This really threw me off at first as well, but I found out how to make it work. To convert between bases, you now have to add one of the following after the value:
* Binary: " in bin" * Octal: " in oct" * Decimal: " in dec" * Hex: " in hex" For example, to convert 80 from hexadecimal to binary: 1. Open calculator 2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu 3. Switch to Hexadecimal input 4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold) 5. Enter " in bin" (without the quotes) after the number and press enter 6. The display should show 10000000₂ I preferred the way it used to work, since it is now much slower and less intuitive. With the older version, I could enter the number I wanted to convert, press enter, and use CTRL-[BDOH] to show it in the new base. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166654 Title: Calculator does not convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal in Raring 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calculator/+bug/1166654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
