go to start – all programs – accessories, right click on command prompt, left click run as administrator, and there it should be working

Stumbled across your blog whilst roaming the web for DAoC bits and pieces.

Are you still playing on the free shards, or have you tried the official (as I’ve recently returned and there’s certainly numbers).

Comment on Embedding Irrlicht into Qt by Kašpi

This example is really helpful. The included QtCreator project just doesn’t compile with the current Qt 4.8, because of the MUC apparently… But porting the code to any QWidget is pretty easy and obvious and can be done in minutes.

@JS: that is quite easy – one just has to set up a proxy… without a proxy, i.e. without specifying proxy servers in config file.

Comment on WebDAV and AutoFS by Jordan Bray

For me, the line:

mymountpoint -fstype=davfs,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666 :https://dav.mydomain.com

needed to be:

mymountpoint -fstype=davfs,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666 :https\://dav.mydomain.com

Namely, the : in the url needed to be escaped.

I keep getting following in spite of being logged in as a user with administrators privilege (user administrator is disabled as per company policy). Any workaround?

Comment on Monitoring Nvidia GPU usage in Linux by Luis Linares

Hi! Thanks for making up this script. For my GTX 560 Ti with driver ver. 285.05.33 on Kubuntu 11.10, I had to change the functions to:
Memory: nvidia-smi -i 0 -q -d memory | grep Used | sed ‘s:^[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\)[^0-9]*:\1:’
Utilization nvidia-smi -i 0 -q -d utilization | grep Gpu | sed ‘s:^[^0-9N/A]*\([0-9NA/]*\)[^0-9N/A]*:\1:’
Thank you so much!

[...] got confused and spent a bit more time on Google than I needed to. I found this blog post detailing how to add a content folder to a project, which I followed but couldn’t get working. It did show me how to add projects to solutions [...]

Very nice little script ! Thank you.
I don’t know if it helps, but you can add “-d UTILIZATION” in the nvidia-smi call to get only the gpu and memory usage.
It would be nice to have a multi-gpu version of the script. I easily extended it to a 2 gpus version, but I’m not good enough with scripting to create a general version.
