present mode ?? 0091
Aug 22nd, 2005, 3:57am
 
i am using 0091 with my powerbook G4 15'' 1GB Ram with no problems since now.. I tried to use it on a G4 12'' with 256MB Ram... everything works fine except the present mode:

1. the processing window in not in the center it is more up than usual..
2. there is no stop button
3. I cant exit with ESCAPE
4. I get this message:

apple.awt.EventQueueExceptionHandler Caught Throwable :
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

at java.nio.Bits.reserveMemory(Bits.java:619)

any ideas ?
any help is appreciated cause I need it for a live performance next friday the 26th August !!!


I tried the example files and they also cause the error..

try looking for any unclosed block comments. That usually gets you the out of memory error the quickest.

Another way is try expanding the allotted memory for processing. The way to this on PC is edit the run.bat, change the 128mb to 512m or more and use the run.bat to run processing.

hmmmmm.. I cant expand the memory cause the little powerbook has only 256MB Ram.... Is this the problem? Do I need more RAM?????

It has also nothing to do with libraries and stuff.. Cause I tried the example files and with them it is also not working...

so maybe it is this:

http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108

But i am using OSX 10.3.4
with both Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2
Any solutions? It might be a problem for 12'' Powerbooks and ibooks..

Apart from the ram possibility what is different about the software config on the two systems?

is the ram interchangeable on the 2 systems. A quick test could be performed that way, or you could just send it to someone else to try.


Or, would limiting the ram on the 1g machine be a better test.
Clamp it down to 256mb

k, adding a note to make this more explicit in the faq, but closing this thread since it's not our bug.
