mine too evidently. theres loads of examples for normal physical device rules. I broke my code into 2 segments, the part that sends key strokes, and the part that gets depth mappings from the xbox kinect. when I went to combine them, it seems to break everything. Im trying to make a theremin type instrument with a synth. Im concluding that it might be better to just write a shell script using xdotool to process the stream of depth mappings. although that also sounds troublesome. heres a video, pardon my lack of editing. its writing key presses to the physical key board. https://www.youtube.…
hello all, Im trying to do a thing, and Im prolly going about it in a dumb way. I have a synth program, called helm. it takes keyboard key presses, and generates beeps and boops whatever. so then I wrote a program to send key strokes to /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd which is the actual keyboard for my laptop. this works, I can make the sounds I want. but its sub ideal, and could open up all sorts of other issues I wish to avoid, if I knew how.
in my code: int fd = open("/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd", O_WRONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
I want to ask a question but cannot. see [photo] dang, i cant upload what is this nonsense? um... ok, photo of me not being able to submit my question: http://nanocluster.umeche.maine.edu/wtf.png
The question goes like this: " I have 2 lenovo thinkpads, both running Ubuntu mate 17.10 zesty. At some point, the T430, stopped connecting to the internet. I was able to see other networks, but not able to connect to my home network. I swapped the hard drives, and am now able to connect with both laptops.
I want to call an Imacros macro from the command line. Its been forever since I have done this, and I forgot exactly how. I tried google-chrome-stable imacros://run/?m=i.iim but the macro doesnt execute
I have a HASP DRM Key that unlocks a disk image part way though boot. Can someone tell me how I can use the key to mount the disk image on a non-booting image mounted on my hard drive? (Im not sure if it will mount properly, without the DRM key)
in gcc, typedef int bool; gives this: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type ‘bool’ [-fpermissive] It compiled fine in gcc on Ubuntu 15.10, but not in Ubutnu 16.04. both are GCC5+.
Im not sure I f i should add my update as a solution to a question. The original issue is solved, but there are still problems. http://askubuntu.com/questions/787555/compiling-cheese-from-source-fails-to-compile
I want to compile cheese from source, (I have a change I would like to apply) but autogen.sh fails with errors. is this an AU worthy question? Im trying to compile this source on Ubuntu 15.110
I have my laptop set up with an extended display in Ubuntu mate.
when I add the screen, all my desktop Icons move to the extended portion. How do I prevent that from happening? I have been using Display under System -> preferences -> hardware -> displays.

What stack exchange would I go to to ask for help identifying hardware? I went to electrical engineering but they didn't like those questions. (despite it being directly related to my work as an electrical engineer)
wow, great discussion, and I appreciate the answers, This is indeed for a lasercutter, I dont know if I mentioned that, red (FF0000), and blue(0000FF) are control colors in the application I use. The application offers no editing features, it simply interprets vectors such as svg or a variety of other formats. inkscape is free, and I can read svg text reasonably well. I have cut open ended vectors in the past, and this was my intent.
Instead what happend was that the cutter hit the out of bound segments, and slipped on the belt forcing the text down into the hexagons. I could have correct…
