ubuntu-14.04

please help I've been trying to set up kinect for XBOX 360 to run on ubuntu in order to start developing an application to control a humanoid robot. for the past four days I've been searching , downloading , installing and trying dozens of libraries and drivers to get the kinect to work on Ubuntu. in the beginning none was working and I was only able to read the RGB camera with "Camorama" and "guvcview" no matter what library or driver I attempted to run..

I was just adding tmux plugins to my .tmux.conf file to find out that one of the plugins (tmux-copycat I think) requires tmux 1.9. When I start tmux I get the message `Error: Tmux version unsupported. Please install tmux version 1.9 or greater!". So, what is the best way to upgrade tmux 1.8 to 1.9 on Ubuntu 14.04? Update : due to new tmux version and changes in package repository, this answer is updated to show how to install tmux 2.0 (which is better, no reason to use 1.9 anymore).

E.g. apt-get -qq -y

I'm using python 2.7 and Ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying to do this in order to have my pygame window inside my GUI On some platforms it is possible to embed the pygame display into an already existing window. To do this, the environment variable SDL_WINDOWID must be set to a string containing the window id or handle. The environment variable is checked when the pygame display is initialized So this is what I did: from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore import os import subprocess import sys class Ui_MainWindow(object): def setupUi(self, MainWindow): MainWindow.setWindowModality(QtCore.Qt.ApplicationModal)
