Can you both send Xorg.0.log (usually in /var/log/)?

for close this bug, we need >

the gambas documentation said http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.db/result/max 
that returns rs.cound -1 but the rs.count return -1 so this always return -1..

as ZXMARGE said many odbc layers does not provide mechanish to count and offer 
those values

if there its the case, and some implementations are planned this must be market 
in the wiki or let open this bug for now.. i'll watching it!

I noted a obvous problem here! too many mysql here! my-poor-sql its not the

Comment #3 by zxMarce:

(sorry for the delay in replying)

Hehe... you're right. But I also quoted IBM's ODBC docs for its DB2, and you 
can also check Easysoft's excellent C tutorials at 
http://www.easysoft.com/developer/languages/c/odbc_tutorial.html. Speaking 
about Easysoft, I myself made a command line ODBC tool to connect with 
ConnectionStrings and run queries in C with Easysoft's tutorials... And I 
absolutely suck at C. That good are those tutorials! 

Also, in case you didn't know, Microsoft was one of the leading forces behind 
drafting ODBC, as this quote from Wikipedia says: 

"ODBC was originally developed by Microsoft and Progress DataDirect during the 
early 1990s, and became the basis for the Call Level Interface (CLI) 
standardized by SQL Access Group in the Unix and mainframe field."

So by using their docs you know that that is the standard. Well, at least 
theirs... They suck at Windows (and OS making and privacy respecting in 
general), yes, but they sometimes pull nice tricks off their hats like ODBC. 
And that is not the only standard they helped draft. 

But anyway both MS and IBM (at least when I read the docs to make the Gambas 
component work again) were kind enough to mark clearly any deviations or 
differences from the standard in their ODBC docs. 

Hope that helps, 
zxMarce.

Re: [Gambas-user] Serial I/O with byte data

[ML]

Alex,

Without knowing the protocol/device you're communicating with, I don't
think anyone will be able to give substantial help.
But, after years of interfacing very diverse hardware via RS-232 (fiscal
printers, cash-hanlding hardware, GPS, you name it!), I can tell you
that it's not always easy, and docs sometimes lack info or are plain wrong.
Unfortunately the bulk of my experience with hardware is in VB6...
Maybe you're looking at some kind of protocol wrapper bytes... Can't
really say without the detail.

Fernando, did you try setting up a new user on your system and trying to

I don´t get this error. It runs smoothly. But then, I am running Mint 18.1
(and the same on the virtual machine...)

It seems Benoît thinks it has to do with keyboard input. He suggested I
changed Xinput method, but did not give any hints on what to change.

Re: [Gambas-user] Serial I/O with byte data

[d4t4full]

 is ASCII for STX, a special char that for some protocols mean "start 
transmission".
Some protocols frame their data payload between chars STX () and ETX().
These also normally use some checksum mechanism either before or right after 
ETX.

Of course it could also be a misleading UTF8 header of some kind resulting from 
raw data to string conversion, but that I cannot tell for sure.

You need a good protocol manual and check low-level comms frames.

zxMarce.

Hmm eureka, it's 02 53 = 0x53
Or 02 25 = 0x25...

Where could that 02 be from?

​Not that I know. The problem happened just after Gambas fresh install.

​Same here. But I know that it has nothing to do with permissions, since
it's possible to paste with the mouse.

Running as "sudo":

gda@acer:~$ sudo gambas3
[sudo] senha para gda:
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
  Extension:130 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
  Resource id:  0x141


​+ ​I'm wondering if the editor uses Java. There was some similar issues
with keyboards and java code editors on Linux in the past.

+ I'm also thinking about some Gtk+2/3 missing or conflicting library,
since my system has Xubuntu and Gnome 3.24.1

+ Maybe some Xorg setting could do the trick, as it is the only difference
I can think between VM/Desktop install.

Re: [Gambas-user] Serial I/O with byte data

[alexchernoff]

Thanks, it works (both with .tostring and reading one by one... 

But I get values I don't know how to convert, e.g. where I expect a decimal
83 or hex 53 I get byte value of 253 ... Or instead of Decimal 15 I get 225
:(

cheers!

You should always consider String as an array of bytes.
Just because humans can't read them or because they cannot be displayed,
means nothing to the computer.  It only means something to the human.

While the computer is processing and doing work, we don't need to see it.

I use string exclusively for binary data...especially serial port stuff.
Strings are far easier than a byte array.

If you insist on using a byte array, consider a large fixed-size array.
For example: b[1].
Resizing a dynamic array every time is cpu work.

[Mike Crean]

If you are talking about a byte the likes of that used in modbusrtu you will 
need to do some high low bit manipulation on it.

 Following should work for you:

Public Sub XXX_Read()

  Dim iLen As Integer
  Dim aData As Byte[]

  iLen = Lof(Last)
  aData = New Byte[]
  aData.Resize(iLen)
  Try aData.Read(Last, 0, iLen)

End

You need to get the length (lof) first, then resize array ... only then you
can read it.

Re: [Gambas-user] ​ Re: Keyboard locked -- insisting one more time

[Fernando Cabral]

Gláucio

I see our systems and environment are quite similar, although not exactly
the same. Have you installed something different that might have changed
the IDE behavior? If I have, I have not been able to determine what it
could be. What I know for sure is that one moment everything was working,
next moment it was not anymore. What happened in-between, I can not figure
out.

Now, after running gambas as superuser ("sudo gambas3") I have given up the
keyboard hypothesis (at least for now). I went back to the hypothesis that
it has to do with some file or directory permission. Nevertheless, I have
not been able to determine which file or directory it could be. As to the
project tree, I have opened it up completely (rwxrwxrwx for the directories
and at least rw-rw-rw- for the files. Even for the hidden ones.  It did not
help.

I have also searched for every single file and directory related to gambas.
For this I used searches like "locate -i --regex .*gambas.*" and "gbr3" and
"gbx3", etc. Saved the results to a file and checked file and directory
permissions. I could not find and thing unexpected.

I have exhausted my bag of tricks so I have resorted to either of two ugly
workarounds:  running gambas as superuser or doing the edition in a virtual
machine. In the last option, I just mount the project tree as a directory
in the virtual machine. Then I make the changes in the virtual machine and
test them in the real machine. Cumbersome, but has worked.
I would ask you to try running "sudo gambas3". If you can edit your files
as superuser, then it will be very likely that we have exactly the same
problem.
