Not sure what I did but I went to update map tiles and got a message that I needed to update YAAC version.? Software reports I am at the latest version.? ?My map has disappeared and restarting program does not bring it back.? ?Any help would be appreciated.? Also I am trying to download tiles for a larger radius around my station.

That's very strange, because I posted build#196 (6 builds later than yours) on February 17th this year. I can confirm that build#191 did make a non-compatible change in the map tile file format, so the map tiles presently available can only be downloaded with build#191 or later. Try upgrading YAAC with the Help->Check for Updates menu choice, and see what happens.

The fact that your software claims it is up-to-date is very suspicious. Where did you get it from? If it didn't come from SourceForge or my own personal website , then it isn't official. I'm not sure what YAAC build KM4ACK is presently providing with his ham radio software bundle; I'm assuming he gets it from one of my official sources, but I haven't confirmed this.

As for your map disappearing, I hope you didn't delete your $HOME/YAAC/tiledir directory, because that is where all the map tiles are stored. If you changed the location for your tile directory from the default, you may still be OK, as the old directory is not modified or deleted (or moved) when you change the directory path.

Not sure what I did but I went to update map tiles and got a message that I needed to update YAAC version. Software reports I am at the latest version. My map has disappeared and restarting program does not bring it back. Any help would be appreciated. Also I am trying to download tiles for a larger radius around my station.

Andrew,

The tile directory is still intact.

When I check for new software in the YAAC application it tells me I don't have file permissions to write the files and then tells me my software is up to date.

I have tried multiple methods to change file permissions in my /yaac directory, and they appear to run and change permissions but the check for new software still says that I don't have file permissions.? Do I just have to download the zip file and reinstall as if it is a new install?

I sometimes go for some without checking for updates as there are multiple demands and projects in this ham radio hobby and I am not a linux power user so my software is not always up to date.

It sounds like you originally installed YAAC as root, so now your non-privileged user account doesn't have the privilege to overwrite it.

Whatever directory you have the YAAC.jar file in, you need to recursively change the ownership of the directory and all files and subdirectories in it to the account that will run YAAC ("pi", for example, instead of "root"). Note you will have to be the root user to change the ownership of files to another owner.

For example,

# chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/YAAC

Never run YAAC as root. It doesn't need the unlimited rights of the root user, just membership in a few system groups to access the necessary devices.

Andrew,

Yes the root directory was the default that came up when I originally installed and I suppose I should have changed it but it is what it is.? I

# chown -R pi:pi /yaac was what I tried before but I may have had the syntax wrong. At any rate I did it again and it worked.

Software updated and maps showed up.

Thanks for your help and patience for those of us that are linux challenged :-).

73Linux grabs the YAAC file from ka2ddo.org during the build process so it should be the latest version.
