I wonder if it's because I told it it was a python3 plugin and so it will only pull build-packages from pip?

and no one is responding in IRC either, like usual.. much frustrating this is lol.

Zacharee1

Say "Is anyone here?"

someone'll respond sarcastically

Seth

I was there, remember? ;)

RPi Awesomeness

Seth

well I asked a question.

Nathan Osman

12:44 AM

At least that will help the next guy with the problem.

@Zacharee1 I think I ordered some of those from unixstickers.com.

I can't remember for sure. I had to change the order at the last minute.

Seth

@NathanOsman unfortunately snappy questions tend to language. I've found at least 4 questions in my googling about snap package issues with no answers. And they weren't bad questions either.

user139252

Seth

I almost misread that as sleazy.

well I got 2 upvotes on my question now so someone is looking at it.

chaskes

well, one was me and I don't know anything about snaps yet, but I thought it was a good question.

Nathan Osman

Bounty for this question.

Seth

@chaskes ah. well thanks :)

@NathanOsman any output if you start kdenlive from the terminal?

yes, already did

Nathan Osman

@Seth I tried - nothing.

@chaskes I wasted a bounty on a bug? :(

Q: This C program runs as expected on other computers but behaves strangely on my computer

Well this is really strange! Here is a C program to find the subsets of a given set of integers with a constant sum Here is the program : sum_of_subsets.c I am running Ubuntu-GNOME with gcc (Ubuntu 5.3.1-14ubuntu2) 5.3.1 20160413., When I run this program on my computer, (with exactly same ...

Please see what All I tried.

Seth

grr

Seth

1:51 AM

why do all my packaging attempts end in terrible, ungooglable errors -.-

Severus Tux

Oh... man... I tried in another Ubuntu, Works like hell

Videonauth

@SeverusTux mhmm seems something on your system is wrong i only get the clean output not the garbage

Severus Tux

please dont tell me that. :(

Videonauth

its hard to debug something when you cant reproduce the problem :)

Severus Tux

What is wrong with my computer??

Should I consider reinstalling?? (it did not work on LIVE)

chaskes

1:58 AM

So is the only place it doesn't work Ubuntu Gnome?

Severus Tux

I dont have any idea to start with. What can possibly wrong with my system?? some hardware problems affecting only this program?? no way. or can it be?

Videonauth

I'm really baffled (I'm on Unity 16.04 LTS) and the output i get is:

Severus Tux

@chaskes I tried it on Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 on other systems works well. But I use Ubuntu_GNOME with GNOME 3.20.

Strange thing is I booted into LIVE ubuntu (not Gnome) .. I get this stupid outout

Videonauth

michael@NEXUS-ONE:~/downloads$ ./a.out

Enter the number of elements : 5

Enter the elements in ascending order
: 1 2 3 4 5

Enter the sum :10

The solution to the subset problem is :

1,2,3,4,
1,4,5,
2,3,5,

Severus Tux

PUH...

Videonauth

2:01 AM

only thing is there is a \n missing at the end so i get my input line within the same line where the last output line is

chaskes

well, that is super annoying, but...

Severus Tux

Ah.. somebody answered it... checking..

Videonauth

Ah UB

Severus Tux

whats that??

got it

Videonauth

undefined behavior

chaskes

2:04 AM

I was going to 99% of time you get strange output it's because of bad memory access, but I was trying to figure it out without just saying UB (which most people use as an excuse for not understanding).

Still not sure why you get it on some of these systems and not others.

Severus Tux

yes... If i get similar Garbage out put on some other system, than its UB. but whay only on mine ??

Videonauth

well if he sets x[n], the array to default values as zero it should be stable

Severus Tux

trying that..

Videonauth

the problem is sometimes the programm uses empty cells which contain a zero sometimes there is stuff in it

Severus Tux

Nope.. tried that.

Videonauth

2:07 AM

same problem aṕplies if you simply malloc and think your memory will be only zero bytes

Severus Tux

int s[20]={0},d,sum=0,n,x[20]={0},top=0,i,tot=0;

but still garbage

Videonauth

ok let me check that line in my copy here

chaskes

@SeverusTux Is it always garbage on your computer with any OS but always good on another computer with any OS?

Severus Tux

This program ?? yes

only for this perticular program

chaskes

Are both computers 64bit?

Severus Tux

2:10 AM

No, It gives correct o/p for S={1,2,3,4,5} sum=4

Yes both computers 64bit

chaskes

which one give correct for sum=4?

Severus Tux

yes

severus@Tux:~/Desktop$ ./a.out

Enter the number of elements : 5

Enter the elements in ascending order
: 1 2 3 4 5

Enter the sum :4

The solution to the subset problem is :

1,3,
4,severus@Tux:~/Desktop$

chaskes

are we mixing qustions? you made it sound like on the computer that didn't work with 5, it worked with 4. Did I misunderstand?

Severus Tux

No you are correct.

On my computer, Good output for sum=4, garbage for other

On other computers, Good for all

Seth

this is ridiculous. snaps are supposed to be easy :(

Severus Tux

2:15 AM

I have exams today.. thanks everyone. I will fix this afterwards . Bye :)

If you get any leads, please ping me

chaskes

@SeverusTux Ok, here's my final thought: There's UB from a subtle, non-obvious error. (I wonder if the 2 computers have different chips.) The one comment has it right: you need to use standard debugging techniques to look at it run step-by-step to find out what's wrong the the case = 5.

Severus Tux

yes. I will do that

But I am very new to that Valgrind ..

I only used gdb , I will try with it

chaskes

Well, me too. Start with printf statements for all values at each iteration and with gdb too

printf will prob show you the problem fast but it still may take some work to figure out why

Severus Tux

yes. I will print X and S after each iteration.. , I hope there is some problem with the code. Because the only other possibility that comes to mind is there is some thing wrong with my system (may be hardware)

chaskes

also set -Wall and -Werr on command line

the compiler may be telling what's going on if you let it

Videonauth

2:23 AM

gcc -Wpedantic -Wall -Werror test1.c

Severus Tux

well I am new to that too.

severus@Tux:~/Desktop$ gcc -Wpedantic -Wall -Werror sos.c
severus@Tux:~/Desktop$

Videonauth

yep i know its not that ovious otheewise i would have said something already

Nathan Osman

3:25 AM

K, I'm totally going to take a stab at fixing that bug.

Kdenlive is, after all, a Qt app.

chaskes

It's probably something relatively simple

Nathan Osman

That's what I'm counting on.

I've found the code that creates the menu item.

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows (or simply Windows) is a metafamily of graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft. It consists of several families of operating systems, each of which cater to a certain sector of the computing industry. Active Windows families include Windows NT, Windows Embedded and Windows Phone; these may encompass subfamilies, e.g. Windows Embedded Compact (Windows CE) or Windows Server. Defunct Windows families include Windows 9x and Windows Mobile. Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985, as a graphical operating system...

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness First check if it is in the Ubuntu archives. That's your best bet. If not, the proper way to use it (if possible) is by building it as a shared library and linking against it. If it uses pgk-config you can use pkg-config to get the necessary compiler and linker flags.

To go into any further detail, I'd need to know which library it was.
