[Bug 647466] Re: gcalctool window is not resizable
I've upgraded to maverick, and that for the above reasons, and also because the old version of gcalctool reads from the numeric keypad without you having to have numlock on, have downgraded to the lucid version as described above. For anyone else who has done (or is doing this) I've found that, after installation, running echo "gcalctool hold" | dpkg --set-selections as root solves the problem of automatic updates trying to re-'upgrade' it back to the more modern, but less functional version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647466 Title: gcalctool window is not resizable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 647466] Re: gcalctool window is not resizable
Yes, as a workaround for this issue, you can downgrade to 5.28.2. Lucid Lynx provides a package for that version, which can be installed in Maverick. These instructions assume you're using the Ubuntu Software Center. First, uninstall the current package version. In the Ubuntu Software Center, search for "gcalctool". One result, called "Calculator", will come up. Click Remove. Assume you're using regular Ubuntu (rather than Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.), you will be asked to uninstall the ubuntu- desktop package. You must click "Remove Anyway" to uninstall gcalctool (since gcalctool is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop). In the future, when the latest version of gcalctool again meets your needs, you should reinstall ubuntu-desktop. Once the removal operation completes, get this package if your architecture is i386: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb Or this package if your architecture is amd64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (These links can be found manually, if you wish, by going to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool and expanding "5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2" under "The Lucid Lynx (supported)".) Open it in the Ubuntu Software Center. It will say "Please install 'Gcalctool' via your normal software channels. Only install this file if you trust the origin." Click Install. Gcalctool 5.28.2 is now installed. Note that you can reinstall ubuntu- desktop now if you wish (since the gcalctool package you just installed fulfills the dependency).

[Bug 647466] Re: gcalctool window is not resizable
Maybe this is a duplicate of this one and not the other way around? Ubuntu 10.10 using gcalctool 5.30.0. Is it possible to roll back to version 5.28.2 from version 5.32.0? I need to be able to resize the window as adding or subtracting many entry's the entry's get lost from sight so it is impossible to check before totalling in version 5.30.0. They just get lost from view. Any ideas?

Returning to triaged since the requested information has been provided. Also I marked bug 665328 as a duplicate of this one, another use case for having the window be re-sizable is to allow long operations to fit on the screen (see attached screenshot in dup report). ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- gcalctool window is not resizable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 647466] Re: gcalctool window is not resizable
When I'm using the calculator on my touchscreen I maximize it. It doesn't look pretty, but at least it's easy to press the buttons. I like your idea of having a "large button" mode. Maybe it could be renamed to "touch" mode though. All applications should start preparing for being used with touch, since it's the direction we seem to be going in. For illustration purposes here is the difference in button sizes of the 2 versions. http://imgur.com/t5RTq.png -- gcalctool window is not resizable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 647466] Re: gcalctool window is not resizable
Thanks for the bug report, could you describe more how you use gcalctool in a touchscreen mode? The buttons are the same size as in any other application, though I suspect the number of buttons makes in hard in a touchscreen environment. There were a number of issues with them being resizable (i.e. changing between modes and keeping them consistent). Did you make gcalctool slightly larger or use it fullscreen when using touch? One thing I have been considering is if there should be a "large button" mode (like the large button calculators that you can buy). This would probably only work in basic mode though as the other modes would be too big. ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- gcalctool window is not resizable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
