Futher to what Richard said, if you want to convert a number from hex to decimal and then do some other operations in decimal then you have to do this:
1. Open calculator 2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu 3. Switch to Hexadecimal input 4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold) 5. Enter " in decimal" (without the quotes) after the number and press enter 6. The display should show 128₁₀ 7. Select the number and Ctrl-C to copy it. 8 Switch the Decimal input (this will clear the number which is why we just copied it) 9 Ctrl-V to paste the number in 10 Do your ops in decimal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-calculator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166654 Title: Calculator does not convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal in Raring 13.04 Status in “gnome-calculator” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've been attempting to use the calculator in Raring but it appears to be broken when in Programming mode and made to convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal. Older versions of Ubuntu would convert when you type your number in a particular format, say binary, and then select another number format from the dropdown, say hexadecimal, and it would appear. In Raring this doesn't happen and it simply clears the screen. If you then select back to the original number format, say binary -> hex -> binary, then it comes up with a rubbish value, not the original. To replicate: 1. Open calculator 2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu 3. Switch to Hexadecimal input 4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold) 5. Switch it to hexadecimal from the dropdown. Expected output: 10000000 Actual ouput: The input screen is cleared This appears to do it for all conversions.
