• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

GRLevel3 on Linux!

So I just got my new Lenovo ThinkPad T61 and I'm looking to finally move away from Windows. I'm now running Xubuntu 8.04, this is just Ubuntu running the XFCE window manager. Two of the key things keeping to the OS was my music production software and GRLevel3.

I am happy to announce that with the latest version of WINE I am able to run GRL3 without any major issues! I do have to force 16-bit smoothing to get that and it seems settings are not getting saved, but other than that everything is running just fine.

My next attempt is going to be WeatherScope so I can build my regional composites and then the transition will be complete!
 
This is good news! I had tried this a while back with Gutsy and WINE but ran into quite a few issues that I didn't feel like working on at the time. Perhaps it's time for another look..
 
Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 with GRLevel 3

If the information I read is correct, running GRL3 on Linux should be great.
Does anyone know if it has to be on Xubuntu, or Ubuntu?

I busted on version 7.10 and could not get WINE to run it.

Would appreciate any info on details!!
 
The only difference between the two versions is the window manager that's used. You should have no issue with Ubuntu, or Kubuntu for that matter. There still exists the issue of not being able to save your settings and I'm not yet sure whether they're kept in the registry or in 'ini' files. The goal is to simply recreate them from my Windows version and hope they stick. Feel free to delve deeper so we can find out how to get it all working.

I do still have XP installed with the softwares so I can use GRL3 with the full smoothing and GPS but that's only for chase days.
