About calling the release “Moore”
Following the tradition to pay tribute to old heroes who have passed away this release is named after Gary Moore. I used to listen to Thin Lizzy and from there I discovered Moore. Somewhere in a box somewhere I have a shaped picture 12″ vinyl of Shapes of things. This song is written by Yardbirds member so I discovered them through Moore ….
I just found xnee 3.09 this morning after trying out various prior versions unsuccessfully on Ubuntu Maverick. For my purposes cnee works wondrously well although sometimes it tends to create some effects e.g. I am unable to open directories on my desktop. That could be due to experimentation. Incidentally I am still trying to get gnee to work?
Excellent work and greatly appreciated.
Thanks .. I am not sure what you mean with being unable to open directories. How do you try to open them? Has Xnee in any way changed the permissions of the direrctories? …
Hi Henrik,
I finally got a chance to retest 3.0.6, but it still breaks on Ubuntu 10.10. So I built 3.0.9 and it runs great! See my responses to your comment on my blog post: http://sectio-aurea.blogspot.com/2010/08/building-xnee-306-on-ubuntu-lucid-1004.html
Thanks for testing it…
I am using a std Ubuntu install and have no problem with F5 as stop key. When using F12 instead Xnee warns:
Error number: 24
Error: Bad grab data
Solution: You have requested to grab the same key more than once or one already grabbed
So cnee should not go down with a segfault if (trying to) grabbing an already grabbed key.
again, thanks 🙂
Cool. I definitely wasn’t seeing any segfaults with Maverick/xnee 3.09. I’ll check this functionality out again now that I’m running KDE on 11.04. Thanks for the update!
