More Windows VM Crashing -_-
by Peter Uhnak March 23, 2017

March 23, 2017

Hi, Originally I thought my VM is crashing because of FT, so I applied some fix from FogBugz (that is now part of Pharo 6), but that didn't help. So I disabled FT in settings and changed fonts to non-FT ones; didn't help. So I completely removed FT2Plugin.dll (now settings just states that FT fonts are not available), but that didn't help either. And obviously there is no crash.dmp whatsoever (this is latest Windows VM). This crash is extremely frustrating because the crash happens _during saving_, which means I am losing code all the time and have to constantly recover them, which really makes my blood boil. Without crash dump I don't even know where and how to start investigating. Windows kindly opens Visual Studio when Pharo crashes, but all it shows to me is assembly, which is not very useful to me. I can somewhat orient myself in the C code of the VM (as I've alredy fixed some other issues in the VM), but here I am lost. <SNIP> 00407D7F ret 00407D80 mov eax,dword ptr ds:[00596E44h] 00407D85 test al,3 00407D87 jne 00407DB2 00407D89 mov ecx,dword ptr ds:[596E08h] 00407D8F lea edx,[ecx-1] 00407D92 cmp eax,edx 00407D94 jb 00407DB2 00407D96 cmp dword ptr ds:[596E10h],eax 00407D9C jb 00407DB2 00407D9E mov ecx,dword ptr ds:[5B89D0h] 00407DA4 cmp dword ptr [eax-4],ecx 00407DA7 jb 00407DB2 00407DA9 mov eax,dword ptr ds:[00596E28h] ---> 00407DAE movzx eax,byte ptr [eax] 00407DB1 ret eax = 00000000 ecx = 04700000 </SNIP> So my question I guess is: How can we fix this? How can I help fix this? Because I've lost countless days of time and energy on this f***ing problem... Peter

[ANN] PharoNOS

Hi, I successfully ported SqueakNOS to Pharo, and want to share it with you! It works with Pharo 4.0 image, networking included, ping works! What is different: - I use my own CMake build file, with "out-of-tree" build support, instead of "build.xyz" directories inside source tree + some template scripts to build any VM type, but it is not complete... - I use MUSL <http://www.musl-libc.org/> instead of GlibC, cross-compiling GlibC statically on 64bit for 32bit seems impossible, but anyway I use 32bit environment to build it - It works with pre-opensmalltalk-vm migration directory structure, so the "sync" with latest trunk remains #TODO, or maybe start a new branch again from the latest upstream commit should work too - freetype is included, but will not load any fonts, since the filesystem driver is image-side... so you will need to make new fonts embedded, if you want them - known issues: image snapshot and fileout are not working, current date+time hacked to make fat32 timestamps work - revision needed: timer (heartbeat) vs. GC vs. interrupts enable/disable - there are even some hacks to image-side methods PharoNOS platform directory sources: [pharonos branch] SRC: https://gitlab.com/johnnyzz/pharonos VM sources: [dev branch] SRC: https://gitlab.com/johnnyzz/pharo-vm - added platform directory, build scripts and CMake templates - added VMMaker configs Build Environment (32bit) - Docker image repository, with CI: https://gitlab.com/johnnyzz/dev-build PharoNOS CI (uses previous Docker image): CI: https://gitlab.com/johnnyzz/pharo-nos-build How to run it: You can download fresh disk image from CI and then run: (sudo) kvm -hda build/NOS.img -enable-kvm -cpu kvm32 -vga qxl -m 256 -netdev tap,id=user.3,ifname=tap2,vhost=on -net nic,model=rtl8139,netdev=user.3 -global isa-fdc.driveA= -serial stdio One more thing: Statically linked Pharo Spur32 (headless) VM, with only one dependency - Linux kernel: CI: https://gitlab.com/johnnyzz/pharo-build-static Size: 2,4MB (too big?, but Freetype included too!) enjoy Jan ----- Save The World! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-PharoNOS-tp4939247.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Pharo 6 vm crashed when pasting a big file
by tdupriez＠ens-paris-saclay.fr March 22, 2017

March 22, 2017

Hi, The pharo 6 vm crashed when I pasted a long text file in the body of a method. Surprisingly, the vm did not crashed when I pasted a file of approximately the same size but only containing a single string ('adafcawa' copy-pasted on 8000 lines). The crash occured after I: - Opened a fresh image (60450) - Created a package, with a single class, with a single method - Tried to paste the content of the attached file into the methods body (the vm froze for 20-30 seconds then crashed) Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bits vm obtained from http://get.pharo.org/ (the '60+vm' package) image 60450 Thomas

Collecting of event data still needed?
by Pavel Krivanek March 22, 2017

March 22, 2017

>From a Slack discussion: Alexandre Bergel [6:03 PM] @uko : Do we still need the usage data ? Alexandre Bergel [6:03 PM] Having this large red bar is a bit aggressive Yuriy Tymchuk [6:06 PM] Data is always useful. Now as I end my Ph.D. I will not have time to investigate the collected data any more, so the question is does anybody else care about the collected data, because yes, I can just remove it. By the way, I just reuse the morph from Spotter, so it is up to them to define the style :slightly_smiling_face: - So the question is: do we still need to display appeal for sending usage data in Pharo 7? Is anyone analyzing it or do we only irritate users? Such request can be in the Welcome window. Cheers, -- Pavel
