Hi Dustin, Thanks for sending that. Question - where did you get the awips2-cave rpm? Typically, when installing CAVE via the awips2.repo file there are more rpms needed than just the awips2-cave rpm. There are specific AWIPS2 python and java modules that also need to be installed. I did try converting all 20 of those rpms over to debian and installing and I will say that corrected your problems 2 and 3 (the new map, and panning turned on automatically). In general the first time running CAVE on any OS it takes a bit to connect. The general functionality of most products display correctly using this way, however still there are some issues with the python rpms that cause a few products not to load (ex. METAR Station Plots).
