Some elements of GUI dialogs not seen in CW 10.3 for PA (QorIQ)

[kanatalimzhanov]

Hello,

It seems to be issue of my host operating system.

I can not see some elements of CW dialogs.

Here is two screen shots:

kanat@kanat:~/work/u-boot/CW10.3$ ls *jpg

Reset_Screen_of_CW_10_3__.jpg  Target_properties_screen_of_CW_10_3__.jpg

kanat@kanat:~/work/u-boot/CW10.3$

And my host operating system info:

kanat@kanat:~/work/u-boot/CW10.3$ uname -a

Linux kanat 3.2.0-37-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

kanat@kanat:~/work/u-boot/CW10.3$ lsb_release -d

Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

kanat@kanat:~/work/u-boot/CW10.3$

I have seen same behavior in Demo version of CodeWarrior 10.4.0 for PA.

What can i do to see GUI elements better?

Thanks for help in advance.

Hello,

I installed CW PA 10.3 on my "Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS" system.

The commands I ran in order to install CW were

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

sudo apt-get install bc

./setuplinux

I took these instructions from the 2.12 section in README.txt.

I could see the checkboxes without doing any other changes.

regards,

Catalin

Thanks Yiping Wang and lunminliang.

Thanks, Catalin.

Which desktop you are using? KDE or GNOME ?

I will try this way also

"sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

sudo apt-get install bc

./setuplinux

"

Meantime checked that in GNOME desktop of Ubuntu 12.04  CW 10.3 dialogs shown correct.

Hello,

the "echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" command returns "Unity", which is a graphical shell for the

GNOME desktop environment.

regards,

Catalin

I am using CW10.3.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 and do not have problem. Have you installed those dependancy as in install_deps.sh?

See mine:

freescale@freescale-sdk:~$ uname -a

Linux freescale-sdk 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:08:14 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

freescale@freescale-sdk:~$ lsb_release -d

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

freescale@freescale-sdk:~$

[kanatalimzhanov]

Can not find this file, "install_deps.sh".

In file README.txt no special instructions about Ubuntu

"2.2 Ubuntu 8.04 32bit installation procedure:

   1) Install OS with default settings.

   2) Install CodeWarrior. No dependencies are required.

"

No words about Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04

Can you be so please to post that file (install_deps.sh) here?

[lunminliang]

On my host, the file is right under the CW installation directory.

freescale@freescale-sdk:/opt/Freescale/CodeWarrior_PA_10.3.3$ ls

Cross_Tools  eclipse  install_deps.sh  PA      restore.pl

detect.sh    gnu      jre              remove  uninstall

[kanatalimzhanov]

I think that you have CW 10.3.3 version (and mine 10.3) make a difference.

Mine here:

kanat@kanat:/opt/Freescale/CodeWarrior_PA_10.3$ ls

Cross_Tools  eclipse  gnu  _jvm  PA  _uninst

Maybe here is a way to upgrade from CW 10.300 to 10.3.3 ?

I found a workaround for this little inconvenience:

*) when Target_properties_Dialog or Reset_Dialog appears one may scroll-unscroll cores list (where e500mc-0 ... e500mc-7 listed)

   after this elements of GUI seen much better. Here is a picture.

[yipingwang]

Hello Kanat Alimzhanov,

If the eclipse plugin cannot be displayed correctly on Ubuntu OS, there is a workaround would be helpful for you.

Please change the appearance from System->Preference->Appearance, and select "clearlooks".

Have a great day,
Yiping

I have a try on my Ubuntu

kanat@kanat:~/P4080DS/Uboot$ uname -a

Linux kanat 3.2.0-37-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

kanat@kanat:~/P4080DS/Uboot$ lsb_release -d

Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

kanat@kanat:~/P4080DS/Uboot$

Next steps:

Settings --> System_settings --> Application_appearance --> Style --> Widget_style -->  change from "Oxygen" to "clearlooks".

A lot of changes in appearance of windows but no help to resolve my problem.

README file of CW 10.3  say that CW works on Ubuntu with default settings.

Maybe i should use default desktop system of ubuntu GNOME instead of KDE?

(now i use KDE desktop).

I will try to install GNOME desktop and write here about results.

[lunminliang]

Thanks for sharing.

> I think you need to install from the new installer.

[kanatalimzhanov]

"Have you installed those dependancy as in install_deps.sh?"

I am unsure. Remember that installed something like when start to use QCS (QorIQ Configuration Suite).

I will recheck, and maybe upgrade my Ubuntu.

Thanks.

[lunminliang]

In my impression, when I was installing CodeWarrior, it tells the dependency has already been installed successfully.
