New skin LCARS after update, is that right?

jbjbjb · July 30, 2014 at 9:35 AM

Hi.

After last update of YaVDR 0.5, I can not display the default previous skin and I have by default LCARS?. Is that correct? or did I make something wrong when I updated YaVDR?

Regards.

What was your previous skin?
The skin shouldn't change by an update. But text2skin is now an optional plugin so it can be uninstalled by people who have problems with it.

Nope, my previous skin was the default one, but I do not remember the name and I think it is not among the actual sking list.

Maybe it was "NarrowHD". I don't know, if it's a text2skin skin or a native skin or in which package it was.

Hasn't been updated for years, I don't know if it's compatible with the current text2skin. There had been some changes in the plugin.

Yes it was, but it seems to be dissapeared, how can I recover the skin?

The only skins I have to select are:
- LCARS
- ST:TNG Panels
- Classic VDR

But I do not have any more skins. Is that right?

I'm not an expert for text2skin, but maybe you should contact the author.
On the other hand there are some new skins (vdr-plugin-skinflat, vdr-plugin-skinflatplus, vdr-plugin-skinnopacity) which are actively maintained.

Have found a thread with a new version, the git has only the old version:
NarrowHD v0.2

I don't know if I can find the time tonight to try to make a new package with it. I'll try.

You can install them with "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install vdr-plugin-skinflat".

Is vdr-plugin-text2skin installed and enabled? Does it match the installed vdr version?

Code

apt-cache policy vdr vdr-plugin-text2skin

The default skin for yaVDR 0.5 was text2skin with an anthra 1920 theme.

I recommend to try the new skins flatPlus or nopacity (vdr-plugin-skinflatplus or vdr-plugin-skinnopacity), they are actively developed and you can use new features from vdr.

Hi.

You are right, I have installed test2skin and anthra 1920 theme and I recovered the same skin as before the update.

I do not know why text2skin and anthra have been uninstalled in last update????

Now, I can not display wareagle icons.....how can I recover them?

Hi again.

How can I recover wareagle icons? They are also missing after the update.

fnu · July 31, 2014 at 10:50 AM

Wareagle icons are not a package, they are part of a patch for VDR itself. So, if they are really missing in VDR package, there's no easy way to recover them ...

I don't know if the patch is included, but do you have the option in setup to enable them?

Hi
The option menu is:

Menu-->7.- System-->2.-Setup-->1.-Screen Menu-->>> The 4 option is to Enable/Disable Wareagle icons.

Do you use osd-fonts which include wareagle symbols?

So, patch is included. Symbols are IIRC part of the package "vdrsymbols-ttf", please check if this is installed or maybe just do a reinstall.

Hi

The packet vdrsymbols-ttf was not installed, I have installed them and I restart vdr, but wareagle icons keep on missing. Instead of them, a rectangle symbol appears.

Something else to solve the problem?

I do not know, I have that symbols from the beginning of my yaVDR installation. I never though they can uninstall by themselves, just like text2skin did.

seahawk1986 · July 31, 2014 at 12:50 PM

They do not uninstall themselves (I have tested the update behaviour in a normal yaVDR 0.5 stable Machine before) - they are just not a dependency of yavdr-essential anymore. So normally these packages are removed only if "apt-get autoremove" is called (unless you set their installation status to "manual")(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/preci…apt-mark.8.html)
