Re: [Chimera-users] Chimera on Ubuntu mounted on MAC using VMware Fusion

Hi Tom You are correct! The color dialog does appear as you mentioned! In addition - While using Chimera- the display window keeps flickering when I move the density map/pdb files. What can be a possible remedy to solve the problem?

If you show the Surface Color dialog (Tools / Volume / Surface Color) and click on one of its color buttons, does the color dialog appear? Tom Anindito Sen wrote:
Dear All
This may be a bit unusual problem- I am using Chimera (from Daily build) on Ubuntu mounted on my MAC using VMware Fusion (reason- some software packages that run only on LINUX and not on a MAC). The problem is - when I try to get the color panel by clicking on the color tab on the volume viewer- it does not appear. I am not sure if any of you have encountered such problem.
Thanks Andy

Hi Andy, Your flickering display again sounds like a problem with your virtual linux machine, specifically its graphics driver, not a problem that can be solved within Chimera. I wonder if your color dialog not appearing is because it is hidden behind another dialog. When you press the color button Chimera asks to raise the color dialog so it is visible, but I saw last week a linux system where that did not happen. That would be a problem with the window manager or perhaps the Tk window toolkit. It correctly raises the color dialog on the Mac Aqua version of Chimera. Tom Anindito Sen wrote:
