What's happening?

  • 100% CPU with 2.0.0.57

    I've seen this with older versions, too, but I upgraded to be sure. When using a USB-to-serial adapter (currently using one with an ATEN chipset), CPU usage goes up to 100% and stays there even if no traffic is flowing. If I close the port, CPU usage drops. If I use the one real serial port (on the motherboard not a USB device), CPU usage is normal.

  • Comment: Curl error during compile?

    Ok, that explains it. Unfortunately curl 7.17 hasn't made it into the stable branch of Debian etch yet so it looks like I'm just out of luck until that happens.

  • Dual screen on WinXP slows down stellarium

    I thought I'd let you know of an interesting quirk (I don't think I can quite call it a bug just yet) with WinXP in dual screen mode (desktop spanning across screens) on my laptop. In single screen mode, everything works fine. Startup time is fast, I get at least 15 fps and smooth panning. This is on a Toshiba Satellite with 384 MB RAM, 900 MHz PIII. Now, I do have an external LCD for the...

  • Comment: Cygwin: FCC Lookup fails with SSIDs

    Logged In: YES user_id=1210804 Aha, that is the problem but I solved it by using the command out of fcc-get. The README.MAPS file needs to be adjusted to include the full command: cat EN.dat /usr/bin/perl -pe 's/\r\r\n//g' | sort +4 -t \| > EN.dat.sorted Right now it just says: To sort the file: Make sure you have plenty of disk space for this as the file is...

  • Comment: Cygwin: FCC Lookup fails with SSIDs

    Logged In: YES user_id=1210804 I did process the FCC file using the sort command outlined in the README.MAPS file (even though the FCC file is already sorted). Xastir did rebuild the index and told me so at startup. The index file also shows up in ~/.xastir/data with the current timestamp. I don't have an RAC data file (no need, I'm too far from Canada) only the FCC data file which is...

  • Comment: Cygwin: FCC Lookup fails with SSIDs

    Logged In: YES user_id=1210804 I just compiled the latest stable 1.7.0 and it still fails to properly look up FCC IDs. The data is in the EN.dat file because I can grep the file for a callsign that Xastir will not look up and see the entry. But if I ask for the FCC data from the Station Info box, all I ever get is "Callsign not found!" This is happening with a lot of call signs. Some...

  • Comment: Cygwin: FCC Lookup fails with SSIDs

    Logged In: YES user_id=1210804 It fails with Xastir 1.6.0 (or whatever comes down from CVS) under Cygwin/Windows XP. I've recompiled a few times with the same result. If the call has an SSID, it will not look up the data from the database.

  • Cygwin: FCC Lookup fails with SSIDs

    Performing an FCC lookup on any station containing an SSID fails. Stations without an SSID work fine. Also weather stations (regardless of having SSID) fail to look up.

  • WHERE clause fails for date fields

    I am attempting to use mdb-sql to fetch data from an MSADB file as provided by a vendor of some equipment. It is storing readings from a sensor. The database is fairly simple in structure. One table, three fields: an ID (sequential number), a Date/Time field, and a string for storing the reading. The problem is when I try to select data based on the date, I get: <i> Calling...
