Linux OpenSUSE Dongle not operational

[dominig]

I have created a key for my test Dongle.
I have activated a chart set associated to that Dongle key
I downloaded and unzipped the charts set manually on my system.
I add the new chart dir in OpenCPN
I get a rejection error (see screenshoot).
Do not get much as debug :

• charts are unzip in command line to be 100% sure.
• dongle is reported by journalctrl
• dongle is reported detected in opencpn.log (see log extract below).

Following the error message the system scans the charts one by one and it takes a lot of time (~1h) but still does not provide any valid charts if you let it run to the end.

USB dongle can read but not be written. Is rw privilege required for OpenCPN ?

Dominig...
Looks to me as though one chart loaded OK (...1375). Then the senc server began having trouble on ...1475.
Please try to make a directory with exactly one chart (...1375), and try to add that one.

Dave,
that is correct assuming that chart are added by alphabetic order. I use 'Full DB rebuild" and "Prepare Oesenc Charts" options and do an OC restart for each test.
a) If I add the ...0475 alone, it works fine, I get the license Ack request and it is included in OC
b) If I load (after full OC restart) adding ....1375 will not show the license and it will not be included. Log file is not showing that no action have been taken by oesenc plugin, like if my second chart addition had not been done.

After having done that , I have tried with the full chart set directory once more, and this time it worked.
I do not understand why :

• chart set files has not changed or move position
• I followed the same the same as before.
  This is annoying, as debugging in such condition is far from simple.
  ** What do I notice

---

When it did NOT work for a full chart set, I was requested to acknowledge the o-chart license.
Then only the first file of chart set would be added.
When it works.
Now I am not proposed the license any-more even if I request a full DB request.

Could it be, that when the license request is proposed to the user, the code gets out of sync and assume no license ack for the following charts files ?
