[Server-devel] [XSCE] CentOS install - i3 NUC - Code to Inspire

[Tim Moody]

Actually now I see more.  They were so slow loading I thought the higher levels didn't exist.

 

Still not getting anything above 10 or 11 depending on how you count.  At some of the lower levels there are tiles missing.

What I see

 

L3 has its own style.  There is nothing above L7.

Nick, et. al. 

Would love some feedback on the tiles. 
http://home.braddock.com:28112/osm/slippymap.html

The scheme I've broadly followed is this:

Zoom <= 6

Natural earth data overlaid with text labels

Zoom between 7 and 10

OSMBright as a base layer + hillshade + slopeshade + color-relief. DEM data is SRTM 15 arc-sec resolution.

Zoom >= 11

OSMBright + hillshade + contours. DEM data is 1 arc-sec resolution

Would LOVE feedback, critiques on the design styling and suggestions to improve it. For example:

1. Contours at zoom level 11 is maybe a bit overdone, can be included from zoom 12 or 13 onwards. 

2. Between zoom 7 and 10, the tiles look faded. This is primarily due to the hillshade, which is gray in color. Now if this is really a problem, I could make this situation slightly better.

3. Zoom level 10 (the last level with the crazy colors) has too much faded out elevation, and in the next level the elevation features are much sharper. Is this a problem?

4. The colors of the contours is blue. Maybe there is a better color out there? I suck at design and colors generally!

In terms of size, the tiles with elevation data are roughly double the size without elevation data.

 

Thanks everyone for being a great help during this process. :-)

Back at the office today.  My NUC box has CentOS installed and a version of XSCE, depending on what was in the image... if it's a little out of date should I pull down the latest XSCE commits and reinstall, or what?

 

OSM tiles looking good. Anish, I like that you included terrain! awesome

Nick,

1) How's your NUC working out?  Understanding you've been swamped at the Unicode Conf :)

2) Separately can you look over the new OpenStreetMap tiles Anish has generated at http://home.braddock.com:28112/osm/slippymap.html and provide us some feedback on these tiles look+feel at different zoom levels?

PS Tiles are still generating, as Anish moves beyond Level 11 towards 12/onwards, so once there are enough Anish will publish a .tar

not sure what I did differently on the 2nd round

Good news: appears in boot menu as a bootable disk.  I re-ran the USB install to look for warnings:

In grub install step, I missed the first part but eventually get:

Usage: basename FILE [SUFFIX]

Strip directory path and .SUFFIX from FILE

 

tee: /mnt/sdb2/install.2096.log: I/O error

root at xsce:~#

 

Both install logs are empty

The CentOS installer ran for a time from the USB, then I was in a shell. I turned the device off, unplugged the USB, and get this on boot from hard drive.

 

GRUB loading

Welcome to GRUB!

error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found

Entering rescue mode...

In the prompt I ran ls:

grub rescue > ls

(hd0) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1)

 

I'll be taking the box to the Unicode Conference without a monitor, so I won't be able to make much progress in the next couple days. But I'm happy to read a bunch of resources if you have them.

no, it won't.  if you're using a mac with mac os x to write the image,
there are some more special commands to consider.

and it is probably /dev/rdisk4, and you don't want to get the wrong one.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
gives a few examples.
