I am testing the alpha version of APM Planner 2.0 running natively on Ubuntu Linux 12.04. It runs much smoother and most functions are working.

Hello,
I have compiled in openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 (running in a virtual machine).
I have had to install the followings packages.
libphonon4
phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10
phonon-devel
libqt4-devel
qt-creator
libSDL-1_2-0
libSDL-devel
alsa-devel
flite
flite-devel
OpenSceneGraph
libOpenSceneGraph-devel
libOpenSceneGraph80
I haven't could test with the APM because I haven't any here.
Here, there are an image.
So, if i understand correctly.
This isn't a port of Mission Planner from Michael Oborne.
It 's a makeup of QGroundControl to have the look and feel of Mission Planner, but QGroundControl works without problem in GNU/Linux (I have tested it in openSuse).
Why not to make Mission Planner to work in GNU/Linux natively without Mono?
Just to be clear, this is APM Planner developed by the DIY Drones dev team (it's a branch of QGroundControl and a collaboration with the ETH team). It's in beta for OS X, Linux and Windows, and will be released to the public in the next week. I think Ralph was just saying he was testing it, not claiming to be the developer.
Have the "cheap four cores-2Gb ram android tablets" gotten down to US$35 yet? 8-)
Why bother with a contraption based on an underpowered raspberry pi? Just get yourself a cheap four cores-2Gb ram android tablet and use andropilot or droidplanner. It even supports Bluetooth to avoid cables❗
Running native Linux opens up the possibility of running it on the Pi. I've tried to run MP on the Pi, under mono, and it looks like it would take a rebuild of the source with the mono compiler.
Another similar program, QGroundControl, has been run on the Pi, but it takes about 5 minutes to get cranked up each time. Once it starts, then it limps along. See http://tinyurl.com/lrdexer .
Ralph's work on Ubuntu will open up MP to run on more than Windoze.
The new MP is C++/QT, there is actually already a download available for OSX: http://qgroundcontrol.org/downloads
Are you going to port to MacOSX too?
Can we look forward to Raspberry Pi support???? That would make a very portable GCS
are you using it with ardupilot, pixhawk or PX4 ?
Best
