Re: [Emc-developers] quirks of ngcgui
I've always ran ngcgui as a tab in Axis and never tried to run it stand alone. Maybe it needs a main window as a container.

Re: [Emc-developers] quirks of ngcgui [update]
Hi, I tried ngcgui with option "--vert" but then the window is resizable vertical only and horizontally fixed to a with of about 4mm. The width is 2 borders and a breath of nothing from the client area. Then I considered myself as astute and tried both variants, but only the latter is taken :( A start of pyngcgui shows what every py/glade/vcp- app shows: == snip = Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/bin/pyngcgui", line 2, in import pyngcgui File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/lib/python/pyngcgui.py", line 72, in from gladevcp import hal_actions File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/lib/python/gladevcp/__init__.py", line 1, in from .hal_pythonplugin import * File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/lib/python/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py", line 42, in from .hal_sourceview import * File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/lib/python/gladevcp/hal_sourceview.py", line 27, in import gtksourceview2 as gtksourceview ImportError: No module named gtksourceview2 == snap = I run out of ideas. cheers Reinhard ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
