Looks like it might be a bug in the update from Karmic to Lucid. Take a look at this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread281259.html[/url] Jas. p.s. How is Lucid? I still haven't updated, so I haven't tried it yet!

OK hopefully this will clear up some of your questions: [B][U]The linux executable format[/U][/B] Most binary executable programs in Linux do not have an extension like in Windows (which use the .exe extension). For example, the 3D program Blender, in windows the executable is called 'blender.exe'. In *nix it's just …

It seems to me that the only reason these corporations are starting to persecute open source projects is because they represent a growing threat to their greedy profit margins! This quote sums things up nicely (not sure who originally said it!): Nothing is done for the common good where there …

Try adding the following include: [CODE]#include<WinReg.h>[/CODE] Cheers for now, Jas.

Have you tried this? [CODE]su -c 'yum update xpdf'[/CODE]

Or perhaps just leave it as [CODE]else[/CODE]

Well, have you tried google?? heh heh! :P And I'm not just being gratuitously facetious here, there is a serious point I'm trying to make. For example: After reading your post I really didn't know what CAN was, so I did a bit of googling of my own because I'm …

[QUOTE=mooreted;1203031]I prefer VLC and it's in the repos. This isn't Windows so I don't suggest downloading unknown apps from the Internet. Mplayer is good but you have to install MS codecs. VLC will play just about anything.[/QUOTE] I second that motion! VLC is my media player of choice on all …

Most of this code looks just plain wrong, so it is unsurprising that you're getting errors! I think you need to read up a bit on the correct use of iterators. For example, the statement starting: [CODE]if(answer_->at(individual) .....[/CODE] is incorrect. You can't pass an iterator to at(). Besides, the iterator …

I don't know about direct communication between flash and python, but here is a link to a post I made a couple of months ago which contains a link to, and some info about a python script that populates an xml file which is used by a little flash app. …

I could be wrong, but I think it depends on the terms of the licence that your copy of windows falls under. So if you have a full-price retail copy of XP, then under the terms of the licence I believe you're entitled to install it on several machines. (Not …

OK. At the moment, Flashdevelop is only available for windows. (I believe there are mac and *nix ports in the pipeline...Not sure how well it runs on wine.). So Windows XP or Vista is the main prerequisite. (should also work on windows 7 too!) The other main prerequisites are the …

Typically in *nix, when you open up a console it opens in your home directory. Bearing this in mind, when you're using the chmod command, are you actually in the directory that you saved hello.py in? The error message appears to say that the file cannot be found, so it …

Have you tried [URL="http://tinyurl.com/2wzbux3"]this[/URL]?? heh heh! ;) If you had you would have found [URL="http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/command.html"]this little gem[/URL], which tells you everything you need to know! Doesn't get much simpler than that does it?? Cheers for now, Jas.

I've used Monodevelop on *nix briefly...And not for anything particularly serious either. More out of morbid curiosity than anything else I suppose. Primarily I'm a C++ programmer by trade, but as a one-off I did some pretty heavy .NET development in C# a few years ago for one of my …

I think most of the Gnome stuff is still on your PC. Synaptic is probably just downloading and installing a few packages that you got rid of (like the python 2.6 related packages) and re-installing the Gnome desktop. As I mentioned in your other thread. Once the re-install is complete, …

What Salem meant was, have you added mystack.cpp to the project tree in your solution? I'm with Salem here, I strongly suspect you have not! In Visual Studio, take a look at the solution explorer window and see what files are listed in there. You should have myStack.h listed under …

The first thing I'd check are your publish settings. It could be that you need to set your .fla up to use the network rather than the local filesystem. This is part of the security sandboxing for flash. I think by default it is set to 'use local filesystem', which …

You could try booting into rescue-mode from a Ubuntu live-CD as described [URL="http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-boot-ubuntu-linux-rescue-mode/"]here[/URL]. But I'm not sure exactly what this would do, as I've never tried it! It might be pretty much the same as doing a fresh re-install!

OK, forgive me for being a little slow on the uptake here, but I'm a bit confused by the 'snow effect' you refer to. You don't really give much detail about the effect or how you've added it, other than you've added it to the timeline at a particular frame. …

It looks more or less correct, it at least looks as if it should calculate the tax correctly. The only obvious problems I can see are the conditions in your if..elif.. block, which needs a couple of minor tweaks. At the moment, if you enter the value 50000 you'll get …

When you get to the login screen, will the system allow you to change the default session to Gnome? If so, simply boot your pc and then when it gets to the login screen, change the default session to Gnome before logging in. Once you get to the Gnome desktop, …

Have you tried [URL=http://tinyurl.com/y9l3278]this[/URL]?? heh heh! :) But seriously, you haven't given us much to go on. Which version of flash/actionscript do you want to learn? Are you going to be using one of the official Adobe/Macromedia Flash IDE's? If so, which one? If not, do you plan to use …

Are you sure that the code you've posted even compiles?? I've not looked at your code in great detail, but from briefly looking at it I've spotted a few obvious errors that shouldn't allow this code to compile, let alone run and segfault! For starters there's your misuse of the …

This should be pretty self-explanatory. Here's your code again, I've commented out a line of code which should stop your sound from auto-playing: [CODE]var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var lastPosition:Number = 0; var soundIsPlaying:Boolean = true; mySound.load(new URLRequest("Intro1.mp3")); //Line below not needed: //myChannel = mySound.play(); …

Taking things right back to the beginning and assuming that there was at least a README or something. Have you read any of the documentation that shipped with the template? That would be my first port of call. Any decent template should come with detailed instructions on how to modify …

OK first up, I'm not familiar with Newton Raphson so I can't actually help you out with the algo. But I can see the problem with your code. The reason you never see any output is because your while loop loops infinitely because the value of the variable 'err' never …

Well, for starters I would've used [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/misc-explaincode.html"]code tags[/URL] when posting the code! heh heh! Other than that, I can see three main errors in the code: 1. The variable 'option' is uninitialised before it is used in the while loop in main. So I'd recommend initialising it to something..Anything will …

A couple of questions first.. [B]Exactly what is a clump?

With 'songbird' (i.e. the actual songbird executable, the file with no file extension), have you ensured that it is flagged as executable? Try right-clicking on it from the desktop or Nautilus, open up the properties and ensure that the tickbox to allow execution is checked. That may help. Otherwise open …

There's no need to uninstall mepis at all, you can simply get the Ubuntu installer to install Ubuntu using the entire drive and mepis will be replaced by Ubuntu. All you need to do is the following: 1. Back up any personal files that you want to keep. (probably the …

Narue has explained this in great detail [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread90228.html"]here[/URL]. Her post includes a pretty comprehensive solution! Cheers for now, Jas. EDIT: Ooops, looks like Vernon beat me to the punch there! Nicely done Vernon. A bit more verbose than my entry!

I know the documentation isn't particularly clear even in the Adobe livedocs, but in it's simplest terms; As far as I understand it, an URLRequest object basically just holds a link, a http:// URL. After creating an URLRequest, to use it you need to call something like the navigateToURL function, …

You could try swfobject.js. This is a free and quite small javascript library (google it, you'll find it!) which can be used for embedding flash onto any web-page. It's cross-platform and cross-browser compatible. It can dynamically determine the browser and version of the browser that viewers of your site are …

[QUOTE=jimmyt89;1140100]Hello, our company currently has a web based program using Adobe Flash to present flash images. We also have tools that allow a user to draw and zoom in on those images. The problem is the tools are not very robust. We need to rebuild/revamp it but don't really know …

If you're using the built-in media-player component that ships with flash-pro IDE's, there is a property which you can set to false to stop the video from auto-playing. I can't remember exactly what it is called, but from the flash IDE, if you select your instance of the media player …

So toggleButton is also the equaliser animation? If that is the case, then perhaps you could do something like this in your startSong function: [CODE] function startSong(){ songChannel = song.play(); songChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, songCompleteHandler); toggleButton.addEventListenter(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateToggleButton); } [/CODE] You should also remove the ENTER_FRAME event handler in your stopSong function. The animateToggleButton …

Unless you happen to have access to the original source code for Half-life or Tomb Raider, then you have no hope of being able to port them over to run natively on Linux. But there is nothing to stop you from creating your own Half-life or Tomb Raider clone using …

umm....This may sound a bit obvious, but have you tried clearing your browsers cache/history? If the new versions of the HTML files have been uploaded to the server, then it's pretty certain that your changes to the site have actually been made. Which means it's most likely that your browser …

Personally I'd say you're on the right track with the cue-points. You said you've put a cue point into the flv. All you need to do now is add an event listener to your flv playback component to listen for cue-point events and a handler function to be called when …

In that case, once the you know that the xml has been updated, perhaps you should reload and reparse the xml file. Cheers for now, Jas.

Hmm, I'd have to echo what Nick and Clutchkiller said. The express version of Visual C++ 2008 or Code::Blocks with mingw are the best free C++ IDE's/compilers for windows. But I'd steer clear of Dev-C++ as it is no longer being developed or maintained. Better to stick with something more …

Well, bearing in mind that you've posted in a Linux forum rather than a Windows forum, the question really is; what do you want to do after you've reformatted you hard drive?? Do you want to put Windows back on there or are you thinking of switching to Linux? If …

You need to be doing something like this in the constructor: [CODE] Pstring::Pstring(string word): string(word) { if (isPalindrome() ) cout << "the word is a palindrome"; else cout << "the word is not a palindrome"; } [/CODE] The ": string(word)" I added to the constructor will initialise the std::string part …
