Re: [Avogadro-Discuss] cut-n-paste in Avogadro running on Ubuntu

2013-01-20 Thread Geoffrey Hutchison
If we don't hear about crashes or bugs, we can't fix them. I use it on my Mac 
(indeed, the Mac version is built on my desktop) and haven't had crashes, 
except of course on experimental code. :-)

I just tried copy/paste from Avogadro 1.0.3 and 1.1.0 into Aquamacs, and it was 
fine. Does this only occur on one Mac? What version of Emacs are you using?

Hope that helps,
-Geoff

 On mac I have had other problems. The program crashes every time I am trying 
 to paste coordinates into Avogadro or paste them into, say, Emacs. I have 
 tried to remove Avogadro from the Mac and re-installed it. but the problem 
 persists on that machine. I used Avogadro for 1 1/2 year on it until this now 
 happens. Is it a memory allocation problem of some sort?
 ..
 I love Avogadro and use it every day. best program around. It's just that it 
 bugs and crashes...

 Hi!

 Avogadro's cut-n-paste doesn't work for me running on Ubuntu. Yes, you can
 copy a XYZ-file from a terminal window and paste it into Avogadro. However,
 say, you select 3 atoms in Avogadro and copy-n-paste it in the same Avogadro
 window, it keeps pasting what was orginally stored (from the Terminal
 window). Otherwise it seems to work great.

Could you let me know what version of Avogadro and Ubuntu this is on?
I don't use Ubuntu myself, but there are a few people in the office
who do so I could likely take a look. It works fine here on Linux
using Avogadro's master from today (Arch Linux 64 bit). That code has
not changed very much, but I know Ubuntu is probably still on Avogadro
1.0.3 or so.

 I have been using Avogadro for years on Mac OS-X and the program is very
 unstable, that's why I decided to give Ubuntu a go.

 It would be great to hear from someone about this!

We have tried to reduce crashes, and with Avogadro 2 rewrite that is
something I am focusing on - a stable and well tested core. Work is
progressing well there, but it is not ready to replace Avogadro 1 yet.
The copy/paste code has not changed much, and I use that functionality
quite regularly on Linux.

Another point I just remembered about Ubuntu - they tend to break the
Open Babel package up, I have looked at other people's systems where
installing all of the Open Babel packages made several features work
(I think missing data files is one culprit). This may have improved,
if not we should try and get in touch with the Ubuntu developer to get
them to adjust the dependencies of the Avogadro package.

Hi Marcus,
It's:

Distributor ID:Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 12.10
Release:12.10
Codename:quantal


and

Avogadro:

Application 1.03



If you open Avogadro and build a molecule, you can select all (or partially) 
atoms, copy-n-paste it. That works fine. It is when  you copy coordinates from 
a terminal window into Avogadro that is the problem. It works fine to paste 
those coordinates into Avogadro. It's now the problem comes around. Copying and 
pasting in Avogadro now only results in pasting the coordinates copied from the 
Terminal window that is stored in the buffer, clipboard.. oo whatever it's 
called. The list that stores the coordinates doesn't get updated. It's a 
problem that makes me not being able to use Avogadro under Ubuntu.

On mac I have had other problems. The program crashes every time I am trying to 
paste coordinates into Avogadro or paste them into, say, Emacs. I have tried to 
remove Avogadro from the Mac and re-installed it. but the problem persists on 
that machine. I used Avogadro for 1 1/2 year on it until this now happens. Is 
it a memory allocation problem of some sort?
