I am running OpenFOAM on Ubunt
 

I am running OpenFOAM on Ubuntu 7.10.

First, since I completed the install, every time I start my terminal, it executes three commands and then gives me the command prompt. I am not at my machine right now, so I don't have the exact text that it shows. This is not a big problem, but I am wondering if it is normal.

Hi

I have had the same problems with Paraview, when I ran Ubuntu 7.10. I found out, that if I opened paraFoam in a terminal in Workspace 1 and moved the paraFoam window to any of the other workspaces, many of the problems disappeared. At least the toolbar buttons showed the correct icons.

Best regards,
