blank screen on ubuntu 12.04 #66

Closed srepmub closed 12 years ago

srepmub commented 12 years ago

kidsruby looks awesome, thanks so much for sharing!

unfortunately I'm getting a blank window though, without a menu or anything, after following the ubuntu instructions.

ubuntu 12.04 ruby 1.9.3p0 kidsruby 87d003a8662a91a9ba68a23e00fba71c4e3973ed

I tried one of these to check the Qt bindings work, and it works: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/qtrubytutorial/introduction/

please let me know if I can help debug this somehow.

hmm, well I do get a 'reload' button on right-clicking..

Hi @srepmub,

Thanks for trying out KidsRuby!

I don't know that the app has been tested with that environment combination yet, but I will take a look and see what I can come up with.

It works for me on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ruby-1.9.2p125.

I do occasionally see screens (in many different programs) that are completely blank. I believe it is one of many little glitches with 12.04. un-maximising the screen always causes a refresh so that the problem goes away. This could conceivably be that.

I decided to try again today after the 12.04 release, and the program is now usable. except there seems to be something wrong with the layout, causing some ugly glitches. the 'save open clear run' buttons appear in the top of the editor, instead of below it.. let me try something other than unity here..

same problem using xfce.. git pull makes it work perfectly though. guess we can close this then. thanks for the reactions!
