“Send To” Button Stops Working on Ubuntu

Note

This issue occurred on older version of the software.

On Ubuntu 12.04 and later, you may experience that the “Send To” button in QuantumATK 12.8.0 only works once - after that it stops responding to clicks. To fix this, follow these steps:

  1. From the command line, run: qtconfig.

  • This program may not be installed, in which case it will give some suggestions, like qt3-config and qt4-config.

  • If so, install qt4-config (QuantumATK uses Qt 4.8) using the command sudo apt-get install qt4-config then try again launching qtconfig.

  1. Under GUI style, select “Cleanlooks”

  2. Save the setup File>Save

  3. Exit qtconfig

  4. Start VNL again

Hopefully the problem is now resolved. We are working on a more proper solution for upcoming versions of QuantumATK, however this is really a bug in Qt, so there’s only so much we can do.
