Could someone help me get geany working through "Personal Menu" as root? With personal menu I find that it wont run when "root" option is selected but if I select the terminal option, it asks for the root password which I thought was "rootme". Basically if I run geany through xterminal after I "sudo gainroot" it works great but launching it through the normal menu's it looks different and doesn't quit fit in the 800x480 display quite right. Oh also it doesn't have rights to save a file.
Dumb question alert: I have an N810... how do I enter special characters like braces or greater than / less than symbols? The pop up keyboard doest seem to pop up and the chr key doesn't seem functional. Is it me?
Thanks,
Frank
Well I found a work around... I picked up an iGo BT Stowaway Keyboard (that doesn't say it works for the N* ITT but it works very well.) I gives me braces, and all the important special characters. I successfully coded up a quick Hello World and Greany built and ran it. Cool!
I know some Java and am teaching myself C++. This app seems perfect for that, since I can just grab my N810 open a C++ for dummies manual pdf and Geany, then switch between them and you know...learn stuff on the subway.
I wrote a happy little Hello World program but I couldn't get it to compile and run. Is there soemthing I am missing? I would take it as a great and wonderful personal favour if someone would be so kind as to spell out exactly what one has to do to compile and run a piece of code.
Ok...so I installed g++ using "apt-get install g++". Then I set geany to run as root from the personal menu (which looks way nicer) as per the steps outlined in the personal menu thread. Then I went into the geany preferences to give the correct path to xterm.
Now when I choose build from the build menu it says compiled correctly, and when I choose run it launches xterm...but xterm closes immediately. As in it closes before it can show anything.
So I just need help with this last thing and I'll be on my way. What am I missing?
Hi, I'm trying to find curly braces in geany but I couldn't. I'm using n810 and the chr key doesn't seem to work. Also I could compile my simple console C++ application in it but while pressing the execute menu item it shows "Failed to execute the terminal program" so should I do. I have all the gcc's , g++'s and make files. So, please help me. Thanks..
