2020-07-17 Thread Chris Bertin
OK, Anuradha. Yes, 965072 looks like my issue. Regarding the hang, I had a
typo in the command. That should have generated a syntax error but,
instead, it hung. No big deal, though, and not worth filing a defect,
something I try to avoid unless it's a major issue.

I did 'apt install' the ksh93 package, a better solution than just copying
the shell and updating /etc/alternatives.

I created a github account. My ID is 'chrisbertin'.

Thanks!

Re: [Bug 1887863] Re: ksh2020 has massive memory issues

2020-07-17 Thread Chris Bertin
Anarudha, I am on Focal Fossa and the ksh93 version is:

$ ksh93 --version
  version sh (AT Research) 93u+ 2012-08-01

Ksh93 is pretty clean and it has only one major bug that I never filed a
ticket for: the handling 'command | while read ...'. A simple example is:

 $ ls | while read f; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; cp $f /tmp/test/.; done
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]
cp: cp: cannot execute [Exec format error]

Whenever I am hit with this issue, I just run the command in a sub-
shell:

$ ksh -c 'ls | while read f; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; cp $f /tmp/test/.;
done'

The workaround is simple enough that I never bothered to file a ticket.
But, just trying it again, this bug has gotten worse with the FF version!:
this kind of loop now hangs after it's completed, whether or not it is run
in a sub-shell!

The valgrind output of 'ksh93 -l' is attached.

If you send me a copy of the Groovy Gorilla ksh93, I can give it a spin
and, if it's not fixed, I can file a ticket. Or I can file a ticket for the
FF version right now.

Thanks,


Chris (chris.ber...@gmail.com or chris.ber...@protonmail.com)

2015-11-24 Thread Chris Bertin
OK, major progress in isolating this issue, at least the root cause.
Culprit is java and the fact that it now creates thousands of shared
memory segments, for some reason (I am not running any java app I have
not been running for months or years but I did rebuild one using the
latest jdk). The messed up display issue arises when all shmem segments
are busy. All of them have a zero key, some of them claim to have 1 and
other 2 processes attached. Most but not all of them have the same size:

$ ipcs -ml

max number of segments = 4096

max total shared memory (kbytes) = 8388608

When 'ipcs -m | wc -l' shows 4100 lines, the display messes up. Killing
the java processes frees up all the shmem segments.

$ ipcs -m | wc -l
26

Overlap issues go away.

I linked the java and javac in /etc/alternatives back to the 1.6
versions and the problem is gone.

I should have caught this earlier by looking more closely at:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1512760 title:
Java applications leaks shmem chunks

I checked the number of shmem segments too early... And the leak is not
linear. Sometimes hundreds of segments are leaked in a few seconds,
sometimes none or very few.

OK. Just FYI, I was on 14.XX ever since it came out. When 15.XX came out,
April, IIRC, I upgraded but I didn't like it and I went back to 14.XX.
These problems just started to happen a couple of weeks ago. I had not had
any issues like this previously.

Re: [Bug 1518597] Re: All system menus, as well as dolphin and other apps totally unreadable because of overlap

2015-11-22 Thread Chris Bertin
Well, that didn't work and my system setting menu doesn't have 'graphical
effects' but I think you pointed me in the right direction!! I also noticed
that what seemed to trigger the problem was to play embedded videos in a
browser, which explains why things sometimes would work for quite a while
and sometimes would mess up quickly.

So, after trying a few things that didn't work, I changed:

System Settings -> Desktop effects -> Advanced -> Composition type:  OpenGL
2.0 instead of XRender
System Settings -> Desktop effects -> Advanced -> Qt graphics: Native
instead of Raster.


And, so far, so good, assuming the trigger was indeed embedded videos. I
will keep these settings and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks!!!

I spoke too soon! All messed up again...

 $ uptime
 16:42:13 up  1:02,  5 users,  load average: 1.56, 0.85, 0.92

And I have no idea what caused it... I don't think I did anything that I
had not done before... Crazy...

[Bug 1518597] [NEW] All system menus, as well as dolphin and other apps totally unreadable because of overlap

2015-11-21 Thread Chris Bertin
Public bug reported:

A few minutes/seconds after a system restart, all menus become
unreadable. First, the text is no longer centered, then any kind of
scrolling or change of screen result in the new text being displayed on
top of the previous content. I have been using Linux/KDE/[K]Ubuntu  for
20 years and I have never seen anything like this. I have googled for
hours and have not been able to find any information. One screenshots is
attached. It is very hard to add more because 'Choose file' is just as
messed up as all other system menus/apps and finding the right file is
very challenging...
