+++ INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
This software is running on 32bit/64bit - Linux with the help of the Mono runtime environment without any modifications.
|
|
There is no special installation package or archive to download.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless some precautions are necessary depending on the your Linux system.
|
|
Linux support remains experimental, I simply cannot verify all existing configurations.
|
|
AirScout was tested with a 64bit SUSE Linux (Leap 42.3) with KDE-Desktop and Mono 4.6.1 in a VMWare virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
To get ist running on your system, please follow the steps below
|
|
|
|
1. Check if your version of Linux is up to date
|
|
2. Install the full Mono package by running:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install mono-complete (on most systems)
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
sudo zypper install mono-complete (on SUSE Linux)
|
|
|
|
3. Unzip archive or simple copy all unpacked files in a directory of your choice, e.g. /home/[Linux Username]/AirScout
|
|
4. Open a terminal window there
|
|
5. Run AirScout by typing "mono AirScout.exe"
|
|
6. Have fun with AirScout running on Linux with 99% functionality
|

|
+++ KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
|
|
|
|
- Web browser window not working
|
|
- Main window's last location, size and state cannot be saved properly --> AirScout is always starting maximized
|
|
- Splitter position cannot be saved properly --> use default splitter positions
|
|
- Frameless splash window on startup does not work --> show it with frame
|
|
- Startup Wizard cannot be shown with Aero design --> show it in standard form design (causes some errors in layout)
|
|
- some minor graphics issues, sometimes text does not fit in bounds
|
|
- some minor textbox select issues (text is not selected when clicking once in the MyCall or DXCall textbox)
|
|
- Settings upgrade from previous versions do not work, always use default settings when upgrading
|
|
- database view for maintenance does not work --> SQLite-DataAdapter issues
|
|
- Program sometimes does not close properly, stops working while saving settings to disk
|
|
- dropdowns for callsigns and locators disappear on startup on some configurations (seems to be a graphics issue) --> try to resize window to get them back
|
|
- filling the watch list ith calsigns is taking ages.

VERY IMPORTANT!!! ON SOME OLDER/SMALLER SYSTEMS THE SSL ENCRYPTED CONNECTIONS ("https://......") DO NOT WORK
|
|
IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE TO IMPORT SSL CERTIFICATES TO THE MONO CERTIFICATE STORE MANUALLY!!!
|
|
|
|
Mono is using its own certificate store different from system or Mozilla's web browser.
|
|
The synchronisation should be done automatically but I found it not working sometimes after downloading the Mono package.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the "ca-certificates-mozilla" package to get SSL certificates
|
|
2. Import the certificates into the Mono certificate store by typing "sudo cert-sync /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem" (can be a different location on other versions!)
