Rob: Apologies for empty message. I was just starting to compose it when I decided to try one more Google. The problem is that somehow libmapnik3 and libmapnik-dev have a dependency problem caused by a versioning mismatch. The solution was sudo aptitude install libmapnik-dev and to answer each question so as to steer the process towards a versioning rollback which then allows installation. I ran ./configure without incident, make and finally sudo make install. I am now the proud owner of Viking 1.9!...

Thanks Rob. Previously I installed from Ubuntu repositories but I wanted the new features Right Now! Will install the deb packages right now!

Ubuntu and Linux generally: I have figured out that the mime-type entries for Minsky in /etc/mime.types should be application/minsky+xml mky // app text/mky+xml mky //documents Have also figured out creating icons for the app (application-minsky+xml.XXX) and documents (text-mky+xml.XXX), where XXX is a placeholder for png, svg, jpg, gif, etc.

Steve: The developers of LyX decided to 'improve' Latex, so it is not compatible. The Atom editor has a LaTeX plugin. It also has neurosurgery. You can also get a plugin for HTML and other programming languages.

The *.desktop file provides a clickable desktop icon for launching Minsky.

Whoops! Also have to make a minsky.desktop file and place it in /usr/share/applications/ .

I want to tweak the app icon to make it look like a glassy button. Make a document button. Export them as .png files at 72 and 96 ppi, and at multiples and submultiples for Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, and other *ubuntu's, etc. Tweak *.png files with a pixmap editor. Place the *.png files in a /usr/share/icons/hicolor/??x??/apps/ tree, where ??x?? are the multiples and submultiples. Place the *.svg file in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ . Finally, I have to concatenate the *.png files to make an...

I'll now manufacture the .ico, favicon.ico, .png, and .svg files required by Windows and Debian-based OSs. Don't know what Red Hat, Suse, Mandriva, MacOS, etc. require. Is anyone using any of these OSs? Will also manufacture mime types, .desktop files, etc. to create clickable icons on Debian-based OSs. I guess this is already taken care of for Windows.

Issues with Minsky logo/icon
-
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Bionic Beaver I am guessing that the correct entries in the /etc/mime.types file would be application/minsky+xml mky text/mky mky I found a largely incomprehensible document explaining mime types but this cookbook answer appears to be correct. The .deb package in opensuse package builder should add these entries to the /etc/mime.types file. I'll be sending a draft minsky.desktop file and a proposed icon/logo to allow an icon to appear in the Favourites panel and in the Applications...

Where do I get the Ubuntu .deb packages for the Minsky dev releases so I can keep up with new dev releases? Hedley

Perhaps contribute this to a Wikipedia page? 8^)

In /doc/minsky.tex there is \include{SystemDynamicsHistory}. But the SystemDynamicsHistory.tex file does not exist. Is this a placeholder for a future chapter? I cannot see why an economics student would be interested in such a chapter, especially as the Introduction gives a brief discussion of dynamic systems simulations, sufficient for someone who is only going to be interested in simulations applicable to economics or other social sciences. I did not want to raise a ticket for this as it seems...

Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Bionic Beaver Minsky 2.19.0.beta.17 I am too old to learn Tcl/Tk, economics, and advanced maths. However, I was a technical writer developing online help and print manuals for telecommunications testing hardware and software (HP), millenium bug patches & insurance policy management (NAB), telecommunications switch controllers including call tapping (Ericsson),antarctic bases building program (AIP), and accounting and bookkeeping software (MYOB). Previous to that I was a publisher...

I've come in a bit late here. I am playing with Minsky 2.19?? on Ubuntu 18.04.4 and the resize arrows are driving me a little bit more nuts. I try to resize a Var and the value inside it enlarges. I then manage to enlarge the envelope of the Var and the value over-enlarges even more in proportion, and there is no way to get the damn value back inside the envelope. I think the whole question of selection and resizing is bound up together; more below. First, in most vector drawing programs, when a...

I have installed 2.19?? beta and am working through the tutorial in the help files. I added a constant but the value protruded outside the boundary. Attempting to resize the icon also made the value bigger and still protruding.

I am starting Minsky 2.18 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 from the terminal. Does the "minsky" command have any options? I tried $ minsky -v $ minsky -h but the poor thing thought I was trying to force-feed it a file named "-v", etc. I am developing a .desktop file to enable a Minsky icon to appear on the desktop, in the Applications panel, or in the Favorites panel where it can be double-clicked to launch Minsky. I hope to add some context-menu commands to require Minsky to create a new project as it launches,...

Thanks! I have downloaded and installed Minsky. I actually got a Google hit on the OpenSuse site but assumed it would not host .deb packages. While being a complete ignoramus about economics, I can appreciate what a beautiful program it is. The usability is extremely well-thought out. Three suggestions from LayPersonLand: Add a Close option to the File menu. (Yeah, I know New and Open close current file first, but a lot of users are going to save and exit, then reboot to work with a different project.)...

Is there a deb package for Minsky? No luck with Google. I tried the instructions in the README notes in the Minskyarchive but having trouble compiling some dependencies Regards

In the post "New to Viking - observed strange behaviour" http://bit.ly/2RlEK8d a number issues are identified for Viking 1.6.2. These are also likely to affect V1.7. How do I set a routing engine that actually works and supplies a GPX stream as OSRM is no longer compatible? How...

I just found a similar problem in Tickets, and tried starting Viking from the command line with viking -Vd . Attached is the output. I am working slowly through the file to try and understand each error and what I need to do. If the problem is immediatley obvious to anyone reading this, please let me know!

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Bionic Beaver Viking 1.7 OpenCycleMap Tile server: thunderforest For some unknown reason, after Viking launches, it opens with a completely blank canvas. Forcing all map tiles to reload does not work. The current maps.xmlfile is attached. I have authority to access the thunderforest server. This is really baffling. Please ask for extra information about my setup to help troubleshoot this problem. I have tried everything I can think of but nothing pops up. <objects> <object class="VikSlippyMapSource">...

I would like to create a route by using satellite photos as background so that I ca n trace visible walking and vehicle tracks that are not on official maps. I could cycle around aimlessly, with Geo Tracker logging points, in a process of trial and error to establish a route but this wastes a lot of time, even if I hve printouts of Google Maps satellite view with me. Is it possible to add a satellite layer to Viking maps? If not, can anybody recommend any tool where I can plot a route over satellite...

Rob: Thanks for all your help; I am getting there. W.r.t. OSRM data streams, wouldn't it be fairly easy to convert GeoJSON polylines and waypoints to GPX for processing in Viking? If you avoided all the fancy closed geometric shapes. Just ignore the multi-* structures? Or convert all the data structures to polylines and write them back as GeoJSON polylines? I don't think there are too many navigation apps or devices that understand GeoJSON. I am not a programmer, geometer, or geographer. Have you...

Ubuntu 18.04.03 Viking 1.7 OpenCycleMaps I want to calculate a route, like Google Maps. Where and how do I enter the origin and destination coordinates, preferably by giving two addresses, but also by clicking points on the map? Having got the generated route, I want to alter the route by adding mandatory waypoints. I have looked through the posts and the online Help but cannot find any description of the procedure. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

In the Viking Preferences dialogue, Export/External tab, what should I put into the GPX Creator field? I found an actual GPX Creator app but it was rather old and was only a featureless GPX editor. Can anyone suggest an alternative?
