...and it solves the white box problem too! Thanks :)

However it seems a bit slower now and i'm getting a different set of wierd errors. Ho hum. All in the name of research! – tahrey, on October 06, 2008 19:55

....and for the white box issue also! Nice, thanks. (Though I'm now getting a different variety of errors on the creation site ... and it seems slower somehow, though I don't have any way to benchmark it) – tahrey, on October 06, 2008 19:49

A comment on the problem "Which are the Photosynth system requirements?" in Live Labs:

excellent ... I haven't had that problem since you said this, but if it crops up again I'll upgrade on the work PC as well and see if it makes things better

certainly seems to have done the business for the creation side of things – tahrey, on October 05, 2008 13:57

I'd like to run Photosync in a XP VM (I have no physical Windows Installation).
BTW: A Firefox Extention would be nice that runs in Ubuntu :)

Same experience as bugmenot. Adding "mail.google.com" to my cookie exception list works. – js, on September 18, 2008 18:31

I added "mail.google.com" to my cookie exception [allow for session] list, while keeping third party cookies disabled, and it now works for me. I also always use https. I did notice that not all of my contacts are displaying [even ones with unique names and email addresses], but I am getting some results. It seems to function, but is still buggy.

there is actually a way to add exceptions in FF3, don't know about the mac versions but windows and linux has it. am experimenting with it right now. will post if I figure out what cookies I need to allow.

edit:
yep, enabling or allowing google.com's cookies seems to work. in FF linux just go to edit >> preferences >>privacy tab >> accept cookies from sites then just add google.com with allow setting. in FF windows the preferences is called options and is under the tools menu.you could turn off third-party cookies after this.

Another confirmation here that enabling third-party cookies allows Ubiquity to access my gmail contacts. However, I do not want to allow third-party cookies, is there a workaround? I didn't see anything obvious in FF options to allow an exception.

yep; enabling third party cookies does fix the issue (although contact selection is still quirky)

it seems to be a problem when you are set to using Gmails beta version. When you use the older version (classic) it works fine.

edit:
I forgot to include that I'm currently using

FF3.0.1
Ubuntu 8.04.1
a bunch of extensions and some custom ubiquity commands

edit again:

after restart am back to the original problem.switched back to Gmail beta.

edit edit edit:

yeah turning on 3rd party cookies fixes the issue. from maxpower's comments

Another vote for "I have this problem", Firefox 3.0.1, no greasemonkey or better gmail.

I was glad to hear you got it working. :) – Nathanael Lawrence, on September 12, 2008 22:54

For Michel,

You asked whether or not they called this a beta. You can read the following text on their About page:

"What you see on this site is the first of many versions of Photosynth. Call it beta, call it 1.0, call it whatever you want... just know we are hard at work adding support for more browsers, more platforms, and more hardware, and just making the experience that much more amazing." – Nathanael Lawrence, on September 12, 2008 22:50

The title of this thread is a little confusing. I've marked the Photosynth system requirements as the "company answer" at the top of this thread, so it is easy to find.

If you've found this thread because you're experiencing the Viewer startup error ("We wish Photosynth would run for you, but obviously it's not working"), please head on over to this thread: it's not working - is it my graphics card?.

(By the way, thanks to everyone for providing debugging information so far. We want Photosynth to run for you!)

I have the same problem. Am running an HP with AMD Athlon 3000+ processor - 2.16GHz. 2 GB RAM and 160 GB hard drive. Windows XP home version SP3. Video is Intel integrated. Have loaded, unloaded and reloaded software and still get "Required number of texture blend stages (4) not supported. After two evening of working on this, this may become software for those who have machines with large graphic cards, latest Intel Pentium 4 chips, etc.. I understand someone put out software only tested on Intel machines and it would not run on AMD machines until a patch was provided. This looks like a great program, but it needs to work. Thanks..

We just released a fix that addresses the blank photos/white box in 2D issue. . Existing users won't be prompted to upgrade, but you can install the upgrade here if you're affected.

This worked for me. You've got to make sure it's the official Twitter app, not TwitterSync. Thanks Adam! – Dan, on September 10, 2008 09:41

For reference, it works fine for me with:
1.73Ghz Pentium-M, 1Gb RAM (533mhz DDR2), Intel 945 series graphics (probably the lowest-end variant of such - it has shared VRAM for a start, usually only taking 8mb), IE7. It's a midrange 12" tablet PC (therefore it wasn't exactly high-spec to start with, being built for portability, battery life, and affordability) that's 2 1/2 years old now.

It does however, wierdly, have occasional trouble on my nearly-new desktop PC at work - 1.86Ghz Celeron, 2Gb RAM, and an inexplicable add-in GeForce of some kind (7300? 9300?) which should have up-to-date drivers as I updated them myself. Used IE7 with it (as something wierd with it's FFx3 install means that NO plugins will download), and it works for a while before giving up with the point cloud / white box problem.

I can confirm that it seems to be fixed for me, too. – Eridanus, on September 06, 2008 14:13
