Having trouble running this on a fully up-to-date Plasma 6 system.

The program window launches, but the whole thing flickers violently until I click off of it and it loses focus. I can read text and click buttons, but the only evidence I see that button presses are registered is that I see a '+' on the application's icon on the task manager / panel. I end up having to kill it, since it won't even respond to clicking the 'X' to close the window. Can't right click on the panel icon either... just get flickers.

Command line output below, I suspect maybe something to do with the line about window opacity, but I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

Thanks,

one of the maintainers hinted to remove the check function in the former package. As there is no true check running, you might want to remove it. The provides tag is still missing the e before the 2 in the value.

Thanks again!

All fixed with v1.2.6-2

Thanks for taking this over! I have some notes about this:

  • the AntScope2 binary expects its configuration databases (*.txt) in a path relative to its location (e.g. ./Resources/cables.txt). Thus, you might consider placing the binary in /usr/share/antscope2 as well and link it to /usr/bin
  • The calibration files (*.s1p) are expected within the same folder as the binary.
  • provide=('antscop2') should probably be provide=('antscope2')

Otherwise, on a plain install you'll face some error messages and run non-calibrated analyses.

Thanks again and good luck!
