Re: M_PIl
On Friday, August 31, 2012 18:33:36 Jelle Hermsen wrote: Personally I just define pi with 4*atan(1). Is there a good reason to use M_PI1 instead? I defined M_PIl as (4*atan(1.)) and ran the program. It gave the same result as defining M_PIl as M_PI. The reason for using M_PIl is that it's a ten-byte float, so multiplying by it will result in better accuracy than multiplying by M_PI, which is an eight-byte float. I once wrote a Mandelbrot/Julia program that gave wrong results; it was continuing the iteration instead of stopping when it saw a previously seen value. I submitted a bug to the GCC authors. It turned out to be not a bug in the compiler. The program was comparing a just-computed point, expressed as a ten-byte float in the processor, with a previously computed point, expressed as an eight-byte float in a double variable, and they were not equal. Pierre -- The Black Garden on the Mountain is not on the Black Mountain.
M_PIl
I'm developing a program which represents angles internally as binary fractions (0x8000 means 360°). To convert the angle to radians, I used M_PI originally, felt I needed more accuracy, and found that Linux has M_PIl, which has a few extra digits so that it is accurate as a ten-byte float (the processor's internal representation). DFBSD doesn't have M_PIl, so I wrote a preprocessor directive which uses M_PI if M_PIl doesn't exist. I run a test which adds sin 45° to sin 225° and such combinations around the circle, squares the errors, and adds them up. printf(total sine error=%e\n,totsinerror); printf(total cosine error=%e\n,totcoserror); printf(total cis error=%e\n,totciserror); assert(totsinerror+totcoserror+totciserror1e-29); //On Linux, the total error is 6e-39 and the M_PIl makes a big difference. //On DragonFly BSD, the total error is 5e-30 and M_PIl is absent.

Starting KDE causes computer to freeze
I just upgraded the kernel to v3.1.0.1391.g26dd3-DEVELOPMENT and rebooted. I then logged into KDE. I got a window saying that Nepomuk Stub had crashed, which hadn't happened before (I see a window saying that Konversation crashes, when it's been running several days). A few seconds later, while my browser window was reloading its tabs from last session, the computer froze. I rebooted with the power button and the exact same thing happened. I then tried booting the old kernel. When it tried to initialize the network, I saw the same sort of nonsensical interface names as when I booted the new kernel (for fixing the hosed filesystem) wiht the old world.

You need to set vfs.hammer.skip_redo to what you actually need in your /boot/loader.conf. Possible values are: 0 - Run redo recovery normally and fail to mount if the operation fails (default). 1 - Run redo recovery, but don't fail to mount if the operation fails. 2 - Completely skip redo recovery (only for severe error conditions and/or debugging. You may want to start setting it to 1 and if it doesn't mount, then set it to 2. Let us know how it goes. With it set to 1, it boots, but there are a few messages after it says recovery is optional. With it set to 2, it still boots. Either way, the network interfaces are hosed. When running netif start, it says ifconfig: interface *** does not exist, where the three stars are spade, heart, spade. dmesg, whose beginning is cut off, shows that that's ^F^C^F.

In DFly it doesn't; it leaves a screenful of the file visible when it exits. This isn't that big a deal, except when I'm looking at my PIN or password file, which I do with less, not cat, so that it won't be left on my screen.

crashed during bulk build
The build got up to octave [4002/12503] and the computer crashed and dumped core. I think it's because I was trying to kill a process, of which there should be at most one because it's a cron job, of which there were eleven, and then ran pidof to see if any new ones had popped up. I will, as I said, try to figure out how to resume the build. The disk fullness of that partition is 66%. The disk usage shouldn't be anywhere near that, but it might be. There was an orphaned process called lt-autogen, left over from one of the previously built packages, that was hogging the CPU. Once I figured out that its working directory was inside the build, but its parent was init, I killed it. It may have been writing a huge file, which I'll have to find and delete before trying to copy the entire build directory.

There is a computer nearby that responds to sco's address when I ping it and the VPN is down. The VPN is 192.168.100, and 100 appears to be a commonly used network, as the cable modem answers 100.1 when its WAN side is disconnected. However, traceroute showed packets going through chausie. I think that the act of showing the route caused it to work properly.

Anyone know how to get bitcoin to compile?
I'd like to run bitcoin. I have a Linux laptop with a working bitcoin install, but I'd rather not keep my main wallet on my laptop, so I'd like to run bitcoin on my DFly desktop. So I gitted it from git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git and tried to compile. I got two completely different errors, both related to where packages install files. The bitcoind program uses boost, and the makefile couldn't find it. Instead of CMakeLists.txt or a configure script, there's a makefile.unix which is supposed to work for all Unices, but doesn't. The include files are in /usr/pkg/include/boost/, and the makefile doesn't know to look in /usr/pkg/. The GUI program uses Qt (a welcome change from the first version I tried to install, which used a future version of some GUI library that I had to install, and couldn't get right). I had to add /usr/pkg/qt4/bin to the path to get qmake to run, and it failed to find QMainWindow and other include files. I asked on the IRC channel #bitcoin-dev and was denigrated for running an obscure operating system and not knowing how to get things to run on it. I know how to make my own programs run on it, but I don't have any GUI projects. I used to use autotools (in KDevelop) and now use CMake; I don't write makefiles and expect them to run on other systems, except for POV-Ray projects or Forth programs or things like that. Could someone who knows how to port GUI programs talk with the Bitcoin people and figure this out? The short-term solution would be to write a makefile.pkgsrc that works on NetBSD and DragonFly. The best long-term solution, I think, would be to convert the whole build process to CMake. I've compiled Vidalia, which is a CMake and Qt project, on DragonFly with no problem.

dircolors
Do you know where to get the dircolors program? I copied my bashrc from my Linux box and it has this code: # enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases if [ $TERM != dumb ]; then #eval `dircolors -b` alias ls='ls -G' #alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical' #alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long' fi I tried copying the dircolors binary, but it complained about a library version.

crash - should I upload the dump?
I was copying something from a webpage to a document in Kate and the computer froze, then showed me the console saying that X could not be restarted. I killed kdm and logged in again.

can't start a new X session
I tried to start a new X session using switch user in KDE. I got no kdm prompt; X failed to start, and in its log file I found (WW) xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed. I then logged on to a console and tried startx. That worked, but got me a bare X screen with an xterm, which isn't what I wanted. I tried switch user again, which worked, but the computer went up to 71% of swap used and stopped responding. I rebooted and the computer hung while starting my own X session. I rebooted again, my X session finished starting, and I tried switch user again. Again I got VT_ACTIVATE failed. What's wrong?

What was you doing on your computer when this happened? (which programs were running, heavy load etc) I don't remember. If someone had been available to look at the dump when it happened, I probably would have remembered. I had the computer reboot several times without a dump and was trying to track down what turned out to be the linprocfs bug. Is this master or rel3_0 (or something else)? master Has you seens this issue before how often? I've seen it before, but when it happened I didn't know what the issue was. All I knew is that it rebooted and gave me a dump. (Please use bugs (www or bugs@) to report bugs; much easier to track) I don't know what bug to file until someone looks at the dump. All I know is that it reboots and either does or doesn't give me a dump. Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre. Le sel dans la mer est plus que dans le sang.

File corrupted on crash reboot. Can someone help diagnose?
I had an email that I was writing to a few people. The computer rebooted itself. I restarted Kmail and found the message window empty. I cd'ed into the directory where it keeps autosaved copies of email being composed and found that it had been overwritten with zero bytes. Fortunately I could recover the content with undo (I've had this happen on Linux and was out of luck). Can someone receive the undo output and the reboot times and figure out what happened? I don't want to post it publicly, as it's a personal email, but I can send it privately to a developer. Pierre -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
Forcing crash dump doesn't work
My computer rebooted itself again. (I'm pretty sure now it's a bug in hammer, from the time when it does it and the left periodic.cunsolerfu files.) I typed in the disk password, then it finished booting except for X, which failed to start. I removed the stale lockfile, killed kdm, logged into X, and switched back to the console to examine the periodic.* files. Suddenly I got a db prompt. I switched to my other machine and looked up the website for what to do next. I typed panic, and it output a whole bunch of stuff and gave me a prompt again. I typed call dumpsys and it rebooted. But then I found no new dumps in /var/crash. How do I get one? Pierre -- I believe in Yellow when I'm in Sweden and in Black when I'm in Wales.

Paper size
I have a printer connected to chausie, my Linux box, and shared with CUPS. When I print something on chausie, it defaults to A4. When I print something on darner, it defaults to Letter, whether I'm printing from a KDE program or something else like Aurora, and I have to change it to A4.

Because it is the 1 true paper size :D j/k even though from the usa I prefer a4 anyhow ... Seriously- the thing about unix printer setups and configuration tools is that there are so many to choose from - some are going to use PAPERSIZE env var, some will use paperconf, some will have their own (eg. gnome-print), etc. Probably the printer is printing whatever raw data is given to it from the application - so its likely in the program config rather than printer setup config or one particular configuration tool. Don't have any specific tips for these applications - but I'd check the docs for the individual apps 1st. The locale settings in KDE are metric and A4. I did a page setup in Aurora and tried printing. It still came up with Letter. KDE programs on chausie come up with A4. Pierre -- lo ponse be lo mruli po'o cu ga'ezga roda lo ka dinko
repeated reboots
My computer just rebooted three times. First it was running the nightly job, either hammer or pkg-admin (I don't know which since I wasn't running top). Then it rebooted while I was doing nothing in particular. Then it rebooted a third time and X failed to come up. I had to reboot it again to get X to work. None of the reboots resulted in a dump, so I'm stumped. What bug should I file? Also, when Kmail started, Akonadi complained about not being able to register with dbus. I thus have to write this on the Linux box. How do I fix it? Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre. Le sel dans la mer est plus que dans le sang.

I have had kmail die aborning because Akonadi (whatever that is) could not register with dbus, then the next time I booted, it could register with dbus. I did bmake replace on dbus, which appeared to make no difference, and I did rcrun enable dbus, which may have made a difference. I had a cryptic error starting Kmail on my Ubuntu laptop and found out how to fix it with akonadiconsole. I probably have to do something similar on DFly, as my address book is in a directory which Kontact doesn't know about on DFly, rsynced from my Linux box. I can access it in Kontact on DFly, but it doesn't automatically bring up email addresses when I type the name. akonadiconsole is in a separate package on Ubuntu, but is in the akonadi package in DFly.

Is it OK to just build the kernel?
I pulled the latest to fix the setitimer bug and made quickworld. While I was doing that, the kernel panicked (though it may have been caused by some web browsing). I resumed quickworld, but I got an error, so I'm making buildworld. If that fails, is it OK to build and install just the kernel, reboot, and build the world? The current kernel and world I'm running are from a week or two ago, but it looks like the entire C library has to be rebuilt. Pierre -- La sal en el mar es más que en la sangre.
