Hi and thanks for the great program.
qtVlm is failing to download the GSHHS file on first run.

I've created a new Raspberry Pi build for my Raspberry Pi2 Model B v1.1
hostname : raspberrypi
OS       : Raspbain GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernal   : Linux 6.12.25-rpt-rpi-v7
Arch     : arm

The PI is connected via Wifi to the internet and downloaded the qtVlm tar file

Running the qtVlm for the first time, it attemps to download the charts as explained in the documentation, however it fails and exits back to the commandline.
There are no errors output to the commandline on exit.
The messages on the commandline at exit are:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to 'tmp/runtime-root'
Starting-up first line

The dialog boxes within qtVlm are as follows:

Charts Loading
Charts are Missing
What do you want to do? - Download.

Internet Error
TLS Initialization failed - OK.


Internet Error
TLS Initialization failed - OK.

Charts Loading
Failed to open GSHHS charts.
Please check your internet connection.
qtVlm will now close. - OK.

I've had qtVlm running successfully on this hardware with an older OS and version of qtVlm
Am I using the correct latest qtVlm version for my hardware and OS?
Thanks for your help.
Gavin.

I played around and was able to load the GSHHS files into the .qtVlm/maps folder. On restarting qtVlm the Chart dialog told me the GSHHS were of not the correct version, I pressed Cancel and the program starts with the coast line shown.

In Configuration if I then change the version of the GSHHS to use and restart qtVlm, I tried to Download and get the TLS Initialization failed again.
I re-copied the GSHHS to the maps folder (as above) and set the Configuration to the version of my GSHHS files (see GSHHS README) and no longer get the Charts Dialog at startup.

So, I have a work around, maybe the GSHHS server is down or qtVlm is not connecting correctly. I've can't test this....

I'm now installing VisitMyHarbour charts....

I'd still like to know if the GSHHS server connection is working OK or not?

Thanks, Gav.

If you can reproduce the issue on an initialised qtVlm, could you:
- activate the logs (in qtVlm advanced parameters)
- reproduce the problem
- generate the "support file" from the Help menu
- send us (support@meltemus.com) the zip file
