Athena/Artemis/Atoms OSX (10.9.3) issues
I am running into the following issues (screen shots for each are attached)
*1st) starting athena from the terminal*
I get the following message but the software hangs (rainbow wheel of death)
and I am unable to advance to the main page
"Athena found and autosave file. Would you like to import"
I tried uninstalling in terminal: sudo port uninstall xorg-server demeter
and reinstalling in terminal: sudo port install xorg-server demeter
but the program still hangs
*2nd) The screens for artemis and atoms have black backgrounds so that the
text is hidden.*
As a new user I am having a hard time using the software in a semi-blind
mode.
Thanks
Jennifer

The second issue is known and has been discussed on the mailing list. It's one o fthe main reasons Frank made the demeter-devel package: http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04404.html As for the first issue, I am not clear what exactly is happening. This works as expected, at least on my linux machine. Are you not able to press either of the buttons on the dialog? Do you press one or the other and it hangs? Does the dialog not appear on the screen? What happens if you simply delete the autosave file? (It should be $HOME/.horae/stash/Athena.autosave) B On 07/11/2014 10:19 AM, Jennifer Carter wrote:

Frank and Bruce,
Frank and Bruce, thanks for your fast response. I downloaded demeter-devel,
which fixed both problems (since it appears to have also deleted the
autosave file).
*Now Athena is hanging on the tip of the day.*
I found the archive thread on this topic from 07/03/14
http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04471.html
but I can't seem to find the demeter.ini file to change the "tips"
parameter to false.
1) I tried using the search function in the Finder
2) I also used the terminal to find the demeter folder:
perl -e 'use Demeter; print $INC{"Demeter.pm"}, $/'
Is there a better method of finding this file so that I can fixe the tips
hanging problem?
Thanks
Jennifer

It should be at $HOME/.horae/demeter.ini However, if you have never run Athena, then the tip dialog may show up before the .ini file gets written. Hmmm... If so, then you need to find the "athena.demeter_conf" file with is under the place found by perl -e 'use Demeter; print $INC{"Demeter.pm"}, $/' in "Demeter/configuration/". Near the top is a line that says "variable=tips". Soon after that is a line that says "default=true". Edit true to false and try again. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful and less command-line-y, but I just don't own a Mac. This is the best I can do. Or you can wait a few more days until the -devel package gets updated. I am sorry if this is frustrating for you. I am working on it just as fast as I can.

Bruce,
Not frustrated...
I changed the "variable=tips" to "default=false" in "athena.demeter_conf"
file with and without changing "restart=1" to "restart=0" with no change in
the opening of the tips screen on the starting of Athena.
Will the update of the -devel package be announced to the mailing list or
should I just periodically check the demeter website?
