[OSM-newbies] WMS in josm not working in Ubuntu 10.4

[Al Haraka]

Jonas,

Have you seen this page on the wiki regarding this package and Ubuntu 10.04?

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/WMSPlugin#gnome-web-photo_for_Fedora_and_Ubuntu

On Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid Linx'

1. Install gnome-web-photo through synaptic (version used 0.8-0ubuntu2)
2. Select gnome-web-photo --mode=photo --format=png {0} /dev/stdout as
the downloader at the bottom of the WMS preferences pane. Then you can
choose the "Yahoo Sat" option from the WMS pull down menu to get the
background to download. You might have to zoom out a bit if data is
not available at the current zoom level.

I assume this is where you got your idea to downgrade from, but there
are parameters you need to set within JOSM on Ubuntu to make sure its
output is correctly piped to stdout (see step 2).

I hope this does not tell you something you already know.  I am sorry
if it does.
