Some open gl apps freak out.

I'm still researching, but I think this problem has to do with SDL.
here's part of a post that I believe applies to me...
Frozen bubble outputs:
[SDL Init] [Graphics...] [Levels] Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault
(SDL Parachute Deployed)
Segmentation fault
Tuxracer:
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
Segmentation fault
Foobillard:
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
GLTron and Chromium work fine, so it appears to be just SDL and not
OpenGL.
Anyway,  Im using the nvidia driver with dual screens. A gforce3 as
primary agp card and gforce4 as secondary pci card. I suspect that
there is a conflict going on somewhere between using the nvidia
driver, openGL and SDL. and it might have something to do with
the upgraded xfree86.  I'm using xfree86 verssion 4.4.0
I do see a few errors in my log file...
(EE) NVIDIA(1): Cannot read V_BIOS
(EE) NVIDIA(1): Unable to initialize the X Int10 module; the console may not
(EE) NVIDIA(1):      be restored correctly on your TV.
I'm not sure if these are serious errors or not, or if they have
anything to do with some open gl apps either freaking out with
the parachute thingy or just running totally choppy and freezing up.
Can anyone give me some inpute on how to go about solving this?

Thanks tons! reinstalling the nvidia driver fixed the problem. Well
I should say mostly fixed the problem. glxgears isback to kicking butt
on both monitors/cards. open gl works great on the secondary
gforce4 pci device. on my primary geforce3 agp device I still
get the sdl parchute thing with foobillard but that doesen't really
bother me. I'm alittle concerned about this message from the
installer.
WARNING: Your driver installation has been altered since it was initially

         attempt to uninstall as best it can.  Please see the file

Originally, after installing arch,  I downloaded the tarball and
installed the driver with the sh Nvidia_______.run command. Since
then the driver has been updated and I used the nvidia-installer
--update to update it.
Did I mess up by originally installing the driver without using the installer?

  • Apps Timing Out

    I upgraded my 4.3 to 4.5. It appears to be corrupt. because no one else is having the problems with some not all apps. timing out. Verizon techs don't know the answer. How do I uninstall on phone so that I can try again?
    Thanks

    Does it still show the 4.5 as being installed under Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel? If not, then you can download and install the OS again. When you go through the Application Loader this time it will reload the OS on your phone.

  • Why don't some of my apps open after Time Machine restore?

    As I was diligently running Disk Utility for my monthly maintenance routine, it reported some disk errors which could not be repaired. I tried Repair Permissions and Repair Disk again but got the same result. I had no choice but to boot up off my Snow Leopard Installer CD, wipe the drive clean and then restore my files from my Time Machine backups. Almost 3 full days later, the restore completed (155GB of data). All my files are back. Hooray and thank you Apple! But.. some of my apps won't start. They bounce in the dock, but do not actually open. They just stop bouncing without any visible errors.
    I haven't checked every single app but so far App Store, Mail, Dictionary, iTunes, Address Book and iCal won't open. However, Firefox, TextEdit, Calculator, Word, Excel, VirtualBox, and Disk Utility seem OK. Any ideas? I thought it might be a permssions thing so I repaired permissions 3 times using Disk Utility (each time permissions appear to be repaired) but that didn't help. I have a callback to Apple scheduled for tomorrow, but any advance info would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    You have a problem with your drive and/or OS X and it's TimeMachine copy, are corrupted.
    I had no choice but to boot up off my Snow Leopard Installer CD, wipe the drive clean
    Do it again like this, hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, this time use Erase>Security Option> Zero All Data. Install 10.6. fresh, no TM restore.
    But before you do this, copy your user file folders (music, docs, pics, etc) to a regular storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and disconnect all drives.
    Almost 3 full days later, the restore completed
    It doens't take 3 days to restore that's insane, I clone a entire drive with twice that amount in only a hour,  you obviously have a more serious issue.
    I have a callback to Apple scheduled for tomorrow, but any advance info would be greatly appreciated!
    If your boot drive is failing, if under warranty/AppleCare then let Apple replace it.
    If not, then try the Zero Erase and reinstall OS X fresh and update to 10.6.8 and wait it out, see if it works to see if it's really the drive or not, then create a new user like your old one, then install all your programs from fresh sources and files drag and dropped manually from the storage drive.
    If you use TimeMachine to restore from, the same corruption there will return, if it was caused by hardware (your boot drive) or in software is undetermined, best do a fresh 10.6 install in this case and wait it out to see if it's a hardware issue.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    If your drive is failing, it will fail with the fresh install, but at least you have your data off safely on a storage drive and not trapped by TimeMachine as that's likely corrupted as well from either the boot drive, or by some other reason.
    Also don't let Apple install 10.7 Lion if they try, most of your software won't work with it. Stick with 10.6.8., leave 10.7 for a new machine.

  • I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

  • When I open an app, it exits out of the app and returns to the home screen.

    When I open up apps, it exits out and returns to the home screen.

    That's not true. In most cases this is a memory issue and in some cases simply a bug. Most often it can be corrected by either resetting the iPad or closing all other apps and restarting the app in question.
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

  • My iPad won't open some of my apps and I've tried updating and it says not connected to Internet which I am bc I'm using it right now please help

    My iPad won't open some of my apps says it's not connected to the internet which I am because I'm using it right now. I ant listen to music I can't update I can't do anything

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    If you can still access the machine and haven't wiped the drive, open the Mac App Store, log in to your Apple ID, and try to download Mavericks from there. If it works, make a bootable USB from the
    Mavericks installer (google how to do this). Then boot to the USB wipe the drive and install Mavericks clean. And since it shoudl be associated with your Apple ID at that point you shouldn't have any issues.

  • Some of my apps won't open- when try to open..they just shut down when opening..?

    Hi guys... Any tech advice would be welcome... My first time on this forum..
    Some of my apps won't open- when I try  to open them..it just shuts them down.
    It then goes back to the home screen. This is happening on eBay, calander, bbc news. Each day is different one.
    Then it seems to be ok, and hey hey... It does it again!
    Usually choosing another app?
    It also drops out sometimes, if I go from an eBay item link to Safari.
    Again back to the home screen....
    I have had these problems for about 6 weeks, my iPad is 2 months old..
    It's  first iPad, and I love it!
    but never had any problems before like these on my iPhones..
    Thanks

    troublshooting:
    go to your open apps (double click on the home button). remove all of the apps you have open there.
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Follow these steps to reset your device
    Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    if those don't work you may have to restore your ipad and see if that doesn't fix anything
    I think your issue is an open tab you have in Safari but it could be a number of things.
    If these don't work, I would go to the apple store, tell them you pretty much did everything you could and the issue comes back, then you can deduce what the issue is possible by keeping track of which apps you have open.

    after updating my ipad some of the apps aren't usable. They are "greyed out" and it says "waiting..." below the app when I tap on it.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.

The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places.

    I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?
