Screen problems, Sheetcam under Linux

Post by AdrianH »

Hello Les wonder if you can help;

Running Sheetcam 6.1.50 under Suse Leap 42.3 64 Bit in case that makes any difference.
I have had a problem with I believe the last few versions that I can not see the check boxes within tabs or see items such as the Simulator speed control.
So it is difficult to determine which rules I have set, etc. the help text that can pop out when over a button is not seen or if there at all is like a goast outline of the text.

I have tried an install on another Linix PC with the same results.

I do not seem to be able to use Wine or/and Mono to run Sheetcam.exe So I am getting a bit stuck.

Can you help, it does not show any error messages so I am a bit lost what to do.

I have had few reports like this. I'll grab a copy of Suse and see if I can replicate it.

Thanks for that Les, hey I will let you team viewer in if that would help.

For the time I now have a Win 7 desktop available, just copying files across takes time.

Thanks for the offer but I'm probably better off installing it here as it will be a lot quicker to run test builds.

Hello Les;

Just wondering if you managed to get a chance to look at this, if there are settings to be changed or if it is await another release?

Cheers

I have been doing some experimenting. Are you using KDE or Gnome? In KDE the problem appears to be that the default 'Breeze' GTK2 theme is really messed up. In the Application menu go to Settings->System settings->Application style->Gnome application style(GTK). Change the GTK2 theme to Raleigh and hit Apply. SheetCam should now work properly.

I'm not sure where the settings are in Gnome. Let me know if you are using Gnome and I'll try to find them.

Les, not sure if you would remember this, but after a 4 year away from sheetcam and any plasma cutting I am trying to return. the problem above under linux has returned, I am now using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which is I believe a Gnome desktop, and again the icons have disappeared when viewing things.

Just wondering if you have seen anything similar?

What version are you using? IfI remember correctly the latest version on the website is using GTK3 which should not have this problem.

Hi Les;
I am running Ubuntu 22.04.1 not that sure what versions they are. Gnome is version 42, so I would assume GTK4. The theme is called Yaru. The drop downs, say the one to select machine type rotary or jet do not show the check boxes. None of them do.

With regards trying to contact you via the forum there is a contact admin on the login page, there was no other option I could find.

I am away from the pc for a few days back Sunday evening, so perhaps from then I can assist more in fault finding?
