I am making a simple snake game and have problem when loading the images (apple, snakes head, snakes body). When running this code, I just see the JPanel with black background which I have created. where is my mistake?
I highlighted my code with image and paint method.
Code:
I've been using Konqueror for years, but I hadn't ever tried playing with the Appearance > Stylesheets settings in the Settings > Options > WebBrowsing menu. Now, I'm regretting it.
Here's exactly what I did:
1. Went to that Appearance > Stylesheets and clicked on "Use accessibility stylesheet," then Customize.
2. The "Suppress Background Images" option was checked. I unchecked it, because I wanted it to display them.
3. Clicked Close, then Apply.
Then I reloaded a page, and for some reason, it wouldn't display the background images! (Odd, because I unchecked that box.) So I went back into the same menu, chose "Use default stylesheet", OK, and reloaded the page. Nothing changed. Now, every web page I go to doesn't display background images. Other than that, everything looks identical -- it's obviously loading each website's stylesheet, because all of the DIVs and such are in the right place wherever I go. Just . . . no background images.
When I add the line (sleep 5 ) & in the script then the "while read" loop does not read all lines from the file, but only prints the first line.But when I remove the ( sleep 5 ) & from the script, then the script prints all lines as defined in the file.And how to solve the problem? I want to create a new process (for which the sleep is just an example) in the while loop:
$ more test
#!/bin/ksh
while read -r line ; do

I know that ImageMagick's convert program can be used as follows to convert a collection of images -- say, in PNG format -- to a PDF file:
convert *png output.pdf
The problem with this is that each image is then stretched to fit on one page, whereas I would like to keep the original dimensions of the images and put as many as possible on one page in the PDF file before moving on to another page.
Subj: this probably discussed many times, could anybody provide a link to step-by-step process. Is there a simple process rather then copy packages from disks2-6 to disk1 directories?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 images stored temporarily in home folder totaling 21 gigs. I recieved warning stating that home disrectory is full.
I used gparted and resized extended partition and home partition. When I look at disk usage it still says that I'm maxed out in /home/edward. How do I increase my share as I have plenty of space. Or, can I create a place for storing images? Also the images were created and placed there using clonezilla.
I have an old game, and I want to back up the disk because its old and a little scratched. I tried to use dd to record the disk, but it crashes with an "i/o error", which is strange because I can read the files on the cd without any problem.Luckily, I found all of the files from the disk already backed up on my hard drive. The problem is, when I create an iso image using mkisofs it abbreviates all of the filenames... which makes the game not... run. So how do I create an iso image with long filenames?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am just spent half an hour hunting for a thing that should be totally available already:USB install images of Ubuntu, knoppix and all the others.And, the only good way are so far complicated tutorials where you extract the stuff from an CD image. Why??Hasn't everybody notices that CDs/DVDs are vanishing big time? That more and more systems don't have the readers anymore? Instead of following a 10 point instruction list, it would be nice to just be able to download a Ubuntu 8.10 or whatever USB image and be able to beam that DIRECTLY to a USB stick with a dd command.
Or am a missing something here? Does this exist?It should by no means be mariginal, considering how important USB stick in specific and flash memory in general have become.
I have a very big image directory: One image per minute, whole a year, captured from a webcam. Now I want to make a video (15 or 24FPS) with all the webcam captures, to see how it changed during this period. I've tried automotion, but it makes a very low quality video, besides it blocks with lots of images. I've also tried dvd-slideshow, but it's not possible to make a more-than-1FPS video.
I also need to change the date in each webcam's images, because they are wrong, so it needed to overlay a little layout with the right date for each image, is that possible to manage within some application? Preferibly shell applications which supports lots of Gb of information (anyway I always could make little videos and then glue them)
I'm running OpenSuse 11.0 in a lamp configuration with Apache 2. I configured Apache with the .conf files instead of YAST because I am running virtual hosts (that's another story).
My problem is that my server will not render the pages unless the permissions are set to 775 which I know is not necessary. This is also causing a problem because I am trying to install WordPress onto the server. WordPress will run, but it unable to upload images because it cannot create the directories required.
Apache2 is running as 755 with root as owner and www as group. I changed the owner of the htdocs sub-directories to myself, and created a group that has permissions to write to the directory. WordPress runs as my user and has the same permissions (775).
I've recently started using Ubuntu as my main desktop operating system and I'm looking for a backup solution that is able to backup not only my documents and various other files that I have on the system, but I also need it to backup and create restore images for the operating system.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHave you noticed the space "background set" that is in Ubuntu from the 9.04?It is an xml file (as I discovered on this beautiful forum ).But creating it manually is very boring and long, it would be simpler to put wallpapers into a directory and use them all as background set. So I've created a simple script that generate the xml background file with the images in a directory. You can set the timetion of wallpapers and of transitions setting the proper parameters.
here's the link to the script:generateXMLBackground.shHow to use it?Create a directory and put into it all images you want to be in the background setOpen a terminal [Applications->Accessories->Terminal]Type "cd " and drag into the terminal the directory previously created and press enterDrag into the terminalhe script generateXMLBackground.sh and press enter [you can use parameters -t -d. For help use the parameter -h]The xml file has been created!!Now you only have to set it as background:in the "Change desktop background" window click "Add", navigate to the directory created at the beginning, set the type filtre to "All files" (at right bottom, normally it is 'Images') and choose the .xml file named #DIRNAME#Background.xml.Note:not run the script generateXMLBackground.sh you have not rights type into the terminal "chmod +x " drag the script and press enter (to make it executable).
I want to change installation background image in fedora 12.
How to change the installation background not desktop background.
I am running Linux from a DVD, not installed. I am not good with installing software, but since the DVD cannot be corrupted, I am content to operate this way. Lately, I have been having problems that previously did not occur. When I try to click on the checkbox to get rid of emails, it doesn't register in most cases, or when it does, I am clicking multiple times so it registers twice, meaning it is unchecked again. Even more frustrating is some issues that are affecting my ability to update my business. I am trying to modify spreadsheets (text not calculations).
Whenever I try to click & drag to select something to change, it keeps jumping around to select only some of what I want, something else or some combination of the 2. When I try to copy and paste several fields from 1 column to another, everything from the several fields in the source column ends up together in the last field in the target column. I am also trying to download some images from a website. There is a single column of links to the images. I have to click on the link to get to the image in order to copy it, then back out to continue looking for more links to do the same.
My computer keeps jumping back 2 steps, then forward 2 steps, and sometimes I lose my place in that list. I could deal with it if it were a small number of links, but this is a list of probably close to 20,000 links. Again, i am operating off of a live DVD so this should not be corruptible, but this has just started happening, and has been an issue the last several sessions.
We are trying to load Fedora Core 4, yes I know it is obsolete, onto a server that utilizes SAS drives. he distro in question does not have the appropriate drivers native to a vanilla iso image, so I need to create a new iso image that contains the drivers in question.Can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to create a new iso image that will contain the drivers that are needed for the install
