Dear All, I'm currently using Oxygen 7.2 under Linux specifically, Ubuntu 6.06. Unfortunately I can't create a menu item, or a launcher on the desktop, that will start Oxygen correctly. For those unfamiliar with Ubuntu it uses Gnome as window manager by default. I can create the menu item, or launcher, and can confirm all of the paths are correct. Oxygen appears to start, I can see a process start and HDD activity, however no window is displayed and the process quickly stops. If I launch oxygen via a terminal window, inside gnome, everything works as expected. Does anyone have any thoughts? With thanks. -Corey -- Corey Wallis RUBRIC Technical Officer University of Southern Queensland http://www.rubric.edu.au http://techxplorer.wordpress.com

For what its worth, here is ~/Desktop/Oxygen.desktop from a Sun Java Desktop System (also based on Gnome) (Solaris 10): [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Exec=/home/rbm49/oxygen/oxygen.sh TryExec= Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/blueprint-gnome-mime-application-java.png X-GNOME-DocPath= Terminal=false Name=Oxygen GenericName=Oxygen Comment=Oxygen Best, Richard -- Richard MAHONEY | internet: http://indica-et-buddhica.org Littledene | telephone/telefax (man.): +64 3 312 1699 Bay Road | cellular: +64 27 482 9986 OXFORD, NZ | e-mail: r.mahoney@indica-et-buddhica.org

While we don't make any promises that it will necessarily always be there, the TEI packages up a copy of oxygen as a debian package. Add: deb http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb binary/ in debian (or Ubuntu). Then "apt-get update" and "apt-get install tei-oxygen"
