McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hi Bob,
Many thanks for your assistance.
It turns out that I was using the generic open source Ubuntu driver - xserver-xorg-video-nouveau for my Nvidia 1060 card.
I switched over to the proprietary nvidia -510 and now McIDAS-V works fine
Regards Henry

HI there, Have recently upgraded Ubuntu on my machine from 17.04 -> 22.04. and now MCIDAS-V 1.8 is not working properly. It starts up but doesn't display any of the default maps nor display a basic contour map from netCDF data. I had a look at some of the programs in adde/bin and notice that some of...

Hi Jon, thank you for picking up on this.

Hi there, I have script which loads a country and then and then zooms in on an area (defined by a boundingbox) and If necessary changes the size of the display using the command: activeDisplay().setDimensions(0,0, iWidth, IHeight); The problem is that after I have called the above method a few times...

I've checked the xml in the bundle and the maps are not present This happens in interactive mode and script mode. I have checked the xml I just want u...

Hi Jon, I tried the new JOGJ stuff and I still get the same problem. So I guess the problem is further down the software stack - The thing is the server is not to hand - its in Amsterdam When we requested to add a Graphics card - the hosting company made a whole song and dance about it and then even...

Hi Bob,
did you manage to pass the stack log to a programmer ?
