I'm jotting down some notes for future reference as I work through fixing a bunch of file permission problems on my HFS+ partition. These are files that I've created while in Ubuntu - I store a lot...
Hi, sorry, haven't checked back in a while - I ran into this problem too and solved it by upgrading my nvidia driver. For me, I could always open 1 scene initially in Maya, but then attempting to...
Does linux HFS+ put a limit on the number of files you can create in a directory?
I'm using photorec to try and recover documents off the HFS+ partition on my triple-boot macbook. I'm storing...
I had the same problem in Kubuntu 12.04 - I can run Wunderlist using sudo, but not as a regular user. I solved it by launching once with sudo, then copying the preferences directory over to my...
And it turns out that link led me to a solution :) Thanks Archlinux Community!
Short solution:
1. edit the maya launcher script
sudo pico /usr/autodesk/maya2012-x64/bin/maya
You're doing better than I am, I can't even make Maya 2013 run at all - it just hangs, never even gets to the splash screen. But anyway ...
I looked in the Maya launch script...
I've just started playing around with the Activities feature in KDE, which seems really brilliant. I have two questions that are probably pretty simple about the "Search and Launch Activity".
1....
I'm trying to build libRocket, but I can't get it to build the Python bindings. CMake can't find Boost, apparently:
Variable Name: Boost_DIR

I have Maya 2012 installed and it's been working fine for a while now.
Today I upgraded to Precise Pangolin, and now Maya crashes whenever I try to import an image file to use as a texture.

I thought you needed a Quadro to get a stereo quad buffer - are you saying you used to be able to do it on a GeForce!? If so, then probably what happened is nvidia got wise and disabled that in the...
I know everyone says this, but the new version of Blender really is awesome. Do check it out - good interface, powerful tools, really nice. And that's from a lifetime Maya user :)
Maya,...
Thanks - I'm installing 2.8 right now. It looks like it has the three major featuress I've been waiting for for years - layer groups, in-window text editing, and single-window mode - brilliant!

I recently upgraded to 12.04 and now I'm having all kinds of bizarre problems with Gimp 2.6. I removed and re-installed GIMP, and wiped the .gimp-2.6 directory, and the problems remain. Here are a...
I have an older mac, a beige G3 tower, running Ubuntu. Works great. But I don't remember exactly how I did it :p
your iMac should be a little easier - mine is an 'old world' mac which meant...
Fixed it!
- Used gdisk to remove GPT partitions (4) and (5), and changed the type of partition 1 back to EFI
- Created a new partition (4) as NTFS
- Used fdisk to manually write the MBR...
Oh nos, it got worse.
While working out a plan for rebuilding the MBR, I figured one step I should do anyway is zero and reformat the NTFS partition (currently Windows XP, named "BOOTCAMP",...
I'm having some issues with the partitioning on my triple-boot Macbook Pro and could use some help massaging the GPT and MBR partition tables.
Now full disclosure, the end goal that I need to...
the binaries link for Ubuntu is broken on github (dev.fatalmachine.org).
I tried getting the source and compiling but got this error:
configure.ac:21: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or...
After re-installing ubuntu, I still couldn't boot. Using the Partition sync tool in Refit, (aka gptsync), I got this error:
Analysis inconclusive, will not touch this disk.
From here I...
I re-installed Ubuntu, and still can't boot it ... I still just get a black screen with a blinking cursor before GRUB loads :(
Seconded. Disk Utility is pretty weak and gives up very easily so don't be discouraged just because it can't handle its job.
Diskwarrior is a good next thing to try. I've used it to recover...
I tried it again. And also tried installing GRUB2 to the MBR, just for kicks. Now my two options in refit are worse.
Boot Linux from HD just gives me a black screen with blinking cursor (i think...
still struggling with this one ...
I booted to the 11.10 live cd and did this:
sudo mkdir /mnt/sda3
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
sudo grub-install --force --root-directory=/mnt/sda3...
I have a Macbook Pro (6,2) set up to triple boot OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows XP. I use the windows partition rarely, but naturally I eventually got a rootkit trojan on it and the repair utility had to...
