[BUG] Mathematical Errors while nLaunched into CAS OS on a CX
« on: May 21, 2013, 04:48:42 pm »
Apparently, when running the CAS OS on ANY NON-CAS CALCULATOR (regardless of CX) certain things do not work. For example, I made a simple Lua program to print 2+2. It prints 5.XXXXXXXXXXe-226 (or any other number similar to it) regardless of settings like Float number, angle unit (degree, radian), or auto vs. approximate answers. Which also explains why when I was playing CubeField, the highscore was also similar to 1.132458768087e+45 and Bloxorz was naming the levels in a similar manner (2.98721408137e-67 instead of 13). However, the Scratchpad and Math documents work fine. I do not know if the problem is caused by hardware differences between the CX and the CX CAS (I am using nLaunch to boot the CAS OS on my CX) or some ndless/Lua bug. This issue does not occur when using the CX OS 3.1 with ndless on the same calculator and seems to only effect Lua programs (and possibly nClock).

Lua does not care about the document settings in 3.1. Can you please paste the whole buggy lua code?

This only happened when I installed Ndless r7xx on my Touchpad noncas with nlaunch.

Every single Lua script using numbers, it seems.
At first I thought it was a coincidence - or bad installed OS, but he is not alone : https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11855

I guess we need more experimental data, to try and understand what's happening. At least:
* CX CAS calculator running the CAS OS normally (not through nLaunch), without Ndless;
* CX CAS calculator running the CAS OS through nLaunch, with Ndless;
* CX CAS calculator running the CAS OS normally, with Ndless;
* CX CAS calculator running the non-CAS OS through nLaunch, without Ndless;
* CX CAS calculator running the non-CAS OS through nLaunch, with Ndless.

I experienced this exact problem too, though I didn't really realize that nlaunch caused this. I ran nSpaint and the coordinates were totally haywire. I hope this can be fixed :D
EDIT: FYI, I used a noncas calc running a CAS os, with ndless.

I have the same problem (nlaunched CAS OS on CAS Nspire, with the latest ndless).
Uninstalling ndless make the bug disappear.

So, this somewhat means this have nothing to do with the nspire itself (i'm not speaking about the OS here) being CAS or not. It seems to be either Ndless r7xx or a combinations of nLaunch and Ndless r7xx.

It must be caused by nLaunch. Here is the code I was using:

Code: [Select]
function on.paint(gc)
        gc:drawString((2+2),0,20)
end
Result:
Code: [Select]
5.0##########e-226
This only happened when using nLaunch to load ANY OS (not just CAS ones) on my CX non-CAS calculator.

Aren't you using ndless (and possibly a recent version) too?

To all people experiencing this bug:

Try to replace your ndless_resources.tns with this one (attached below), and tell me if lua knows how to do 2+2 again.
 :) (don't forget to reboot)

(if it still does not work, tell me where (and when) you got you nLaunch version)

Bumping the topic. I know that Excale did extra testing on his side, but still, we all need to understand the situation and fix the problem :)

this happens with me too... and i think that is simple... the problem is the ndless r7xxx, i talked with Extended when it happened... i've also the nlaunch to have the CAS oS and the switcher and it worked fine when i have a ndless r6xxx on it... this is a problem that extended will fix he have time, as he said to me...
on http://ourl.ca/18757/345621 we can see "Lua programs with timers or scores may display absurd numbers" and that's the case... if we switch to other oS that not uses that ndless r7xxx the problem disappears...

Did anyone tried the ndless_resources I have attached to my previous post?

(PS: The problems exists with ndless r6xx)

I'm using the latest ndless r7xxx, should i try it or it's only to the ones that uses ndless r6xx?
well, i didn't know about that...

If you have the problem, then try it. If you don't have the problem, and you are using nLaunch, tell me your exact config.
