SensorKinect not installing? - windows-8

I was recently following a tutorial in a "Kinect Hacking" book that I purchased on Amazon. The first thing I was asked to do, is to check to see if my Kinect plug would fit into my laptop's which it did. I was then asked to download OpenNI from the following link: http://www.openni.org/Downloads/OpenNIModules.aspx
The only problem is that the link given above redirects to a "unknown page" (which is probably due to a recent site update...Anyway, I download OpenNI from here instead: http://www.openni.org/openni-sdk/ (for Windows), and it installed fine, though after then asked to additionally install Sensor Kinect from the following link: https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect (that link did work) and executing the .exe file, I received an error message saying to: "Please install OpenNI version 1.2.0.4 or higher!"
So...what should I do?
Thanks in advance! (I haven't had any help on the OpenNI forums, so I posted here).
P.S I'm running Windows 8

Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem, and after some research I found that the new OpenNI isn't compatible with the SensorKinect, so in order to fix this I have to download the version that is slightly dated, luckily a site called "ZigFu" has all the necesary plugins built onto one: http://zigfu.com/en/downloads/browserplugin/

Selenium | Chromedriver Android

I can't find the answer to this question anywhere.
Chromedriver has a page that tells you that it can be installed on android. But I didn't really understand anything, I didn't find the file for the jump and the installation, too. I downloaded a file for linux, I thought maybe Google meant it, but no, it doesn't open in termix.
Please, if you know or can find the answer, then share. I will be incredibly happy.
And if there are no options, how to do it. That is, does anyone have instructions for installing a NORMAL and full-fledged Linux on Samsung A5?

Mono - Corlib not in sync with this runtime

I am trying to get Sonarr running on my xubuntu server as it is the last thing i need to move to decommission my windows server. I've gotten emby running with mono without issue, but I'm getting this error when trying to run sonarr:
Corlib not in sync with this runtime: expected corlib version 111, found 138.
Loaded from: /usr/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll
Download a newer corlib or a newer runtime at http://www.go-mono.com/daily.
I've tried updating my packages with the mono main channels, then beta channels, then the alpha channels and continue to receive this exact problem. go-mono.com/daily doesn't resolve in my browser.
Any answer's I've found on forums for this issue seem to just say to get the thing straight from the mono repos to cure the issue, which I did from the beginning.
If this helps at all, before this issue I had the mscorlib not found error, because there was no /usr/local/lib/mono or wherever it is suppose to be and I had to symlink /usr/local/mono i think (not sure on those paths exactly, my brain is about fried at this point.) This is on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

GitHub asks me to "add a new helper tool" every time I open it

Every time I open GitHub for Mac it asks me to "add a new helper tool" and prompts me for my password. Every time I enter my password (I am an admin on this computer) but I see no noticeable changes afterwards and the prompt comes back every time I reopen GitHub. (See attached photo for the prompt window.)
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10 on a Late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5).
Unsure if this is related but I am running GitHub version "Reactive Barbecue (186)". According to the GitHub for Mac release notes this is NOT the newest version, but when I select "Check for updates" it says I have the latest version. Would a fresh install of GitHub solve this? This is more of a nuisance and doesn't noticeably impede my work.
I use GitHub daily for XCode pushes with my coworkers. They all use MacBook Airs and OSX Yosemite but do not have the same issue as me.
I was also having this problem.
Cause? Maybe GitHub.app was confused by multiple git installations: XCode's Command Line Tools and Homebrew's copy (a newer version and includes bash completion).
Running the shell command git credential-osxkeychain returned a "usage" line, so a helper was installed despite that message.
Fix: Downloading and running GitHub Desktop successfully installed its helper. I think GitHub Desktop.app is the new name for GitHub.app, so apparently they fixed the bug by now.
BTW: They wrote "If you're using GitHub for Mac or Windows, the upgrade is automatic.", but their automatic upgrade didn't fix this problem nor switch to "GitHub Desktop.app".
The only solution I found so far was to delete the GitHub for Mac application. Then I re-downloaded the app (the most recent version 193 "Big Feels").
It then gave me a popup saying I needed to uninstall the old version since OSX now comes with Git commands by default (or something like that?). Clicking "Uninstall now" made the app crash so I had to select "Uninstall later". This is sort of only a fix for the symptom since GitHub could keep telling me to uninstall every time I open it, but at least it says I have the most recent version now.
Use AppCleaner and nuke it. Reinstall.

Windows 8 pro reset

I've bought windows 8 upgrade for my windows 7 pc. I've payed, downloaded, but unfortunatly, for the entusiasm of that moment, I haven't burned a dvd or usbkey for having the iso. Now, after two week I had a bsod after a synchronization with skydrive, and after this, my pc is "broken" (I've tryed everything) ...
So, now I want to do a reset but I haven't got the install dvd (I've already tried with a refresh but nothing usefull happens) . I've searched everywhere on web but is not clear what I have to do... (I'm not able to find any official download for win8 pro) I've bought my upgrade, but I can't reinstall it? It's strange and it sounds a little silly...
Any hint?
I had the same problem. Because you own the license, you can download a Windows 8 pro from "the internet" and install it with your key. Just be sure to download a official iso with a valid hash (it doesn't matter if you get it from unofficial sources).
Of course you can also call Microsoft for support, but the former solution is so easy.

Simple-OpenNI for Processing fatal errors with the Kinect

I have been using SimpleOpenNI, a wrapper for Processing, all summer now. I use it for the Kinect to make games and demos. Last week, I have been getting a fatal error in my processing window and none of the SimpleOpenNI projects will work. Here is the error:
SimpleOpenNI Version 0.20
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x72e8f955, pid=4596, tid=4624
JRE version: 6.0_24-b07
Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (19.1-b02 mixed mode windows-x86 )
Problematic frame:
C [OpenNI.dll+0xf955]
An error report file with more information is saved as:
C:\Users\mss042\Desktop\processing-1.5.1\hs_err_pid4596.log
If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
It appears as if the new OpenNI/NITE/SensorKinect drivers do not work with the SimpleOpenNI wrapper. I have tried it with people using the old drivers and everything still works. Problem is, you cannot download the old drivers off of the websites so I cannot test if it's that or not. You can see everything I've downloaded from the simpleopenni site: http://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/
Any help with this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like there's a problem with OpenNI.dll. Make sure that:
You have the dll (It should be in Program Files where you've installed OpenNI)
Make sure you've got the Environment Variables for the Open NI paths and that the paths are correct, otherwise, you might have the .dll file, but the .jnilib wouldn't know where it is.
Had a Kinect Workshop in Uni, and my colleagues using Windows all had issues with the drivers,
so I'm just passing on what they did:
Even though they had 64-bit versions of Windows they used the 32-bit version, and used Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe(direct link via developkinect.com) after reading this message:
Comment 4 by tijmenva...#gmail.com, Oct 21, 2011 Hey all I have Solved
the unsatisfied link dll error on windows 7 64 bits by installing java
runtime (jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe)and (Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto
Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe) I uninstalled everything
and than it worked :)
hope this helpes
in Issue#17 on the SimpleOpenNI project issues page.
Another colleague used Synapse and OSC in Processing instead of SimpleOpenNI, but she had loads of errors with the drivers (basically spent a few good hours uninstalling/installing different versions). In her case, uninstalling any previous partial or complete drivers from the machine and deleting any registry entries related to PrimeSense(Sensor, Nite) and OpenNI, then using the installers from the links on the Synapse page, worked for her.
HTH
This is a long shot, but that exact error is also given if the Kinect USB and/or power supply simply becomes unplugged. Thought it was worth mentioning as it is not obvious from the error message itself and it may help someone out if they kicked their power supply and started searching for the above exception :)
