Yet Another modelsUnderRay Problem!

Hi,
I've seen a few posts about using the modelsUnderRay for
collision detection but none of them have seem to help me. I've got
a complex scene and adding collision detection to my character.
However for some reason director crashes when I render the movie. I
made sure the ray is not detecting the character which it has been
added to. Heres the code I using...
collisionList =
pScene.modelsUnderRay(pCharBoundingBox.worldPosition +
vector(1,1,1) , pCharacter.transform.yAxis,#detailed )
As you can see the starting position of the ray is not the
character position. And the collisionList is empty when its not
detecting any objects, but director still crashes
I have followed this tutorial to help get me here:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/3D/environment/collision2.asp
Has anyone has any similar problems using modelsUnderRay
before? Is there a better way for doing collision detection other
than the method the tutorial shows you for more complex scenes?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Don't think you have answered my question.
USB2 Enhanced Controller has 5 driver files listed
usbehci.sys
usbhus.sys
usbport.sys
hccoin.dll
usbui.dll
4xUSB Controllers each have 4 driver files listed
usbhub.sys
usbport.sys
usbuhci.sys
usbui.dll
5xUSB Root Hub each have two driver files listed
usbd.sys
usbhub.sys
That is what I am trying to confirm - is all this correct or have I some driver files there that are perhaps not current and/or not required?

YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
To my
surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
using
NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
machine).
I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
running
the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
non-locally?'
features?
Thanks

I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.

IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
- OS X is 10.5.6
- iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
- iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
- Address Book is 4.1.1
- iCal is 3.0.6
I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
History:
- At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
- Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
- Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
- Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
- Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
- Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
Other details:
- I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
- I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
- I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
- I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
- I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
All is well.
Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

Yet another printing problem 'EOF' errors

This problem is probably both a Leopard and Adobe problem combined. It's a rather complicated problem, but the bottom line is that (to most printers) the jobs coming out of one of our Mac Pros cause the printers to crash and restart themselves giving an 'EOF Error (End of File)' on at least one of them. The problem also appears to affect PDF documents created in InDesign which will then cause the same errors on any computer it is printed from.
Things you may need to know and that I've already tried:
• The same printers with the same drivers printing the same files will work on other Mac Pros of the same version with the same version of Leopard.
• Using a generic driver will print properly, however this is not a workaround because we need duplexing provided by the driver and I'm not sure how this could fix the PDF problem.
• Fonts have been disabled and checked with Font Doctor.
• Starting up in 'Safe Mode' will allow printing, but without fonts or links on server volumes.
• Switching the hard drive with another identical Mac Pro brought the problem with the HD, worked on other. In other words, the problem is definitely in the software and not a hardware problem.
• Reset the printing system numerous times.
• Re-installed the OS, Adobe CS3, and a couple of documents - same problem with no added extensions. Other computer with tons of extensions and fonts, etc. - no problem.
• Plain text documents print fine.
• Some PostScript documents will print, but rarely.
• Will not print to HP LaserJet 2420, Minolta Di650 Fiery, ABDick Platemaker.
• WIll print to Kodak DigiMaster (three different models and versions)
Everything that I think sounds like it could be the problem is disproved by the fact that several other Mac Pros with the exact same configuration have no problem. I'm thinking about cloning another Mac Pro system that works and seeing if I can go about it that way.
Apple support was no help. Nor was Adobe. They tried to be helpful, but there is no logic to solving this one. This has been going on for over a week now and I've tried so many things. It's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was actually just a commonly used font that had gone bad somehow. Problems like that are always fonts or links. Sometimes they just aren't as obvious. We thought we'd checked everything and it affected so many of her files because she used the font so often.

Wine and yet another font problem

So I upgraded my system (had to load lots of stuff, Xorg, Wine, the kernel..) and now my Wine fonts look like this:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/anpurola/winecfg.png
Some fonts are ok, but most of them are unreadable. I mostly run poker clients. I tried to delete my .wine directory, and install fonts again with winetricks, didn't help.
Does this have something to do with the new Xorg? I had to remove RgbPath and AutoAddDevices from xorg.conf BTW, to get it work.

Yet Another NVIDIA Problem(TM)

Since I updated XFree86 a week or so ago, it just keeps failing to initialise the NVIDIA module. I tried X.Org, which does exactly the same. Looking at the log, everything seems to start up properly with no errors, but suddenly it decides to give up, no reason given.
I have just discovered that if I uninstall, reinstall and modprobe the the NVIDIA drivers, it works! Until I reboot. Then, no matter what I try, it will not work at all! So I have to uninstall, reinstall and modprobe each time I reboot.
Very weird is all I can say.

Well, I had done that, but the point was that once I restarted, whether the nvidia modules was loaded by /etc/rc.sysinit or manually with modprobe, it would not work (but modprobe did not report any errors). The /dev/nvidia* devices do not show up.
Seems the problem is with UDev (maybe I needed to configure something for it?). I have switched back to DevFS for now, and it works again (X.Org). I had forgotten when I posted that I had also switched to UDev at the same time...
I still have another slightly related problem. I recently (yesterday) had this idea that maybe I should try get my (hardly ever used) Lucent winmodem working under Linux for the odd times I use dial-up. Drivers were easy to find (http://linmodems.org/). This worked under UDev, but then stopped working when I restarted (grr), the same as NVIDIA, whether they were in MODULES or whether I modprobe'd 'em. I actually got KPPP to dial on /dev/modem and it would have authorised had I bothered to configure PPP daemon first ;-) Didn't work under DevFS either, even though the install script had added a rule in /etc/modprobe.conf to alias /dev/modem which doesn't materialse. The device does appear at /dev/tts/LTM0 but KPPP can't dial on it.

Can you please help with yet "another" Sync problem?

I have recently changed from windows xp. I have a new computer with windows 7 and I loaded Itunes 10. There have been nothing but problems with my 5th gen nano since I have changed to my new computer.
I am unable to sync new songs; In the device section, if I click on
MUSIC; I get an error; "are you sure you want to sync music? all existing content on the Ipod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your Itunes library.
It has been frustrating, because I would like to add my playlists and sync automatically and for some reason, I am not able to. Thank you for any light you may be able to shed on this situation; Tawney.

Yet another network problem (SIOCADDRT: No such process)

After IP address of router in my apartment changed I have troubles with bringing up my network connection. I changed my gateway address and now it fails with:
:: Starting Network [BUSY]
SIOCADDRT: No such process
[FAIL]
however
$route add <gateway ip> eth0
temporarily solves the problem:
[dreamer_@dream02 ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
:: Starting Network [DONE]
any ideas how should I repair this to start my network automatically?

the only thing that changed is gateway ip (previous was 192.168.13.something). I was playing with different netmasks and broadcast ranges but it didn't help
The problem is in the lines:

If you are using DHCP the line ROUTES=(gateway) should read ROUTES=(!gateway) <-- notice the !
Hope this helps.

Yet another internet problem after updating to Leopard

After 3 attempts, I've finally got Leopard installed on my Macbook Pro (just over 18 months old, was running Tiger perfectly well) and i STILL can't get internet access.
The Airport says its connected but nothing loads at all - it won't send/receive messages, it won't load webpages, it just sits there doing nothing until eventually (often after half an hour or more) it'll tell me that the connection has timed out.
I've done the following changes as suggested elsewhere on the internet -
1. Changed IPv4 settings to manual and doublechecked these are correct - they weren't the first time round, it was inventing phantom numbers and confusing my router for the actual interwebs. So changed that.
2. Turned IPv6 to Off on both airport and ethernet
3. corrected DNS entries for the Airport - again left to its own devices it thinks the router's IP address is the DNS address. So I added the correct 2 plus the two from Open DNS for good measure. I've tried different combinations of all 4, only the router two, only the open DNS 2 and so on and so forth and it still won't work!
4. tried restarting several times after each change.
5. double checked i don't have any of the .plist files from Tiger that might be interfering.
6. checked for a trojan horse
7. checked my router is working (it is).
And, nothing worked. It's still rubbish and does nothing. I wish I had never spent the money on the stupid upgrade and am never going to do it again!
Can anyone help?!
I've got 10.5.4 and then I patched it with the 10.5.5 Combo update too. I went for an Erase and Install option too. I'm not the most mac savvy person around, so please be gentle!
TIA.

I've checked, double checked, triple checked, tested, quadruple checked... My router is working perfectly, it works with my blackberry, friends laptops, my PC... just not my Mac. All the addresses are correct - left to its own devices the laptop with Leopard on it will NOT use the correct info for the DHCP or any other address. It uses incorrect information, confusing the Router itself with the actual internet (basically all the address fields that are meant to point you at, like, "the internet" will instead just point you to the router and the router of course replies with Hey man, whaddya want? I'm just a router... so nothing happens). Changing that gave me some internet access where previously it wasn't getting any. But all webpages take forever to load - often not loading at all - and after about 10 minutes of occasionally working the whole thing will pack up.
I flat out refuse to fork out £300 for a new router just because Apple decided to make their new OS incompatible with anything but Time Capsule (as I suspect is probably the case given loads of people are having the same problems and there's been a noticeable silence on the subject from Apple). So I guess I'll be wiping the macbook AGAIN and reinstalling Tiger from the recovery disc.
Next computer - back to a windows PC! I'm sure Microsoft are loving Leopard.

Yet another routing problem :/

I'm trying to setup something like this:

|
192.168.0.2 eth0 Arch box
192.168.1.1 eth1 /

Oh boy... guess it's not a good idea to chill on a Sunday afternoon, having few beers and also tweaking Linux...
I have commited a typo which costed me about 1 hour of confusion.
Wrong setting:
eth1="eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
Good setting (after another beer):

It's all smooth now.

Re: YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

Ed,
I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.
Sounds like your print windows are inheriting their color from the desktop. You can
change this in the window workshop on the color palette. The "i" in the palette
means the window inherits it color from the desktop.

Yet another fan problem

hey everyone ... i've recently did a complete reinstall of arch on my laptop for 'maintenance' purposees. Now, while I think i've got everything pretty reconfigured exactly as it was before, there is something .. well .. different, about my fan !
Even though i'm 99% positive that ive got all /etc files setup just as they were, that ive got all necessary modules up & running, my fan doesnt seem to be responding in the same way. My CPU isnt really running any hotter than before, but because the fan doesnt react to the higher temps, it gets hotter faster than before, and takes forever too cool down after effort..
I like this laptop & paid lotsa bucks for it, and wouldnt want it to deprecate faster because of heating problems. So, what controls the fan and why might you think it fails to respond to the temps ? ...

more: ive just noticed /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state will not buldge from 'off' ...... its 'off' all the freakin time ...... dmesg says its setting state to 'D3' .......
anyway, now i got proof fan is always off. cause thing is, even when its on, its not blowing that hard, nor is it very noisy. so i wasnt sure, but now i am ...
anyways, lm sensors cant seem to find any modules for my fan. and i just cant find any info anywhere on how to get acpi to run my fan ... i guess it should be a mix of events/actions but which and how ???!>

Yet Another TShirt problem :(

Hey ppl!
I got mail from US merchandising on 21 November for contact details. I am afraid its a month since then and I havent recieved my tshirt. What should I do now??

P.S: I know this question doesnt fit well in this forum, but I didnt find any other place to discuss this, so am posting it here.

Puru,
If you have the e-mail address from Another World Merchandising, e-mail them that you never received the shirt.
If not then you can send me a mail and we'll try to see where it went along the way.

Yet another htmlText problem!

As I know htmlText has it's plethora of problems, I have been able to work around a few of them. However, after trying many different things, I cannot seem to fix this one:
<mx:Text htmlText="{_articleText}" width="100%" fontSize="12" color="0x282828" />
In the script, I set _articleText = "<img src='"+dataProvider.imageURL(_model.account.id)+"' align='"+dataProvider.imageAlignment+"' />"+dataProvider.body;
This is fine, the image aligns to the left or right and is loaded in correctly, but I notice the element cuts off 3-4 lines of text from the bottom. It just looks like it disappeared, but if you highlight and scroll down you can see that the text is there, but the element is miscalculating the height.
Apparently it is due to the measure method of text not taking into account leading? How can I work around this?
Thanks.

Oh, and one other question..
Is there any way to put a border on an image in htmltext? I suppose border="1" and padding="2" were too complex to include in the htmlText language for whatever reason, so I was wondering if there is a different way?

YASPP: Yet Another Stacksize Problem Post

Hi,
I've just installed the latest community version of Opensolaris, along with the beta of sun studio 12 on a 16-way 32GB amd64 machine. So far this machine has been running with linux+intel 9.1 compilers.
When I tried to run our openmp code, after solving a (very few) porting issues, I found out that it runs fine for the "minimal size" problems. For the minimal size code to run i have to set the stack size to at least ~45056kb (44MB).
However the medium size problem needs exactly 8 times more memory. If I try to set the stack size to 360448kb, I get an "unlimited" stack size, and the program crashes. I guess that by unlimited, the system means I have hit the maximum limit for the stack size. Is there any way to increase it?

It's a bug in the compiler. Let's look at your example program from the OpenSolaris forum:
program stack
implicit none
integer*8, parameter :: k=1024
integer*8, parameter :: s=512*k*k/4
integer,automatic :: foo(s)
integer*8 i
print*, 'allocating:', s/1024*4,'kbytes'
!$omp parallel do private(i)
do i=1,s
foo(i)=1
end do
!$omp end parallel do
pause
print*, foo(1),foo(s)
print*, 'worked'
end program
If I change s to 512k, then look at the assembly code, this is what I see:
$ f90 -O3 -m64 -xarch=sse3 ompstack.f90 -S
$ grep 'subq.*%rsp' ompstack.s
subq $32,%rsp
subq $524392,%rsp ;/ line : 1
That second "subq" instruction is reserving space on the stack for the array. Now if I restore s to 512M, I see this:
devtools-x4200-0$ f90 -O3 -m64 -xarch=sse3 ompstack.f90 -S
devtools-x4200-0$ grep 'subq.*%rsp' ompstack.s
subq $32,%rsp
subq $104,%rsp ;/ line : 1
Looks as though the code that computes the amount of space to reserve on the stack is overflowing. I have filed bug 6541518.
The program will work if you remove the "automatic" keyword from the variable declaration. Most likely, your OpenMP program will also work if you remove "automatic" keywords. Alternatively, you could change the automatic variables to local allocatable variables. Of course, you would then have to insert an allocate statement at the beginning of the procedure.
