Futher to what Richard said, if you want to convert a number from hex to decimal and then do some other operations in decimal then you have to do this:
1. Open calculator 2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu 3. Switch to Hexadecimal input 4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold) 5. Enter " in decimal" (without the quotes) after the number and press enter 6. The display should show 128₁₀ 7. Select the number and Ctrl-C to copy it. 8 Switch the Decimal input (this will clear the number which is why we just copied it) 9 Ctrl-V to paste the number in 10 Do your ops in decimal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166654 Title: Calculator does not convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal in Raring 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calculator/+bug/1166654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
