1. When running from CD getting a permission denied error probably means that your cdrom device does not allow execution of binaries. Try adding exec as an option to your /mnt/cdrom in fstab Or mount /mnt/cdrom user,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom,exec 0 0 2. If the installed version does not seem to work and you choose to use a copy of java already found on your computer then you might not have the correct version of java installed. Use the command java -version You may need to include the full path to the java executable. In order for Web(Tide/Drogue) to work you need at least java 1.4. If you have something different try uninstalling and reinstalling Web(Tide/Drogue) this time using the included java VM. 3. If using the Help-->Web(Tide/Drogue) menu item and using the "Get Elevation/Current/Drogue Prediction" buttons do not start up a copy of Mozilla then your version of Mozilla may not be where I think it is. You may Edit the file found in the "data/" directory called "Web(Tide/Drogue)_linux.properties". There should be a line similar to openmap.WebBrowser=/usr/bin/mozilla Change this location to the location of your Mozilla or your favourite WebBrowser. 4. If for some reason you do not have a writable /tmp directory then you should get the system administrator to add a /tmp directory and make sure it is writable by everyone. For now some of the code assumes that it will be able to write to a directory called /tmp/ 5. Sometimes when starting the program the button panel on the right-hand side of the application does not appear. This will fix itself the first time the map view refreshes. I do not know why the panel is missing at startup sometimes, but for now this is being considered a low priority bug since all the actions found in the button panel can still be accessed through the menu bar. 6. If you install Web(Tide/Drogue) using the separate data bundles or you add or update a mesh. Web(Tide/Drogue) will change the default starting mesh to be the last one installed. If you would like to change which mesh you start in then you may edit the file found in the "data/" directory called "Web(Tide/Drogue)_linux.properties". There should be a line similar to Mesh=cg1 Change this mesh name to equal the mesh code you would like to start in. Use the mesh directory names as the mesh codes.
