More Decimal Places in the Default Axis GUI

oKAY i got as fas as opening the file in the terminal but i cannot go to the section to edit the file. I tried it in the file manager but it says unable to open and write. Sorry for being such a noob but i cannot figure it out im reading linux for dummies and that is still over my head.

got a little farther but still denied..... ok so it seems i do not have a root user and password as it defaulted to the cyrut2 user that i created.... im reading on changing root to normal user but like i said this is new to me.


cyrut2@EMC:~$ su i
No passwd entry for user 'i'
cyrut2@EMC:~$ su cyrut2
Password:
cyrut2@EMC:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for cyrut2:
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# gksudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/rs274/glcanon.py
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# gksudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/rs274/glcanon.py
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# gksudo gedit
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# gksudo
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# gedit /usr/share/pyshared/rs274/glcanon.py
bash: gedit: command not found
root@EMC:/home/cyrut2# /usr/share/pyshared/rs274/glcanon.py
bash: /usr/share/pyshared/rs274/glcanon.py: Permission denied

seems that its manually installed so it didnt update im trying everything i can think off and still stuck...Help

You can try a plain "sude gedit" and if that doesn't work "sudo nano".

Nano is a text mode editor. It will take some getting used to, but at least the commands to use are at the bottom.

Have you been able to get this to work? Do you know if you will actually be able to control to that resolution or will it only be an extra decimal on the display?

Thanks for all your great posts.

The display precision is not the precision used by the software. Numbers may have any number of digits, subject to the limitation on line length. Only about seventeen significant figures will be retained, however (enough for all known applications).
