Re: AT&T users loosing access
Does anyone know what to do to save all the stored emails under the att.net accounts. Can one move the data to another email address? Why hasn't att notified us what to do.

Re: Chromebook w/LXDE Can't Access Serial Ports
Changing the permissions of USB ports with chmod is generally not successful with most Linux distributions. The problem is that ports are ephemeral and are destroyed (and recreated with default permissions) every time you unplug/plug the cable. You need to add yourself to the group you see next to the port when you do an "ls -l".
Furthermore there are some filters in the JMRI startup script that may hide your port if it has a non-standard name. There is either a command-line override or a script variable for this, I haven't got the details to hand at present, someone else should be able to help with this.

Re: Decoder Pro Roster copied into Panel Pro
This was something I was going to cover. Rather than copying the Roster, etc. you tell both PanelPro and DecoderPro to use the same User Files Location.
One way to do this is simply configure DP and PP to use the same profile, but this will not work so well when you may have to configure several different connection profiles to handle your Power Cab and SB5 connections.
The better way is to move all your User Files to a location outside any profile. Many users and JMRI developers do this and many use Dropbox for between-computer sharing and/or a safety oops backup , so we have written a help page for doing so.
Even if you choose not to use Dropbox, the principles are the same for moving User Files. Read these links and get back for further help:

Re: Decoder Pro Roster copied into Panel Pro

If I retype my roster information (that I have entered into Decoder Pro) and put into Panel Pro, would I once completed with that activity, delete the roster information in Decoder Pro? ?

2. Is same as NCE D104KRS. I not sure if TTX had relabeled NCE KSR-SR decoders as well or not.
3. I think that was a MC2 decoder with custom length harness for an S1 loco, program same as standard MC2.

Because the NCE USB jumper settings and JMRI settings differ between the Power Cab and the SB5, plus the need to ensure the Power Cab Panel (PCP) with its power supply remains standalone with no connection to the SB5 (you will still need to have the ability to use the Power Cab standalone for Program Track operations - the SB5 has no Program Track facility), there are a number of ways to do this. Since this question is often asked, I'll write up a document to cover the various options and their merits. But I'm rather busy at present so it may take a day or so. But in the interim I'll just mention that the optimum configuration includes buying a second NCE USB and also (if needed) a UTP panel to increase the number of connections to the SB5 over the two available on the front panel (but you won't need that if you only have one throttle). -- Dave in Australia On 26 Jun 2017, at 2:27 AM, Verner Shoup lucyshoup@...

I want to first say thanks to Dave for helping me get JMRI working. I am getting use to (everyday) using JMRI on my programming track. Now I want to hook it into my layout. Ihave a NCE SB5 Command Station controlling the layout, making my NCE Power Cabto act as a Pro Cab. The SB5 sendcommands through a NCE circuit breaker, which then sends commands to the tracksetc. How is the USB Interface/JMRI/Computer wired into the NCE SB5 CommandStation? I hope my question makes sense.

Re: Testing (was JMRI 4.7.6 and apologies
Let's get one thing out of the way before I start my comment proper: I'm
not a programmer or a developer of anything. I'm a 'final consumer.'
However, my late wife /was /a professional mainframe software engineer
and programmer, and she was leader of a maintenance and development
team. If I learned one thing from her it was this: No matter how many
tests you devise, and how many you run, /somebody/ will manage to do
something that you didn't think of, sometimes intentionally, sometimes
not, but it /will /happen - and your new program won't have expected it,
and won't know how to deal with it.
She had a team of programmers and testers (because her company's
software cost a LOT of money) and despite that, customers still
occasionally found bugs. The JMRI group isn't so fortunate, so the
developers do their best, and then release a 'test' or 'beta' version so
those who want to try it out and test it further can do so.
Nobody with even a modicum of common sense would expect a 'test release'
to be bug free; yes, you might be lucky, but I wouldn't like to bet on it.
The idea is that you try it out, find bugs if any, and report them; you
don't complain that they're there.
Just my four penn'orth
