Inno Setup UninstallIcon Disappears - icons

I am doing something wrong with the UninstallerIcon I use this piece of Code:
UninstallDisplayIcon=....(Iconlocation)
and then when I unplug the Disk with the Icon the icon disappears:
I hope you can help me out :)
Best Regards,
Christian

The UninstallDisplayIcon must point to a permanent file on the destination machine. Not to the source drive of the installer. That typically means that you have to install the icon and point the UninstallDisplayIcon to the installed copy:
[Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\uninstall.ico
[Files]
Source: uninstall.ico; DestDir: {app}
Note that the UninstallDisplayIcon is loaded by Windows on the destination machine, not Inno Setup itself. Windows supports other formats, like .exe and .dll, in addition to .ico.

How to cross compile Arduino code for esp8266?

I have a Raspberry Pi at a remote location. I have attempted to run the Arduino IDE on that system but it doesn't have enough memory. I would like to compile some code on my Ubuntu desktop, copy the executable file to the Pi and use some utility to load it to an ESP8266 running the OTA software. What I need is to know where the executable is after an IDE compile step and what utility might be used to transfer the file from the Pi to the ESP8266 over the lan.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim.
in arduino ide,
go to, File-> Preferences. Tick mark the boxes for compilation “Show verbose output during: ☑ compilation"
Now You will get the location of all the files generated in arduino console.
See answer by Kinaly Jain. If you upload your code to a local esp, verbose mode will also show you the commands it used to do the upload. You can gather these commands into a script or a makefile to run on the remote Pi.
Thanks to both of the responders. I wanted to try to describe a possible scenario to satisfy my needs. I found out from another post that the "Sketch/Export compiled binary" menu selection will produce a bin file that can be uploaded using a script similar to the one in this page https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/3553
The script finds the available OTA ports in the network and then uses espota.py to upload the .bin file to the port that you select. I suggest slight update to that script. On my system, espota is in ~/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.7.4/tools/espota.py and it is now a python3 script. It is executable so you don't need to explicity execute python.
/home/$USER/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.7.4/tools/espota.py -i $ip -p 8266 --auth="$password" -f "$path" 2> /dev/null && echo -e "Success:\t$ip" || echo -e "Fail: \t$ip" &
I've not tested it yet but I think it'll work with maybe some small tweaks. The avahi-browse utility is in the avahi-utils package on the Raspberry Pi OS. It was not installed by default on RPi OS but it appears to have been on Linux Mint.
To summarize I will run the Arduino IDE on my desktop using the "Export ..." menu, then I'll find the .bin file in the sketch directory and copy it to the Pi. Then I'll use the script mentioned before to hopefully write the bin file to the esp8266 via OTA. I hope this will help someone else with a similar problem.
Thanks again,
Jim.

Can't find a way to get graphic tablet drivers working on mint

So i was trying to install the XP Pen Driver for my Deco 01 v2 graphics tablet on my Linux Mint 19.2 Tina when i came to encounter the following error:
./Pentablet_Driver: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by ./Pentablet_Driver)
I went on to install qt 5.10, still the same error. Others suggested to just change the path wth sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/randomLibs.conf which didn't change a thing.
Link to drivers:
https://www.xp-pen.com/download-440.html
The manufacturer has a page describing how to set up their software on Linux with pictures. However, when following them, you end up with a folder name somewhere along the line that has spaces in it, which causes issues.
So a modified set of instructions might look like this:
Connect your XP-Pen product to the computer.
Download the Linux Beta driver from XP-Pen official website.
When the download is complete, extract the compressed folder.
Rename the extracted folder to something without spaces.
Inside the renamed folder is another compressed folder which should be extracted.
Inside the final extracted folder, ensure "Pentablet_Driver.sh" has execution permissions by right clicking on it and going to "Properties->Permissions" and verifying that "Allow executing file as program" is checked.
Open the terminal. (CTRL+ALT+T)
Type "sudo ", then drag Pentablet_Driver.sh from the file browser onto the terminal.
Type the password to complete.
Make sure that you write exactly
sudo ./Pentablet_Driver.sh
instead
sudo ./Pentablet_Driver
I had the same error until I noticed that I forgot to add .sh at the end.

How to install xv6 on virtualbox or vmware?

I'm trying to run xv6 operating system on VirtualBox or VMWare in a Linux host. The official instructions said how to run the OS on qemu only. However, the official page (https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/xv6.html) mentioned that xv6 can be booted directly on hardware also, but it's not clear how.
I want to boot xv6 on VirtualBox or VMware first. I extracted the following command from the Makefile, which runs xv6 from the command line after it's compiled using make command.
/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 -serial mon:stdio -drive file=fs.img,index=1,media=disk,format=raw -drive file=xv6.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw -smp 2 -m 512
Please help me how to proceed. If the procedure is already documented some reference will be helpful.
The instructions are here which is linked (via 6.828 tools page) from your link though they are a bit terse:
Using a Virtual Machine
Otherwise, the easiest way to get a compatible toolchain is to install
a modern Linux distribution on your computer. With platform
virtualization, Linux can cohabitate with your normal computing
environment. Installing a Linux virtual machine is a two step process.
First, you download the virtualization platform.
VirtualBox (free for Mac, Linux, Windows) — Download page
VMware Player (free for Linux and Windows, registration required)
VMware Fusion (Downloadable from IS&T for free).
VirtualBox is a little slower and less flexible, but free!
Once the virtualization platform is installed, download a boot disk
image for the Linux distribution of your choice.
Ubuntu Desktop is what we use.
This will download a file named something like
ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso. Start up your virtualization platform
and create a new (32-bit) virtual machine. Use the downloaded Ubuntu
image as a boot disk; the procedure differs among VMs but is pretty
simple. Type objdump -i, as above, to verify that your toolchain is
now set up. You will do your work inside the VM.
I can see how one could read that and not see the answer.
After the virtual machine is installed, download the Ubuntu Desktop .iso. Install that into the VM and fire it up. Presumably the Desktop will provide a clear mechanism for loading your OS. (Wait, I'm giving it a try. Will update with the result.)
Turns out that is simply a Ubuntu client desktop, and isn't anything special for running a sub-operating system.
Looking around some more, I found the commentary to be the best potential clue. It contains this (head scratcher) phrase:
To run xv6, install the QEMU PC simulators. To run in QEMU, run "make qemu".
If only it specified the context to get to that point! (Sorry I am not more help.)
I see that you want to boot it on VirtualBox or VMware, but another option would be to using docker to run xv6. A great guide for getting started with xv6 through docker is here.
The full guide is elaborate and can help you with getting started.
It is an alternative option, but one that can get you going fast hopefully.
It will only take 4 steps to get going with the xv6:
Step 1
Download and set up docker here
Step 2
- Run this command in PowerShell or bash to pull the ubuntu image with xv6 docker pull grantbot/xv6
Step 3
- To run the docker image and get going with xv6 run this command docker run -it grantbot/xv6
Step 4
- Now inside the shell in the ubuntu image run cd /home/a/xv6-public/ to enter the root folder of the xv6.
Done
- Now you can compile and run the xv6 with make qemu-nox
Step 1.Compile xv6
Download the code, unzip it and enter the directory, compile the operating system image and root file system, the command is as follows:
make xv6.img&&make fs.img
Step 2. Write image to disk
Create two disks in a existed vmware virtual machine(my vmware version is 15.2.2, linux version is Centos7.8), the operation steps are: virtual machine settings -> add -> disk -> SCSI -> create a new virtual disk -> size 0.005 (allocate immediately, single file) -> name the disk "os", which means this disk is the operating system.
Create another disk named "fs" in the same way to put the root file system.
At this time, there should be "sdb" and "sdc" in the /dev/ directory (sda is the current operating system itself). If you do not see the "sdb" and "sdc", restart the guest operating system.
Write the operating system and root file system to the disk with the following command:
dd if=./xv6.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4k count=1000
dd if=./fs.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1000
shutdown the current virtual machine to ensure that the file has sync to the disk. At this time, the two images have been written to the disk, vmware saves the disk as a file, the location is in the directory of the current virtual machine, named os.vmdk, fs.vmdk, the next step will load these two files into the new virtual machine.
Step 3. Create xv6 virtual machine
To create an empty virtual machine, the operation steps are: customize (advanced) -> next -> install the operating system later -> choose other operating system type (choose other versions) -> take the virtual machine name as xv6 (name depend on you) ) -> Then use the default configuration all the way to "Next" to completion.
Right-click the created virtual machine and delete the disk created by default. Add the disk file created in the previous step to the current virtual machine. The operation steps are: add -> "disk" -> ide (note that this is an IDE instead of a SCSI disk, because xv6 reads an IDE format disk) -> use an existing virtual disk -> select the os.vmdk generate in the step 2->complete
Add fs.vmdk in the same way. Note that you must add os.vmdk first. Because os.vmdk is the operating system, it needs to be the first hard disk.
Now, you create a virtual machine which has two disk. one is os disk, another is root file system disk, all is ready.
Start the virtual machine, and the xv6 will start successfully.

'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH on Mac with Eclipse RED

I've been trying to automate some basic stuff with Robotframework. Here is my configuration.
Python - 2.7.10
MAC High Sierra 10.13.2
Eclipse Oxygen with RED Editor
I've downloaded Geckodriver executable and put in under several places including usr/local/bin, folder on desktop
Here is what i've tried
Setup FFDriver Set Environment Variable webdriver.gecko.driver Users/[my username]/Desktop/geckodriver
Setup FFDriver Set Environment Variable webdriver.gecko.driver usr/local/bin/geckodriver
and my test
open browser http://www.google.com firefox
I've added usr/local/bin in PATH as well and still getting "geckodriver executable needs to be in PATH" error. The same happens with Chromedriver too. I am sure I must be missing something trivial here, can someone help me out please?
Launching the eclipse from command prompt, has fixed this issue. Yes, the PATH is not being inherited when launched from desktop icon.
when you use Python. the best shortcut you can do is, put you 'geckodriver.exe' file in pythons script folder. and set the Script folder path in you system path. this will resolve your problem.

Setup of Qt Creator to debug into Qt classes

I want to setup Qt Creator (3.0) in a way, that I can debug into the Qt classes. So I download the corresponding src code (http://gitorious.org/qt/qt5) and install it in a directory (e.g. c:\Qt5\src).
Then I have my own project. Where do I need to set the source code path of Qt (c:\Qt5\src), so I can debug my code, but also into a Qt class where necessary.
-- Edit:Pavel's comment --
Pavel has given a good hint: But I am using a precompiled version of Qt/Qt Creator. So I am basically looking for a solution which does not require me to compile from source. Nevertheless a useful hint. Thanks.
If you are using a prebuilded version just remap the source code location as described in http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html
Mapping Source Paths
To enable the debugger to step into the code and display the source
code when using a copy of the source tree at a location different from
the one at which the libraries where built, map the source paths to
target paths:
Select Tools > Options > Debugger > General > Add.
In the Source path field, specify the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger.
In the Target path field, specify the actual location of the source tree on the local machine.
To get "the source path in the debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger", you can activate the "Use Tooltips in Stack-View when Debugging" option by right-clicking in the Stack View and move the mouse over a specific function call.
If you look into the tooltips, you will see references to /Users/qt/work, the Mac deployed debug symbols are pointing there. Of course, this is not documented, as these folks want you to buy enterprise.
If you create the /Users/qt/work directory (as root), then make a soft link to your source directory named qt, everything will work. No need to build anything from source (under Mac that would result in tens of gigs wasted). Same considerations about plugins
Example:
sudo -s
mkdir /Users/qt
cd /Users/qt
mkdir work
cd work
ln -s /Users/your_user_name/Qt/your_qt_release/Src qt
Everything will work. Any source mapping failed here, so leave those alone.
Hope this helps
With Xcode, before you step into the Qt library the first time, enter the following command in the LLDB window:
settings set target.source-map /Users/qt/work/qt /path/to/Qt/5.10.1/Src
(Obviously you'll want to change the version number, as relevant).
But suppose Trolltech changes its build directory, what to do then? (Or, how did the community wiki that gave the /Users/qt/work/qt path find it?) You can guess what the path needs to be by editing /path/to/Qt/5.10.1/clang_64/lib/QtCore.framework.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/QtCore_debug (or any other Qt library) and searching for some paths. "/Users" seems like a good guess. About 2% into the library you'll start seeing sections with a lot of paths like:
../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/kernel^#../../include/QtCore
/../../src/corelib/tools^#global^#/Users/qt/work/qt/qtbase/src/corelib
/../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch^#/Applications/Xcode.app
/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/<etc>
Look for an absolute path that looks like it could be writable. (/Applications/... would not be a likely build path, for example)
In recent Qt creator (v 4.11) press button "Add Qt Sources"
in Tools > Options > Debugger > General
and select Qt sources file.
Qt5 should be installed by online installer with checked "Qt Debug Information files".
Follow the instructions from Qt here:
"In the run configuration, select Use debug version of frameworks."
