Unable to run Aptana Studio 3 on Big Sur

I installed Aptana Studio 3 (v3.7.2.201807301111) on Mac Big Sur with 16GB ram but I can't get it to run. It appears momentarily in the dock then disappears with no errors.
Any suggestions please?
have a look to the log file, this is:
<your_workspace_dir>.metadata/.log
you can open the file from terminal with:
open -a /Applications/TextEdit.app $HOME/Documents/Aptana_Studio_Workspace/.metadata/.log

Fresh ubuntu 18.04 and awesome-wm gnome-control-center is dead

Fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 then standard apt-install of awesome with awesome-extra.
Awesome --version returns
awesome v4.2 (Human after all)
• Compiled against Lua 5.3.3 (running with Lua 5.3)
• D-Bus support: ✔
• execinfo support: ✔
• xcb-randr version: 1.5
• LGI version: 0.9.2
gnome-control-center sound -v
** (gnome-control-center:14812): DEBUG: 14:27:19.737: Enabling debugging
** (gnome-control-center:14812): DEBUG: 14:27:19.850: No extra argument
** (gnome-control-center:14812): WARNING **: 14:27:19.850: Could not find settings panel "sound"
Basically there is no settings whatsoever.
Anyone can suggest what went wrong?
Everything else works just fine, I have sound, keyboard, multiple displays. I just lost control over settings, cannot mute sound, cannot dim a screen, cannot lock my laptop.
PS
Previous ubuntu (16.04) had unity-control-center and it was working just fine (but with older version of awesome I think)
gnome-control center can be run by tricking it into thinking it is in a gnome desktop
env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
or by editing the .desktop files for each control app.
for example
/usr/share/applications/gnome-display-panel.desktop
find the line OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; add awesomewm
I reached to Awesome irc channel to figure out what might be wrong. Explanation I was given (I am not quoting, I am answering as I understand the problem) is that nowadays gnome is more and more strict over it's architecture. So in the past you could replace window manager on gnome with another tool and retain whatever underlying solution was (mentioned control panel, sound widgets and etc). But nowadays gnome has approach all or nothing.
So real solution to my problem is, because sound and screen is working and I am only missing settings-control over them, is to install widgets and/or tools. For example pavucontrol was mentioned as good tool for a sound and bind key shortcuts to control brightness.
Previous iteration of Ubuntu worked, because exactly it was running unity, not gnome.

Unable to open Atom

I am unable to open my Atom Editor. It was working fine until yesterday, but don't know why it won't open today. No windows update or anything on my computer. I tried deleting the 'Storage' folder as mentioned in some online forums, doesn't help. Any suggestions? I am using Atom version 1.19.6.0.
If you're using MAC OS and have similar problem, try this:
Open Window tab
and then click Zoom.
Atom will sometime fail to open because of a bad configuration-file.
To better diagnose this on Windows (10), try running atom from a CMD window:
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Open a Command-window -
Ctrl+Esc > (type "command") > Enter
Go to where Atom is installed -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
If you see an error message at this point, it should help identify the problem.
If still not clear, you can try moving the main configuration-file,
which is in a different folder:
cd %USERPROFILE%/.atom/
rename config.cson config.SAVE.cson
Go to where Atom is installed (again) -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
Based on this answer on the Atom forum:
https://discuss.atom.io/t/atom-will-not-open-windows/47489
I experienced this issue when my Atom windows all suddenly resized to be so small I could not see or find them anywhere (some weird glitch with opening it from a full-screen window on an external display). I resolved it by command-tabbing (I think it's ctrl-tab on Windows, I forget) to my open atom application to bring up the application's menu bar, and then selecting Window > Zoom from the menu.
I am using Atom on Windows 10 64-bit, and had similar problems of installation and not running later.
You can do the following:
Empty Trash, and Temp and Prefetch folders.
Change the security and read only properties of the temp folder.
IMP > Disable antivirus and run atom it will work, later add the Atom app to exclusion list of your antivirus.
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Got to where Atom installed : Mine:> C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\atom
See this Image
Go to Folder indicated in the picture and find atom.exe by scrolling through the folder and open it and make a shortcut to desktop and it will work.
I found that mv command is not builtin Windows cmd as suggested by Gonen. So following the idea of Gonen, a working solution can also be like:
In windows explorer type %USERPROFILE%/.atom/, or manually go to the path
(in my case): C:\Users\hussainazhar.atom. Of course, go to your drive path accordingly. Close Atom application if already opened.
Simply rename the config.cson to config.SAVE.cson
Open up the Atom and now you can go to the settings :)
All you simply need to do is go the main directly where the file is located and open the FIRST folder.
After opening it, there you will see atom file, double click on it and it will be opened successfully.
The atom Window is just minimized, it gives the impression of not openning, but it is actually opening, again is just minimized.
I was able to see the atom interface, by maximizing the window using the keyboard:
on windows, it normally is Alt+SpaceBar+x.

Plot doesn't work in Octave 4.0.0 (Windows 7 64-bit)

I'm trying to get Plot working for Octave Windows 7 (64 bit). Things I have tried:
Tried changing the graphics_toolkit to gnuplot or fltk. See Plot window not responding
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Octave.
I have tried to install the latest version of gnuplot in the Octave Directory.
pkg rebuild -noauto oct2mat (didn't help before or after octave restart)
The cursor moves to the next line (without ">>", as if waiting for the command to run), but the figure window doesn't show at all, I have to press Ctr-C several times to force Octave to quit.
Code:
x = linspace(0,1,10)
y = x.^2
plot(x,y);
Please suggest if I can try something else.
Octave version : 4.0.0, running on a laptop, Windows 7 64-bit Professional.
I rewrite the comment as answer.
A long delay when plotting for the first time in GNU Octave on Windoze is a known problem: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45458
The reason for this is that the fontconfig cache has to be build once. After that plotting should be fast as usual.

RStudio is blank when opened

I have just installed the latest versions of R (3.1.0) and Rstudio (v0.98.507) on a Windows 7 machine, 64 bit.
The R GUI works OK, but when I open the RStudio.exe only a blank window opens. I've tried re-installing R and RStudio.
Any suggestions?
By choosing the R version I wanted to use I was able to use Rstudio again.
To choose the R version you want to use with Rstudio do the following;
Click the CTRL key (don't let go)
Click on the Rstudio icon
Choose the version you want in the pop-up window.
For Ubuntu users where #neal's solution doesn't work.
$ rstudio --no-sandbox
related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468
Download the 64bit version and reinstall it.
The same for Linux
FOR LINUX: this happens to me on cloud instances. A solution is forcing software rendering of RStudio. You need to start RStudio, get to the black screen, close Rstudio black screen, do my solution below in the terminal with Rstudio closed, then start Rstudio again.
In terminal:
sudo nano ~/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini
APPEND THE FOLLWING TO [General] section (leave whatever is there and add the line below):
[General]
desktop.renderingEngine=software
Again this is for Linux, but there may be a similar issue in Windows and you may be able to force software rendering.
Press down Ctrl key and then click on RStudio icon to launch. A dialog box asks you about the R version. Choose the one that actually exists (you might see an R version which does not exist; confusing RStudio)
For Windows10 64bit.
After following the hold Ctrl and clicking RStudio icon.
Change the Rendering Engine: to Software.
This fixed the problem on my machine.
