run-program to launch alsaplayer in sbcl - sbcl

The sbcl instruction:
(run-program "/bin/ls" '() :output *standard-output*)
works fine on my box :squeeze _Debian_. However I can't run :
(run-program "/usr/bin/alsaplayer CD.cdda" '() :output :stream)
I think that :out :stream option is not aproppiate for this case, but can someone tell me what are the good options ?
Thanks in advance.

If you're not interested in the output, try
(run-program "/usr/bin/alsaplayer" '("CD.cdda"))
or, if you still want to use your lisp repl while the music is playing,
(run-program "/usr/bin/alsaplayer" '("CD.cdda") :wait nil)
See SBCL Manual Sec. 7.4.3 Running external programs.
Also, include some output/error message so that people can better diagnose the problem.

How to get job and telescope command on chrome's V8 x64.release version? (No symbol "_v8_internal_Print_Object" in current context)

I'm trying to get chrome's V8 (d8) x64.release version to use the V8 support tools in GDB, specifically for the job and telescope commands (predominantly the former).
My x64.debug version has this implemented and works, but even after building the x64.release version in a similar manner I still cannot get these commands to work in the x64.release version. The output is always as:
gef➤ job 0xd98082f7b51
No symbol "_v8_internal_Print_Object" in current context.
I have set args.gn before, and after building via ninja -C to include v8_enable_object_print = true in my args.gn:
is_debug = false
target_cpu = "x64"
use_goma = false
v8_enable_object_print = true
v8_enable_disassembler = true
I also have my ~/.gdbinit containing:
source ~/Desktop/tools/v8/tools/gdbinit
source ~/Desktop/tools/v8/tools/gdb-v8-support.py
See: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/refs/heads/main/tools/gdbinit (for the support tool I'm trying to build V8 with).
How can I get my /v8/out.gn/x64.release/d8 to run with compatibility of the job command?
Am I missing something here? If so your help would be very helpful.
EDIT Alternatively how can I disable all x64.debug V8 DCHECKS?
Thanks all, appreciate your time here.
How can I get my /v8/out.gn/x64.release/d8 to run with compatibility of the job command?
I'm not sure. Try adding symbol_level = 1 (or even symbol_level = 2) to your args.gn. That definitely helps with stack traces, and might also be the thing that lets GDB find the _v8_internal_Print_Object function by name.
Alternatively how can I disable all x64.debug V8 DCHECKS?
There is no flag to disable them, but you can edit the source to make them do nothing. See src/base/logging.h.

chip is not found in the working and built in folder- Nand2tetris

why does the hardware simulator respond this way error code: chip is not found in the working and built in folder while trying to load the chip. I get similar errors with Mux4way16 and Mux8way16. Does someone know where the problem might be? thanks!
CHIP Mux{
IN a, b, sel;
OUT out;
PARTS:
// output depending on sel=> and(sel,a)= sela, and(not(sel),b)= sel'b => or(and(sel,a), and(not(sel),b))= sela + (sel)'b
Not(in= sel,out= notsel);
Nand(a= notsel,b= a,out= out1);
Nand(a= sel,b= b,out= out2);
Nand(a= out1,b= out2,out= out);
}
Your code appears to run correctly on my computer. It is likely that for some reason, your And, Or or Not implementations are not being found by the hardware simulator (or do not compile properly).
You may also wish to recode your Mux implementation using only Not and Nand (or just Nand), it requires fewer gates.

BigBlueButton sound issue - can't join with audio neither listening (ICE error 1004)

I am using BigBlueButton with canvas. I installed it using the script provided on their Github page, namely:
wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -w -a -v xenial-22 -s bbb.example.com -e info#example.com
The problem is whenever I create a conference and join it. I couldn't use the audio neither listening.
When clicking on join with microphone, an error pops-up saying:
Failure on call (reason=ICE error) (error 1004)
And when I click on the Listen only, nothing happens.
I consulted the logs but nothing useful, I suspected some sound errors due to host configuration but I am not able to get things clear. Maybe some of you could have an idea about which logs to consult.
I suspect it is a problem related to FreeSWITCH, I followed a setup here about setting up FreeSWITCH with a firewall (even though I don't use a firewall but BBB config indicates that it considers a firewall) but nothing changed.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
In my case I fixed this by commenting the line containing (voiceBridge=...) In app/models/bigbluebutton_conferenfe.rb.
You saved my life. The file younes is talking about is from Canvas LMS. If you followed the official installation instructions, this file should be in /var/canvas/app/models/big_blue_button_conference.rb. You will need to restart the application (or if you don't know how, the server) for the change to take effect.
The line to comment in context:
current_host = URI(settings[:default_return_url] || "http://www.instructure.com").host
send_request(:create, {
:meetingID => conference_key,
:name => title,
# :voiceBridge => format("%020d", self.global_id),
:attendeePW => settings[:user_key],
:moderatorPW => settings[:admin_key],
:logoutURL => (settings[:default_return_url] || "http://www.instructure.com"),
:record => settings[:record] ? "true" : "false",
:welcome => settings[:record] ? t("This conference may be recorded.") : "",
"meta_canvas-recording-ready-user" => recording_ready_user,
"meta_canvas-recording-ready-url" => recording_ready_url(current_host)
}) or return nil

Getting AIR stacktraces in ipad for release build [duplicate]

I'm trying to debug an issue on a clients machine. The problem is that the problem is a runtime error with very little clue as to where it is. It is an intermittent problem. I know ADL allows me to run the application in a debug mode. The problem is that to tell the user to download and manage the ADL invokation is going to be very difficult. It would be a lot easier if I could just give the end user one install/executable to install and run and then send me the trace of the issue. So what I'm looking for is easy steps for the client to be able to run the AIR app in debug mode. Downloading ADL and finding the install location of the app is going to be difficult to manage remotely with the end user.
Update:
You have to make sure you are working with AIR 3.5 and Flash 11.5 and also include the following flag "-swf-version=18" in additional compiler settings. You then have to catch the global error as mentioned in the answer and it will show you the location of the error. No line numbers of course. Just routine names. Thanks a milion to Lee for the awsome answer.
not a direct answer but if you publish for AIR3.5 (or 3.6 beta), you can get some debug info:
add a listener for uncaught RTEs to top level of your app:
this.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR, globalErrorHandler);
and grab debug info from error in listener:
function globalErrorHandler(event:UncaughtErrorEvent):void
{
var message:String;
//check for runtime error
if (event.error is Error)
message = (event.error as Error).getStackTrace();
//handle other errors
else if (event.error is ErrorEvent)
message = (event.error as ErrorEvent).text;
else
message = event.error.toString();
//do something with message (eg display it in textfield)
myTextfield.text = message;
}
getStackTrace will return a stack trace even for release AIR apps (as long as you use AIR3.5 or above).
Without the SDK Tools; I don't think it is possible to run an aIR app in debug mode. But, here are a few alternatives to consider:
The client must have some idea what is going on to cause the error, right? Can you give them a special build with Alert Boxes or logging or something to help isolate the error to a line of code?
Can you listen for the uncaughtException event? The event will give you the full stack trace ( Error.getStackTrace() ); which you could then log--possibly with other information. Then you just have to tell your client to "Go here" and "send me this file." Or even display the info in some Alert and have the user copy and paste it into an email to you. More info on uncaughtException here and here
check my post. Maybe it helps you to get stack trace with line numbers in a AIR release build.
How can I get stacktrace for Adobe AIR global runtime errors in non-debug mode?
I use it in 2 big projects right now and it works very well.

NPAPI plugin does not show in about:plugins in google chrome

I have gone through the questions in this forum regarding this issues, but I have not found any query related to the kind of issue that I am facing. I have written a NPAPI plugin which works fine with GtkLauncher (comes with webkit) and firefox, but with google-chrome (18.0.1025.151), the plugin is not even showing up in about:plugins. I am running on Ubuntu 10.10.
When I am loading the plugin in google-chrome, in the browser I am getting failed to load plugin error but nothing is shown on the console. I doubt whether my NP_Initialize function is getting called.
Here is the NP_Initialize code:
-------------------------------
NPError OSCALL
NP_Initialize(NPNetscapeFuncs *npnf
#if !defined(_WINDOWS) && !defined(WEBKIT_DARWIN_SDK)
, NPPluginFuncs *nppfuncs)
#else
)
#endif
{
MEDIA_DEBUG_PRINT("\nwcf Media plugin: NP_Initialize");
if(npnf == NULL)
return NPERR_INVALID_FUNCTABLE_ERROR;
if(HIBYTE(npnf->version) > NP_VERSION_MAJOR)
return NPERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION_ERROR;
npnfuncs = npnf;
#if !defined(_WINDOWS) && !defined(WEBKIT_DARWIN_SDK)
NP_GetEntryPoints(nppfuncs);
#endif
return NPERR_NO_ERROR;
}
NPError OSCALL
NP_GetEntryPoints(NPPluginFuncs *nppfuncs)
{
MEDIA_DEBUG_PRINT("\nwcf Media plugin: NP_GetEntryPoints");
nppfuncs->version = (NP_VERSION_MAJOR << 8) | NP_VERSION_MINOR;
nppfuncs->newp = nevv;
nppfuncs->destroy = destroy;
nppfuncs->getvalue = getValue;
nppfuncs->event = handleEvent;
nppfuncs->setwindow = setWindow;
return NPERR_NO_ERROR;
}
I know there is a Firebreath framework for cross browser development which I have plan to use but at present I need to get my plugin running on chrome.
Can some one please help me to solve my issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Souvik
Chrome tends to be a bit pickier about how things start up. I don't see anything here that would be likely to cause your issue, but Chrome is notorious for rejecting plugins that don't behave as it expects. Most likely your issue is later on; you say you doubt that your NP_Initialize is getting called, if I were you I'd verify that. Have it write to a file in /tmp/ or something to make sure.
Also you haven't provided any of your other entrypoints such as NP_GetPluginVersion or NP_GetMimeDescription. Those are needed as well for a linux plugin and could very possibly be responsible for an issue like this. For reference, take a look at FireBreath's X11 entrypoint file.
Finally, it's possible that the way you installed the plugin it is found by mozilla and not by chrome; how did you install it?
If your plugin isn't showing in chrome://plugins, then it's failing during the initial plugin scan. Try running with the --debug-plugin-loading flag, which should give you a log statement at the point where registering your plugin is failing.
