Re: Failure to build amd64 current

2023-03-20 Thread Germain Le Chapelain
Thank you so much:  yes it would make sense:

I would have created the objs dir for the tools but not for the release or 
something

I did a fresh check out of the tree and the full command in one row, with the 
release this time.  I was starting to get an error I had in the past 
(VCSVersion.h not found) for which only this worked.  I understand the build 
process put things in /usr/src as well.

It should work.  🤞

Thank you Matthew!
Best,

Failure to build amd64 current

2023-03-20 Thread Germain Le Chapelain
Hello!

I have amd64/9.3 on which I am trying to build amd64-current.

It dies on errors of the like in gcc/i386:

`./build.sh -j 6 -u -x -U -o -T ../obj/tooldir.NetBSD-9.3-amd64 release

was the command for that run (I had a succesful build of tools before, but 
forgot to put `release'.

I am trying now w/ `./build.sh -m amd64 -r -x -U tools release install-image' 
(after having nuked my `/usr/obj') but I anticipate it'll fail as well (I tried 
other combination of specifying the architecture, removing the parallel jobs.)

Thank you!

Thank you kindly for your answer, Mr. van Elst;

Later I came across another email about pkgdb moving from /var/db to /usr/pkg
I also got a message about that later on (trying to build from pkgsrc after 
using pkg_add)
the message instructed to simply move the db which sounded a bit too good to be 
true.

After doing so I was getting circular dependencies in cwrappers.
I remember the email/ update -I forgot- had additional instructions regarding 
something-pkg-2020-10-20 and that was actually part of the error message, but..

.. I figured I should not mix pre-built binary install w/ current code.
Or at least not do so and complain ;)

So I did a blank re-install of current (9.99.76 ?) and I am now back to the 
earlier problem of the entropy

(Re-included riastradh)

It's building firefox again,

I haven't yet tried any work-around mentioned in the email introducing the 
change
But I am confused about the issue, why this arises.

I thought the way randomness was implemented is that you would initialize one 
seed-number to an amd64 and it would pass you back random #s, anytime and at 
any rate, *guaranteed* to be random, provided that for sure your initial # was 
random... 

Anyways.  I will dig in .. things..
Right now , I am going over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND and I am on 
board with that so far.. :/



Thank you!

I have gotten another crash, simply running ‘pkg_add firefox’

This was on a fresh , blank install of 9.1

This time the crash was in pkg_add itself (‘segmentation fault (core dump)’)

However, I cannot find a pkg_add.core where it happened

I got a message ‘the database in [/usr/pkg/share/applications] could not be 
updated’ just before.

I have fallen back to 8.2 for now.
It holds!

I did get the time out once more, I wonder if it is when the device goes 
inactive for a while, but
I was ssh-ing to it.

Aside from that everything is really hunky-dory, (Actually I find it a better 
experience in comparaison to 9.1:
 . framebuffer on console
 . no extra bootloader menu. Had I messed-up on install?)

Videos are a little slow in full screen, in spite of i915 seemingly working 
perfect (>1000fps on glxgears.)

This is with firefox68.  I'm giving a shot to pkgsrc's as we speak (maybe a 
couple days of compilation ;)
Speaking of which this was my 1st time using precompiled binaries.  It is like 
entering a new dimension :|.)

I can put up a PR for the crash on 9.1: I kept dump & kernel.
And.. I will be getting back on -current on Dec 1st!..

Thank you,

Kindest regards,

It is the change 
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2020/05/01/msg038495.html that 
seems to cause me trouble.

I tried applying the work-around steps detailed :

  o recreate the entropy file
  o feed urandom to random (or vice-versa) and syctl entropy consildated to 1

But the issues were still there.

I need to move on for the next two weeks on that (And have a functional laptop 
on NetBSD for a business trip before Wednesday, if possible :p.)

So I will put on 9.1 for now, but I am happy doing more testing later,
(Finger crossed that it will support the Atheros!.)

Thank you,

So that I got the time out again (I think ? Sorry I should have taken notes.)

That seemingly cleared the problem (could sync to cvs)
I only had the ath0 time out once , I think it was related to low battery 
(could it?)

This code is 9.99.75 

Anyways ,I was having a great time, until building in pkgsrc simply halted:

I get message looking like : Python 3.7 is blocked waiting for entropy
I can no longer ssh into the laptop,

>From it, everything looks great at first glance:

I do not have the change from sunday ( athn.c 1.24: Don't unlock without having 
taken the lock. )

I don't assume this is what will fix, nor that it is related.
I will do my homework and look up what `entrop' means in `top' and dig from 
there


Thanks!

Thank you Martin!

I will definitely have another look w/ TCP dump after all that.
Then, to whichever debugs of atheros: because it says in the manpage that 
`device timeouts ain't supposed to happen' I think.

I don't think ssh keep alive comes into play here as it wouldn't be more than a 
couple seconds stall before disconnecting (if there is a stall at all actually.)


Oh! And I forgot to mention, to your earlier point about the hard-drive:
The computer had a lot of problems while running on Windows: 

Weird `semi-stalls' when watching youtube:
The computer would come to a crawl , the video would freeze and the sound would 
be slown-down by 10 (and be extremely shoppy: like hearing a 10Hz rendition of 
the original play back slown down.)

Anyways, it would only make sense for the hardware to act up similarly.
In fact one of the goal for landing BSD on it was to get a better insight of 
what could be wrong inside, or if it was only software-related.

Thank you again!

Mm: athn0: device timeout,  and in dmesg: athn0: autoconfiguration error: 
device timeout

After that , I can no longer ping the router at 192.168.0.1, and pinging the 
very machine from its IP (192.168.0.107) is extremely spotty at best

I see there are very recent updates (as recent as last sunday.)

I will try soon w/ the code from when I sent the mail two weeks back,
Then if it doesn't fix it with the latest (including change from Sunday.)

But I wonder if:

1) I should use netbsd-9
2) Atheros works reliably,

CVS Problem (again) ,Slightly lesser old code, but old still [was Re: Console problem ,older code]

2020-11-18 Thread Germain Le Chapelain


Hi !

In my attempt to debunk, I ran into another snag:

While re-checking out pkgsrc, we got :

client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (conslut above messages if any)

I've had it in the past!
What's troubling now is that it is a completely different computer altogether, 
using Wi-Fi instead of wire, and I got the snapshot wrong so it is a different 
version for the OS: (9.99.68,  the other is 8.99.51)
Almost a year appart!

I wonder if this could be that we're behind a static IP ?

I am pretty sure any mirror will work, once more.  Or on Cygwin (that use to 
work too.)

Anyways I will try with the latest sources and report.

The image installed like a charm on a Toshiba Tecra though :)
Bye-bye Windows!

Thank you,

everything by default (I think nouveau was coming in by default ? Maybe I 
enabled it, either way I use it for my NVidia.

I can certainly restart, update and retry. We can even switch to a proper 
release instead.
Is this actually a better way for us ? 
(It is a production system, but the service is absolutely non-essential, so we 
are happy to test.)


I came here for the education. I remember running into problems around there 
before too.

What would *YOU* do ? ;)

Thank you!

Fw: (Not so) New Install

2019-08-26 Thread Germain Le Chapelain


Hi!


So I have been running on a new install (8.99?) since a few weeks now.

I tried UEFI first (because I am not sure what it is about) and that would 
stall on start-up.
I have a T510.  I forgot the error message sorry.
Anyways the other version works great.

I figured I would start a new thread with the problems [1] [2] I had before as 
well as the new ones:
(Feels like it belongs in netbsd-current more than netbsd-users where they were 
before.)

 o CVS: I am still getting the `broken pipe' error when trying to sync from the 
main server.
   I will try commenting out locally the key that comes with the install,

 o Attaching GDB to a process:

- Effectively I am not seeing the problem of seeing a thread twice anymore.
  So that's a big plus! (That was the leading reason for the update.)

- the GDB front-end of XEmacs is now slightly broken and showing what seems 
to be 
  control characters where the colors of the debug text should change
  (For instance: "(gdb) bt
#0  0x7f32d444295a in read () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12")
  That's really not a big deal though.  I suppose I should be using plain 
GDB.
  Even better it forced me into giving another shot at the real Emacs (as
  opposed to XEmacs) and I have to say it's quite the killer with all those 
frames.

- A few packages did not compile/install out of the box for me.
  I kept the log (with the errors) I can open individual PRs and/or start 
looking on my side.

  From memory among them were:

. MLDonkey
. Firefox


As always, thank you for all the softwares!

Kind regards,

Germain
