Axis Modifications

This is 2 different systems.. My laptop which I have been running for months with jessie/mate - and a fresh install of jessie running cinnamon right out of the box (matsuura). I installed cinnamon on my laptop to see if that acted the same and it did. I just tried for grins booting a 3x non-realtime kernel - same deal. It is just odd.

Most probably as Todd noted, an openGL problem. This is especialy true if using newer nvidia graphic cards. Install Blender ( via synaptics or terminal, it is in repos ), start it and if you get a transparent screen with nothing in it, you do have an nvidia card.
Real time kernels do not like nvidia proprietary drivers so install them only if you need sim, otherwise try software rendering. It is docuemnt in wiki.

heh - let me explain.

Axis runs just fine on both systems. (am running rt_preemt and uspace with mesa hardware)

The problem is with gnome/cinnamon when axis is first launched it doesn't show up. It is running - just looks minimized. I can alt-tab to it or click on the task bar to bring it up.

Oh that, well i have never seen that !
From how you explain it, it might have something to do with the window manager in Cinnamon. But i have nothing more. Blank!

I am running Axis 2.7.8.

I found the axis.tcl located in
/usr/share/axis/tcl/
I've made some modifications to it....I'd like to change the source...

Where can I find the axis.py?

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I'm not a computer programmer but I like to try to modify things. I managed to get the axis.tcl file to zoom in the jog buttons, but I find it hard to figure out where to change the values.
Since all the original Axis GUI is all right, and since the machine controls the whole thing with external buttons, I'd like to eliminate what's missing.
Is there anyone who can explain how to intervene?
Is there any IDE that interprets the code so you can grab it graphically?
Thank you for your suggestions.
