00:28.21 ibot Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic. Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will.
00:35.46 Osaze_ Ok. I have successfully installed the virtual box and have access to the terminal, but I cannot launch isst when typing it in the terminal. I am able to launch mged and archer, but when I try to launch isst, I get an error in the start up script, saying "couldn't load file" followed by the directory of the executable
00:39.19 Osaze_ I do however get a blank isst window without any options
00:39.54 Osaze_ after running the command.
00:41.20 Osaze_ The same thing happens when I try to run the executable located in /usr/brlcad/dev-7.21.0/bin/

01:33.16 caen23 Skriptkid: virtual machine?
01:35.40 caen23 also, regarding buildbot on windows, have you tried creating a new build factory inside master.cfg and attaching it to the windows slave? the steps need a little adjustments, but cmake is available at the prompt, and for compiling, have you seen this? http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#visual-c

16:42.14 Ashish101 OK
16:47.17 Skriptkid Ashish101: In mged, ctrl + (an alphabet) opens up a menu item.(Example: ctrl + h opens up the "Help" and ctrl+s opens up "Settings") This si probably what the task description means
16:47.26 Skriptkid *this is
16:47.39 Skriptkid So you'll need to document such shortcuts

16:49.21 Skriptkid I'm not sure, but Introduction to MGED(the pdf, first link in description) might have it. But you can just open mged and eplore them. Press ctrl+h or ctrl+s, the other shortcut alphabets will be underlined

18:21.38 Silvrous Thanks. I'm trying to think of ways to test these better. 'Brlcad' said to test if it returns certain values for certain seeds, but it would be impossible to test the whole table with precomputed values, since it's generating 4096 numbers, so I'm only checking the first few numbers in the table. Would it be ok for instance if I checked for uniformity by calculating the average of the table?
