Hi,
I am new to Lazarus but having graduated from Delphi 7, the programming is familiar. I've set up Lazarus on a Windows 7 desktop computer and have been managing that with no major problems but have encountered problems on my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop.
While working within the program on the Ubuntu system, I can carry out the programming, test it and generally get it to work - the problem occurs when I try to save my projects. I must be making some basic error somewhere but have been unable to identify what I am doing incorrectly. I have used the same saving routines that have been successful in Lazarus on my Windows 7 desktop but they seem not to work on the Ubuntu machine. The problem is, although everything appears to have been saved, when I load my project by double clicking the 'project1.lpi' file, the unit loads without its form. I can see 'project1.lpi', 'project1.lpr', 'project1.lps', 'project1.res', 'unit1.lfm' and 'unit1.pas' are listed in the save location.
So what am I doing incorrectly? I'd be grateful if experienced forum members could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
