Logic Audio hangs while validating Native Instruments AU
19 June 2007
This has happened to me twice and the second time I had already forgotten that I had solved this before :
Logic Audio hangs while trying to validate Native Instruments Audio Units.
When the Native Instruments application (Kore, Massive, Reaktor etc.) starts up for the first time it may find that some directory is missing or not writeable. It would like to pop open a dialog and ask you about this. Since it is being started up as a windowless subprocess of auval (Audio Unit validation), it can't pop open a dialog to get you to fix the problem. So it hangs.
solution: open each application as a standalone, solve all the problems, then open Logic and let it validate.
btw. Native Instruments has really annoying directory layouts as far as mac users are concerned. They write into little database files in the same directory as the application. This means that you can't keep the apps in your Application folder unless you make that writeable by all. It also means that you can't share NI apps between user accounts on a single computer. Each user would be using the same preferences eg. Kontakt Quick Search settings.

There is one in django.core.exceptions and one in django.forms.util Using that space age IDE Eclipse I have to say I'm enjoying how much time I've saved just going shift-command-O to organize and resolve all of my imports.

Quite mysterious it was, I raised a ValidationError (core exceptions one) in my form's clean() and watched as the try: except ValidationError: in django's full_clean() completely ignored my ...

- installing MySQLdb on Ubuntu (mysql-python)
MySQLdb is the python support bindings for MySQL. Not that the name would lead you to beleive that. Its sourceforge page calls it http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ which makes more sense. you need setuptools, which you usually already have: sudo aptitude install python-setuptools You need MySQL-devel to compile, but its not called that, its called: libmysql++-dev on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev download MySQLdb itself from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ # the version you download will be more recent tar xfz ...
- postgres login as admin user postgres
When installing postgres a user will be created named 'postgres' with a password of '!!' which means "cannot login". But yet you need to login as that in order to run psql (the postgres db shell) to create other users and to create database templates. The solution is to first log yourself in as root (in your normal shell): su root (enter password...) then you will no longer be subject to password checks and you can login in as user ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients
Timeblind
-
coltan and cassiterite Timeblind
The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)
I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.
The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
