Hello,
Having fixed my main problem issue of
getting Chimera to run on a Virtual Box (see my previous
email), I’ve got two quick questions which may or may not be
as a result of running Chimera on a Virtual Box:
-
When I have a structure open, I am
unable to view any of the menus – when I click on a menu
title, I can just see that the menus do open, but are below
/ behind the black canvas background (the closest analogy I
can think of is that the z-index, the terminology used in
CSS/HTML for determining which objects appear infront of
other ones) appears to be incorrect
-
In Ubuntu (my virtual OS), when I
try and fetch a structure from the EMDB, I get an error
message that “Error fetching EMDB 1048: [Errno ftp error]
proxy support for ftp protocol currently not implemented” -
although I assume that this is normal behaviour when trying
to download files across a proxy?
o
However, in Windows (my host OS) I
get a different error when trying to fetch the same
structure:
error: [Errno
10061] No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it
File
"C:\Program Files\Chimera 1.7\bin\lib\socket.py", line 571, in
create_connection
raise err
See reply log
for Python traceback.
o
When I use the “Check for updates”
button in the Ubuntu version, it gives me a message that I
am running chimera candidate 1.7, and that there is a newer
version available, but when I click the same button in
Windows, I get an error: “Unable to contact UCSF Computer
Graphics Lab to check for new version. Either the network
connection is down somewhere in between or an HTTP proxy
needs to be configured with the Web Access preference.” –
although I do have the proxy server set in Network Places.
Although these are relatively minor bugs, I
thought you might like to be made aware of them (if you
weren’t already!), or that you might know how I could fix
them, if they are problems to do with my setup!
Cheers,
Chris
