May 15 20:03:16 <lardman> morning all
May 15 20:04:25 <lardman> not maemo related, but I wonder if this is the best starting point - looking to run modrana on a RPi-based bike computer
May 15 20:04:52 <lardman> seems that there are still github updates, but all the websites mentioning it are rather old
May 15 20:05:10 <lardman> any thoughts? Thanks :)
May 15 20:11:26 <sixwheeledbeast> lardman: github is the best place it should run fine if you have all the dependencies. Python/Qt
May 15 20:12:07 <sixwheeledbeast> not sure if GPS will work if that's a concern.
May 15 20:12:21 <lardman> @sixwheeledbeast, thanks - I was wondering about docs re adaptions for different platforms (or I could just read the code!)
May 15 20:12:35 <lardman> not too worried about GPS, GPSD should handle that
May 15 20:12:47 <sixwheeledbeast> It's just python i don't believe it needs building
May 15 20:13:16 <lardman> I was also curious as to whether there's a new and improved version I've not spotted yet (I was led to modRana from wikipedia's Rana pages)
May 15 20:13:51 <sixwheeledbeast> I have downloaded it and ran it on Ubuntu amd64 for example. Latest versions are on github
May 15 20:14:40 <lardman> cool, thanks :)
May 15 20:24:52 <sixwheeledbeast> git clone master and then python3 modrana.py should do it
May 15 20:29:11 <lardman> thx - I have it running on the Pi (it defaults to a PC platform as expected), I was just curious that while github has updates I can't see where else it is used
May 15 20:29:47 <lardman> it may be that sailfish devices are using it, I don't have a working one
May 15 20:30:14 <lardman> just a weird disconnect between the updates and the apparent (via) Google users
May 15 20:30:49 * lardman tried to go back and edit that line - too much Teams use for work!
May 15 20:41:37 <sixwheeledbeast> I believe the dev has a Sailfish device so focused on that. There are other branches for the N900 version, it's being updated to keep up with supported Qt and Python versions where N900 is now outdated.
May 15 20:42:27 <sixwheeledbeast> I can't seem to run it on Ubuntu any more apparently. 
May 15 20:54:10 <lardman> Thanks @sixwheeledbeast :)
May 15 20:56:03 <sixwheeledbeast> lardman: np, it seems to detect and run a different version depending on the platform it detects. I can't get either to work I imagine i am missing some dependency somewhere.
May 15 20:57:24 <lardman> I think I had all the deps and it ran, just not workable on the little LCD screen I have
May 15 20:57:46 <lardman> I'll do some fiddling with the code and create an RPi "platform" file for it
May 15 20:59:06 * lardman realises that @ is not required, it has been nearly 10 years and I blame Teams for the bad habit! :)
May 15 20:59:56 <sixwheeledbeast> it seems the pc version needs gtk2 for pygtk and ubuntu is now gtk3? python3 will not run because it looks for some Sailfish module?
May 15 21:00:28 * lardman looks to see what the RPi requires
May 15 21:03:40 <lardman> it runs, and can't easily be killed, but no visible GUI#
May 15 21:04:24 <lardman> default python on the RPi is 2.7 though
May 15 21:04:57 <sixwheeledbeast> I have spoken to M4rtinK before. I am sure he would look over any pull request you have to get a detected Pi version working. Last time I ran it on PC was the old N900 version it's changed a lot since then, plus python and Qt have moved on
May 15 21:07:21 <lardman> indeed, time flies. Thanks for your help, I'll do some hacking and try to get something "pullable" together :)
