Re: Moving to the Cloud. LiveCodeServer on Linux CentoOS vs Ubuntu 11
I just noticed your subject line says Ubuntu 11. Why that version? Ubuntu releases follow a pattern in which new versions are released every six months, numbered according to the release date. For example, 11.04 was released in April 2011, and 11.10 was released in October 2011. Every two years the April release is a Long Term Support (LTS) version, which will continue getting updates for 5 years. The interim releases are mostly for those who want the very latest features, but have a support cycle lasting only 9 months. The LTS versions are the most popular choice for server work and institutional use, since the five-year support cycle means not having to worry about upgrading the OS for up to half a decade. Right now the two supported LTS versions are 12.04 and 14.04, and you'll find those deployed about equally on most hosting services that use Ubuntu (including Dreamhost and others; Google uses Ubuntu internally, I believe currently based on 12.04, and FWIW Ubuntu has become the most popular choice with Amazon and Microsoft Azure platforms). For new servers I recommend the latest LTS, which is 14.04. I not only use it on both of my VPSes, but also my laptop as well. Rock solid, efficient - an excellent build. A complete list of the life cycles, with EOL dates, of all Ubuntu builds is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases It would be great if Apple published a list like that. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: [OT] Wireless internet in my flat.
You could do a roundabout. Install virtualbox and a linux virtual machine, and see if the linux machine can use connect to the wifi. Sneaker net and a stick to do it. Assuming you can get it to recognize the apple wifi device, and connect successfully, you'll know that the hardware itself isn't flaky. Plus, though I've never done it, you can probably get the air to use the virtual machine as its gateway. (because everyone wants to be forced to run 2 OS's just to get internet) Or If you can find a mac compatible wifi stick (they have short profile wifi sticks that you can leave in without fear of breaking them off) perhaps that would work. Not always easy to get one working on a mac.

Re: [OT] Wireless internet in my flat.
Its probably not the answer, but if you seem to get a connect, but can't get anywhere, it may be horking the dhcp request. If you do get a connect, check your ip and see if its valid. If it is, see if you can ping by IP, first of the router, then of an outside server 199.190.151.2 should work, its a dns server in wyoming. If one works, but the other does not, confirm the default gateway is set correctly. If your ip isn't valid, set it by hand and see if that will work. ( on windows machines, when dhcp/bootp fail, they tend to default to 169.xx.xx.xx ip numbers, not sure about macs) If the connect just fails then.. You don't have mac address filtering on right? You might turn off all security momentarily and see if it will do a plain vanilla connect.

Re: iOS splash screen
Yes and you’re going to laugh… Do a screen grab of your splash screen and set that as your splash screen under the iOS settings on LC. When the app starts on the device, it will show that graphic and then immediately go to your actual splash screen… You won’t see it happen.

greyed lockText box for table in group?
I have a table in a group that may summoned to assist the user. The group is normally hidden, and has its backroundBehavior set. When made visible, the fields may be typed into. The regular fields all work, but this simple table is locked. And when I go to the property inspector, the lockText button is both checked and greyed. The group has no locktext set, and the other fields can all be used. dontWrap is also locked greyed. Focusable, focusborder, visible, showhilite, and showborder are all set. basic table and cell editing are set, cell formatting is not. I don't understand what can be happening here: as I understand things, only the group properties should be inherited, and they should be capable of being overridden.

QT and LC 5.5.5; Which LC should I update to?
I am currently using 5.5 to make Mac apps that do not employ QT. I am also started using App Wrapper 3. I noticed that each app that I code signed for the Mac I have to always to designate not to include QT as an exec. I received emails from Sam Rowland, the creator of App Wrapper about this problem. He pointed out that the version of LC (5.5.5) has QT wired into this version. He suggested that since QT has been depreciated in OS X and depends on Carbon that this will crash Mac apps. Although I have yet to have an app crash on Mavericks, which I used for development, I am concerned about this issue. So here is my question: Which LC version should I update to that is stable and does not depend on Carbon? Again, I am not interested in QT or AV Foundation since I do not use these in my apps.

Re: Moving to the Cloud. LiveCodeServer on Linux CentoOS vs Ubuntu 11
Hi Digital Ocean has a one click install for Lamp, that installs Ubuntu 14.04 along with php / mysql / apache. I have not played to much with optimizing all the settings, but there will be a few things you will have to tweak in apache to get everything running correctly. I imagine there will be a bit you can tweak on mysql aswell - depending on what you will be running. You will also have to handle hardening the server along with setting a firewall. Think I am still running 6.7, I tried upgrading it awhile ago and ran into a few problems (it was either session or post / get variables - cant remember) I would suggest trying the latest version, if there are any problems it takes only a moment to down grade. Simon On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 5:21 PM, Richard Gaskin ambassa...@fourthworld.com wrote: I just noticed your subject line says Ubuntu 11. Why that version? Ubuntu releases follow a pattern in which new versions are released every six months, numbered according to the release date. For example, 11.04 was released in April 2011, and 11.10 was released in October 2011. Every two years the April release is a Long Term Support (LTS) version, which will continue getting updates for 5 years. The interim releases are mostly for those who want the very latest features, but have a support cycle lasting only 9 months. The LTS versions are the most popular choice for server work and institutional use, since the five-year support cycle means not having to worry about upgrading the OS for up to half a decade. Right now the two supported LTS versions are 12.04 and 14.04, and you'll find those deployed about equally on most hosting services that use Ubuntu (including Dreamhost and others; Google uses Ubuntu internally, I believe currently based on 12.04, and FWIW Ubuntu has become the most popular choice with Amazon and Microsoft Azure platforms). For new servers I recommend the latest LTS, which is 14.04. I not only use it on both of my VPSes, but also my laptop as well. Rock solid, efficient - an excellent build.

iOS splash screen
I am just finishing up an iOS app. Having a bit of an issue with the splash screen/startup process. Many of the iOS apps on my phone start up by immediately showing a splash screen and then transitioning to the first main screen. From the moment I start up the icon, there is no black screen or white screen. There is only a splash screen and then the main screen. This looks clean. With my LC app, I set the first card of my stack to be the splash screen, which then transitions to the first main screen. If I then avoid setting a splash screen in the application settings area, when the app first starts, I see a black screen for about a second or two, then the first card of the stack, followed shortly thereafter by the main screen. I can't seem to eliminate that initial black screen. This is not as clean a start up process as I see with other iOS apps. If I do set a splash screen in the application settings area, the app starts up by immediately showing that screen, but then transitions briefly to a black screen, followed by the first card of my stack and then the main screen. Again, I can't seem to eliminate that black screen. Is there a way to eliminate it?

Re: greyed lockText box for table in group?
Since its a table field, the dontlock and don'twrap are that way on purpose. To edit a cell in a simple table, click, and it'll pop up an edit field. Its supposed to be that way. There are a bunch of settings required to get it to behave this way, if you want to change how this works, go to the table pane and take the check out of basic table object viola' those are ungreyed, At this point you can use it as a regular old field, but its a bit strange to use it that way.

And since he's using a VPS he can take it one step further: once he's confirmed the key is working he can turn off password login altogether, eliminating all brute force attacks and trimming his log monitoring significantly - in that tutorial it's the optional Step Four near the bottom.

Re: Moving to the Cloud. LiveCodeServer on Linux CentoOS vs Ubuntu 11
Thanks, Richard/Simon: Thanks for the encouragement... knowing that it should go well helps with the job (these migrations are tedious) 1) It's Digital Ocean we're moving to... two other sites run by the business team (minimela.com and hhe-online.org) are already over on Digital Ocean and they are extremely happy with it. Lighting fast (but the sites are very light weight) 2) Ubuntu 11 I don't know what I'm talking about (hehe)... If Simon says they are up to 14.* then that's what it will be. I've got all tweaks to httpd conf very well documented so setting up the new web service I hope will go smoothly. It's easy with VirtualMin/WebMin -- the dream machine of web server control panels IMHO (having used Plesk, Ensim, Cpanel... all of which drove me nuts) 3) Just installed keys on the current server yesterday.. really cool ! 4) I'll test with the latest LC server 7... What does it offer on the server that is significant over 6.* ? Unicode is becoming increasing important... but I think all that is in 6.7... 4) Papaya fresh yogurt, breakfast with Expresso with fresh Jersey cream and free fabulous vegetarian lunch awaits you here on Kauai if you want to come over and help me with the migration. I might even be able to get you free lodging within 5 minutes of our place. (Do you need a break?) This will be my 8th server migration in 20 years since we first moved onto a machine in Honolulu in 1995 and it looks like it will be the easiest. (VirtualMin makes it easy) Our target to complete migration by May 19... so we are giving our selves plenty of time. I'll be spinning up 16GB ram 8 Core 320GB (or more) SSD instance at Digital Ocean any day now, happy to get off this dedicated server at GoGrid. Last year it had a file system error and I was sweating for 15 hours (longest outage in 20 years) as tech kept running fsck until finally in the middle of the night it finished and we got a prompt! I never want to go thru that again. Cheers from perfect weather Kauai Actually we are going thru an very uncharacteristic drought by we don't miss all the mold and mud of the usual Kauai winter.

[Datagrid] How to change an objects owner from a Datagrid to a Card
My first real play with Datagrids and I have to say I'm very impressed. After sorting out the display and getting the first set of data into the DG (which all went very smoothly - much better than expected) I went to implement a Next and Previous buttons to move through chunks of data. To do this I duplicated the Next and Previous btns on a different Card and then using the Project Browser dragged the duplicates, one at a time, to the Card with the DG. Unfortunately, for reasons I can't explain, the Previous btn ended up on the Card, but the Next btn ended up as part of the DG. I've now spent quite a lot of time trying to drag the Next btn out of the DG and onto the Card but with no success. The 'owner' is a read only property and there is no hint on how to scriptually achieve a change of ownership. I'm looking at the Menu - Object - Ungroup Selected with fear and boding. Foolishly I didn't start my DG experiment with 2 fields and an image as per the online Lesson, but with 56 fields and some graphics in a rather complex split level display. Looking at the Application/Project Browser I see there are A LOT of objects associated with my DG that I didn't put there. So admitting I have no clue as to the internal workings of the DG the last thing I want to do is Ungroup Selected and have it all break. Any help very much appreciated. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: iOS splash screen
Ralph, I don’t know if this will help in your case but I had a similar sounding problem in one of my iOS apps. The problem seemed dependent on actions (and a visual effect) that happened during the openCard handler. When I used send in time to call these events the black flash went away. In my case waiting 10 milliseconds made the problem intermittent. 100 milliseconds seems to have cured it. Exactly what the problem was I never (unfortunately) bothered to discover.

Many of the iOS apps on my phone start up by immediately showing a splash screen and then transitioning to the first main screen. From the moment I start up the icon, there is no black screen or white screen. There is only a splash screen and then the main screen. This looks clean. With my LC app, I set the first card of my stack to be the splash screen, which then transitions to the first main screen. If I then avoid setting a splash screen in the application settings area, when the app first starts, I see a black screen for about a second or two, then the first card of the stack, followed shortly thereafter by the main screen. I can't seem to eliminate that initial black screen. This is not as clean a start up process as I see with other iOS apps. If I do set a splash screen in the application settings area, the app starts up by immediately showing that screen, but then transitions briefly to a black screen, followed by the first card of my stack and then the main screen. Again, I can't seem to eliminate that black screen. Is there a way to eliminate it?
