I agree with Dan. Save stuff as a .pdf. I am still developing my JMRI OperationsPro skills for our club, so make sure all our trains "work" by repeatedly building the train and saving each Build Repor

Not sure if this necessarily would make any difference. It won't persist across reboots or USB disconnects. Modern Linuxes use a ramdisk for the /dev file system. The device files are populated by ude

Back when JMRI was first being written, 25 years ago, dot-prefix files and directories in the user home directory was the standard place to put application-specific preferences on Linux. That’s still

While Steve's image is an excellent starting point, it's not the only way to do it. Some of the OP's questions on Java and file locations would still be valid even if he used Steve's image. Since the

Bob, et al, The new development build works. I can see and assign the USB linked names. This makes running the layout and doing development soooo much nicer. Thanks to all, particularly for the fast t

Thanks for posting the solution.

Dave, Thanks for all your help. I need to learn how to create a file in Linux now! In the meantime I have changed my plans so that I am now using the Linux laptop with a SPROG instead of the Hornby El

TIm, You are getting the same Java that all of the other sources provide. The main differences are that the "apt install" sets up the standard directory structures that the JMRI scripts are looking fo

Dave, You are EXACTLY correct!!! I now have my very successful DecoderPro "launcher". I moved my DecoderPro.desktop file back into /home/timk/.local/share/applications folder and the launcher (windows

Tim, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with OpenJDK and JMRI 5.0 with no problems noticed. The only reason it's not Ubuntu 22.04 is that doing that upgrade hasn't been high enough priority for me. ~$ lsb_relea

Ulrich, I can't answer the Linux aspects of your questions as I decided long ago that Linux wasn't for me. But simply as a data point, and not to start any OS wars, I run JMRI on a home-built PC that

Got DecoderPro going and working on the desktop icon. Many thanks Ted Sent from Mail for Windows

I solved this by connecting to the headless Rasbperry Pi via VNC and using Winscp to transfer the files. Previously I used a USB key formatted Fat32. Somehow corruption was introduced to the text file
