Axis Modifications

HI Andy,

I am studying the axis.py file and I made modifications to it but I have an acess privilege problem and Debian won't let me update it

Do you know how I can set the usr/bin to read and write, or better, how come I am not the admin because I am definitely the owner of the system The owner of the usr folder is set to root(root) according to the File Manager/Properties.

Cheers,
Francisco

You need to open the editor with admin privileges.

So, in a terminal, use "sudo gedit" or "sudo mousepad" (or, depending on taste, sudo vi, sudo nano etc)

If you have already made the changes, then save the axis.py somewhere in your own folder, then move it to the required location (don't type the ellipses. of course, those are placeholders for the actual paths on your machine)

With LinuxCNC 2.7.4 (Debian Wheezy), the above maximize code was an improvement, but didn't fully maximize the Axis screen, which was shifted down and to the right.

I had better luck with the following, where tb_h is the height of the window manager's toolbar. But this also didn't actually maximize Axis like the maximize button does.


The following seems to work well. It makes Axis fullscreen, which also hides the window manager's toolbar (less distraction and more space for Axis). While this may prevent getting back to the toolbar without closing axis, if a terminal is left open, and sessions are saved, alt-tab will get you back. There's probably some other shortcut as well.


Full disclaimer: I know nothing about Tk... this is just what seemed to work well for me. Hope others find it useful.

Recent python/tkinter may report maxgeo as a tuple

I am having an odd issue related to (ti seems) jessie and Gome/cinnamon.

Axis opens minimized it seems - or at least you cannot see it. It shows up in the task bar and you can alt-tab to it. (or click on the task bar )

I have tried all the above. It effects the size of axis - but axis still isn't visible until you click on the task bar or alt-tab to it.

Couple of things
-axis seems to be the only gui that shows this behavior.
-I also have mate installed - axis opens normally.

Not sure, maybe an OpenGL problem.

I have LMDE with the Cinnamon desktop installed in a VM and Linuxcnc/Axis is not having those problems for me.

However I have done a few RIP installs of Linuxcnc from source on that VM, so it has had a lot of dependency stuff installed to it that a fresh install from binaries probably wouldn't have..
