Linux

The Linux version is experimental for the moment. The autoupdate supports the download of a Debian package but there is also a Red Hat package. Go to the Download page for the download links.

These are packages automatically generated by Electron-packager. Only the Debian version is tested on an Ubuntu distribution. Do not hesitate to give feedback on the Red Hat version.

Installation

At the end of the installation, a working folder named Logfly will be created in Documents. This folder contains the logbook(s) and the srtm files for the display of the reliefs. Logfly 5 used a .logfly folder located in the home. In principle, during installation, Logfly 6 retrieves the path of the logbook managed by Logfly 5. If this recovery fails, go to the Configuration option and point to the .logfly path.

On Ubuntu, the Debian package installs automatically if you have given it the necessary permissions. In case of problems do :

   sudo dpkg -i logfly6.deb

Flymaster and Flytec GPS

The first use of a Flymaster or Flytec will return an error message: Permission not granted

It will indeed be necessary to grant rights to it. If, for example, the Flymaster is recognized under /dev/ttyACM0, it will be necessary to make a :

  sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0
However, this authorization will only be valid for the current session. To make it permanent, you will have to set up a rules file for the UDEV system. Explanations on the net as for example the Ubuntu doc.
