I have recently switched from Windows to linux, Windows 10 pro to Ubuntu version 22.04 LTS to be exact. I now wanted to install Unity on my computer.
The problem is that when I open the Unity Hub, all I see is a grey screen with the sub Menus having no options when hovering over them.
What I found is that it apparently is this way because Unity only works on ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
However, I have found people that claim it works on versions 20.04 and 22.04. Having received contradictory information, I dont know what the truth is, so now I'm here.
I normally use the most recent version of TexStudio with my Linux Mint system by downloading the source tarball and compiling it in my machine. Recently I upgraded Mint to 17.3 and TexStudio to 2.10.8 at the same time.
However, when I installed TexStudio, the menu bar was not there anymore, I uninstalled and reinstalled the stable version 2.6.6, everything was fine, but upgrading it to 2.10.8 again, menu was lost.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
it worked fine for me, taking the xUbuntu 14.04 package. Linux Mint 17.3 is based on that version of Ubuntu. Its better to use the pre-build package
I have done a fresh install of eclipse mars on both of my desktop PC and laptop PC. While the user interface looks clean on desktop PC, it looks ugly (compared to Desktop) on laptop. Both PC's have same configuration. Both runs Linux Mint 17.2 as operating system. Both uses same GTK theme etc. In my opinion the problem in laptop is backgrounds of SWT widgets are not transparent. But this is just a guess.

Your opinion seems to be right. I had a same problem on Kubuntu. In fact I couldn't change it in any way. After few days it looks right by itself. (maybe some fix, update or something...)
By the way nice interface!
I found out that this was a GTK theme issue, not an eclipse issue. Although two PC's use the same GTK theme (delorean dark). Desktop PC was getting the theme from a more updated PPA. laptop was getting the theme from Linux Mint PPA. I updated the theme on laptop, now the looks are consistent.
I use eclipse IDE for developing my GWT and android apps. I would like to transition to a chromebook for my main development computer, but I can't figure out how I would get eclipse "installed". There is no chrome app version of eclipse, at least not that I can find. I do see that there are other IDEs in the chrome store, but I don't think they would have all the nifty helper plugins that eclipse has for google developers. Anybody know if a chrome version of eclipse is coming? Do others share my desire to develop on a chrome book?
Eclipse is not coming for Chrome OS. You need a JVM to run it and one of the compatible desktops for the UI widgets. So you would have to escape from Chrome OS desktop into base Linux and somehow launch a regular Linux desktop (like GTK) to have any hope of running Eclipse. Also, a typical chromebook is far too underpowered to run a full IDE.
Here are some options to consider:
Project Orion - A web based IDE from many of the same people who develop Eclipse. One of the goals is to enable Eclipse-like capabilities for platforms like iOS, Android, Chrome OS, etc. It has quite a few base IDE capabilities already, but not a lot of plugins just yet. Probably not going to see something as sophisticated as ADT for a while if ever. Google would have to implement Android emulators in JavaScript. Not an easy task.
Run Eclipse on another machine and use a remote desktop from your chromebook.
Run Eclipse Che on another machine or cloud server and use Chrome
The most straightforward and transparent way I was able to do so was to do a combination of things (some of which was mentioned in previous answers):
install crouton (alongside an ubuntu chroot) - this is not dual booting but running Ubuntu side by side with Chrome OS just alternating between both windowing systems.
install crouton chrome extension & xiwi - this enables running the X11 windows in the ubuntu chroot as native Chrome OS windows that can be easily alternated into.
install a JDK inside the ubuntu chroot.
download, mount and execute eclipse-installer.
once the eclipse distribution of choice is installed, for ease I symlinked the main eclipse executable to /usr/local/bin/eclipse and am able to run it from Chrome OS via crouton/xiwi: sudo startxiwi eclipse
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when done:
Eclipse requires a JVM (maybe even a full-blown JDK), so there's no way to make it into a Chrome app. You could enable developer mode and try to install a Linux JDK since Chrome seems to be running Linux under the hood.
Do others share my desire to develop on a chrome book?
The solution is to load a normal linux distribution and run IDE from there. I'm using a netbook with intel n260, 1G ram, 1.6G Hz. NetBeans runs quite well. A chromebook runs more than twice faster, I'm sure it will be good enough.
As to how to load a linux, there is the Ubuntu on Cr-48 page that explains how to do it in depth. And also this very user friendly blog on arstechnica, or this blog on liliputting. They both point you eventually to the ChrUbuntu, that is a hand-re-packaged ubuntu with some scripts to ease your work.
You can install ubuntu via crouton (for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_MuVwJq_XQ&list=FLFel7rdB1nWQSjsJCaepEOg&index=1) and then you can install eclipse I'm not sure if you can install the ADT from the android sdk website but you can install the plugins from the eclipse website, third party developers, or if you really want to download it from the android sdk website you can probably get it to work with a little efort.
:) Enjoy
Yes! I share your desire to program on a Chromebook! While I am still a high-schooler, I am an amateur Java and Python programmer. My school provides with a class set of about 30 Chromebooks per classroom, and I didn't know how to run my code on them. I had Eclipse on my Windows desktop at home.
When I looked around online, I found something called codenvy.io. It is basically an Eclipse Che IDE that runs online. It uses Docker images to start up a workspace, runs all in the cloud, and a free account has 3 GB of RAM.
It suited my needs, and I loved it! You should check it out.
I am unable to install JDK on my laptop (a 64 bit machine with Windows 7 Home Basic). Whenever I try to install JDK on it a screen flashes for permission and after that, there is no processing for installation.
I want to install eclipse and android sdk for android development.
right click the jdk or eclipse and choose the Run as administrator mode. it will install your application.
I had a similar experience on Win7 Professional (64bit) with jdk-7u21-windows-x64
Turning off Windows's User Account Control fixed it (just remember to turn it back on when you're done)
