Hi Apologies if this problem has been dealt with elsewhere - I scanned the archives but couldn't see anything that looked similar.
I'm about to use Coot as part of a graduate teaching exercise. Version 0.52 starts ok, and can load co-ords and maps, but whenever one clicks, the screen gets corrupted - see attached image. You can get a normal view back by rotating the molecule, but the whole user experience is a pretty frustrating one, as it is pretty much impossible to click on anything. The fault seems to be hardware and Coot version independent - it manifests in 0.5.2 and also using 0.6-pre-1-revision-1997-binary-Linux-i686-ubuntu-8.04.2, though less dramatically in the latter - just a grey screen rather than the corrupted one. The same thing occurs when using a Dell or an iMac running Ubuntu (don't ask...) So I'm guessing it's a(n) Ubuntu thing. The machine are running the same versrion of EdUbuntu 8.10, details as below. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have a fix? cheers Shaun > cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.27-7-generic (bui...@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) ) #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008
