Ruby "require 'tk'" segfault on 64-bit

Using the latest ruby (1.9.3_p392-1), tcl (8.6.0-3) and tk (8.6.0-1) on 64-bit, I get a segfault every time I try to do "require 'tk" from ruby. (On a 32-bit system with the same package versions, there's no problem).
Is anyone else seeing this? So far the only place I've seen other reports is in the Programming Languages class on Coursera, where a few other Arch users (and at least one Gentoo user) are having the same problem.

I'm having the same problem with Ruby (2.0.0_p247-1), tcl (8.6.0-4), and tk (8.6.0-1) on x86_64. 
In the middle of re-building Ruby (same version) using abs and configuring to run on x86 hosts--I actually don't know if that'd work, but since you said that the problem seems to be isolated to 64-bit installs of Ruby... then perhaps compiling Ruby as 32-bit could be used as a temporary work around?  I'll let yall know if it works.

    Hello mike_farhat.  I understand you're looking for drivers for your G6.
    Unfortunately there are no drivers available specifically for Windows 7 32-bit.  However, here is a link to the drivers for Windows 7 64-bit.
    Another thing you could try is to install both the HP Software Framework and HP Support Assistant.  Then you can run HP Support Assistant and the application will scan your PC and automatically download and install any drivers which are available.
    I hope this helps.  Have a great day!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

  • Why was I required to load the 32 bit version of LR4.3 on my wife's Windows 8 Laptop?

    I was setting up my wife's new windows 8 laptop with LR 4.3 and during the installation, I was informed that only the 32 bit version could be installed. It appears as though it performs much slower than windows 7 computers. Other programs installed seem to run at the same speed or faster. Is it due to windows 8 and will windows 8 Pro allow the installation of the 64 bit version??

    You installed the 32bit version of Win 8 - or at least LR4 thinks so. Verify that. If yes, then everything is as it should be. If not, something went wrong, but we'd need a lot more info...

  • Server 2012 Distribution Point - Is BITS Required ?

    Hi All,
    I have deployed a Distribution Point on Server 2012, i went through the documentation and there was no mention of BITS being a prerequsite...
    So my Question is - Do we still need to install BITS as a prereq for the Distribution Point Role on a Server 2012 box.
    Cheers

    There still seems to be some contradictions on whether you are supposed to install BITS or not when setting up a Distribution Point.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712264.aspx under the section
    "To install Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 computers"
    clearly shows for Windows Server 2008 R2, select the
    Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS) check box. 
    If you look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SiteSystemRolePrereqs under the Distribution Point prerequisites, there
    is no mention of installing BITS unless we are to assume the statement "You can use the default IIS configuration" means to select BITS as described above?
    Plus the following note under Additional prerequisites is as clear as mud.
    Note
    With System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the distribution point site system role does not require Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). When BITS is configured on the distribution point computer, BITS on the distribution point
    computer is not used to facilitate the download of content by clients that use BITS.
    Most of us understand the client facilitates the BITS downloads but is there still a need for the
    BITS Server Extensions and the only way to get those on a Server 2008 R2 box is to select the
    Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS) check box?    

  • Pull Distribution Point Requirements (BITS?)

    We have recently migrated to all SCCM 2012 infrastructure. All of our recent deployments are Server 2012 but we have a lot of Server 2008 R2 64bit. There is a lot of documentation online and some say BITS is required for DPs and some say not. Our packages
    have been struggling to reach our DPs and Pull DPs. Does anyone have any opinion if BITS should be installed on DPs or Pull DPs. I know I have read that BITS is not required on Server 2012 however it states nothing about Server 2008 R2 64bit. Any opinion or
    experience would be helpful. 

    Nothing specific to Pull DP...
    Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_Win2k12SiteSystemPrereqs
    With System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the distribution point site system role does not require Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). When BITS is configured on the distribution point computer, BITS on the distribution point computer is
    not used to facilitate the download of content by clients that use BITS
    A pull-distribution point is considered to be a client when it accesses another distribution point to obtain content.

  • "Invalid Binary" error on app. Apple's reason is "Missing 64-bit support" due to changes from Feb 1st 2015

    Hello
    Can anyone help me with an "Invalid Binary" error on my app.
    Apple's response is:
    Dear developer,
    We have discovered one or more issues with your recent submission for "DPS Notes". To process your submission, the following issues must be corrected:
    Missing 64-bit support - Beginning on February 1, 2015 new iOS apps submitted to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK. Beginning June 1, 2015 app updates will also need to follow the same requirements. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
    Once these issues have been corrected, use Xcode or Application Loader to upload a new binary to iTunes Connect. Choose the new binary on the app’s Details page in My Apps on iTunes Connect, and click Submit for Review.
    Regards,
    The App Store team
    Can someone from the Adobe DPS team let me know how I can recreate the .ipa file so that it will meet Apple's requirements.
    They seem to have moved the goalposts since I created the original .ipa file in December. I thought I'd submitted it, just went back through iTunes Connect to check info as I hadn't heard anything from them, then hit this brick wall. Any help offered would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rebecca

    Hi
    I've Updated App Builder, gone back to the DPS App Builder portal, regenerated new zip and ipa files and downloaded them.
    I clicked the Application Loader 3.0 link, downloaded the latest Appication Version, clicked on the "Deliver your App" button, and submitted the newly built App that was built using 32.4.2 version. (All the app icons were listed as "stored on server" so I presume they are all ok). The .zip file appeared to 'deliver' to Apple successfully. I've tried to resubmit it but get ta "Redundant Binary Upload. There already exists a binary upload with build version..." error message, so presume the orginal binary upload was successful. I have no idea how I can get this app from the "prepare for submission", to "in review". The last time I thought I'd submitted this app I got as far as the "waiting for review" status, and no further.
    At the moment I don't have a"+" button in the Build section - as mentioned on page 66 of Adobe's Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf.
    So I can't add the new .zip file to the iTunes Connect > My Apps portal in the Build section of the Versions tab.
    I have put a support email into Apple, but don't expect a reply any day soon.
    The problem with starting all the way back through the App wizard is that I really want to use all the same App Name, Bundle ID, and details etc.
    Do you mean, going back to the Folio Producer Panel, and building a whole new App?
    This process certainly isn't for the faint-hearted!
    HELP!

  • PROBLEM with 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC that worked fine until I plugged in two

    I'm using a late 2008 15" Macbook Pro that I bought Jan 2009 right before the SD card models came out. Mac OSX 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 are installed. I have a Nuforce Icon HDP and a CEntrance DACport 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC (external sound cards) that still work great right now. Note - 16 bit/44 Khz is CD quality, and these 24/96 files are hi-resolution downloads that are closer to SACD or DVD audio.
    I have been evaluating a new third 24/96 USB DAC plugged directly into the Macbook USB port (no hub) which has been working fine for over 2 weeks with 24/96 bit-rate lossless music files in iTunes. Audio Midi Setup is set for 24/96 to match the music file's resolution. After making suggestions to the manufacturer they made some improvements and sent me a new version to listen for the differences.
    I listened to the new one for a day and it worked fine, but when I plugged in the original test sample into the second USB port at the same time as the new one in order to compare them, the sound became garbled and noisy. This never happened when either one was plugged in by itself. Note, if I make changes to the DAC's bit-rate in Audio Midi Setup I usually close iTunes first and then re-open it when I am done.
    Upon hearing this new problem I unplugged both of the new USB DACs and plugged just one of them back in, but now it causes iTunes music playback to pause when one is plugged in and set for 24/96 in audio midi setup. Prior to plugging in both at the same time, either one worked just fine by itself. There is no reason when unplugging one or the other that they shouldn't start working again. But now I can't play any 24/96 music through either one anymore. In quicktime player the songs don't pause like with iTunes, but there is no sound coming through even with just one DAC plugged in at a time. Then I discovered that if I go into Audio Midi Setup application and lower the bit rate to 24/48 then iTunes will resume playing again and I can hear the music fine with iTunes or Quicktime player.
    Basically, my Macbook Pro has now lost the ability to play 24/96 bit rate with either of these new USB DACs, when they both worked fine before I plugged them in at the same time. More confusing is that they use the same USB receiver chip as in one of the DACs that I mentioned above in the first paragraph, and both the HDP and DACport still work fine at 24/96 bit-rate. It's only these two new USB DAC that require me to lower the bit rate in Audio Midi Setup to 24/48 in order to listen through them, and this wasn't a problem as recently as yesterday!
    The computer is acting like some setting needs to be wiped out - it's DEFINITELY NOT the USB DAC's that are faulty because they still both work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac (I'm afraid to try plugging in both at the same time to the iMac in case I screw that Mac up too).
    I have reset the PRAM a few times, and this doesn't fix the problem. I thought maybe the com.apple.audiomidisetup.plist file could be corrupted and deleted it, but that didn't help. I don't know what to try next to get the Macbook to start fresh when trying to use these devices, short of having to re-install OSX.
    Please, does anyone have a suggestion of how I can make the Macbook forget it ever saw these two USB DACs, and let me start fresh so they start working normally again? I do dozens of reviews for Head-fi.org and I can't afford to have my Macbook Pro compromised like this, which could prevent me from doing some reviews or evaluating new products.

    UPDATE:
    As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
    Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
    Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
    Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

  • 4th Gen Photo iPod/Windows Vista 64 bit Home/iTunes not playing nice

    I have a fourth generation photo ipod. I was using it fine and it was syncing properly on my computer using XP Professional edition.
    I just bought a new computer with 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium on it. So I installed itunes and was prepared to go through the process of clearing the ipod and resyncing it with my new computer. In this process, I encounted a lot of errors. And in addition, it would error-out just in the restore process.
    Eventually I got it to restore on the Vista computer. And now the problem I am having is that about ten songs into syncing my music library, it iTunes and my computer freeze up.
    To isolate the problem, I plugged my ipod back into my XP computer and it works fine and syncs the entire library, so I know its not the ipod. Its a problem with iTunes and Vista together when an ipod is being connected.
    Does anyone have insight on this problem or possible fixes?

    I know Vista x64 is picky about drivers. It seems there is a 64 bit installer for iTunes so I am assuming you are using that?
    "64-bit editions of Windows Vista or later require the iTunes 8 64-bit installer "
    As far as the iPod itself, maybe it also needs the 64 bit driver and perhaps the x64 iTunes will take care of that. If it does change the driver, it may not be useable in the XP senario.

  • My mac keeps saying "Update required" at boot time

    Hi,
    This is really beginning to drive me nuts. Every time I boot my Mac (ok, its not every day I do that, but still) it prompts with two options:
    1) Update Required
    2) Log on as Guest.
    When I click option 1 and enter my password, the system boots and I get the normal grey login screen and can log on using my password.
    No updates are available.
    I then shut down the mac, and everything repeats itself. I cannot get rid of this "Update required" thing and its a bit annoying that I need to logon twice every time.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks a million in advance.

  • Limitations of Quicktime files (.mov and h.264) in Windows 64-bit.

    It was recently brought to my attention (yes, I'm late to the party) that any file that requires the Apple Quicktime process for playback (decoding) is severely limiting my otherwise powerful system.  The Quicktime process is a 32-bit process, which limits your editing functionality to 4GB of RAM—even if you have 32GB or more installed!
    I'm starting this new thread because the thread on which this was brought to my attention wasn't directly related to these issues.
    A few of my questions:  Why do so many cameras create .MOV or .MP4 files that require QuickTime components?  64-bit QuickTime X has aparently been available on the Mac for quite a while, yet I presume they won't allow anyone else to develop a 64-bit codec for Windows, so why hasn't someone sued Apple for monopoly, anti-trust, conflict-of-interest, etc?  And most importantly, in a world where DSLRs and off-board ProRes recorders abound, are Windows users really stuck with no option but to transcode the footage before heavy use in Premiere?  The Atomos recorders provide the option of using DNxHD, however, if I understand correctly, that codec still requires Quicktime (I've not tested this bit).  Is there a matrix available that shows camera / recorded format / requires quicktime / 8- or 10-bit / 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, etc? 
    To my fellow Windows 64-bit editors, how do you keep your sanity when editing "natively" in Premiere .MOV, .MP4, ProRes or DNxHD with the 4GB RAM limitation?  And what camera / off-board recorder do you prefer to avoid both a long transcoding session AND get right to work with native 64-bit codecs?
    Thanks in advance!

    ...Have you read this yet?
    http://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2012/12/premiere-pro-and-quicktime-an d-nikon-oh-my.html
    Just now.  Yet, it seems to contradict my own findings.  The article says:  "In the case of Canon DSLR files, there’s something in the file header. Premiere Pro can recognize that the clips came from a Canon camera, and bypass QuickTime. This enables Premiere Pro to have smooth playback of DSLR files..."
    The test I conducted was between files from a Canon 7D in their original format vs. an AVI file I transcoded from those originals using GoPro Studio (formerly Cineform).  I load up a project and timeline with the original 7D files and then scrub the heck out of the timeline, back and forth.  I have Task Manager open in order to monitor my RAM usage.  I simply could not get past roughly 4GB.  Once I deleted all the original .MOV files from the project, retaining only the transcoded .AVIs, the project cut like butter.  The harder I scrubbed the timeline, the higher my RAM usage soared until it gradually, and gracefully came close to maxing out.  Lol.  Is there a better test I should run?
    The other test I ran was a project where I took a single talking head clip of approximately 5 minutes in length.  Nothing too taxing for the hard drive, and something that *should* be easy enough to play completely from RAM, once it played through once or twice.  I cut this clip and staggered a few tracks on top of eachother.  No effects, no transparency.  The cumulative effect was a cuts-only edit, but on the timeline my tracks looked like stairs, etc (perhaps the stairs weren't necessary).  The primary goal here was to watch how the system performed with a simple cuts-only project where Peremiere was repeatedly asked to access the same file from random locations in the file.   The .AVI version of this project, again, played flawlessly.  The .MOV version played even worse than I was expecting, since cuts-only 7D footage is usually not SO hard on the system (even if it is limited to 4GB RAM).  The .MOV project couldn't keep up.  Period.  As soon as the file needed to "jump back" on itself, the refresh rate became intolerable.
    So is the 7D an exception to the rule stated in that article?  It definitely seems to be limited to 4GB of RAM!  If it isn't, why am I seeing this?
    Also, is it possible that the footage from the 7D may not *REQUIRE* Quicktime to decode, but since Quicktime is found on my system, the 7D files default to using it anyway?
    I've not tested my GoPro footage so thoroughly, but I believe it's limited in the same way.  After a transcode to AVI in GoPro Studio, even 2.7K footage plays slick as a whistle.  Not so when I don't transcode.
    Further thoughts?

  • How do I reset Firefox to 64 Bit mode?

    Netflix required a reset to 32-bit mode, but now that I'm here, I can not reset it in Mac OS 10.6. I can get into FF's information, and check the "start in 32-bit mode" box, but I'm stuck. I can't get it OUT of 32-bit mode.

    Is this in your Google search results? You might need to delete the cookies Google has set on your Firefox.

  • 128 bit encryption

    I am currently developing a web site.
    And one of the requirements is to enforce 128 bit encryption.

    If I try to connection our web site without 128 bit encryption on my IE 5,

    So that I can send them over to https:// with 128 bit encrytion or if they
    are not compatible,
    I can give a link to them to download patch.
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Safari does have 128 bit encryption; it's the web site that's been coded to sniff for certain browsers, like IE or Firefox. Complain to your bank and tell them to fix it so it works on all standards-compliant browsers, regardless of platform.
