Is CVI for linux out ?

Hello all,
I haven't been back here for a while... I've beenusing the beta version of CVI for Linux for the last 6 months or so, but I haven't heard anything about the final version. Has it been released yet ? A quick search didn't lead to anything recent.
Thanks.

Hi,
We do have the NI LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Module for Linux. Here is a white paper that contains information on software recommendations, supported Linux distributions, etc. There is also a list of the differences between the Windows version and Linux version here that lists the exceptions where functions are not supported or behave differently.

Ini_ReadFromFile dumps core in CVI for Linux

Hello all,
I've been using the toolbox/inifile.h library for 3 years on CVI for Linux
with few problems. And suddenly it won't load my ini file.
It runs fine on Windows, I haven't updated the Linux CVI compiler (version
10, patched), I haven't done any relevant changes to my code.
IniText hInitFile;
char InitPath="config.ini" ;
hInitFile = Ini_New(0);
if (hInitFile==NULL) return 1;
Ini_ReadFromFile (hInitFile, IniPath)
Crashes here with core dump:

#1 0x08082e57 in Ini_ReadGeneric ()
#2 0x00000000 in ?? ()
Since it happens in a compiled lib, I can't do much more.

Solved shortly after posting the above...
There was a wrong entry in the ini file "=0.4" and it caused the crash...

Cvi for linux and gtk+

Is there any way that I can manipulate UI window settings like titlebar visible (ATTR_TITLEBAR_VISIBLE) via GTK+ or other toolkit in Linux? Basically, I am trying to manipulate the visual attributes of the UI that are not compatible in Linux such as the titlebar visibility, minimize and maximize buttons hidden, etc...
In windows, I have used the windows SDK to create/manipulate system tray icon menus. Perhaps there is a similar approach in Linux?
Thanks for reading,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Pete,
After a little more research, I have found that it is possible to modify these attributes, because CVI for Linux uses the X Window System. To do this, you would be able to get a reference to the X Window System attribute by using the function int GetPanelAttribute (int panelHandle, int
panelAttribute, void *attributeValue) with ATTR_SYSTEM_WINDOW_HANDLE for the panelAttribute. From here, you could use X Window System functions to modify properties.

Re: CVI for Linux

I'm sure Linux is more stable than the Win 9.x OS family, but I'm not sure
when comparing to WinNT.
I've been developed applications under WinNT with CVI for 3 years and had to
reboot only few times.
Even Linux is more stable than WinNT, still linux suffers from
incompatibality of hardwares and software technologies.
- Where in linux you can manipulate a program with another program like you
have in DDE in Windows ?
- Where in linux you can share application components in your customized
program like OLE and ActiveX in Windows ?
- Linux doesn't support foreign languages and foreign fonts, for example I
use hebrew and couldn't found hebrew for my RedHat platform that would be
supported by all the hebrew web pages, in Windows you don't mee
t this
problem.
- Is linux user friendly for install and maintance ... ? common...
- When you buy any additional PCI, ISA, AGP card or some accessory like
printer, scanner, cam. , CD, DVD etc. for your PC there's no chance you'll
get it with drivers for LINUX so you'll need to spend hours on web to look
for your new hardware drivers for linux if you'r lucky.
- Try to browse to an ASP web site which was written with VisualBasic
scripts, on linux and you'll find how much of the origianl page
functionality is missing comparing with browsing the same page under IE
Windows
LINUX is stable, yes but in what price: its very very far from being a
standard OS and so far it seems that the market including software, hardware
and PC accessories companies still invests their mayor budgets on windows
and less on linux.

This isn't even worth responding to, but I can't help it.
From someone who has great experience with many OSs and not swayed by marketing hype, lemming herding, or other cult issues. I can confidently say the following:
A simple analytic approach to OS determination reveals that Linux (& other Unix), Win-x, VxWorks, RTE, OSx, etc. each have specific application targets. Determine if your application requires mass market appeal for gaming & other toys, or be it industrial, or mission critical applications. Always choose the right tool. If you only have a hammer...step aside.
As for where the questioned services are provided...study the conceptual origin of DDE, Active X, etc. Unix has it, and much more. Don't get me started on the interprocess limitations of Windows! The
re's more to be held for those who have seen the possibilities.
Any comparison among OSs for 'the best' is like comparing apples, oranges, etc. Even a fruit stand attendent is more intelligent then to attempt such a feat! If you want a mango, buy a mango. But don't try to prove that it's better than any other.

Lockups in CVI for Linux

Hello all,
I just spent another few days investigation random lockups in a complex
application. I cannot reproduce them in a simpler system which is
infuriating: my test system works fine, my production system locks up!
They seem to happen sometimes when resizing windows.
I've gone through all the possibilities I could think of and eliminated
them:
- ATTR_FIXED_PLOT_AREA to TRUE on all graphs/strip charts
- removed all panel sizing calls from panel/control callbacks
- they don't seem to trigger on windows which aren't resizeable.
Still I get random freezes and gdb tells me it's in some nameless functions
deep in CVI libs.
Possible related bug (although it's marked as fixed in CVI2010):
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/12158#200558_by_Category
Yeah, I know this all is very vague... Grasping at straws here...
Guillaume Dargaud
http://www.gdargaud.net/

This is driving me absolutely crazy.
The lockups happen inside RunUserInterface() and I have no clue what in my
code is causing them. They are somehow reproducible (currently every time I
restart the program). But I cannot reproduce it in a controlled environment,
only on the production system!
When it happens Xorg and my program use most of the CPU. It must be some
window repainting problem (?!?):

LabWindows/CVI for Linux 2010 support under glibc-2.3

Our target Linux platform has glibc-2.3 (compatible with version 8.0) . Our hope was to implement version 2010 which fixes some serious shorcomings in version 8.0, however it requires glibc-2.5. This library is integral to the Linux OS and can't be updated alone. Because our CVI application is a wrapper on a third party software product, upgrading the OS is not an option.
What we desire is release of 2010 that is compatible with glibc-2.3, even if there are limitations.
One serious problem in version 8.0 for which we have no work-around:
On some Linux systems, FileSelectPopup
doesn't show all the files in a directory.
Others for which we begrudgingly deal with:
Displaying a panel can take a long time
when other threads are processing system events. While the panel is trying to
display, the contents of the panel might be entirely black. (Limiting all GUI calls to a single thread avoids this)
On some Linux systems, FileSelectPopup
doesn't show all the files in a directory.
Panels can behave erratically when their
size is modified from within the panel callback as a result of a size event.
(The size returned is different than what is programmatically set).

This isn't even worth responding to, but I can't help it.
From someone who has great experience with many OSs and not swayed by marketing hype, lemming herding, or other cult issues. I can confidently say the following:

Load panel tui file not working on CVI2012 for Linux

We are having problems with panels that look fine on Windows being difficult to read on Linux, presumably because most control and text fonts are VAL_DIALOG_META_FONT on Windows but the CVI for Linux run-time only has NISYSTEM.
As a quick way to test different fonts on Linux I created a tui file from the uir file and then used global search and replace to change VAL_DIALOG_META_FONT to something that would hopefully look decent on Linux.
Problem is that LoadPanel(0,"filename.tui",1) works on WIndows but throws error -46 on Linux.
Whereas LoadPanel,0,"filename.uir,PANEL) works fine on Linux & Windows but the fonts are very hard to read on Linux.
Is there a table somewhere mapping the VAL_FONT attribute magic numbers to corresponding fonts on Windows and Linux?
It'd be nice to have some guidance on the default font mappings. But at the end of the day, I don't really care much about fonts unless the defaults are hard to read.
I guess one other potential complication is the UIR file originally came from CVI 8.5, but CVI 2010 for Windows didn't say anything about needing to "convert" it. Perhaps one of the attributes in the tui file is not valid on Linux, but is on Windows?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Loading TUI files in Linux it's an issue that we have recently discovered and it did not made it yet to the known issue list. I'm not 100% sure but I believe a workaround to that problem would be to go and manually edit that tui file and remove those attributes that generates errors. You can begin with ATTR_TITLEBAR_STYLE and then look if one of the following are in the tui file: ATTR_DS_BIND_PLOT_STYLE, ATTR_DS_BIND_POINT_STYLE, ATTR_DS_BIND_LINE_STYLE, ATTR_DS_BIND_PLOT_COLOR and delete them. Then try to load the tui file again.
On the other hand I think there is a workaround for your original problem: the predefined fonts (VAL_DIALOG_METAFONT) looks bad on Linux. I believe there is a way a user can change the underlying font and the size of a predefined font. In windows you can change it in the registry but in Linux you can define an environment variable: XAPPLRESDIR that points to a directory that should contain a file named cvi, a file where you can write font settings. Each line has to be of the following format: <appName>.<key>:<value>. If you want the settings you're writing to be persistent for all applications the put a "*"instead of the application name.
The list of possible key is: appFont (NIAppMetaFont), menuFont (NIMenuMetaFont), dialogFont (NIDialogMetaFont), editorFont (NIEditorMetaFont), messageBoxFont (NIMessageBoxMetaFont).
The value have to be of the following form: --
Here is the only line I have in the cvi file: *.dialogFont : adobe-helvetica-19

Spotify 1.0.11 beta for Linux is out, with 32-bit binaries!

Hello Linux users!
Today we've released Spotify client version 1.0.11 for Linux. There are some big changes in this version, and it's still considered to be a beta release, and will be in beta until the items in the "known issues" list below are resolved. If you want to try out this version, installation instructions remain the same as for the other betas:
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
or if you have a previous version installed, simply:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Since the previous public release (version 1.0.9), we've made the following Linux-specific changes:
32-bit binaries are now available! Now users on i386 systems can try out the 1.x betas as well. Please reply to this thread with any technical problems that you encounter on that architecture.
libnotify is now an suggested package dependency. If you don't have that library installed, this feature will simply be unavailable.
Updated application icon in the spotify.desktop entry
GPU acceleration is disabled (see below)
This build ships with the following limitations, of which we are still currently working on:
Proper dbus support for MPRIS MediaPlayer2
There is no application menu
It is not possible to re-enable GPU acceleration through the settings
Important: regarding GPU acceleration, this is now completely disabled in the client, and we do not yet have a way to enable it in the preferences. This change was originally made in Chromium for Linux, but since the Spotify client uses CEF, we inherited this change from them. According to the Launchpad bug report, faulty GPU driver support was the single largest cause of crashes for Chromium on Linux (this graph shows how Chromium crashes on Linux have dramatically decreased after the setting was changed).
Depending on your hardware and GPU drivers, this change is either going to be a big annoyance for you or a huge blessing. For our users who experienced frequent and strange crashes with the client, this change will probably greatly increase client stability. For other users with certain video cards, scrolling performance and redraw rates may be noticeably choppier. Some users won't notice anything at all.
The obvious solution here is that our Linux client needs a toggle to manually re-enable this feature in the settings. Exposing this feature is not as straightforward as you might believe, or else we would have done it already. ;) However, we're working on a way to do just that, and hopefully will have something in place for the next beta release.

And if there are more than 1 song queued, the windows client removes all but the first one. From Android it works almost always. This is the only complaint I have with the Linux version but it's kind of a deal breaker when using it soley as an headless music player.This sounds like a bug, and a non Linux specific one at that. I'll look into this, however there are some changes to the player stack which will also effect connect that we are just rolling out. These changes will not require a client update, so there is a chance that you'll notice this behavior "magically" fix itself in the upcoming weeks.

Is there really a Cisco VPN client for Linux? _Really?_

Hello folks,
 I've finally after almost experiencing a brain aneurysm by trying to think too hard got my Cisco 881-SEC-K9 router properly configured for a multipoint IPSec VPN tunnel to my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, so that hurdle is finally passed and I actually feel it was a very important milestone in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non-stink... erm.. I mean, non-linksys router. Now I just can't seem to find a 'client' VPN program for Linux. I'm currently running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it's the only Linux distribution that completes all of my strenous requirements in a Linux server environment. It's also the most mature, and secure Linux on this planet, making it the most appreciable Linux distribution for my research needs. Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a basic Linux server environment, and OpenVPN is just too confusing to comprehend for my tiny little head. I've heard mention of some mysterious "Easy VPN" but after hours of digging online can't find any information about it, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page Not Found error. I do see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is that an actual VPN client, or just an API? It seems to want my money to download it but I don't have any money nor do I really know what it is because it's all secretive-like, closed source, and I can't even find a simple README file on it explaining what it is exactly. I'm just an out-of-work software developer trying to connect to my home router for personal use and I can't really afford to fork over a million and a half dollars for a single program that I'm only going to need to download once in my lifetime that should have been included with the router in the first place. I more than likely won't even be able to figure out how to use the program anyways because I don't know anything about VPN connections which is why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the not-for-profit open source, volunteer research I'm presently trying to conduct. Is there some kind of evaluation or trial period for personal use? That would be really nice so I could at least figure out if I'm going to be able to figure it out or not. I hate throwing money away when it's in such short supply these days. There's really no alternative to a Cisco router. It's an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so trying to settle for something else and going on with my life is not really an option. No, this is something I just need to face head on and get it over with.
<Rant>
 Maybe I have a little too much crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn how to do something for personal reference, it's not really a skill I would ever use otherwise. Wouldn't it be great if Cisco made their VPN client open source and free to the public to use and modify, to improve on, to learn and to grow and bring the whole world closer together as a community? Even the source code to the old discontinued Cisco VPN client could be used as a valuable learning tool for some poor starving college student or Open Source Software developer somewhere trying to get by on Ramen Noodles and Ramen Noodle Sauce on Toast (don't tell me you never thought about it). Through the ripple effect, It would drastically improve sales over the course of time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where those who previously could not afford to participate now could. That's the true power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled work force for the future by openly contributing and sharing knowledge together. What if the next big internet technology and the solution to world tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - were locked in the mind of an unemployed software developer who couldn't afford to upgrade their cisco router software or access the software they needed because it was closed source and required committing to an expensive service contract to download? That would be just terrible, wouldn't it? I guess there's no way to ever know for sure. I suppose I'd be just as happy if some kind soul out there could point me to an easy to use alternative to an always on VPN connection that runs in the background which doesn't require NetworkManager or having to spend days upon days digging through and trying to comprehend either some really poor or extremely complex documentation? I apologize for all the run on sentences posed as questions, but I've just got some serious mental burnout from all of this, being unemployed is some hard work folks. I could really use a vacation. Perhaps a camping trip to the coast is in order after I get this working, that sounds nice, doesn't it? Nothing like a good summer thunder storm on the ocean beach - far away from technology - to refresh the mind.
</Rant>

I do tend to talk too much and I don't mince any words either. What I am however, is really appreciative for the help. I know you hear that all the time, but you have no idea how much time and headache you just saved me. I think vpnc might be just what I've been looking for, unless someone can think of a client for Linux that I might be able to throw a little further. I'm very security minded now, after the backlash of Blackhat 2013, there's no telling which direction the internet might head next. Oh, you didn't hear? Well wether they realize it or not, DARPA basically declared war with other government agencies by releasing their own version of a spy program for civilians to use against the whoever -- possibly even the governmnet itself. They even went so far as to suggest it's private usage to blanket entire cities in information gathering. Civilians are a powerful foe, as they are not bound by the oath of office, any evidence they obtain is admissible in court, wether they know that or not. There's a very important reason for that. It's to prevent another civil war from ever happening, we shed enough blood the first time around less people forgot. It's something that can and will be avoided because our civilization has advanced beyond the need for bloodshed. The courts have to obey the majority rule, no matter what. For the first time in history, cyberwarfare can reach into the physical world to cause serious damage to physical structures like the nuclear facility incident in Iran. There's scarry bills trying to sneak through congress that are changing the landscape of technology forever for the entire world. We're at a pivotal point now where things can happen. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade or so. No matter which way you look at it, just be preparerd to sell a whole lot of routers.

FormsCentral PDFs not working for Linux and Unix users

I recently created a PDF (using Indesign > Acrobat IX Pro > Formscentral [AFC]) that includes radio buttons, form fields, linked videos set to play in the PDF once clicked and (after running through AFC) a submit button.
The form has been distributed and we have already had hundreds of successful responses collected in the AFC site, all is working well there.
One major problem we are having is that we have a lot of Linux/Unix users and the response from them is that they can't activate the videos, the form fields are out of kilter alignmentwise and the submit button does not work. Even when using the proper Adobe Acrobat Reader (v9, for example).
Is the Adobe development team aware of problems such as these for Linux/Unix platforms and is there a suggested fix that they know of?
The link to the actual file is here: http://cms.iopscience.iop.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/b5a48eac-8642-11e2-8cf8-e 50acbc9fd86/NJP-Video-Abstracts-Competition-2013.pdf
Thanks in advance

Hi Jesse,
can you email me ([email protected]) the original PDF (before you imported it in FormsCentral)? Also, I'm curious about the format of the video in the PDF. Does the video in the PDF worked in Linux/Unix before going through the FormsCentral import/export?
When I look at your PDF on my Red Hat Entrprise Linux 6.0 system with Reader 9.5.4 it does look fine (location of the fields) but the video generate an error (which I'm still investigating). I have not yet try the submit button on your form (as I don't want to submit bad data to you) but I seem to have an issue with the submit button on other PDF forms I generated (when I try to submit from a linux machine). Still investigating that as well.

Schedule of 8.1.6 for Linux

I just noticed 8.1.6 for Solaris is available. How about for Linux? Will it
still free to be download?

did you have your oracle database running?
01034, 00000, "ORACLE not available"
// *Cause: Oracle was not started up. Possible causes include the following:
// - The SGA requires more space than was allocated for it.
// - The operating-system variable pointing to the instance is
// improperly defined.
// *Action: Refer to accompanying messages for possible causes and correct
// the problem mentioned in the other messages.
// If Oracle has been initialized, then on some operating systems,
// verify that Oracle was linked correctly. See the platform
// specific Oracle documentation.

John -
You are missing some required Linux files. When you install
Linux, pick the 'everything' option, then weed out the obvious
things you don't want (like the Serbian How-To's, etc.)
I say this because I ran into the exact same thing this past
weekend after picking and choosing which packages to install for
Linux. After re-installing with the 'everything' option, the
Oracle install went swimmingly. I wish I could tell you which
package in particular you are missing, but I never figured that
out.

8.0.1 Patch for Linux has no installer?

So I've downloaded the 8.0.1 update for Linux and Windows.
The windows version is an installer but the linux version is just a
zip file with no instructions?? I've been running CF on both
Windows and Linux for six years and the Linux updaters were always
executable .bin files. I've got no idea what to do with this zip
file. It has no readme, and no identifiable directory structure.
Anyone know how I can apply this to my production linux
server? Thanks for any help.
Adobe, how about a readme or some kind of instruction for
these patches if they aren't installers?

Thanks to Jochem to answering this in another post. The .zip
file is
actually an executable linux installer. Go figure. Thanks for
confusing the heck out of me and wasting my afternoon Adobe.
Why didn't
you just name it .bin like you have in all the years past?!
Sheesh!
