Re: How to run the IDE with QT

I have discovered that if I run the Gambas IDE with QT5 it solves the problem of not being able to enter text into the Group 'Drop Down List'. I have tried to sort this problem by changing themes and font sizes, with no joy. My question is what is the terminal command that will do this? In terminal...

Re: Weird problem with editing code from IDE

Hmm. Well I'd try making sure the themes and font sizes match. Too small font or an unfamiliar theme can cause gambas problems. I was thinking about that as well last night, but turns out themes and all are the same on the two systems. For the OS I didn't change themes, fonts or such after install,...

Re: Weird problem with editing code from IDE

odd, do both systems have same user id? possibly a file ownership issue as it appears to be read-only. can you chown the project files? That was one of the first things I checked and all is okay there. If I go with my file browser to the project source folder I can with a regular text editor open a...

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux

I haven't checked for BIOS update.
Don't have the system here, but at a friends.
I'll try checking that when I'm at his place.

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux

Next I tried the BruceSteers option Booted in Windows, started Rufus and wrote iso to USB: Used the options: - Partition scheme: MBR - Target system: BIOS (or UEFI-CSM) - File system: FAT32 (Default) - Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default) I think it needs to be GPT not MBR I only have the MBR option ...

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook issues installing Linux

Well I am sitting in front of one of those Lenovo Thinkbooks right now. Its a few months old and I recall that I had to perform some incantations before it would shut up and install linux from a USB. Seriously IIRC. You have to both disable secure boot, enable USB boot and format the total, entire ...

Disabled secure boot This in theory should allow me to boot from USB, but the boot menu only shows the harddrive with Windows, no USB. No boot from U...
