[eq-dev] Newbie eqPly Trouble

[Stephen Furlani]

Hello,

I'm running just ./eqPly and I can't get the statistics overlay to show.  Typing 's' or 'h' just types into the Terminal (in order to quit, I have to ctrl-c instead of pressing 'esc').  I can click and drag the object and move it around the screen, but Equalizer doesn't seem to be responding to the keyboard.

I used to be able to, when I first compiled equalizer, interact with it.  But since I've been using some --models and additional -- --eq-configs it stopped interacting.

I made sure the node was an appNode {...} and tried removing swapbarriers {} from the config file, but to no avail.

I'm running build Equalizer 0.9 on Mac OS 10.6 with 4x GeForce GT 120s.

Then your windows don't have keyboard focus. Iirc you are on Mac - you have to launch ./build/Darwin/bin/eqPly.app/Contents/MacOS/eqPly to get focused (or create a full .app bundle and double-click this).

HTH,

Stefan.

Thanks Stefan, that did the trick. I was using an executable from the
./build/Darwin/bin/ directory.

I'm having a little more difficulty in setting up the "2-node.2D.eqc"
example. Do I need to request fixed IP addresses from my Sys Admin or can I
use names like "macpro-1.local" or "macmini-1.local"?

This is what is in the logfile on the MacPro (eqServer and eqPly launcher)

bash:
%h.%n.log#39#60000#1#TCPIP#102400#10.10.5.103##0##3#/Users/slate/Documents/equalizer/build#1413665D-C6E7-4AC6-A481-2421C189F363#256#4743A11F-B04B-443B-86EE-778A5D6F693C##39#60000#1#TCPIP#102400#localhost##4743##:
No such file or directory

even though I know that /Users/slate/Documents/equalizer/build/ exists on
10.10.5.103 ("macmini-1.local")...

I feel like I'm missing something rather important...

Thanks,

Stephen Furlani

You can use names like that, as long as the resolve to an IP which is reachable from all nodes.

This is weird, and looks like something goes wrong in executing the launch command on the remote node.

You should see the command the server tries to execute before this print. Try to figure out what goes wrong with this command.


HTH,

Stefan.
