Debugging native app on ARM chromebook? - google-nativeclient

What's the easiest way to debug the ARM build of a Chrome NACL app (Samsung Chromebook) ?
Can we see printf output? What about Chrome debug output?
Can we use gdb remotely?
Thanks

I believe this works and is the canonical repository of this kind of info. (If it doesn't, the page should be fixed!)

Yes, you can use gdb remotely.
To see printf output, try chrome:://system and expanding the ui_log.

BlackBerry: check if headless app is running

This is just a short question, but very important:
In my UI app, I'd like to print out some debug information. There should be a note like Service running or Service not running.
Is there any easy possibility to check whether the headless part is running or not?
Thanks!
edit
searched, but nothing found!
Yes in your headless service class u can put a debug if your headless app is running then it will prints debug text in console.

When does System.out not appear in the Java console?

I understood that anything to standard out (System.out) would appear in the Java Console window (when it's enabled). I spotted somewhere though that there might be situations where this isn't try, for example, from Swing apps. Is that the case?
Basically, what situations or setups wouldn't I expect to see standard output in the console? Is there a difference in behavior running on the JDK rather than explicitly on the JRE for example? javaw.exe?
ps, I understand how to display the Console in the Java settings but I'm curious as I've managed to create an application, run as an executable jar, that doesn't start the console despite some calls to System.out) on Windows 7.
The only way you wouldn't see System.out output in the console is if the method System.setOut has been invoked. This method is invoked to redirect output to the graphical Java Console, but I don't know of any other realistic circumstance in which it would be redirected away from the Java Console unless you do so voluntarily.
Depending on terminal settings it can happen that the output is not written until a newline character is sent as well. So if you do System.out.print("test") it might not appear immediately.
On Windows this is usually not the case, but on Unix terminals this is quite common.
Perhaps you use javaw to start virtual machine, this version will not show console messages. You can use java to start the virtual machine, which will show the console message.
javaw is intended for apps with windows, java is intended for console apps.
Same thing happened to me. I could not get System.out.println or Logger.debug either on console.
If you are on a huge project in Eclipse or whatever, you can read below.
Solution: I realized that I had not committed jars and some java files to SubVersioN on network. thats all. Project had not been compiled.
One situation I can think of is to invoke System.setOut(null) (orSystem.setOut(any OutputStream other than System.out or System.err)) then the console, if exists, would show nothing.

iMacros-like program that can run from the command line to automate browser actions?

Here's what I would like to do:
Cron execute an iMacro (or iMacro-like) script on a headless unix server - essentially doing my browser interactions for me.
Is this possible?
I'm sure cURL won't be able to traverse the DOM and trigger user events. iMacros would be perfect if I could run it in unix CLI, which you can, but I run a headless server without Xorg and obviously FF requires Xorg. iMacro with Lynx would be good but I doubt iMacro works with Lynx.
Anyone got any ideas?
Old question, but I was looking for about the same thing, and I found this post on Google. Here the answser :
There is some headless browser which can run on an Unix system without Xorg. You can try CasperJS, PhantomJS or Zombie by example.

Flex trace() doesn't print

There's a lot of examples for ActionScript over the web using trace() to print results.
I'd tryied it using Flash Builder 4, but it don't print to the console. Where can I see the output?
Are you in debug mode ?
Put a breakpoint on the line where the trace() is wrote (ctrl+shift+b), debug and see if the trace is reached.
Are you printing the right string? try to use also a static text in front when doing trace like trace("Loading file: ", _myFile.url);
If you do not want to use Flash Player debugger, but you want to log messages without annoying Alert popups, you can easily
log to the Firebug console.
Are you sure that you are running the debug build and not the release build?
I had the same problem even with the debug player. I could step right past a trace call in the debugger with no console output. I was pulling my hair out checking mm.cfg, flex-config.xml, .actionScriptProperties and all the options I could find in FlexBuilder. Nothing worked...
..until I rebooted my machine (Windows XP 64-bit). No other changes necessary!

Get BlackBerry simulator to print to command line/console

I would like to have the BlackBerry simulator print to console so that I can debug with out an IDE. I do all my development from Linux with bb-ant-tools and have the emulator running on windows (on a separate computer). I don't have eclipse or the jde on windows, just the emulator.
--edit 02/28/10
After much searching it appears I need to connect to the simulator to jdb and to do that I need to find the default JDWP port or how to change it with out the JDE's JDWP application. I am looking at possibly port 8000, I hope it isn't randomly assigned.
--edit 03/02/10
Correction, the JDWP application is required as it is what you connect the jdb to by jdb -connect com.sun.jdi.SocketAttach:hostname=host,port=8000 but output is placed in output tab of JDWP making it very unlikely that it can print to a console and be done without the JDE. I would very much like to be proven wrong though.
A couple of things, not sure they will be very helpful.
jdb IS a command line tool, so you should be able to get console out that way.
For Linux, you can use the Barry tools that give you the jdwp as bjdwp command, then you should be able to use jdb
Also, you can get the Simulator to work on Linux by using Wine. I am able to run both the Barry tools and the Simulator on my mac.
I hate writting up such a short not detailed enough answer, but hopefully this will help someone else who will have time to provide more details.
PS: Sorry about no http:// but it seems that I am such a newbie I can't put more than one link on my answer.
