World: r3wp

I've always thought that a gfx engine built in Cheyenne would have 
brought a nice added value, but it seems that using View is just 
too much trouble on anything else than Windows.

Send Carl a priority feedback ...

for windows it's very nice to have a taskbar icon and all, but when 
you run on server I want no view.. I have just command line on all 
servers anyways

so how do you interact with running servers?

browser interface?

I don't interact.. are there any interaction possible (I know for 
reload config and restart workers on windows)

My intent with providing a View kernel for Cheyenne was to use it 
as a general purpose image generation library. But as it fails to 
accomplish the most basic job of making decent thumbnails, and is 
quite painfull to run when the required dependencies are not satisfied, 
it's maybe better to get rid of it.

are there any interaction possible (I know for reload config and 
restart workers on windows)

 Similar interactions are possible on all platforms. For non-Windows 
 systems, use signals :
- reload config: kill -HUP <cheyenne-pid>
- reset workers: kill -USR1 <cheyenne-pid>
- quit: kill <cheyenne-pid> (or CTRL-C if running in foreground)

Graham: thanks, I'll try that...I thought that SDKs are supposed 
to be released with each new R2 version?

supposed to be ...

For thumbnails I have Imagick binding.. But I must test it with Cheyenne 
yet.

I just use call with imagemagick ... opn cheyenne

but windows though

CALL on a third party exe works, but that's not a solution able to 
scale high (not talking about the induced delay of creating and closing 
a process)

I've download latest REBOL in Xubuntu. Viewtop opened without problem 
but when I switched to console, nothing appeared. Because I deselected 
"show desktop on startup", now I cannot start REBOL at all. Any ideas?

At least I can run it from console. But I still wonder why it does 
not work from icon.

There is no console for linux...must use linux console.

if you want to see viewtop start rebol from console and type desktop

Once in viewtop try changing the settings back to "open vietwtop 
on startup"

I just wonder why clicking on the icon does not open rebol in linux 
console. but i have no problem running it directly from console

it's probably simply piping to whatever console it was started from. 
since the linux desktop has no console, you won't see one.

Hm, when I select "Install now" option, I get "segmentation fault"

RAMBO it

Done, #4751.

2.7.7?

I installed 2.76 on ubuntu no prob

yes, 2.7.7

Maybe it's fine on Ubuntu, I'm using Xubuntu as the computer is really 
really old.

might be missing a library file...check the list of required libs...find 
it somewhere on rebol site???

It's just the installation, everything else seems to work fine

ldd lists dependencies in console, no?

Well, first I need to get Cheyenne running, so I'll check the dependecies 
later :)

I also installed it on a server version of ubuntu with xfce loaded 
on top...iirc had to add some libs

You mentioned older computer. Is Xubuntu less resource hungry than 
Ubuntu?

Yes, the XFCE desktop should take less memory and CPU than Gnome.

And what about Kubuntu? (KDE)

big and hungry

like gnome

heh, it's running in 856x600, I see such resolution for the first 
time

What is running?

sorry, the linux desktop

linuxians try to be always different, hence such a resolution :-)

I see :)

amacleod : I installed 2.76 on ubuntu no prob
 Which Ubuntu version?

it was a while ago...not using that box anymore.

Hello. How can I create a REBOL service in Linux (i.e, something 
that can be run as a background process much like httpd via init.d)?

I suppose you first try to create a script that is launchable via 
shell, and from then on, it should be the same as for any other service, 
depending on the distribution.

launchable = shebang line and all that stuff.

I have the #!/usr/local/bin/rebol line and such in there. The problem 
is that I'm not sure how to make the script then go into the background 
again like a daemon would do. It stays at the foreground when I call 
it from something like init.d.

do you have the quiet option enabled?
