<div>Hi Ivan,</div> <div> </div> <div><font color="#3366ff"><font color="#3333ff">> are preloading an array of 26 images ~32K each and this crashes on the<br>> olpc.<br><br>Please provide more details. Memory allocation shouldn't *crash* the<br> machine under any (reasonable set of) circumstances; the OOM killer<br>might kick in and destroy a few processes, however. In your case, you're<br>allocating less than a meg, so something is certainly wrong if it's <br>crashing. What kind of crash are you getting? Can you post the code and<br>the images somewhere where we can test this?</font><br></font></div> <div>The program runs when images are scaled to 600 x 250 (using the gtk scale_simple function) or smaller. When we try to scale up to larger dimensions - e.g. 800 x 400 - it crashes. The application simply exits on it own. </div> <div> </div> <div>I tried replacing the images (to be loaded into the array) with smaller size (~19k) black and white images and the program runs alright. But when these are replaced with color images of similar size, the same problem occurs. <br><br>Here's the relevant part of code, KEY_X and KEY_Y are the image dimensions we're trying to scale up (default 600 x 250):</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>      <font color="#cc66cc">  self.dict_pixbuf = {}<br>        alphastring = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"<br>        <br>        for i in range(len(alphastring)):<br>            letter = alphastring[i]<br>             self.dict_pixbuf[letter] = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(IMAGE_SOURCE + os.sep + "keypress" + os.sep + letter.upper() + ".gif").scale_simple(KEY_X, KEY_Y, gtk.gdk.INTERP_BILINEAR)<br></font> </div> <div> </div> <div>Any suggestions would be appreciated!
