[e-users] EFL autogen problems on RHEL 6.5

2013-12-10 Thread Mathias Meisfjordskar
Hello.

I'm trying to install the latest git version via 'easy_efl.sh' and I've 
run across a problem.

When running 'easy_efl.sh' (current dev release from 
http://omicron.homeip.net), the build fails when trying to make the 
configure script in the EFL root directory. Error message is:

autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
configure.ac:1: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion
configure.ac:1: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

It's been so many years since I last struggled with auto* tools so I 
just don't know how to proceed. Numerous google searches turned up empty 
or off topic. Source directory was created for this build so no lint 
from previous builds.

PS: Are there any scripts to help build stable releases of EFL/E? Living 
on the edge is neat and all but sometimes not as productive. Been 
running E16 since release so I don't mind being somewhat behind the 
bleeding edge. :)

Some misc info:

# head configure.ac
EFL_VERSION([1], [8], [99], [dev])
AC_INIT([efl], [efl_version], [enlightenment-de...@lists.sourceforge.net])

# automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1

# autoconf -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.63

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.5 (Santiago)

how about you use the release tarballs as everyone should who doesn't want
bleeding-edge git, and you compile things as per the insructions in the
README's and the web page giving the order to compile things. it's well
documented.

 # head configure.ac
 EFL_VERSION([1], [8], [99], [dev])
 AC_INIT([efl], [efl_version], [enlightenment-de...@lists.sourceforge.net])

[e-users] e18 on Radeon? WAS: Terminology 0.4.0 is out!

 i would say its rock solidly stable. it works better than e17. it
 should also use less memory (when compositing). e18 has no choice
 there though. you composite like it or not. :)

I'm using e17.3 from SID, with composite and opengl off (it crashes
my box very hard if switched on, and I must delete ~/.e to be able to
restart enlightenment again). I have a Radeon HD 7850. Would it be a
bad idea for me to upgrade to e18 since composite is always on?

Re: [e-users] e17 hanging in PAUSE

2013-12-10 Thread Robert David
Hi Dominic,

did you found some more info on this? 
I got similar problems on FreeBSD stable/10. 

It just occasionaly crashes with similar memory errors.

I want to seek into it more, but would be helpful if you got some
results.

Robert.

  E17 frequently gets stuck in PAUSE !, when closing a window. Most
  frequently, but not exclusively, thunderbird -compose windows.
 
  Tail of the .xsession-errors file:
  ESTART: 0.22645 [0.1] - E_Shelf Config Update
  ESTART: 0.22883 [0.00237] - E_Shelf Config Update Done
  ESTART: 0.22884 [0.2] - Manage all windows
  ESTART: 0.23061 [0.00177] - MAIN LOOP AT LAST
  ESTART: 0.50552 [0.27490] - DELAYED MODULE LOAD: gadman
  ESTART: 0.50582 [0.00030] - SLEEP
  EINA: Data at address 0x806c02f74 is invalid. Replacing with zero
  page. PAUSE !
  
  that data address xxx is invalid line... is a very important
  thing. that's a sigbus. a sigbus is when an app has a perfectly
  valid bit of memory and tries to access it... BUT... it's
  inaccessible. this happens for 2 reasons. 1 - literally out of
  memory.
 
 Definitely not. The system isn't under any kind of strain, there is
 plenty of RAM and SWAP to go around and the system would start
 killing processes before something like that happened.
 
  the linux kernel overallocates by default - that means
  it hands out memory that it doesn't have, assuming apps dont use it
  all. it can happen where they do and then a valid allocation can
  get a sigbus, but the more common case i know of is... mmaped i/o.
  if the filesystem has corruption ...
 
 I think at a time when I was frequently trying to reproduce a certain
 panic in order to generate a useful kernel dump ... likely cause.
 
  now this is actually e_start's problem... it shouldnt consider a
  sigbus a normal crash offense.
 
 And it actually seems unrelated to the problem. I just had another
 round. Only this time I ran startx inside tmux, so I got a complete
 record of the session without running into the xdm auth issue when
 trying to restart e17.
 
 There's lots of output by programs like firefox and then there's a
 PAUSE ! line followed by a segfault (that one is new) and all the
 processes complain and terminate.

i'd say it's a bad idea to have an ati gpu at all. there's your root cause. ;]

That doesn't help people with laptops and ATI gpu's

I know you don't like ATI but you can't ignore that it exists, and
making statements like you just like looks very bad on the project you lead.
