Are there anywhere profile files that control the GUI's appearance , maybe 
outside the main PSPP folder ?

Message-ID: <address@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hi Frank,

the default pspp version in Ubuntu 14.04 is 0.7.9 which is quite old. You can 
install a newer version of pspp via the ppa from Adam Zammit. You need to do 
the following steps:


a) Uninstall the current 0.7.9 version

sudo apt-get remove pspp

b) Check your current version:

address@hidden:~$ dpkg-query -l | grep pspp
rc  pspp                                                  0.7.9+git20120620-1.2 
                              amd64        Statistical analysis tool

This is the version that will be installed when you run: sudo apt-get install 
pspp

c) Add Adam Zammits PPA to your package sources:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adamzammit/pspp

d) Now update your source database

sudo apt-get update 

d) Check that the new version is available

apt-cache show pspp

=> You will see the two pspp packages 0.7.9 and 0.10.1 from Adam

e) Install the package

sudo apt-get install pspp

f) Run the GUI

psppire

Could you try this recipe?

Friedrich

Hi

No, there are no GUI settings file which you should change and I am not aware 
of a setting you could change. In GNU you can change a lot so maybe it is 
possible but it is not intended to do so.

But off course there must be a file somewhere which holds the latest files 
opened. I don't know the name of this file nor where it is hidden?

Developers can you tell where it is or what its name is?

Have fun
