WeatherMap label issues after Ubuntu 24/php8.3 update

Plugins
1

Hello Everyone,

I have a strange one after updating my librenms server. My WeatherMap labels become squished the more they are rotated towards vertical. I have attached a screenshot of the issue. I’m guessing it has to do with one of the dependencies and it’s updated version.

I am using a truetype font option in the MapStyle since it is the only type that supports rotation and it was working prior to the upgrade. I suspect it’s to do with the php8.3-gd lib. I’ll continue to refine my Google Foo but I haven’t found anything yet.

# That's All Folks!

I ran into this issue today on a Cacti server and came across your post.

After fixing the issue myself, I figured I could offer you, and anyone else who runs into this, my resolution.

libraqm0 is the culprit. Downgrade to version 0.7.0 from Jammy (0.7.0-4 : libraqm0 : amd64 : Jammy (22.04) : Ubuntu) and hold it via apt to prevent it from reupgrading to the broken release.

The php-gd and libgd guys seem to be aware and it seems that Debian just didn’t include the right combination of releases to not run into this.

didn’t know abous this issue, but (as ancient weathermap user), I would say that the current custom map built-in in librenms are a good alternative to Network WeatherMap;
I still use WeatherMap on some environment (and from the screenshot you attached, your may be one of this case), but I suggest to evaluate even librenms Custom Map, as they are great for many simpler situations. :wink:

Thanks for pointing out the new Custom maps feature. Unfortunately I don’t say up to date on changes the libre unless they affect my monitoring display. I’ve redrawn my weathermap and the devs have done a great job on the interface so far.
