I have modified the Dataviewer launcher (which runs when you either click the icon or type "dataviewer" in the terminal).
A semi-old problem was that it would open in the file /users/Templates, but our dataviewer templates start in /users/Templates/Dataviewer_Templates. Now this is the folder that dataviewer opens into. This was not related to the upgrade to Ubuntu 12, but will be overwritten any time someone does a checkout of the /ligo/apps/launchers folder.
A problem that is related to the Ubuntu 12 situation, which we had been seeing on Ottavia and Pianosa for a few weeks, was that the variable NDSSERVER was set to fb:8088, which is required for cdsutils to work. However, dataviewer wants this variable to be set to just fb. So, locally in the dataviewer launcher script, I set NDSSERVER=fb. NB: I do not export this variable, because I don't want to screw up the cdsutils. This may need to be undone if we ever upgrade our Dataviewer. |
