08:17 <GitHub191> artiq/master f695715 Sebastien Bourdeauducq: doc: minor fixes

10:04 <larsc> more Xilinx awesomeness, with the latest version of Vivado if you have a vector and part of the vector is not connected, instead of removing those bits from the design it removes the whole vector

10:20 <ysionneau> -_-

10:35 <ysionneau> that will break sooo many designs

11:05 <ysionneau> rjo_: ok , http://pythonhosted.org/PyDAQmx/index.html seems to work for both Linux and Windows

11:05 <ysionneau> I think I will give it a shot, hoping that I won't have nasty surprises with 2to3

11:06 <ysionneau> rjo_ : Which Linux distro is used to operate the NI DAQ stuff? Red Hat? Scientific Linux ? Mandriva ?

11:06 <ysionneau> it seems the nidaqmx driver supports only a small number of linux distributions

11:07 <ysionneau> I will install a Red Hat virtual machine @home to do the driver testing with nidaqmx-base

11:10 <sb0> why do you need red hat?

11:10 <sb0> just install on any distro... it should work

11:11 <sb0> xilinx ise is also officially compatible only with one distro iirc

11:13 <ysionneau> I'm searching for the minimal amount of trouble here but I guess any RPM based distro (or Debian with the rpm tool installed?) is fine

11:13 <ysionneau> (the driver comes as a bunch (lot) of rpm files)

11:57 <GitHub124> [artiq] sbourdeauducq pushed 2 new commits to master: http://git.io/Okr70Q

11:57 <GitHub124> artiq/master f9d4056 Sebastien Bourdeauducq: scheduler: fix cancellations

11:57 <GitHub124> artiq/master 4c4da77 Sebastien Bourdeauducq: gui: 'remove' buttons functionality

18:20 <rjo_> ysionneau: i would think these are binary-only kernel modules (and libs). that makes nidaqmx much less portable in practice than xilinx even if they only support one distribution.

18:26 <ysionneau> so far I'm struggling to install nidaqmx-base on one of the supposedly supported distrib : opensuse 13.1

18:27 <ysionneau> it searches for libstdc++.so.5 when there is instead libstdc++.so.6

18:29 <ysionneau> even creating a symlink seems to not work, I guess the installer does not test with something like if -e /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 but rather by using the rpm database stuff

18:33 <rjo_> ysionneau: no stdc++ 5 is _very_ different from stdc++ 6.

18:33 <ysionneau> super

18:33 <rjo_> and very old

18:33 <ysionneau> opensuse provides a package named libstdc++-33 maybe that's the -5, let's try to look inside the rpm

18:34 <rjo_> they should have a package for that. debian has it aptly named: libstdc++5

18:34 <rjo_> ysionneau: -33 is 5 (IIRC)

18:34 <rjo_> the soname is 5, the version is something like 3.3.6 or thereabouts.

18:35 <ysionneau> it would have been too easy to name it like debian with -5 :')

18:35 <ysionneau> thanks let's try that

18:35 <rjo_> dumb of them to name the package after the version and not after the soname.

18:37 <ysionneau> ok it does contain the correct file /o/

18:38 <ysionneau> but it installs it in /usr/lib64

18:38 <ysionneau> ok there is -33-32bit

18:40 <ysionneau> great, all 36 RPMs are installed

21:13 <rjo> ysionneau: are there binary only kernel modules? or do they do binary-blob + shim?
