(/Thread-Where-is-OSCAR) |
Where is OSCAR? - JohnnySee - 01-15-2020 I had been using Sleepyhead for a long time and had appreciated its in-depth analysis of my sleep data. When I decided that I would update it I quickly found myself using OSCAR. It turned out to be a very familiar replacement for Sleepyhead with some improvements. My computer was getting old so I decided to replace it with a faster, newer build. The new machine is using Ubuntu 19.10 just like the old one was. I have downloaded the OSCAR deb and allowed Ubuntu's package manager to install it automatically. I have not been able to find OSCAR since! Having re-read the installation instructions, I realised I should have installed OSCAR manually. So I used the package manager to remove OSCAR, then installed him manually via the terminal. I still cannot find OSCAR! Can anyone tell me where to find the executable file please? If I fail here I will have to resort to DreamMapper which, compared to Sleepyhead/OSCAR, was pathetic. Thank you in advance. John. RE: Where is OSCAR? - Crimson Nape - 01-15-2020 I just finished posting a reply to a very similar question in this forum. The post contains all the steps you requested. Here is the link: http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-How-to-load-OSCAR-in-LinuxMint?pid=329049#pid329049 Please report back of your success or failure. RE: Where is OSCAR? - JohnnySee - 01-15-2020 Thank you Crimson Nape. My problem has been solved! - not by your very much appreciated and quick response, but by a new discovery for me in the Gnome desktop. Having worked through your instructions with no apparent sign of success, I was browsing the desktop when I noticed an option on a right-click dropdown menu which asked if I wanted to make the icon "able to launch". Of course! That is exactly what I want! So I enabled that option and Hey! Presto! OSCAR works just like it did before. Thank goodness for that! I had noticed the icon labelled "OSCAR.desktop " but when I double clicked on it all I got was a text editor looking inside the code. Now I know how to use such a thing it's all good. Thank you again. Hopefully my ignorance may assist others . . . John. |
