Hi, everyone!
I recently tried to do a fresh install of AWIPS II on a centOS 6.8 VM within
windows as well as on a fresh standalone centOS 6.8 on a different HD and I
have run into the exact same problems:
* The TEXT WORKSTATION option is completely unavailable. As in, I
have looked under tools and this option is just not there as all. Same with
some radar tools that are in a sub-menu.
* GFE, when selected acts like it wants to run, but, in the VM, after
a splash screen with the default gfeConfig user, it crashes AWIPS to desktop
or hangs. In the standalone centOS, this was instant.
I tried this on centOS7 and the end result was that it would not run at all
AND it deleted yum completely ("yum: command not found")
EDIT: I'm using a 8-core machine with 16 GB of RAM (main OS). The VM same
amount of cores, but, maxxed at 12 GB of RAM.
Thanks!
Dan Trigona.
