Blender Issues.
by Rony 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hello All, I have installed Blender 2.4 for Windows along with Python 2.5.1 for a client. Blender imports the .3ds file format from 3D Studio. However, in 3D Studio, it has to be exported from .max format to .3ds first. Now what happened was that after exporting from max to 3ds into Blender, a chair has turned into a drawing board used by draughtsmen with an extra pole sticking perpendicular out of the board. Has anyone on this list had such teething problems in Blender? What could be the work around for this? I will check it out on the net too. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Rony.

Good software not only means good from inside but an easy to use and intuitive interface outside. For new users it is necessary to train them even on doze software but when pro tools are created as libre replacements to commercial closed software, then they could follow those interfaces so as to eliminate any extra training required for the pro users. > > That means it becomes slightly less crappy, usually by increasing RAM > (memory leaks), higher speed cpu (limiting cpu load), adding AV (poor > security and additional load on cpu).

Test Mail Email Problem.
by Rony 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hello All, Sorry for this test mail. I have been facing a wall when sending mails to this list. In the past few days all my mails to the list have bounced. The technical reason is a qmail error "CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)". This remained even after changing from Yahoo UK to India. Since there are many gmail users on this list, I created an id for the list too. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Problems Regarding Installing scratchbox
by swapnil kamble 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi all, I have downloaded scractchbox-core/libs/toolchain . According installation instructions I extracted those tarballs into /. So all extracted files comes in /scratchbox. Then I ran run_me_first. [root@localhost scratchbox]# /scratchbox/run_me_first.sh Do you want to use sudo mode? [yes/no] (no): Give the name of the scratchbox group (sbox): No such group! The group 'sbox' does not seem to exist! Would you like me to create the group 'sbox' for you? [yes/no] (yes): yes No such group! Creating group "sbox"... cp: cannot stat `/etc/hostname': No such file or directory Stopping Scratchbox: umount, mount: none already mounted or /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc busy mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc. Starting Scratchbox: binfmt_misc, mount. Now you should add one or more users with /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser [root@localhost scratchbox]# /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser user sbox=yes Scratchbox user account for user user added [root@localhost root]# su - user -bash: modprobe: command not found [user@localhost user]$ groups [user@localhost user]$ cd /scratchbox/ [user@localhost scratchbox]$ ./login Welcome to Scratchbox, the cross-compilation toolkit! Use 'sb-menu' to change your compilation target. See /scratchbox/doc/ for documentation. ERROR: Operation not permitted chroot(/scratchbox/users/user) [user@localhost scratchbox]$ Can Anyone tell me how to resolve this problem. Because I want the prompt of scratchbox, to carry out cross-compilation. However it error looks very logical even how a user can chroot to /scratchbox/users/user Thanks in advance. -- ...Swapnil -- ...Swapnil
