Re: Need a Mono upgrade

Thank you so much for all the effort! One question though: any chance to support mono-vbnc? When trying to install it I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: mono-vbnc : Depends: libmono-microsoft-visualbasic11.0-cil (= 3.8-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libmono-corli...

Re: Raspbian vs Wheezy (beta) Mono support

You can reproduce error also using X server on a PC, you don't need a monitor on a PI. Take a look http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ for example, it has a freeware version. MobaXterm is definitely a great solution... but for a free alternative I'd suggest the following combo: Bitvise SSH Client (for SS...

Re: Mono (C#) 2.11.4 hard-float for Raspberry Pi (EXPERIMENT

Gene, It installed perfectly but I had to do the following in order to be able to run a WinForms application: sudo apt-get install libgdiplus sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgdiplus.so /usr/local/lib/libgdiplus.so I don't know why the last command is necessary, but it was a quick fix so that mono can locate ...

Is there any chance to have "Microsoft.VisualBasic" compiled and included in the DEB package?

Re: Mono (C#) 2.11.4 hard-float for Raspberry Pi (EXPERIMENT

Well, I just tried compiling (make) without applying the patch and it worked perfectly. Also tested a GTK# application and everything appears to be working just fine, so I guess the problem was the patch. http://software.xfx.net/stackoverflow/gtk_sharp_test.png The Window decoration is from Win7 bec...

I followed all instructions (including the patch) but the make command stopped with this error: make[3]: *** No rule to make target `thread.c', needed by `thread.lo'. Stop. Anyone knows what this means? EDIT: So I decided to start from scratch and now I'm getting a different error: make[3]: *** No r...

Hardware question (IDC26 Female)

I'm working on a project which will use a custom built PCB. For simplicity purposes, I would like to have an IDC26 Female connector on the PCB so that it be directly attached to the IDC26 Male on the Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find such connector. All IDC26 Female connectors...

Re: PulseAudio network sink

Well, I can now confirm that there's no way to use Pulse Audio over WiFi. My laptop (which is the "sender"), when connected via WiFi, does all sorts of weird things and sometimes, the Pulse Audio sink in the Raspberry Pi simply disappears from the available Audio Output channels. But, if the sink st...

Re: PulseAudio network sink

Yes, those are the same symptoms although I haven't checked what (if anything) is reported on the console, as Mint keeps me in the graphic environment. But, the next time I try it, I'll check the logs and see if there's anything relevant (after all, Mint is based on Debian/Ubuntu so we should both b...

Re: PulseAudio network sink

That's an interesting and quite feasible explanation, unfortunately, I cannot test it myself because as soon as I try to play audio from my laptop (connected wirelessly), my Linksys freezes (something that has never happened before) and I need to power cycle it. However, if I stream from a virtualiz...

Re: Printing to Epson Thermal Reciept Printer

I was able to get Python ESCPOS to work. Unfortunately, the printer I'm using (a brand-less Chinese $40.00 thermal printer) seems to be having issues "receiving" or "interpreting" ESC/POS commands. I'll be running some more tests later next week and I'll post back... I really need to get this working.
