Hi everyone, I want to make use of the save function but it did not work. I'm using vista and R 2.5.0, winzip is installed too. Here's the code (from example ?save): > x <- runif(20) > y <- list(a = 1, b = TRUE, c = "oops") > save(x, y, file = "xy.Rdata") Fehler in gzfile(file, "wb") : kann Verbindung nicht ?ffnen Zus?tzlich:

Hello- I have been trying to install SciView under Windows Vista (Home Premium version, 32 bit OS, Intel Core Duo 2.13GHz, 2Gig RAM). I am getting an error, apparently related to the R2HTML package (version 1.54) as you will see in the R information below my signature. I have tried to email directly to support@sciviews.org for support but have had my message returned as undeliverable. Your help

Hi I am having problems innstalling new packages in R on my vista system. The error message was Error in zip.unpack(pkg, tmpDir) : cannot open file 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.4.1/library/file195610e4/tree/chtml/tree.chm When I tried to find a solution to the problem it became clear to me that I was not the only one having the same problem. I tried deleting the file from the .zip file and

Hi, This post is to prevent other people that are having trouble with Vista clients from going down a blind alley investigating problems in their samba configurations. After some research I have found (see link below) that there is a general problem for pre-installed OEM editions of Vista Business (and possibly other vista versions) in creating files and folders on network shares. The problem

Hi, I've a strange issue with the performance of file transfers between a Samba server and a Vista client. My configuration looks like this: fileserver: Samba 3.3 on FreeBSD 6.2 ----- gbit switch ----- workstation: Vista x64 When transfering files between the two PCs, I get abount 6.5 to 7 MB / sec. On my last Vista installation I got about 40 MB / sec. I've tried the following: -

I have a setup where a Vista machine that is behind a NAT connects to a Linux (debian) machine to access SMB shares on that machine. The connection is made with VPN using L2TP/IPSec. I have configured the Linux machine to act as WINS server and PPP will give the Vista machine a new IP on the same subnet and also tell Vista that the WINS server is the Linux machine. I have added one share

Windows Workgroup, private network with a Windows Vista PC sharing a folder for full access to a specific user name. The share is browsable and readable from other PCs on the network. I can mount the share on linux (Debian /Ubuntu) with no errors BUT have no permissions on the mount point once mounted (see below). # mkdir data # mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx //CHEDDAR/data data

Greetings list, I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that, unsurprisingly, nearly every new PC seems to be coming with Vista these days. I expect it'll only be a matter of time for all of us before clients start needing Vista-compatible softphones (if it's not already happened). So, what's the story with Vista compatibility amongst the softphones currently out there?

Dear Daniel (and Duncan): back in January you reported that you were having trouble saving an rgl movie on Vista. I don't know if you ever got that resolved, but a student of mine is now having a similar problem, not specific to dynamic graphics (which would have to be a problem outside of rgl anyway). He may report more on the symptoms, but essentially rgl.snapshot produces black or funky

Is anyone else seeing Vista (final) will not "connect" to a samba-hosted printer? I'm getting error 0x00000057. I can connect to the port only and install a local driver, though. It's just that the drivers will not load correctly. The drivers do load partly, because I can see driver-specific attributes if I go to "Properties" rather than "Connect". But a test

Where does the R build for Vista X64 stand? The last update message is from July last year (see [R] Improved Windows Vista compatibility from Prof Brian Ripley on 2007-07-11). Is it likely to happen in 2008? I suspect that more people will start using it as Vista is adopted more widely. And I'd certainly use it for large genomics data sets. Thanks, Dan Gatti UNC-CH

I just purchased a new HP laptop running Vista Home Premium on it, turned it on and was able to get it to connect to the Internet through my home wireless network. But when I tried to see other computers on my network I got nadda... One of my computers is running Win2K so perhaps that is understandable, one XP Pro which I don't understand why Vista can't see it, and three of my

Hello! It seems, that Vista SP1 and Server 2008 cannot join an NT4/Samba-domain. Vista once could join before SP1, if one did some modifications to the system (LAN Manager authentication level, Encryption of secure channel). But these workarounds do not seem to work with SP1 anymore. Microsoft points out that joining NT4-domains with Vista SP1 and Server 2008 is not supported/tested

hi, for some reason i can not get vista ultimate to install. i get to the page where i enter the user name and password and at the next reboot, it just gets stuck in the boot loader - see attachment. the cpu usage goes to 50% and that was it. has anyone else experienced this ? it does boot a couple of times, but i guess that it is from the installation image. created domU using the virtual

Hi, I've updated my Debian lenny to Debian squeeze last week. So I have now: libvirt 0.8.3-5 qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-3 virt-manager 0.8.4-8 Today I try to start my Vista quest again. I am surprised because it won't starts. In "/var/log/libvirt/qemu/devel-vista.log" stands "Read failed". The Console stays as a black screen after a short SeaBIOS message. I tried

Hello. I am setting up a smb server running debian etch for a small office. Due to circumstances outside my control, most of the client machines are running Windows Vista Ultimate. The shares are all set up properly, security is set, and we're good to go. Except that the throughput from any of the Vista machines to the server is at best slow and at worst abysmal. After tweaking the

This is a repost of a simple question about Windows Vista and R (with answer), along with a heads-up on other Windows Vista issues that people may not be aware of and that may impact R development. 1. The standard package install process fails because the user does not have permission to write to Program Files/R/R-version/library. Apparently the install process has already been modified to give

Hello, Does anybody know if Samba is compadable with Vista Yet? If so, is there a way for a group pr user policy to allow samba users to things in windows vista, like install programs w/o admin access. I know Vista has policies that can do this, where it cna basicly grant the user access, witha prompt or w/o a prompt. Can Samba support this too?
