OTB Tools in QGIS is not activated

[astrid_emde]

When you try to activate the OTB toolbox in QGIS an error occurs as the path to otb is not defined

[astrid_emde]

I found this in the QGIS documentation

• ​https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/processing/3rdParty.html#otb-applications
• OTB application folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/otb/applications/
• OTB Folder /usr/bin

This configuration runs into

2021-04-06T20:13:12     INFO    OTB : OTB provider is activated from '/usr'.
2021-04-06T20:13:12     WARNING    OTB : Cannot find '/usr/share/otb/description/algs.txt'. OTB provider will be disabled

But when I try to find algs.txt via locate algs.txt it is not on the server

QGIS 3.22.7 on ol15 build 93 -- no OTB in Processing menu

I forgot to mention, but there are the following errors in chroot-build.log in beta1.

===============================================================
Starting "install_otb.sh" ...
===============================================================
:
./install_otb.sh: 60: python: not found
./install_otb.sh: 108: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected

Probably, changing python => python3 on line:60 and commenting out fi on line:108 are necessary, but I will check those fix tonight.

Well, I created possible fix PR at here, but note that I haven't checked this changes locally... ​https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/338

The Python bindings were removed in 7.0.0~rc1+dfsg-1~exp1.

/usr/lib/otb/python is no longer provided by any of the binary packages, see the buildlog:

Replying to Bas Couwenberg:

Okay, thanks for the information!

Then I close my PR...

Replying to astrid_emde, @kalxas:

: Here is the section that refers to OTB and QGIS. Screenshot is outdated. ​https://osgeo.github.io/OSGeoLive-doc/en/quickstart/otb_quickstart.html#otb-in-qgis

I think that OTB Quickstart doc update will be still necessary.
