tigger on wsl #145

Open landmanbester opened 2 years ago

I am running wslg under windows 11 and I have some issues with how the app is positioned on the screen. Figure this must be wsl related. Help would be appreciated

Please try the following:

Using VcXSrv add the following parameters when launching:

-ac -terminate -lesspointer -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl -dpi auto

Then in Ubuntu set the xserver display in ~/.bashrc

export DISPLAY=$(ip route | awk '{print $3; exit}'):0
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
export XCURSOR_SIZE=16

Then install the xcb dependencies:

sudo apt-get install '^libxcb.*-dev' libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxi-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev

sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11-dev

Thanks @razman786. Opening a .fits file directly from the command line works as expected. The only remaining issue is that, if I launch tigger without any arguments and then load up an image the window jumps off the screen for me. Otherwise it's all running smoothly. Running master branch in a python3.8 venv

Note to self: Check when using 'load image' menu the screen re-centre coords after the new QWT plot is loaded.
