Bug 28765

Which workable routino and qmapshack release MX-Linux uses?

CC: (none) => geiger.david68210

Thank you for the report.

1. In QMapShack, select 'Create a Routino dataBase' in the Tool menu
2. Downloaded the Luxembourg .pbf file
Click the 'Select source files' icon at top, choose the downloaded file
Click the 'Select target path' icon at bottom, choose a directory
Typed a prefix (LUX) in the following field
Press the adjacent Start button :

/usr/bin/routino-planetsplitter --dir=/home/lewis/tmp --prefix=LUX --tagging=/usr/share/routino/tagging.xml --parse-only /home/lewis/Desktop/luxembourg-latest.osm.pbf
Parse OSM Data [/home/lewis/Desktop/luxembourg-latest.osm.pbf]

...
Write Out Database Files
========================
Wrote Nodes: Nodes=331417  
Wrote Ways: Ways=16586  
Wrote Relations: Turn Relations=660
!!! done !!!

It created:
-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis lewis 3977864 Ebr  12 12:52  LUX-nodes.mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis lewis   10564 Ebr  12 12:52  LUX-relations.mem

-rw-r--r-- 1 lewis lewis  396632 Ebr  12 12:52  LUX-ways.mem

3. In the RH Routing window, Database line, click the RH blue icon. This opens a mini-dialogue "Setup Routino database"; click the '+' icon, this opens a file chooser dialogue, you can select the (target) directory, and see the contents; but it is all greyed, not selectable. It does not look like a permissions problem.
There is no console output at all associated with this last stage.

Assigning this to DavidG whose baby it is. I see you have just put new version: 1.15.2 in Cauldron! To try? Can you put it in Updates_Testing?

Ok, here I found what is going wrong, if you follow all QMapShack instructions you have to create a folder with some recommended subfolders as explain here:


============
Give it a home
============

QMapShack needs a folder on your hard drive where all data is kept. Naturally this will grow very large. We recommend a folder with some subfolders:

Maps - where all maps are stored
DEM - where all elevation data is stored
Routino - where routing data for the Routino offline router is stored
BRouter - where routing data for the BRouter offline router is stored
Databases - where you create databases to organize your GIS data
GPX - where you keep GPX files

Do you want to create these folders right now? Give me a path and QMapShack will create all sub-folder and update all settings.

============

So here I created "/home/david/qmapshack" folder after I right ckick to "path" to auto create all subfolders.

Now I get:

Current home:
/home/david/qmapshack

$ ls /home/david/qmapshack/
BRouter/  Databases/  DEM/  GPX/  Maps/  Routino/

The routino folder should absolutely named as "Routino" and all database should be created in it. With folder named "routino" it doesn't work and if routino database are not in this specific folder it does not found any .mem files.

Thanks for your feedback. I should have seen that for myself; a case of RT.M! I just followed Olivier's instructions, which he said worked with MX-Linux. Following your - their - instructions:
* Manually created a 'qmapshack' directory.
Then from the Welcome page you cited:
* Give it a home -  Give me a path and QMapShack will create all sub-folder and update all settings. [The directory created above, it created the sub-dirs]
* Routing - Routino - (Tool->Create Routino Database)
gave me the following, which looks good:

$ tree /mnt/common/tmp/qmapshack/
/mnt/common/tmp/qmapshack/
├── BRouter
├── Databases
├── DEM
├── GPX
├── Maps
└── Routino
    ├── LUX-nodes.mem
    ├── LUX-relations.mem
    ├── LUX-segments.mem
    └── LUX-ways.mem

> 3. In the RH Routing window, Database line, click the RH blue icon
Will attach screenshot of doing so. It showed the
 /mnt/common/tmp/qmapshack/Routino/
directory path, and just clicking OK then showed 'LUX' [prefix used] in the Database dropdown list. Have to assume this is all correct, without knowing how to drive it.

@Olivier : please re-try as indicated.

‌Hello,

I made everything as you say.

[olivier@localhost ~]$ tree '/mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/Routino' 
/mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/Routino
├── LUX-nodes.mem
├── LUX-relations.mem
├── LUX-segments.mem
└── LUX-ways.mem

0 directories, 4 files
[olivier@localhost ~]$ 

when I click the RH blue, I get a window with a '+' to add a directory , a trash  , Ok and Cancel
No directory is listed
If I just click 'OK' the window closes and nothing more
If I click +, I can choose a directory , but it is not possible to add it, because Open button has no effect
I said that it works fine with MX-linux , so I do the same in Mageia, as you tell me to do, and it does not work...
maybe something else is going wrong in my computer ?

Olivier

First screenshot was before clicking the OK; this second one the result of doing so.

The difference from what I did seems to be that your 'Setup Routino database' window did not already show /mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/Routino . Why?
Mine did (see first screenshot, directory highlighted), so rather than click '+' I just clicked the OK; which made my LUX prefix appear in the Routing pane Database field (second screenshot).

Did you follow the "Give me a path" and "QMapShack has a built-in Routino Database Creator (Tool->Create Routino Database)" links on the Welcome page?
I wonder whether your use of my LUX prefix (arbitrary) confused it, if you had previously defined a different prefix.

Because you have been round the loop more than once, I suspect that some path information is wrong somewhere. "QMapShack will create all sub-folder and update all settings" - the last bit makes me doubtful. I can find no mention of where the basic path is defined: nor any config file in $HOME to delete.

Unless you have added anything important, I would be tempted to uninstall the two packages and re-install them, and start from the beginning again. You already have the routino file you want downloaded. I seem to have managed what you are trying.

MapShack.conf


Is it something wrong in the file ?

The file is in $HOME/.config/QLandKarte

(In reply to Olivier NICOD from comment #10)
> The file is in $HOME/.config/QLandKarte
Thanks. That German name is why I did not find it!
I will compare later yours and mine. No time now.

Looking at the *** items, there does seem to be something wrong with your configuration.
So I suggest you:
- delete the config file
- delete everything under '/mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/', but keep the directory
then start again from zero with your already downloaded country data.
If this does not work, we both need to start again in parallel.

Hello,

First of all, many thanks for your comments.

So, I have written manually in the conf file my routino path
Then I have started QMapShack
I do see LUX in the selector.
If I put several routino basest the mem files) in the same directory (FR, BE, LUX) , I do see all  in the choice list. This is good
But , if  I want to place the mem files in different directories, I cannnot do it by the interface.
It is only possible if I write manually the different pathes in the conf file, separated by a comma.
So my conclusion is that the software is working well, except the adding of the directories in the config file by the interface. 
Did you do these manipulations ?
Thanks again
Olivier

Glad things are looking up.

1: why would you want to put .mem files in a different directory? I thought the software wanted them all in their dedicated directories; the prefix separates different ones.
2: please post what (and where) you write manually in the conf file to enable what you want.
3; having done your own manipulation, do the extra directories show somewhere in the GUI ?

> Did you do these manipulations ?
No.

add a directory GUI

 my both directories appear in the list

in the conf file
[Route]
......language=4
mapquest\preference=0
routino\database=1
routino\language=2
routino\mode=1
routino\paths=/mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/Routino/LUX, /mnt/MonRaid1/qmapshack/Routino/FR
routino\profile=6
......

For me the solution is OK, only the GUI which adds the directories does not work

Created attachment 12647 [details]
Screenshot showing multiple directories in the '+' dialogue, all by GUI

I think it does work correctly, but its rules are obscure. I made two directories  $HOME/another/  $HOME/Routino/  and was able to see and add them one at a time. Curiously, this line in config:
routino\paths=/mnt/common/tmp/qmapshack/Routino
only seemed to show the most recent. It looks as if you have to choose just one to work with. Whatever, this affair looks more a question of usability than a bug.

Closing.
