missing menu bar in texstudio 2.10.8 on linux mint 17.3 - linux-mint

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

Which Ubuntu Versions can run Unity

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.

Unable to install locust on windows

Hi i am trying to install locust on windows with python version 3.7.3, using pip install locustio but getting below error.
ERROR: Could not build wheels for gevent which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
I was getting above error because Visual Studio was not installed in my machine. When I did I was able to install locust, and its working fine now.
Had faced a similiar issue on MacOS.
The MacOS Catalina update upgraded my system python was 3.8. (Gevent works with <3.7)
Installing a lower version with pyenv fixed it.

How to remove the HUGE padding for tabs and icons in Eclipse on Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce edition?

I've just installed Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce edition on a laptop and went on to install Eclipse Mars.2 after I have finished playing with colors everywhere.
I've downloaded the gzipped tarball and extracted it in my home, started it, and got this bad surprise:
I've already tried this but as you can see on the screenshot, it didn't work
I've been searching and tinkering css files for now, in /usr/share/themes but haven't been successful (I'm not even sure which theme I'm using).

Enthought Canopy, pip not installing freshest github commit

I'm really perplexed by this behavior:
I am installing a github repo using pip with the Canopy Command Prompt in Enthought Canopy version 1.5.2
When I install a package from github, it clones the file, installs and says everything is up to date and even changes the version number, but the imported package is still the old version
For instance, I change the names of a function from version 7.1.1 to 7.1.2. When I go to install the latest version, pip tells me I have installed version 7.1.2, but the changes are not taking place in the actual install when I import the file in the Canopy Editor, in fact a simple help(package) is showing the old version as still installed. So pip in the Canopy Command Prompt is telling me I am installing the latest version, but when I import that package in the actual Canopy Editor, the older version is installed.
I have restarted my kernel, closed the Enthought program, but neither seem to fix the problem.

Ipython option not visible in spyder

I just installed the macports versions of spyder and ipython onto my macbook pro running osx 10.8. There does not seem to be a way to open an ipython console from this version of spyder. That is, there is no mention of ipython in the Interpreters menu, nor in the preferences.
Has someone come across this problem and might know how to fix it? Many thanks.

(Spyder dev here) According to this page the latest stable IPython version in MacPorts is 1.0, which is unsupported by Spyder 2.2.3 (our latest stable release).
We are working right now to make it compatible for our next release (i.e. 2.2.4), which will be available in two weeks.
