DecoderPro missing on my RPi

#rpi

Don Weigt All Messages By This Member #163115 I used Steve Todd's JMRI image to install working JMRI on my newish Raspberry Pi 3B+. PanelPro is finally working properly on it with simulated connections to my railroad. WiThrottle is working, too. Hurray! Next, I want to get DecoderPro ready to program and keep a roster of my locos and their decoders, using my EasyDCC Command Station to program them. I created a rister for my existing loco fleet on my desktop PC, and used sneakernet to copy it onto the RPi. All is in readiness. Then, I noticed I have no DecoderPro icon to click to launch DecoderPro, and couldn't find another way to do it. That leaves questions: As a complete JMRI installation, I'd expect Steve's image to include DecoderPro. Does it? Might I somehow have not installed or not activated it when I first launched JMRI on the RPi? If it's there, but not activated, is there some way to restore it and its icon? Must I reinstall Steve's JMRI image to make it work? And, will that do it? Don Weigt Connecticut, USA
Tom Wilson All Messages By This Member #163117 Don, Decoderpro is built into Jmri. It is not a separate entity. The user interface just looks different. Steve's image doesnt have the decoderpro launch icon, but you can still get to it from Panelpro. I am like you and use DecoderPro primarily. In Panelpro on one of the menu pages is something about Roster. That will get you there. It might feel a little different.? Somewhere in the Jmri help pages is a link to getting a decoderpro icon on your Pi. I dont remember where but could check later when I can spend some time on it.? But I am guessing someone else will chime in before you hear back from me.? Dont go to the trouble of erasing and uninstalling and reinstalling. It wont change what you are trying to do. If I dont see that someone else has pointed you to it, I will look later this evening. 6 ish hours from now in my time zone and with my schedule.

Dave Sand All Messages By This Member #163121 Two other approaches. Copy a profile and change the start up options to include Open Roster. If an icon is really important, copy the PanelPro icon with a new name and modify the properties.

Don Weigt All Messages By This Member #163124 Thanks everybody for all the help! You saved me a bunch of wasted effort trying to start over installing JMRI... I was able to quickly find and start it. I've also edited the owner fields and added two more locos just to prove I could. All is well! I need to find something else to work on. I know: the physical model railroad! ? :--) Don Weigt Connecticut, USA
