I dont know why my question about nvidia driver dependency issues is not accepted by stack overflow guidelines [migrated] - nvidia

This question was migrated from Stack Overflow because it can be answered on Meta Stack Overflow.
Migrated 17 days ago.
I'm having trouble understanding why my question does not meet guidelines ("This question does not appear to be about programming within the scope defined in ..."). I asked for help on Nvidia driver dependency problems. I explained the commands that I used to try to solve my problem, and the errors I got. I don't get it. I couldn't find any appropriate tags to use to ask this type of question on this site.

I can't tell if you're just trying to install the NVidia driver as a normal end-user of a Linux laptop or if you're trying to install the CUDA variant which would let you do extra compute.
In both cases, it's not the case that a programmer would have the expectation to know something about this. Might be better suited to ask on Unix & Linux.

I have installed Docker desktop for Windows (docker 19.0.3 on windows 10). While I go to settings it hangs with status updating and never comes back.
I have tried uninstalling and installing but doesnt help.
Hyper-V and Container features are switched on in windows 10.
Kindly help me in knowing what exactly might be wrong with this ?
The only way I could fix this was by opening a powershell and switching daemons:
& 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCLI.exe' -SwitchDaemon
For anyone else having this same problem on Windows 10, through troubleshooting I discovered the WampServer had some kind of conflict with Docker (possibly to do with ports). I know not everyone who experiences this hanging phenomenon is using WampServer. But for those who are, I hope that me posting what I learned after hours of research and head-scratching will save you some time and frustration.
(Moderator, if the following comment is somehow illegal, feel free to delete it)
I'd love to know how many were helped by this.
I solved this problem by "Reset to factory defaults".
For me, only this worked: Troubleshoot -> Clean / Purge data
#Eric Hepperle - in current docker version there is selection tooltip which data set(s) you want to delete.
Running Docker Desktop as Administrator you can access to settings. Many days to find it :-(
For me it helped to use Clean / Purge data from the troubleshooting menu. The menu is accesible by right clicking on the docker tray symbol -> Troubleshooting.

Is it possible to compile iGraph, graph layout library for iOS?
I haven't. I don't know anybody who has. But I've also never heard of it before.
The website claims it is written in C/C++, so in theory you should be able to get it running on iOS. You may need to make some modifications.
Looking more closely at the documentation, it appears to be a plain C API (even better!) so it should be fairly easy to compile for iOS. You will probably have to edit the Makefiles to have it cross-compile for ARM (instead of Intel).
However, the source code is published under the GNU GPL. There are clauses in the GPL that conflict with clauses in the Apple Developer Program Agreement (I forget the specifics but it should be easy enough to research). This means that if you got it working in an app, you couldn't put it on the App Store without either Apple or the iGraph developers offering you different terms.
Not sure about iGraph, but I've been thinking of trying Core Plot.
It's a graph plotting 3rd-party iOS framework.
Not a lot of documentation, but you can see some apps that already use it if you browse their site.
Not sure why you got voted down. Happens.
Edit:
Oh, in that case, this question might help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5074186/1126783

What is the best linux distro for deploying ruby on rails web apps on a production server.
The web app will use advanced cache features, graph creations and lots of other cool features.
Please advise.
I like Ubuntu Server mostly cause it's well supported and readily available on almost all cloud services.
Fedora 14, No Doubt... Actually there's a tutorial on how to setup a Complete RoR Development Enviroment in the Blog where I write... The post is in Spanish but I believe you'll understand terminal commands quite good:

Also there's a Gadget on the Blog to translate posts into different Languages...
Good Luck!
Taking account that Rails relies substantially in console commands, any Unix based distribution will be good. My advice: use whatever you feel comfortable with. If that's not the case and you want to learn a suitable distro for Rails, I would recommend Fedora as Jmlevick suggested.
For Rails,it usually offers latest Ruby version directly in the distribution. Also the whole Rails is packaged as RPMs, making it easier to instal. You just need to download the RPM version of the gem with pre-compiled extension and you're done.
If you want to see the docs about Ruby or Rails directly from Fedora check out the links.
Also to take into account, Fedora is a friendly user distro, easy to install and it has a huge community, so in case of a problem, just do some research. In case that you have Mac, that would be also fine.

Is KCFinder a legal alternative to CKFinder [closed]

On the one hand there is http://ckfinder.com/
CKFinder or the people behind it have always been very vague about their licenses when we asked information about them, so we aren't really fond of using their commercially licensed products.
So I've looked for an alternative and found http://kcfinder.sunhater.com which comes with an LGPL license, perfect for use in a commercial application that just wants to use the file browser and not modify it.
Now they both look very similar and my question is: is KCfinder a legal alternative to CKfinder? Or is it an exact and modified copy?
Does anyone know this or can find this out?
Yes. Just because KCFinder has a similar name and interface doesn't mean that it violates the license of CKFinder. To do that, it would have to reuse the CKFinder code, and the author says he developed KCFinder "because I was unable to find a usable free alternative of the commercial CKFinder." There's no reason to assume that he copied any code. If he had, the author of CKFinder would have undoubtedly found out, and it would no longer be available.
Its being featured on the SourceForge Blog should erase any doubt. blog
A good alternative is elFinder (http://elfinder.org/).
Licensed under a 3 clauses BSD license.
At least the name is clearly a low level marketing attempt to confuse users and disturb CKFinder. There is a good chance that this is a trade mark violation.

Which LOLCODE interpreter to use? [closed]

This is similar to this question. What I am asking though, is which LOLCODE interpreter should I pick based on these criteria:
1) Works well and is up-to-date
2) Ease of install - I've looked before and couldn't find one which I found easy to install.
Please feel free to give your suggestions and opinions, I haven't looked in a number of months and am curious as to what people think, and I look forward to learning it.
EDIT: I am just doing this to learn LOLCODE. Why? Because I can and I think it would be fun to declare variables with ICANHAZ and end programs with KTHXBAI. I'm really just curious. I would really prefer that it be as close to spec as possible. I don't care if it's open or closed source and it can run in either Windows (my desktop) or Linux (my laptop). Hope this helps!
EDIT 2: I have downloaded the LOLCODE compiler available here. However, I am having trouble figuring out some of the instructions so I am still open to any suggestions for any other interpreters/compilers.
I highly recommend repl.it. It's online, but available for download. It also has other languages like Emoticon, Python, JavaScript and many others. Here's a complete list...
Ruby
Python
Lua
Scheme
QBasic
Forth
Javascript
Javascript.next
Move
Kaffeine
CoffeeScript
Emoticon
Brainf***
LOLCODE
Unlambda
Bloop
Unlike the name implies, it has a scripting box right next to the REPL. A perfect setup I believe.
My friend created once LOLCODE interpreter for some project on our Univ. It requires Ruby with some gems, but I don't remember exactly which. I can update answer later when I have time to check it by myself. Here is link to github repository.
