New MegaLogViewer, Log Viewing and Graphing software

Whoa. I figured out what it is.

I am running on the Mac. On the mac, the menus show up at the top of the screen and there is another menu (titled Main after the class) - which is always there on all mac apps. It has an Exit option in it - in addition to YOUR exit option in the File menu.

If I quit with your option - it works fine and saves a user.prefs file.

If I quit with the Main>Quit option it must bypass that code and not save.

I think you will get all the performance benefits while compiling for 1.2.2 - you just don't get any new APIs - but there isn't anything amazingly trick until generics in 1.5. 1.3 was out for a really long time - so I would think you'd be safe moving to that (I am not 100% sure that the shutdown hook appeared in 1.3 so better check that)... but in the end it's totally up to you. I'm happy to have a workaround

Interesting.... Currently I do the save when I get the window Closing event. I guess with the Main>Quit it never sends the event.

The shut down hook should be pretty fool proof. I'll change it to persist on that, I agree 1.3 is pretty safe and the performance gains are substancial during file load running under something newer than 1.2. So I would encourage any one that was running that old a JRE to upgrade anyway.

I'll put out another build tonight.

wow. Sweet. Rock on!

fiid, I just put 1.2a out there with the new persistence mechanism. Let me know if that takes care of it.

Has anyone gotten this program working on Liunux? I am running Fedora and wanted to see if I could make this work.

I started it from the command line (in a terminal window) and it looks like it is going to start, but no display. I am sure there is something funky I need to do to tell it to run in graphical mode but I have not found it yet.

Also if I right click on the desktop icon and say open with "java -jar" that does not work either.

I'm sure I am missing something basic but I am a Linux newbee and have no idea...

Actually, I just put fedora 4 on one of my laptops last week, it isn't working on that. It starts then exits? Not sure why yet. I was going to try to download a sun jre and try it using that instead of the redhat one. I would bet it would work there.

Either way, I am out of town for a week and was going to pinpoint why when I get back. I am sure it is something I can get around.

If you have time, try sun's 1.5 JRE or JDK and see if that works.

Works fine on SUSE 10.

Also works fine on Xandros 3.0 OCE.

I see that my Fedora install is using "gij", version 4.0.0 which claims to be java version 1.4.2

It starts and looks like it is running but there are no graphics. It doesn't exit: it just seems to hang.

I'll have to install "the real Java" and see how that works...

LT401Vette · Post by **LT401Vette** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 10:02 pm

Is any one else running fedora and the gij Java? I will debug what they screwed up, find a work around and an submit a bug report. But to be honest, after playing with it further I think RedHat has bastardized linux too much and would prefer to blow away the install.

Maybe GenToo

Phil,

Yeah, that's become a widespread opinion. We're still using RH 9 as our Linux development platform at work, and will probably bail on them when that's too old, and certainly won't use EE or whatever for development (maybe a target port). I think the guys at work who know these things stick with SuSE, but some of the hardcore use GenToo at home (my nephew was big on it for a while, used it for the not2fast server for a couple years).

Yeah it seems like a lot of people like SuSE, maybe I'll give that one a shot. As it turns out the HD bit the dust in the Fedora Laptop anyway

. I'll have to order one.

I have debian running on one of my older laptops, All in all I have been happy with that.

Off topic but continuing this thought.... Whats the most "ediot freindly" linux version out there? I can't get ANY of the ones I have played with to run on my wireless stuff? I REALY want to learn Linux but and somewhat software challenged at times.

I need two things, wireless network and Yahoo Messanger. The second they do have a version for Linux (don't remember WHAT linux right now though...)

I have gotten pretty good at breaking windows, time to move to Linux!

Ubuntu or Kubuntu if you perfer KDE, I do.
You can't go wrong with any Debian based distro (:

LT401Vette · Post by **LT401Vette** » Sun Nov 20, 2005 6:27 pm

I would agree, debian. To take it a step further download a knoppix iso. It will boot off the cd/dvd and detect everything on your system, run from there. If you like it, you can tell it to install to your disk.

LT401Vette · Post by **LT401Vette** » Sun Nov 20, 2005 6:29 pm

Another nice thing here is that you know if there maybe trouble with your hardware or drivers that are not included. But so far just about any machine I have put the knoppix disk in can up with network and all. It also has a lot of pre installed apps, especially the DVD version.

Honestly while I like Debian based distro's I feel in love with http://www.vectorlinux.com for my old (PII - 300mhz) laptop. It is slackware based which at first seems to dissuade newbies but it runs extremely fast and supported 99% of the proprietary hardware on my laptop without any fiddling. (Everything but the touchscreen!)

As supporting wireless, what chipset is your wireless card?
Right now I am still tweaking with Ndiswrapper to get my D-Link/Texas Instruments wireless card working 100% percent of the time, but that is just because Texas Instruments sucks when it comes to Linux support.

Also gaim is included for all your instant messaging needs which works extremely well with MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, IRC, and a bunch of others! Whatever distro you choose look for a gaim package, you won't be disappointed!

OK so I did get it to work on my Fedora Core 4 install after all.

I had to type the full path to the Java install to force the word "java" to mean java and not gij. I can't figure out why typing "java" runs gij or how to change it but I am very new to Linux.

LT401Vette · Post by **LT401Vette** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 6:57 am

You probably need to replace the link in the bin dir. gij probably has a link to java placed in the bin dir, so it comes up on the path first.
