Longranger241 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 the scenery was downloaded it starts extractig and then the conversion of probably JPEG dsf files to png dsf files, but when he the conversion process is stopped it restarts the extraction and the conversion process from the start. Since this part of the installation takes much more time than the download itself a resume function or st least several fall back states would be much more sensible. I several times observed that the Central process simply vanished and when I got back to the computer everything was fine but the Central process simply was no longer there and he had not finished his works.

Mario Donick Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I have a question related to this. Orbx Central so far works fine on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). I had my download interrupted and had to re-start Orbx Central, though. It continued to download files and apparently finished it, but it is now stuck since 1 hour at "conversion", and the progress says "converted: 0 / 19650". When I check the processes, I see 3 parallel OrbX Central processes, each using between 12% and 21% CPU. The folder /tmp/Orbx/temp/chunks contains 502 zip files with a total size of 41.1 GB. The library folder I selected for install (on a different HDD) contains three scenery folders (Custom, Overlay and Orthos). During the last hour nothing in any of these 4 locations (temp, Custom, Overlay, Orthos) changed, file numbers and sizes are still the same, and none of the jpeg files in Orthos has been converted to png. So I wonder what exactly the 3 OrbX processes are doing all the time, and if conversion works at all for me? Edit: I found the central.log and after a restart of OrbX Central, it shows the following: Quote Orbx Central 4 - 0.17.2 Linux 4.15.0-52-generic Booting splashscreen. Application ready to start.

And these final lines are then repeated infintely. So I assume it is indeed trying to convert images, but I'm not sure it is successful.

Mario Donick Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hm, ok... short update: I was assuming that the chunks that were already downloaded will be kept even when I cancel the install process and do another re-start try to install again. Apparently I was wrong, it is now re-downloading the whole 38 GB... Okay, I let it do this over night and go to bed now, maybe after the re-download it will convert successfully and tomorrow morning it is done. I'll report back tomorrow then...

I believe you're using FTX Central 3? If so, the process will be improved in Orbx Central (v4) which will be released for public use very shortly. 2 hours ago, Mario Donick said: Orbx Central so far works fine on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04).

I've just setup a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine and can reproduce the issue your experiencing. It has worked previously on our development Ubuntu machines, so I believe there may be a difference between my VM/your machine and our other machines. We'll be investigating this issue and let you know when we find a solution. Thanks for all the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Donick Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi again, the complete re-install this night did work Somehow the interruption of the initial download probably confused the tool. Just a few minor things: I am just confused why it re-downloaded it only after a few re-starts -- maybe add a button which forces deletion of the temp files and re-download, to make this more clear. After download, it was infinitely showing a "starting" text and the turning circle in the Washington page. After another re-start, it had changed to "uninstall", so was done. In general, the tool is very nice. Clear layout, easy to use, and so far it also seems to work in a reasonable way with the scenery_packs.ini when adding its entries. I also successfully moved my previously installed OrbX scenery to the new library using the "migrate" function. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had libc6-dev already installed. The conversion itself worked fine in my 2nd attempt (except it forgot to delete the jpegs, but thanks to your answer in my other thread, I deleted the jpegs now manually). Don't know what happened, but glad it is installed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
