APM Planner 2 ubuntu 20.04 install problem

hosein_gh · February 7, 2021, 8:54am

Hi everyone
today i tried to install APM Planner 2.0.26 on Ubuntu 20.04 but it seems that some dependency has removed from Ubuntu repositories or updated to newer version

for example libssl1.0.0 has updated to libssl1.1 to sole this :

Edit the source list sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to add the following line: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main
Then sudo apt update and sudo apt install libssl1.0.0 .

and libqt5serialport5-dev is removed from main repo and you need to manually install it

You should install bionic version not xenial. It works for me. But now I have a problem receiving mavlink.

Use this version:
https://github.com/ArduPilot/apm_planner/releases/tag/2.0.29-rc1
or this:
https://github.com/ArduPilot/apm_planner/releases/tag/2.0.28-rc1
You will find an appimage there which will work on most Linux systems.

hello !I installed bionic version but i have a problem in APMplanner, i use ubuntu 18.04 and this version of apm planner "apm_planner_2.0.26_bionic64.deb"This is my ‘install firmware’ screen which is blank in both disconnected & connected state (I’m trying to configure my pixhawk1 for the first time)

Hi
Run from terminal and send event logs from terminal to see what’s happening

@Arne-W i tried installing both versions of apm planne in ubuntu 18.04:
in 2.0.28 : I encountered a problem in 'install firmware ’ screen which is blank in both disconnected & connected state (I’m trying to configure my pixhawk1 for the first time)

in 2.0.29: i have a problem to install firmware I load ardurover but when I connect the card there is the copter which appeared

Any idea will help, thanks.

hosein_gh · May 12, 2021, 4:22pm

In your logs apm planner was downloaded firmware list but i don’t know why its couldn’t show firmwares

You can test latest github commit to see that this problem is solved or not

Also you can use mission planner on linux with mono

islem_hammami · May 12, 2021, 4:32pm

@hosein_gh I could not install it either it displays other problems
can you send me the link for latest github commit and thank you

hosein_gh · May 12, 2021, 4:46pm

You jeed to clone the source code and compile it on your system
