truncated text labels

#labels
Good morning all, windows 11, jmri 5.11.4 Java 17 my panels are Layout Editor panels. I'm noticing that almost all of my text labels are getting cut short. example, "Track2" looks like this "Trac..." on the panel. I try to fix each instance of this occance, store all tables and panels after the fix, but when I restart panel pro, the issue returns. is there a fix to this problem?

5.11.4 Assistance Needed, Ghost Blocks Issue, Dispatcher Issue
2
#dispatcher
I think I finally learned enough to make it thru SML but am stuck on Dispatcher which may be related to ghost blocks. I made all turnouts ghost, added sensor and have no logic although I show the sensor on layout and the layout never shows entry occupancy and exit. I initially used auto-generated sections but it was difficult for me to interpret so I deleted all and made a couple simple sections for testing. It initially stopped on a ghost block but by manually setting/clearing sensor the loco moved on and then stopped after going past a level crossing. (There was nothing in the log.) I've tried a few things but can't relate to what dispatcher is thinking. Uploaded file to problems as GGNN.xml from stevemac. I'm new yearning for knowledge so tell me anything. Any advice appreciated.

Tom, Since we had an offline personal conversation about JMRI-CMRI compatibility problem 2 years ago, I am writing directly to you with CC the jmriusers to make sure that someone sees this, My system info: Panel Pro 3.10.1-r28327 Java 1.8.0_421 (en.ca) Reason for using this old software is because my JMRI panels made many years ago were incompatible with current JMRI and Java when I upgraded my home computer to a Windows 10 machine in 2023. The panel display was badly corrupted and Tom helped me instal old versions of JMRI and Java on the new Windows 10 machine in June 23, 2023 The executable JMRI panel file is ported to an old XP machine running the CMRI signalling system composed of CMRI RS232 to RS 484 Conversion card connected to 2 SMINI’s. This worked fine until the old XP machine died. Trying to use a Windows computer running Windows 10, but when using the JMRI Panel Pro version 3.10.1 on simulation it works OK, but when going to Preferences to go on line and trying to connect to serial port, JMRI crashes whether saving or not. The JMRI program now has been corrupted. Had to delete JMRI and copy in JMRI directory of files that we had saved. Now Panel Pro starts up in Simulation mode but will not run in on line CMRI mode. Looks like the old version of JMRI executable is incompatible with Windows 10. Tried to instal latest JMRI into another machine to see if I could get JMRI latest release to run online to CMRI on the Windows 10 machine and it downloads all the way to the un instal JMRI program and goes no further and hangs up. That may be an issue with this computer’s Windows setup as it cannot uninstall any other applications either. Have seen on JMRI user that there are issues with Windows 10 and serial ports. . This crash happens whether the UTS-TOS USB to RS485/232 is plugged into or not to a USB port on the computer. Tried both the 2 com Port COM! & COM3 that were offered. Then Panel Pro will not start at all even after rebooting the computer. Will try to download latest JMRI and Java into a different computer later. Thank you, Bob Winterton I included the email chain with Tom Pearson below. On Jun 24, 2023, at 2:25 PM, bobwinterton@... wrote: ? Tom, Installed Java SE 8 , and JMRI 3.10.1 with your links , and all OK and up and running. The uninstall button on the JAVA in Windows 10 Settings did the job and had no problems installing Java releases. I see no need to try the transitioning a release at a time to get up to date as proposed in some topic messages. No plans to make any changes that I can't make with this old version of Panel Pro which I understand. It is serving us well with CTC and APBS controls for 8 years. many thanks for your clear and concise instructions, so I did not have to wade through release notes and other documentation. As you noticed from my posts I did find that my Panels files were quite graphics incompatible with the current JMRI Panel Pro. Upgrading would be a nightmare in trying to redo the Panels. Would have to start from scratch, about a year's worth of trial and error. BTW, I had professional CPR railway personnel and railway documents that helped me get all the aspects for each location on Schreiber Division that we modelled correctly. The retired railway operating guys ( not just CP) who have operated trains here in our op sessions really enjoy it immensely. Bruce Chubb was also involved in helping us get good colour renditions for LED's, that I tested from a number of sources. Yes you guessed already , that I am an electrical engineer hardware and software developer and project manager in another life. Really appreciate all the work and time you and many others have put into this project. Thank you all !! Bob From: Tom <Texpearson@...> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2023 9:54 PM To: bobwinterton@... Subject: Re: Private: Re: [jmriusers] Problem downloading new version of JMRI and Java in new computer running Windows 10 One thing I forgot to mention is cleaning up and removing versions of Java you aren’t using.

Closing or Teminating Scripts

#scripting
In my quest of developing scripts, I often test, re-write, save (under a new name), re-run and continue. After hearing an old script still running.... and I checked the theads; nothing is runing, or so I thought. So without rebooting JMRI, hoe wo a check, and close active scrpts running in the back ground? Be patient with me, this old bird is learning fast. Darrin Calcutt Canadian Locomotive Logistics

WiThrottle function master list
5
#functionlabels
A friend came over yesterday for an zoos session and showed me how to set the function list on JMRI for a locomotive so when using WiThrottle it shows “horn, bell, ditch lights, step lights” etc instead of “5, 6, 7.” My question is, he showed me how to set it for an individual locomotive. I have a roaster of about 150… and they are all programmed exactly the same functions. Is there a way to set a master function list for JMRI so that a WiThrottle will show the same function list for each locomotive? Thanks Lou -- Modeling Conrail’s Boston Line in HO https://youtube.com/channel/UCipciZLAehrvcFpTWoOJsDQ

I want to modify the "PreferencesExamples" script to show me the - Preferences - System manufacture and System connection. I want to check when I'm in " Digitrax - LocoNet Simulator " mode, for use in another script. I can't find the info on how to reference these points. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Can‘t Connect WiThrottle with PanelPro WiFi server

Gentlemen, using latest version of PanelPro, Digitrax, Windows 11. I am unable to connect with WiThrottle App to control engines. I have a good connection either the Internet, and all other Apps on my iPhone function. When I open PanelPro a window opens that indicates the server is listening on a certain IP address which has functioned in the past. This failure is new. what‘s up? Ed Nowicki

Java version 21.0.6
3
#java
I have just upgraded the club computer to Linux Mint 22. As part of that upgrade, the system installed Java version 21.0.6. The JMRI version installed is5.2. I plan to upgrade it to 5.10. Will that version of JMRI be compatible with java 21, or do I need to change to java 17? I don't see that java 21 is recommended on the JMRI website. Dave Morgan https://www.tcmr.club/

Another Could not create JAVA virtual machine problem solved by GROK
2
#java
The last thread on this topic seems to have been locked.and I didn't see a resolution. I installed JMRI and Azul Java 17 in January on a Windows 11 laptop that was a couple months old. It worked fine then. Today I got the dreaded cannot create the Java virtual machine. I could not find anything helpful here except type JAVA -version into the command prompt. That got me not the version but this: extensions mechanism no longer supported; Use -classpath instead. I tried repairing JAVA, I deleted it and reinstalled it with reboots between each step. No success I consulted GROK. Eventually it had me search for: JAVA_HOME>JRE/LIB/EXT I had a heck of a time finding it, because AZUL doesn't install a file called JAVA. Nor did I ever find a JAVA_HOME. I did find JAVA files in my ThinkorSwim directory (a stock market program) Eventually I discovered the lib file; it is in the Program Files in the ZULU directory. I tried renaming the LIB file to old LIB, but that didn't work. GROK had me change it back to LIB and look for files with the .jar extension in the EXT folder. I moved that single file to a new file on the desktop as well as one that was in the LIB directory. That still didn't solve my problem. GROK told me to change EXT to old EXT. That worked. Decoder Pro works and so does Thinkorswim. ThinkorSwim, unbeknownst to me also uses Java. I reinstalled it after I installed DecoderPro and Zulu's maybe that cause my problem? For you JAVA geeks here is my whole conversation with GROK. It is long because I am the opposite of a JAVA geek and it started with what is -classpath. https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=1903914814411256108 Hopefully it helps someone. -- Henry S,

Hello Friends I would describe myself as a beginner when it comes to JRMI,been working on it around a week The end goal is to automate a train. As you see above i have entered Turnouts sensors and Signal Heads.I used SSL and i admit it was messy,so maybe thats come back to haunt me,but when i run a train Manually it seems to run nicely.Above you see a Train occupied in Platform 1. Does it look okay? So to the problem.I created a simple transit,using 3 sections Platform 1 to a Turnout Block to A Mainline(left to right. Everything looks good until i create a train in Dispatcher,as soon as i do the Dispatcher tells me the train is "waiting"and nothing happens I have noticed the Green Lamp you see on Platform turns from Green to Red as soon as i run dispatcher,so its saying ahead is occupied but where. Can anyone advise or ask me Questions to help solve Again thanks for your time.

WiThrottle track power switch
#withrottleserver
I’ve noticed something odd If my Lenz/JMRI system starts with the track power OFF, WiThrottle doesn’t show the track power switch at all, so I can’t turn the power back on again I then go into JMRI and turn the power on from there, and now I DO have the track power switch However. If JMRI starts with the track power already ON, everything works as expected Does anyone else have a Lenz LZV200and can tell me if theirs behaves the same please?? Cheers Phil G by

Is the Digitrax SDXH187Ao Missing from Decoder list?
3
#definitions
#digitrax
Just installed a Digitrax Decoder SDXH187Ao (or 0?). Using a NCE system on program track and DP can’t find the decoder. Using the drop-down menu decoder selection list for Digitrax, I am unable to find this decoder on the list. I have found a SDXH167 and thought I read where the 167 is an older version. Do I need to update DP? Would rather stay away from doing this if I can…everything is running smoothly while every update I do entails way to much retweaking and setting up to get things (com ports-Java etc). thank you. Using Decoder Pro 5.2 +R760b9853f with Java 17.0.6 (en) on NCE program track.

I would like to know how to set faded sound levels using JMRI with ESU decoders. Is there a definitive guide anywhere I could see - either video or text based - that explains the sound settings in detail? Thanks in advance. Chris
