[Solved] Dead Aircraft when starting without fgrun?

Postby bssmusic » Fri Aug 10, 2018 1:07 pm

Indeed, it was quite simple:
Flightgear was unwillently started "paused", and in this state the Seneca does not come up! :mrgreen: Some of the lights working, but no avionics power. Similar for the Cessna.

Hello,
Since 2018.1.1 I experience the following Problem: When starting flightgear directly from the surface ( without fgrun), I get a "dead" airplane. At 172P everything stays dark ( Battery switch and avionics power on), no radio, no starter. :cry:

Options passed on the command line:
Code: Select all
--launcher
--download-dir=/home/peterb/fgfs
Options set in the launcher:

--prop:/environment/weather-scenario=Core high pressure region


when choosing seneca II the following: Main switch and magnetos on, every circuit braker on, no avionics power, no vacuum pump, no radios except ADF radio!, which seems to have Power!
When I use Fgrun to start, everything seems normal.

Has anybody the same problem, or could explane it?

Sorry - with FGRun you mean... FGRun or something else (as far as I know FGRun only ever was compiled under Windows, yet you seem to indicate you're under Linux).

If it's not FGRun but the Qt launcher, you're probably running into some state overlay issue. Since technically all the launcher does is assembling a commandline, by copy-pasting the options list from the launcher (when you really show everything) to the commandline, you should have identical results.

i'm curious why one command line list has "--enable-freeze" and the other does not... that would cause the symptoms for the c172p, i think...

looking at the log output, it would appear the OP is talking about the new Qt launcher instead of FGRun... i say that because the log output has the thing about starting Advanced Weather automatically and FGRun doesn't/can't do that TTBOMK...

Not true. I have previously (with older versions) also FGRun installed on my Debian.
It is in the repo for jessie --> https://packages.debian.org/jessie/fgrun.
But i think the OP use the build in launcher, because the parameter '--launcher' is in his/her command line.

According to Synaptic it's indeed
fgrun 2016.4.0-1
Is there a possibility to add screenshots? I think that could clarify?

Uh, Oh ...
when i was looking for fgrun, Synaptic proposed an update, which broke fgfs completely.

Code: Select all

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Could flightgear-phi be the villain?

I'll try and deinstall it.
No, that was not the solution: When i try to start by fgrun or ffgo, i get in the log
"fgfs: symbol lookup error: fgfs: undefined symbol: _ZTIN7simgear12TarExtractorE"
Same if starting fgfs directly in Konsole, no further error messages.
No idea if this might be helpful

Postby wkitty42 » Sat Aug 11, 2018 5:21 pm

that's the old FGRun that isn't really supported any more... forget that thing, please... use the new internal Qt launcher (eg: fgfs --launcher) which is supported...

with the error you show, it looks like things got out of sync and you have different libraries in place than what are expected...

it is extremely doubtful that phi will be causing your problems... it is only the web page code for watching FG ops via browser... in other words, it is pretty much only a watcher, not a setter...

the MAIN thing is that your dpkg output shows a mixing of the following... note the versions in the names... this will never work...

flightgear-data-base_1%3a2018.3.0~8553+gitdb7a9b4c+dfsg-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb
flightgear-phi 2016.4.2+dfsg1-1
flightgear-phi_1%3a2018.2.2+dfsg-0ubuntu1~ppa7_all.deb

all of FG related installation archives must be of the same version... they cannot be mixed and matched... if you are using multiple PPAs, drop all of them except for one... you're probably better served to use only the stable PPA and not the edge... i would uninstall all of FG and then reinstall from only the stable PPA making sure that all of the proposed packages have the same version numbering...

Basically what wkitty42 said. It looks like you have packages installed from the Stable PPA, the Edge/Development PPA, and the distro packages, which are three separate versions and cannot be used together. I recommend completely uninstalling flightgear-related packages (this includes flightgear, libsimgearcore*, libsimgearscene*, flightgear-data-*) and installing from only one source.

Ah, OK! I had not understood that right before. I'll do so tomorrow and report, if successful.
Thank You

OK, I have removed ("vollständig deinstallieren") everything I could find related to FlightGear, changed to "http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/flightgear/ubuntu"
and made a fresh install. Same procedure as every year! The battery seems to be completely empty. I have added two links to my dropbox for two (small) screenshots, mains and avionic breakers are on, Battery gauge shows "Zero"

The only devices which seem to have power are the green testbutton beside the overboost warnings and the ADF radio.
Fgfs was started with "fgfs --launcher" from terminal, here the complete error messages:

use the F10 menu and go into the c172p section... click the [Repair] button and it should fix anything that is broken as well as recharging the battery... yes, battery drainage is modeled and sitting there idling without the engine running but with lights and etc on will drain the battery...

if that doesn't fix it, then go into your ~/.fgfs/aircraft-data folder and delete the xml file for the c172p in there... we have found that sometimes properties saved don't load properly when new versions of the craft are installed... deleting this one file fixes that... you will have to make your specific craft customization choices again (livery, engine, wheels, etc) and the flying time on the hobbs meter will be reset...

Good idea, but no, it is unchecked in both cases

you did exit the sim, delete the file and then restart the sim, right? otherwise it is possible the bad settings got resaved again...

i don't know what "model 82" is and neither "model 81"... WHY do people shorthand what they are saying like this???

right, so i did - is there yet another place, where data could be stored?

c172p model 81 and c172p model 82, sorry, we spoke about Cessna 172P before and i did not want to repeat and quote all and everything :wink:
I tried to start fgfs without any launcher and expected to be on a c172p mod. 81 in San Francisco, but got a 172p Mod 82 in Honolulu. Anyway, I had Power on the Battery, so i think, the problem is around the launcher indeed, it produces log:
"Nasal runtime error: non numeric argument to pow()
at /windoze/F/fgfs/Aircraft/c172p/Nasal/engine.nas, line 100"
When starting with ffgo (http://frougon.net/projects/FFGo/), I get the Cessna running, but not the Piper Seneca - I will try to figure this out.
As I have a second (remaining :) ) working folder on an other partition, maybe I have to kill and rebuild it.
