In general, this is a bad idea: ATLAS gets its speed by specializing for particular platforms, so the more generic a library is the less performance it will achieve!" and this is what we are doing. We even compile it with sseX options which is soon worse than doing nothing: " Never use these libraries unless this portability is absolutely required. They must use portable settings for blocking, for instance, which will mean that on many platforms they will use only a fraction of the actual cache, causing large performance drops. Even worse, peak performance may by reduced by as much as factor of 8, due to not using the proper ISA extension. The most portable ISA uses only the x87 unit, which has a much lower peak rate on most modern machines (eg., an Intel sandy bridge can do 16 flops/cycle using AVX in single precision, but only 8 flops/cycle if using SSE, and only 2 flops/cycle using the x87 unit).

Re: [Mageia-dev] mageia 3 beta 4 installer infinitely slow?
better to have a bug and mark it release critical Done. A side effect is that the mirror changed in between and the installation ends up failing after a few hours. Interestingly enough, it looks like we are installing the important packages first because I rebooted on the harddrive and ends up having a graphically bootable mga3 distro and was able to run a urpmi --auto-update which installed more than 1000 packages!!! I don't know if this is wanted, but that is cool :)
[Mageia-dev] mageia 3 beta 4 installer infinitely slow?
Hi, just tested a boot.iso with network upgrade from mga2->mga3. That's completely unusable even on a 10Mb connection. It announces more than 10h of upgrade even by selecting the minimal number of media (core release only). Playing with the CTRL+ALT+Fx, the packages are downloaded fast (up to 10Mb/s) but the installer looses *a lot* of time doing this: "workaround bug in rpmlib by removing /var/lib/rpm/__db*" is that pb fixed already or shall I open a bug report?

Re: [Mageia-dev] [RFC] rsyslog vs journalctl
Are you sure that there still is a problem? There were some bugs that have been fixed months ago. Aside from that the memory usage could be off as journal uses mmap. But systemd always uses the journal (not runtime configurable IIRC), so best to make it efficient. It should also somehow be low maintenance. Meaning: maybe it will use less memory when there is less available (guessing)? I don't know about mmap, but that's what a top gives on the current cooker: 326 root 1 0 1064m 37m 36m S0 1.9 0:14.73 systemd-journal even though it is only virtual, that's sound crazy to go up 1GB. rsyslog never goes above 1M. Cheers, Chris.
Re: [Mageia-dev] [RFC] rsyslog vs journalctl
On 06/02/13 09:52, Olav Vitters wrote: By default Mageia 3 should only have journalctl. Optionally you can still install rsyslog. Any syslog package will store the same information as journalctl does. Installing this by default provides little benefit, so it was decided that we only do journalctl by default. If installed, you double the storage used for logs. Something I mentioned a while ago is the memory resources taken by systemd-journald vs rsyslog; it is an order of magnitude greater. We don't care with modern machines, but I would let the option available for old small RAM computers (or reduce the systemd-journal mem resources). Cheers, Chris.

Not doing this causes some issues, like the library to actually become unshareable across different processes. Since these are allowed in iX86 but not on x86_64, building all objects on x86_64 with -fPIC will hide any "missing -fPIC from build script" issues. Note that there can't be very many problematic failing packages, since we and mdv have managed this far without it. - It is not needed except on shared libraries, and will cause a small performance penalty (due to one less register being available when using relative addressing).

Hi there, I have just installed mga3 beta1 on a brand new machine for my folks and everything went fantastically fine in a first try. Congrats. So I decided to test other options and managed to end up in an infinite loop that hung the installer. There how to do it: 1) choose additional sources with http 2) accept the default mirror chosen (which was in Germany). Unfortunately that default mirror was very very slow 3) Many packages got downloaded from that mirror with an estimated time of 3-4 hours, so I clicked on "Annuler" (french install) 4) The installer went on with only the DVD package but ended up being frozen soon after. Playing with the CTRL+ALT+Fi, the do loop was due to pango packages already installed from the network before the "annuler" and more recent that the ones on the DVD. The log were incessantly showing: "Chosen pano-1.32.4... for pango more recent pango-1.32.5... is installed but does not provide 1.32.4... Selecting pango 1.32.4... Unselecting pango 1.32.4..." and the same message repeted forever Hope it helps! Cheers, Chris
[Mageia-dev] acpid under systemd
Hi Colin :) I have a funny issue with acpid as it is started under systemd (on mga2) I have a little script on my laptop in /etc/acpi/actions that starts xset -display dpms force off or xset -display dpms force on according to the lid state. That commands used to work in the pre-systemd era but now does nothing when acpid is started by systemd. Now, if I start acpid manually from a terminal it works, I can only see some eventual permission isssue with cggroup, Any idea how I could debug this? Cheers, Chris.

Re: [Mageia-dev] updating torque?
the obvious question Do we really need 2 branches of torque ? Why not simply say bye-bye to 2.* series ? -- Thomas Agreed! I was just avoiding to do a big jump as 2.5.x is still maintained upstream, but ultimately that could be the plan. As we have some bugs on the current 2.5.3 version on mga2, we could also fix them by upgrading to 2.5.12, drop 2.5.12 in cauldron and move the 4.1. The folks at torque says: << The 2.5.x branch is the current maintenance build and will continue to have minor features and functionality added to it. The build has been deployed successfully in many environments and is considered reliable. Build torque-2.5.12.tar.gz is the latest release and the one we recommend most sites use. >> For the branch 3, the summary is not very encouraging :) << The 3.0.x branch has all 2.5.x functionality plus support for NUMA architectures, such as SGI. The 3.0.x branch is not backward compatible. Even though the 3.0.x code branch will work on all platforms we recommend 2.5.x for sites that do not need NUMA. Build torque-3.0.6.tar.gz is the latest release for the 3.0.x branch and will be the last release in the 3.0.x branch. Adaptive Computing support for the 3.0.x branch will end on December 31, 2012. >> 4.1 is indeed the next step: << The 4.1.x branch has added significant enhancements and a streamlined architecture for managing workload faster, more reliably and with easier administration on Cray systems.

[Mageia-dev] updating torque?
Hi, torque package is not maintained by anyone. The version we have on mageia is 2.5.3 which is *very* old. Torque comes in various branches, the version 2 is now at 2.5.12 wheras the last version is 4.1.0 The spec file is an old monster from mandriva that would need cleaning. Some scripts have been extracted from the very old source files, and then edited by hand, moved to SOURCES/ and are still in use to overwrite the new ones coming with the new version. If by chance this is still working, it won't at some point :) I am actually using torque at work (but from centos...), so I can give it a try; unless someone has a peculiar interest in doing it instead. My plan is: 1) Upgrade 2.5.3 -> 2.5.12 + drop old scripts + clean specfile 2) Import torque 4.1.0 and create torque2 branch 3) Eventually drop torque2 branch at some point Please let me know if you disagree or have any comments! Any suggestions welcome. Cheers, Chris.

Anyway even when I was maintaining X a few years back, I don't think I ever started it from the text console. I always used the official methods for starting X (service dm restart in those days). So not sure it's really all that needed for debugging. Thanks for the explanations. If this is a matter of ACL only, I would let startx existing even of sound or acceleration is not working. I also remember mandriva times for which the dm was not working. Or simple than that, when hald was switched off and autoadddevice=false, startx was usefull to open a X session. Cheers, Chris.

See this comment (and the link therein) for more info on the issue: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4652#c9 Hi there, as many, I don't understand (yet, it not ever) systemd :) But what do you mean? An user could no longer starts in runlevel 3 and start an X session directly ? This is the way we actually debug X, that sounds very unreasonable to me. Cheers, Chris.

Hi people, xinit has no maintainer, I am happy to do so but the spec is a bit scary as it has a lot of patches, some quite old and maybe no longer needed? I have just upgraded it to the latest keeping (and fixing) all orignal patches; please if you have a request of warning, make a comment here. tv seems to be the last one having upgraded it, let me know if there is something I should do or not do!

[Mageia-dev] oxygen-gtk tabs freezed?
Hi there, am I alone to get frozen tabs with our wonderful (ironic) and still compulsory oxygen-gtk theme??? Seriously, try userdrake, I cannot click on the "group" tab. This happens also with some menus in gkrellm and some other gtk applications. If I force remove rpm -e --nodeps oxygen*, this works fine again. I can fill a bug report if this is not some funny issues on my side only. Chris.

Re: [Mageia-dev] Too many tmp directories
On 21/01/12 20:06, Colin Guthrie wrote: What's wrong with this? It's showing you the mounts that are active... would you rather it filtered out e.g. /sys etc? Generally speaking df is a more useful command than mount IMO anyway, and it's always been the command I use when I'm just wanting a quick overview. Nothing wrong, just unusual and not very informative. I have always used mount to see what was actually mounted as disk or media. Now, it looks more informative of kernel and system stuff than user stuff; but df still fine indeed! Chris.

Hi there
Thank you Venerable Master, I owe you everything and will do my best to
not turn to the dark side, of course, and honour your teaching with
dignity!! :)
There is a fantastic atmosphere around, I should thank everyone who
helped me, as Colin for his patience and others for their answers to
boring questions (now I can think of a few that were indeed jokes).
Anyway, even if I am now able to not piss on myself doing a mgarepo
"hello word", I'll still ping you, people, for some help I guess :)
Cheers,
chris.
