Netscape 4.76 MGA DRI

2003-02-10 Thread Rhett Monteg Hollander
Hello gentlemen,

several days ago I've installed 5.0-RELEASE onto one
of my machines, which already carried 4.7-RC1. To
avoid possible compatibility problems, I did a clean
install onto another hard drive, and later recompiled
everything. Here I have a couple of annoying issues.

Shell refuses to start Netscape Communicator 4.76 (for
FreeBSD) saying binary file is not executable, but
it was (and is) running fine under 4.7. Since it was
compiled under FreeBSD 2.2.x, I have compat22
installed (together with compat3x and compat4x). No
help.

Second issue comes to be about hardware-accelerated
OpenGL under XFree86 4.2.0, using Matrox G400
hardware. Simply, there is no hardware acceleration at
all. DRM kernel modules that come with 4.2.0 are
intended for use with FreeBSD 4.x, and they don't even
compile under 5.x. I built kernel with device mgadrm
and options DRM_LINUX, as well as options
COMPAT_LINUX. After launching glxgears system hangs
up completely. Problem seems to be within libdrm. So
far I have no DRI, but software OpenGL, and 162fps
compared to 368fps under 4.7.

Recompile your kernel with COMPAT_AOUT, or load the aout.ko kernel module.

FreeBSD 5.0 comes with the DRM kernel modules in the base system, as it 
looks like you discovered.  Can you enable a serial console and capture 
the crash?

Fixed. Problem was in XF86Config, which was set up
improperly. Not sure what exactly led to that point,
because I've overwritten it with a substitute from
4.7. Now glxgears run fine, at 357fps; interesting, I
supposed 5.0 to be faster than 4.7 in this case, at
least in honour of gcc-3.2.1

I use the same patch.  Locking here is essentially equivalent to calling
panic() here (except it gives a more confusing panic message :-).

I think opening file descriptors on exec is wrong anyway.  POSIX has
close-on-exec but not open-on-exec.

Yes; I forgot to write the clause about it only being equivalent to a

INVARIANTS causes a check of an assertion that non-recursive locks

panics than the misuse since the misuse is rarely fatal.  I may be
missing something since I rarely use INVARIANTS and haven't checked

  Isn't linux.ko supposed to be rebuilt every time the kernel is

Yeah, but some people have NO_MODULES set and forget they're actually
using them.  Anyway, your problem was reported by others so it's

 I think you're talking about the WITNESS option rather than
INVARIANTS, that's the one who's at least documented in GENERIC as
being responsible for mutex and deadlock checks. And this is somewhat
confirmed by the face that an alternative kernel that I built doesn't
panic and the difference between them two is that WITNESS is disabled in
the non-panicking one.

RAM cram!!! is this a -current issue? XF86/Netscape-6.10

2001-09-08 Thread Jim Bryant

I was just checking something out in top, and noticed a big discrepancy in the core 
usage for mozilla, and XF86 looks a bit heavier 
than normal...

The mozilla in use is the linux netscape 6.10 dist direct from netscape [i avoided 
installing the -port, because it was using some 
kinda hacked version with missing menus and such]...

Could this be a netscape memory leak issue, or a -current issue??  I have *NEVER* seen 
netscape using this much core.

I'm seeing the same with linux netscape 4.78 on a August 6th -current.
Netscape starts hanging as soon as I try to load something
complicated, e.g. animated gifs, JAVA applet, etc., and I have to kill
-9 the process.

It seems I can avoid the hang by running netscape -synchronous
instead of just netscape.

I had learned about the -synchronous flag when I ran into trouble with
FreeBSD-netscape / XFree86-4 a while ago: Without the -synchronous
flag I would very soon get loads of error popups saying Xlib:
unexpected async reply or some such.

It seems -synchronous is becoming a magic spell for netscape.

  You need to install the XFree86 a.out library package.

It's not needed for the bsdi-netscape ports, because those versions of
Netscape are statically linked.  Most people don't need the a.out X
libraries for anything else.

You are using the FreeBSD a.out version of Netscape. For this to work you need
the 2.2/3.x compat distribution installed.

You can install this with sysinstall. Another option is to use the Linux
version (ports/www/linux-netscape47-communicator) which has the added advantage
of having more plugins (eg flash) available.

 You need to install the XFree86 a.out library package.  It's
 in the packages directory from the 4.1-RELEASE.. I bet there's
 something there for -current as well.

 I've got following message:

Assuming you have the a.out libraries installed as per the
   other messages, you probably need to assign the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   in the "which netscape" file to be your LD_LIBRARY_AOUT_PATH
   (I believe that is the correct name for it).

assign LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_AOUT_PATH}

   since the native netscape doesn't bother to read any library path
   but the "standard" one, which of course points to ELF libraries,
   and not a.out ones...

Under my 5.0-C setup here, the Linux netscape takes AGES to load (5min) and 
is so unresponsive, I have to kill it.

I experienced a similar problem with StarOffice 5.2, where performance was just
dog slow. Is the Linuxulator broken?

 http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.7/relnotes/unix-4.74.html#whatnew .
 The only change that looks like it applies to us is a new feature to
 delete all your e-mail when exiting the program.  I haven't tried it, but
 it seems to me that making an alias like
 
alias netscape='/usr/local/bin/netscape  rm -rf ~/nsmail/*'
 
 or putting something similar in your .logout would achieve the same thing.

  If you are talking about Expunging, I believe to netscape that means
 it actually goes through and deletes the emails that you have
 deleted... (uhh..) When I used to use netscape for my email, netscape
 wouldn't release hard disk space when you delete emails until you empty
 trash *and* run expunge.

Expunding does NOT do something like rm -rf ~/nsmail/*' but it compacts all of
your local e-mail folders by _completly_  deleting already "notched" messages.
Look on your ~/nsmail/ directory; you have there some files like inbox, sent,
trash, etc. and you also have inbox.snm, sent.snm, trash.snm, etc. The *.snm
files is a pointers' files; when you delete some locally saved message from
inbox (for example) you actually only delet the pointer to this message from
inbox.snm file not the message itself. If you don't want some day catch out
that you don't have free space on your hard drive you need to do "Compact
Folders" that deletes all such unpointered messages. In the last 4.74 version
of Netscape Communicator you can do this automatically when you exit the
program.


 Why deleting from trash doesn't do it, I don't
 know, but netscape got to be too buggy for me to use for an email client
 about a year ago.

The trash folder designed for undeleting locally saved and amiss deleted e-mail
messages, it's just a backup folder not something else. By the way, if you do
"Empty Trash on Local Mail" it automatically will do "Compact Folders" after it
(in 4.73 version there was a bug, the "Compact Folders" didn't work). So when
you "delete" some message from inbox (for example) it will just copy the
message into the trash folder and delete the pointer to him from inbox.snm
file. If you don't want the copy in a trash folder you can press and hold the
[Shift] key when you delete any message.

 Please talk to me about repository copies when you are ready.

I don't think we should be breaking up the current linux_base or linux_dev
ports, because those are (supposed to be) default Redhat installs so
redhat linux binaries get the environment they are expecting.

For additional packages, having monolithic RPM sets seems to me to be
bloat - why can't we set up a 1-1 mapping of RPM to package, perhaps by a
single "portal" redhat rpm port which grabs an RPM from the redhat site
(possibly choosing from a list as an option), munges it to extract the
PLIST and installs it?

I've suggested a similar "portal" port for the p5-CPAN ports in the
past: they're packaged by CPAN with all the information we need to know to
build a FreeBSD package, it's just a matter of munging the information in
the right way.

Netscape 6 Linux pre-release, got it going.

2000-04-10 Thread Stephen Hocking-Senior Programmer PGS SPS Perth

It needed the libjpeg  libgtk rpms from the RedHat 6.1 CD (perhaps these 
could be added to Linux_base?) and a whole lot of memory, but otherwise wasn't 
too bad. Rather slow in some circumstances, but I hope that's owing to a bunch 
of debug code being in place.

Perhaps this happens because the 'acroread4' program is a shell script

run from Netscape it finds /compat/linux/bin/sh (which is bash) and works..

 Patches to make the port compile on Current?  :-)

Well, I've been checking out the source code to Mozilla about 2X a week
(via cvs -z3 co SeaMonkeyAll), and building it on my own...  I see they've
fixed some stuff since M13.  But, putting the right stuff in .mozconfig
can be tricky.  If you put certain things in there, the build will bomb
out.

BTW, I noticed there's certain bugs with gcc's optimization code.  For
example, I used '-mpentium -O3 -pipe' as the optimization flags in
building the latest Qt snapshot.  If I used those CFLAGS I described, the
build bombs out with "Internal compiler error".  When I reverted back to
the stock CFLAGS for the Qt build (-O2 -pipe), the errors went away.

I guess I really don't have to build _everything_ on the planet with
-mpentium -O3 -pipe.  I noticed that most gcc "Internal compiler
errors" are caused by using high optimization levels.  I really didn't
notice that big an increase in performance, anyways.  The performance
increase was about on par with changing the air filter in your car.

This made a real difference in stability for me:
Before installing a new Netscape,
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/netscape
rm -rf /home/*/.netscape

Seriously, when I had old config stuff lying around, Netscape's crash
frequency was about 10 times as much as it is now that I clean up
before upgrading.

Turning off Javascript also helps, but may be contraproductive.

Also, consider Netscape 3.04 for stability.

BTW, does anyone know if its possible to write a plugin for the BSDI
version of Navigator 3.04 so that it display *.png files as it
displays *.gif files now?

As I understand, a plugin doesn't have fine enough access to the
display code to do this, right?

You could try Mozilla.  I usually check out the SeaMonkeyAll code via
cvs.  So far, it's built fairly well.  Mozilla is still a bit sluggish
now, though.  (I guess the optimization for speed will come later.)  I
can give you the .mozconfig file I used to successfully build Mozilla
on -current.

Also, xemacs has a `w3' package that does web pages, possibly png. 
(Some pages don't look very well, however.)

I dont know why it does that. I can't seem to tell that there is any
definite pattern to it, or that anything in particular triggers it. I just
deal with it, and lately I just do most of my browsing on a different

I tried this and Netscape ran Java for me for the first time _ever_, but
other X programs started using scaled versions of bitmapped fonts - bleaurgh.

Thinking about fonts inspired me, though; I copied the fonts.properties that
the Linux JDK ports at http://www.jmcm.org/tech/ports/linux_jdk.html installed,
and that works too.

(This is with the Linux Netscape version; I haven't tried with the FreeBSD
native version.)

 You may want to try upgrading your linux libraries... they may be old... I
 don't have these problems though... Netscape rarely crashes for me.

Me and one of my friends got really sick of this problem one weekend a few
months ago (under Linux), and decided to figure out what was blowing up...

After trying LOTS (about 40) of different library versions in even more
(several hundred) combinations, we finally found a few combinations that
worked (basically) every time...  NS would still blow up when heavily
strained, but 99.9% of the time it worked fine...  This was on Slackware
and Redhat Linux, dunno which versions  (It really doesn't make any
difference.)

The general rule that we found is to take the NS version you're running,
do an "ldd" on it to get the required libs, and go find what was at the
time of that NS version release the most recent version of each library.
Upgrading to a newer version almost always made NS die horribly, usually
in Java...  Sometimes you had to go back to the previous library version
on one or two of them.

After some more experimentation, I found very similar results under both
AIX and Digital UNIX.  Something tells me that they're doing something 
funny with memory pointers.

   Has the signal structure problem that hangs native Netscape

IMHO it is not a right place to ask (try to mail Netscape instead). Seems that
Netscape doesn't see any objections to bother with porting, probably because aout
binaries still supported (at least theoretically, while in fact it is huge headache
associated with the need to have two versions of each .so).

I don't see how this fixes things, other than hiding it.  Since the i386
memory model we use maps kernel and user memory all at the same time,
this code is reading directly from user space memory, right?  If this is
the case, wouldn't a copyin() be the proper thing to do?  At least doing
the useracc() would be better than doing nothing, wouldn't it?

 
   ucp = uap- /* ucp */ sigcntxp;

 Your fix suffers from exactly the same problem..  Suppose down the track
 that ucontext_t becomes smaller than 'struct sigocontext' ?  You're then
 failing what would have worked.  The check against sizeof osigcontext should
 not be fatal.

That will not happen, though.  Your proposal suffers from a very similar
problem.  Okay, let's assume that ucontext_t is _smaller_ than a
struct osigcontext.  If it fails the "osigcontext size test", it
won't go to osigreturn, fine.  BUT, it continues on, and is taken
as a valid ucontext_t instead of an EINVAL osigcontext.  Do you
see where the problem is with this approach?  Since the revision I
committed went under an assumption that's alway going to be true,
and even if it weren't, it would be updated to match the world
anyway, I don't see the problem.

The problem is that the useracc was moved earlier, and is being done on a
larger struct size before we know if it's the right struct or not.  My
suggested change is to test for only sizeof osigcontext until we know it's
the larger (?) ucontext_t.

I am running FreeBSD 4.0. I have been seeing the empty core files from
netscape 4.61 and (as of last night) 4.7 for at least a week. I use
fvwm2 and afterstep-devel. The behavior seems to be independant of the
window manager. I rebuilt all my ports (including X and new X aout
files) with the new kernel and world as of Saturday, but this has had
no effect. Mostly this behavior is anoying, although occasionally I
will see a crash when I try to read mail. Things seem a little stabler
with netscape in linux emulation mode, but I haven't kept track
closely enough to tell.

Yes, I've been experiencing that as well.  It writes a zero length
core file in my home directory and exits with signal 10:

Oct  1 16:20:53 void /kernel: pid 18518 (navigator-4.61.b), uid
1000: exited on signal 10

It's incredibly annoying, but I haven't bothered to track it down
in any great detail.

I have had problems using the combination of Netscape 4.61, Afterstep
1.7.25, and Slashdot.  Nearly every other click will cause Netscape to
crash whereas if I change the browser, the website, or the WM, I have no
problems at all.

I am using Xaccel 5.0.2 with windowmaker 0.61 but my crashes happening also 
on local file browsing ...
It is very annoying because when you begin to surf you always open multiple 
window and you can't close them without the fear to crash everything (with 
downloads too)...

I am using the FreeBSD version, perhaps the other versions (linux, bsdi) 
are immune...

Disable Javascript and the problem will go away (ugh).  I once had
it crash over 30 times in a single day.

Same here. Navigator 4.61. Previous versions didn't show this behavior.

I have JavaScript disabled by default. Still, navigator frequently
crashes on close or (I couldn't care less) exit.

It's not related to Javascript or at least not these cores ...
Here it crashes also when browsing local files (without Javascript) and it 
DOESN'T happen with 3.3-STABLE...

So it has to be a 4.0-CURRENT problem that perhaps worths to be investigate 
better...
It is not kind to have the "default" browser crashes so heavily and 
couldn't rely on it...

I'd like to know if people using other platforms (like Linux and BSDI) 
and/or other wm (I use windowmaker) has  the same problem...

Thanks for your time...

Sorry I don't know anything about debugging, so I did some

useful information. Useful from my point of view ;-) Hope it's really
useful. Otherwise please give exact guidelines or I can try limit memory
