I'm relatively new to using python have used pygame as a place to better understand how everything comes together.
I recently upgraded my laptop form a 2012 Macbook to the 2019.
Just wondering why the games I made on my 2012 are running soo much slower on my 2019 macbook. Managing packages with conda.
I don't know much but I suspect it may have to do with either
The comp resolution upgrade (which I'm doubtful)
method of installation of pygame
Initially, I Downloaded python3 with homebrew and then installed pygame (pygame would show a blank screen)
I then installed conda and managed packages through it.
I doubt it has to do with the way I have written it, I'm sure it's quite inefficient but I was achieving fps's of 60 for the same code.
If someone could guide me to where to find out more information It would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
This seems to be a problem with how MacOS run Pygame. While your game is running, right-click it's icon in the Dock and select Show in Finder. Then in the Folder that shows up, you will see the Python Interpreter executable. Right-click it and click Get Info, and under General check the Open in Low Resolution.
Now your game should run fine. And no, Pygame's resolution will not be "Low".
I resolved this issue by launching pygame in fullscreen. More of a workaround but a solution nonetheless.
Also if you do choose to do this be sure to create a key to exit the screen otherwise you'll need to restart your computer.

All apps like "Steam", "Slack", "Anydesk" and etc. They were all displaying in black/white in a tray at my panel.
The update for POP!_OS was pending for a few weeks, so "what the heck, let's do this!"...
It was an instant regret when the PC rebooted... all GNOME extensions were GONE! I was not expecting this to happen... =/
I managed to remember most of the extensions I had running before, so I installed them all.
Didn't take me too much time to realize that the background apps are not showing anymore. They don't show in the dash, nor the panel or anywhere else besides the System Monitor.
The gnome extension Dash to Panel is active, as it may be related I'm posting this screen shot showing that all possible areas are "Visible".
How can I display the background apps again?
Well, silly me...
I really don't know the reason for it, but seems like the package https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator was uninstalled during the update.
So the solution for the issue was:
Installing this extension: $sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
Enabling it in the gnome extensions manager: Ubuntu Appindicators
I hope it helps someone! =)
I'm working with Fortran for academic purposes. It used to work OK in the past but after a OS upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04 this issue started to happen.
When I compile a code with errors, they are listed in the Problems tab but in Project Explorer. The source files are not marked with red as before. This results in a painful search for the line in which the error is, instead of double clicking the error message and being automatically taken there.
I already rebooted and restarted Eclipse more than once, and tried a bunch of other things also. One important tip may be that it happens in Eclipse Mars 2 (the same one I used in Ubuntu 14.04) and the same behavior in Eclipse Neon (recently downloaded and installed).
Thanks in advance for any insight in this, not very serious, but yes very nagging, problem.
I've installed eclipse Mars.1 Release (4.5.1), and than i've installed spring plugin as i always do with a new linux installation (by the way i am running Manjaro Linux 15.09 fully updated with KDE) but this time i am facing a problem i have never seen before!
Everytime i go to the preferences window, the right pane won't update according to the selected option.
Ex: when i open the preferences window, if i try to drill down the "General" option, the right pane won't update, no matter what i choose in the left pane!
Can anyone help?
I had the same problem. The reason was because Eclipse didn't set up completely - there was some background tasks running (freezing actually).
Try to run Eclipse with another JRE version. I have this problem with 8u60, but everything is fine (as fine as it can be with Eclipse) when I use 8u45.
Off topic - I strongly recommend everyone to stop using Eclipse and go to Intellij IDEA. Your life will become much more happy.
UPD I faced that problem again with the new workspace, so maybe this isn't about JRE version. Try to wait a few minutes, reopen workspace again, this worked out for me.
So I have a lot of VM's with ubuntu 10.04 which recently went off of support.
I don't really care that it went off of support but the window that Ubuntu is showing to tell me this fact is freezing up, and it keeps launching more and more copies of Update manager to tell me this fact.
Including a screenshot of the message. When I click close it just freezes and I have to manually kill the process, but then it comes back later. Any suggestion on how I remove the warning?
So I should have googled better.
The solution to this is from https://askubuntu.com/questions/122165/10-10-irritating-updater-message
Just open software sources and set Release Upgrade to Never under the Updates tab.This stops the message from recurring. Thats it.
I am trying to execute one of Daqri's AR demos, but I keep getting
"Failed to initialize player's 3D settings"
...error every time I try to run the demo (Which is essentially a webpage).
I am using unity 5.0.0f4 and even 4.5.3f3 (As a tried to implement a fix that I found on a forum...it didn't work). I am on Windows 8.1.
I'm fresh out of ideas can anyone run the examples in the demos?
What do I do to fix my WebPlayer so that it can run the demos?
Try this. Furthermore, I would just uninstall everything and just reinstall with a stable version of Unity 5.
