Category: GUI - AXIS Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: CNCdreamer (cncdreamer) Assigned to: Chris Radek (cradek) Summary: vim invoked in two ini files but it's /usr/bin/vi Initial Comment: This came up while I was looking into the problem with blank lines in tool table files. Two of the sim/axis ini files, profile_axis.ini and random_tc.ini, declare vim as the editor (e.g., "EDITOR = xterm -e vim" and "TOOL_EDITOR = xterm -e vim") but the distribution installs vim as /usr/bin/vi (at least as of the linuxcnc livecd 2.5.0). If a hapless user tries to edit the tool table via the pulldown file menu in axis he gets a rude popup window with the line "xterm: Can't execvp vim: no such file or directory". Noobies wouldn't know how to respond. possible fixes: 1) change the ini files to invoke vi or gedit or tooledit as the case may be, or 2) create a symbolic link from /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/vi in the distribution Regards, Kent PS - this time I won't clutter the tracker in an attempt to change this entry from the default priority 5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=106744&aid=3553774&group_id=6744 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
