01:33 < morfoh> but have to checl
01:33 < morfoh> check
01:34 < jsaw> what is it?
01:34 < morfoh> I think it's a permission problem
01:34 < morfoh> of postfix-install
01:37 < jsaw> ok, but segfault...???
01:37 < morfoh> btw, where is our "update-vandal" ?
01:38 < morfoh> jsaw: yes ... it doesn't fit
01:38 < morfoh> and it's still segfaulting

11:46 < rxr> jsaw: hyi
11:47 < rxr> jsaw: I have a gcc-4.1 diff here ,-) do you want it ?
11:48 < jsaw> rxr: yes, see query
11:48 < jsaw> hi, btw :)
11:48 < rxr> or the t2 list ,-)
11:49 < jsaw> rxr: please CC to that query address
11:49 < rxr> ouhm ?
11:50 < jsaw> rxr: I was fighting with instabilities of my new system (since two month) and had no time to setup my smtp/imap/http/svn etc. stuff
11:50 < jsaw> yet
11:50 < rxr> instability ?
11:50 < jsaw> X server hangs mostly
11:50 < rxr> uohm
11:51 < rxr> what gfx chip ?
11:51 < jsaw> sis 760GX
11:51 < rxr> hm
11:51 < jsaw> memory is overwritten at the wrong places...
11:52 < rxr> the sis driver got some ugly code - e.g. custom memcpy ...
11:52 < rxr> it should never have made it in the try
11:52 < rxr> but t. winisshoeffer --typos is quite active - maybe just drop him a mail
11:52 < rxr> and/or x.org list
11:53 < jsaw> ic
11:53 < rxr> sending
11:53 < rxr> the libtool-junk removal bits are quitebig
11:54 < jsaw> ?
11:54 < jsaw> oh, gcc,...
11:58 < rxr> that is the RC2
12:05 < rxr> http://www.golem.de/0603/43716.html
12:08 < jsaw> :)
12:14 * rxr finding myself tweaking libusb ...
12:19 < jsaw> rxr: you were right, the memcpy stuff is the problem...
12:20 -!- karasz [n=root@80.97.102.202] has joined #T2
12:20 < jsaw> I copied the builtin_memcpy into a test program..., everything is alright if copied number & 7 != 0...
12:23 -!- karasz [n=root@80.97.102.202] has quit [Client Quit]
12:24 < jsaw> hmmm
12:32 < rxr> where does it crash - in those memcpy ?
12:32 < jsaw> hmmm. actually no. I have to take deeper look (seems I don't get the code exactly)
12:33 < jsaw> still, there are issues with it
12:33 < jsaw> like having "int" as third argument
12:33 < jsaw> should be unsigned long (or size_t)
12:35 < rxr> 1.7Gccache-x86-64
12:35 < rxr> 155Mccache-x86-64-1
12:35 < rxr> 103Mccache-x86-64-2
12:35 < rxr> 26Mccache-x86-64-x86-64-0
12:36 < jsaw> have to do sth. else, cu later
12:44 < rxr> yeah - me too - improve libusb :-((
12:44 < rxr> and in theory usb handling on Darwin / OS X as well
12:45 < rxr> some more USB days and I fear parts of my stomarch turn over

14:17 < mnemoc> thanks morfoh :)
14:17 < rxr> hi mnemoc
14:18 < mnemoc> oin rxr
14:18 < mnemoc> moin
14:21 < morfoh> mnemoc: I think we shouldn't update to gcc-3.4.5 on 2.1
14:22 < mnemoc> reasons?
14:23 < mnemoc> (ROCK has 3.4.5 on their trunk)
14:24 < morfoh> I think the changes are not worth to update it ...
14:24 < rxr> ? the gcc people have released a regression fixes release for good reasons ...
14:25 < morfoh> ok ... /me is shutting up then ... you're the gcc masters.
14:26 < morfoh> mnemoc: then read your away log ;)
14:27 < mnemoc> was offline, no away log
14:28 < rxr> http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html#3.4.5
14:28 < morfoh> mnemoc: then I will merge 2 little changes to fix audacity and gsmlib
14:29 < morfoh> but I wasn't able to find the reason of postfix segfaults while running postfix-install
14:30 < mnemoc> uhm

14:42 < rxr> ^- libusb
14:43 < mnemoc> reindentation?
14:44 < rxr> no - rewriting the damned usb_urb_transfer function
14:44 < mnemoc> oh
14:45 < rxr> in the hope to get more speed out of the kernel
14:45 < rxr> just proof of concept
14:45 < rxr> the windows driver gets 2x out of the recent scanners ... .-(
14:45 < rxr> and os x is even slower
14:45 < mnemoc> oh
14:45 < rxr> if I'm unlucky I'll have to add an additional interface of _async function to libusb and sanei_usb ..
14:46 < rxr> apple even responded to my mail on the usb list within minutes - at least that was impressive ...
14:47 < mnemoc> :)
14:48 < rxr> though if their answer is the only way to speed this up I'll have the above mentioned work to schedule
14:48 < rxr> add an _asnc set of read/write functions to libusb and sanei_usb ...
14:48 < rxr> just to saturate the USB URB queu of their damn slow usb subsystem ...
14:48 < rxr> guess the effect of the lagging mach architecture on the base ..
14:49 < mnemoc> uhm
14:49 < rxr> but that is just a guess ...
14:51 < rxr> but I prototype if this could in theory speed it up under linux - because T2 is the way more relaxing OS to work on - and I can browse what the kernel is doing with my requests ....
14:52 < rxr> last night i even started to edit the Linux USB code ... .-((
14:52 < mnemoc> i hope it works
14:52 < rxr> nope - I discarded that idea due to the sheer mods needed for that case
14:53 < rxr> I decided it is more universal to improve the user-space side - works on old kernels as well and the kernel folks convinced me it would result in the same speed ...
14:53 < rxr> and user-space editing is somewhat more relaxing ,-)))
14:55 < mnemoc> _Ragnar_: are you using vserver-2.0.2-rc*?
15:02 < rxr> puh
15:03 < rxr> at least the easy transfers still work with my "parallel queue N USB URBs" libusb flavour
15:03 < rxr> submitting urb 0
15:03 < rxr> waitinf for URB 0
15:03 < rxr> marking URB 0x54a3b0 done.
15:03 < rxr> which was the one we have been waiting for.

15:22 < rxr> heh - the image data even looks correct
15:22 < rxr> submitting urb 7
15:22 < rxr> submitting urb 8
15:22 < rxr> submitting urb 9
15:22 < rxr> waiting for URB 0

15:22 < rxr> waiting for URB 1
15:22 < rxr> marking URB 0x57df38 done.
15:22 < rxr> which was the one we have been waiting for.
15:25 < rxr> hm - maybe slightly faster
15:25 < rxr> if my logs are correct, 0:38.10 vs. 0:23.04
15:27 < rxr> for 56MB of data
15:42 < LMJ> moin moin
15:44 < rxr> yep - scanning 10 A4 pages with color @ 300dpi is 0:47.5s vs. 0:27.4s

16:16 < rxr> now the windows driver is some seconds slower again ,-)

17:03 < owl> re
17:04 < mnemoc> wb owlita
17:05 < owl> thx mnemoc
17:06 < rxr> mnemoc: rewritten so submit sizeof (urb) / MAX_READ_WRITE urbs in parallel
17:06 < rxr> that are 9 in parallel enqueed into the kernel in my use-case
17:12 < mnemoc> :)
17:12 < mnemoc> let see what LKML say about :)
17:26 < rxr> I aksed how many I can enque - e.g. if 64 is valid and they says yes ...
17:26 < rxr> also this parallel thing is what they said I should do instead increasing this 16kB buffer ...
17:27 < rxr> so all is fine - despite the OS X side is even dog slower now - compared to what is possible ...

21:42 < morfoh> hehe ... cool! :) so you left your granny alone ?
21:43 < Baldzius> i had no choise :)
21:44 < morfoh> Baldzius: why ? hope nothing bad happened!
21:45 < morfoh> btw, before you'll starting to vandalize ... libtasn1 0.3.0 gives some problems with gnutls
21:45 < morfoh> but I'm checking it atm ...
21:45 < morfoh> ;)
21:46 < Baldzius> :)
21:47 < Baldzius> no , nothing happened
21:47 < Baldzius> 1. my passport got expired
21:47 < Baldzius> 2. i missed my parents :)
21:48 < Baldzius> last time i saw my dad it was 2y ago
21:48 < Baldzius> hm, no , 1y
21:49 < Baldzius> well, doesn't matter :)
21:49 < morfoh> oh! anyway ... 1 or 2 --- that's a long time
21:49 < Baldzius> yeah, quite ...
21:52 < morfoh> oh! oh! guess I've found the problem with gnutls ... damn package maintainer :p
21:53 < Baldzius> i hope itsn't me :)
21:53 < morfoh> nope me :p
21:56 < morfoh> gnutls includes most needed libs like libtasn1, opencdk, ... and after some symbol changes in libtasn1 0.3.0 it has some problems ... adding a proper .conf file to see if that will fix the problem
22:10 < morfoh> ok ... seems that I'm not "guilty" regarding the gnutls problems :)
22:35 < CIA-18> chris * r15648 /trunk/package/security/libprelude/libprelude.desc: * updated libprelude (0.9.5 -> 0.9.6)
22:50 < CIA-18> jsaw * r15649 /trunk/package/security/openssh/openssh.conf: * hardcoded X11R6 path in our own .conf file O.O
22:53 < _Ragnar_> naughty
22:54 < _Ragnar_> but why does openssh need X11 path?
22:58 < jsaw> _Ragnar_: xauth (X11 forwarding + auth)
22:59 < _Ragnar_> hmmm
22:59 < _Ragnar_> ok I see
