I recently changed Linux distros from CentOS (Red Hat derivative) to
Ubuntu 11.04. I haven't been on the air lately because the December blizzards took down my antenna so I didn't notice that the K3 Utility has problems when running on this distro using the "Classic" desktop. The problem is that I can't click on buttons and get a response. When I reset my desktop to the new, but awful, "Unity" desktop K3Util runs properly. Does anyone know of a workaround besides logging off, resetting the desktop and then logging back on (only to have to reverse the procedure to get back to the superior Classic desktop)? Any help would be appreciated! -- 73 de Dick, ka1oz Elecraft K3/100 GAP Titan-DX Antenna ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
Hi Dick,
The problem is with the new GTK+ library that installs with all the variants of Ubuntu 11.04 (ie Kubuntu, etc). I'm working on an updated version of the K3 Utility that will address this problem. But until a new release of the utility is available, a work around is to click slightly *above* the buttons - they should activate if clicked just a hair above the button.
