Re: Need some help with predict

It is not enough to set the permissions on /root/.predict. I assume that you run Predict as an 'ordinary' user and in that case you will also have to give that user access permissions on /root (chmod o+x /root). I don't like this, since it is a security risk.
What I have done is this: I setup Predict to run under my ordinary user account, meaning that the .predict directory will be /home/bent/.predict. I sometimes also run predict as root and in order not to have two sets of predict data, I create links in /root/.predict to /home/bent/.predict, e.g.: ln -s /home/bent/.predict/predict.qth /root/.predict/predict.qth.
It is almost like it is having trouble writting or reading and bombing out
Ideas ?
I hope this helps.

If you run the standard predict and want to track more than 22 satellites thats something you'll have to get used to. On my version of predict the method of selecting satellites is different and allows the 22 satellite limit to be removed. There is a limit of 250 on my version but before setting that I had the program running with well over 1000 satellites at once. The only problem with that was you couldn't see more than around 200 in the multi-track display before the font size got too small to read. I tend to let it run with around 50-60 at the moment.
