Wrote on the subject of menu display problems with Maya at Feb. 11, 2004, 8:53 a.m...
Hello everyone. I have a strange problem with Maya 5.0.1 on my Octane. I got the menu labels (FIle, Edit and other) disapearing when I click on it on the GUI. The several popup menus and the right properties panes are also impacted by this problem. I also contacted Aliason this but still no answer.

Is it a problem due to my system (Octane R10000 250, 1 GB ram and SE graphics) ?

Yes I did. I was using Maya 5..0 on an older version, the 6.5.3, and thouht that could be an OS problem. But after upgrading to 6.5.22 and Maya to 5.0.1, I always have the same problem. Maya is the only apps to have this behaviour.

Yes, it is exactly my problem. I tried to remove the maya folder in my home, but it was not enough. Does Maya has other config files ?

If it can help someone, I got two recurent error during building of qt 3.3.1 with Mips Pro 7.4 on Irix 6.5 64 bits.

The first :

cc-1020 CC: ERROR File = /foo/qt/src/tools/qdatastream.cpp, Line = 514
The identifier "strtoll" is undefined.
return strtoll( buf, (char**)0, 10 ); // C99 function

It was badly corrected by modifying "/usr/include/stdlib.h".

/usr/include/stdlib.h: Add the following at line 13
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#if defined(__c99) || ((defined(_SGIAPI) || defined(_ABIAPI)) &&
defined(_NO_ANSIMODE))
__SGI_LIBC_USING_FROM_STD(strtoll)
__SGI_LIBC_USING_FROM_STD(strtoull)
#endif

The second one : a core dump during making of QT Designer. Two solutions: upgrade to 7.4.1 or link to the libc.so version of memcmp(). To use the libc.so version, comment out the '#pragma intrinsic (memcmp)' line in the file '/usr/include/internal/string_core.h.

The two original sources where I find my answers:

Hope it can help some people.

Wrote on the subject of Fan louder in dual head, normal ? at March 29, 2004, 2:16 p.m...
Hello,

I have a MXE in my octane, I installed on it a second card, an SE board (in slot C, as advised in the SGI dual head manual for SI/MXI).

My fans start to be really louder. I suppose it is due to the heat generated by the dual head configuration. Is it normal ?

Or is it a sign that my Octane need a serious cleaning (in this case, is the vaccum cleaner safe ? I suppose yes).

Thanks,

Rémi
