Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 Released

Phoronix Media has today released Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 (codenamed "Selbu"), which is a sizable update to its very popular testing software. Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 introduces a graphical user-interface making it easier for end-users to test out their computer systems, adds support for reference system comparisons, is compatible with more *BSD operating systems, and adds a number of new test profiles and suites. The Phoronix Test Suite is designed to run benchmarks/tests atop Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, and OpenSolaris systems in a clean, reproducible, and easy-to-use way.

Nice to see a GUI for PTS.

[joffe]

The GUI doesn't work in OpenSolaris, either I am retarded or there's something missing which I do not know how to add;

username@opensolaris:~# phoronix-test-suite gui
PHP Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23

joffe: Do you have PHP-GTK installed? Is it available in OpenSolaris? I didn't even think it was packaged for OpenSolaris.

[Ubuntu User]

Hello

Do you have a list of new tests?

I've looked at the history and it appears these are new since 1.6:

povray
c-ray
bwfirt

Is that right? Are there any more?

Thanks

[Michael]

c-ray, pov-ray, and bwfirt are new. The vdrift test profile is also new, since it works now, and in previous releases it was marked as broken.

[joffe]

joffe: Do you have PHP-GTK installed? Is it available in OpenSolaris? I didn't even think it was packaged for OpenSolaris.

Well, I suppose not. I saw that, and what I did was that I grabbed everything in the repository with 'gtk' or 'php' in it in the hopes that it had been labelled by a silly person to something else. I guess not.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to figure out the CLI then. If anyone tries to tell me how to compile php gtk for opensolaris I might just self-immolate.

[Vadi]

I found compiling php-gtk to be quite... hard. Still haven't accomplished it :( (hence no Glade yet. Sorry michael :()

It does look like your php-gtk is old or broken.

[WSmart]

I get the same error in Ubuntu, 8.10, pre-release updates installed:

desktop:~$ phoronix-test-suite gui



Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23


I don't see a PHP-GTK, searching Synaptic. I do have all the recommended requirements installed, as listed with Synaptic.

Be real, be sober.

[WSmart]

Oh, that's right. Forget it. That has to be downloaded and compiled, for now. Thanks.

I don't think Ubuntu has the package available.

[WSmart]

Yeah. I looked at this before. I get a lot of errors when I try to ./buildconf the PHP-GTK. Apparently there's something with libtools or whatever being split up. I found a post. It's not for PHP-GTK, but it looks like the same issue.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/262251

“It seems that libtool.m4 from the old libtool version was split into several files: libtool.m4 lt~obsolete.m4 ltoptions.m4 ltsugar.m4 ltversion.m4
I think it also works if you temporarily cat lt~obsolete.m4 ltoptions.m4 ltsugar.m4 ltversion.m4 into libtool.m4”

Thanks.

[Michael]

A 64-bit PHP5-GTK package for Ubuntu/Debian can be found @ http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/misc/php5-gtk2_2.0.1-0_amd64.deb

[GreatWalrus]

Hmm, php-gtk worked for me with 1.80b1, but now it is giving me the same "php-gtk module must be loaded" error. I will look into it some more and see if there's something I need to change for 1.80

[Melcar]

I installed the php package but I keep getting the "must be loaded" bit as well:

The PHP GTK module must be loaded for the GUI.
This module can be found @ http://gtk.php.net/

[Michael]

Oops, forgot to make one minor note:

In the /etc/php5/cli/conf.d folder (or something similar) create a gtk2.ini file and just do:

extension=php_gtk2.so

or just append that line to your php.ini file.

[GreatWalrus]

Ok, I figured out what was wrong for me.

In /etc/php/php.ini, the php_gtk2 module was not loaded. I thought I loaded before - maybe I was dreaming or uninstalling PTS 1.8b1 removed it.

Anyways, to fix this I located the extensions part of /etc/php/php.ini (also sometimes /etc/php5/php.ini, the important thing is to find php.ini in /etc/) and added the php_gtk2 module.


; available extensions
;
;
;
;
;extension=pdo_sqlite.so
;extension=pgsql.so
extension=php_gtk2.so
extension=posix.so
;extension=pspell.so
extension=session.so
;extension=shmop.so
;extension=snmp.so
;
;
Note: There are more extensions, I just copied a small section of the list since it is fairly long.

Edit: Looks like Michael beat me to it. Anyways, I forgot to add that no restart is needed. Just append the file, save, and execute phoronix-test-suite gui.

[Melcar]

Works now. Looks really nice.

[WSmart]

There's a patch for the PHP-GTK, and also the edit Mike mentions above. Check out this post on the Ubuntu forum.

"Just spent a good chunk of my friday night (good thing I'm sick and have nothing better to do) installing the newest version of the Phoronix Test Suite." Go go, go Budluva04 go!

Thanks all.

It seems to have got some problems with Debian 4.0 - especially with the res detection, that worked with older releases.

I'm not sure mine is still working properly either. I'm using 1.8.0. I can't seem to download packages, complains about md5 being incorrect.

I give up. php-gtk isn't available from my distribution and the source for it won't build.

Has anyone successfully got it working on OpenSuse 11?

Jimmy it is available for suse (and yes it runs in suse fine). You need to add the PHP Extensions repository from the build service. (Add one of the following URL's into Yasts Repository.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/openSUSE_11.0/ <---- for 11.0

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/openSUSE_11.1/ <---- for 11.1

The package that you are looking for is called php5-gtk.........rpm

[Jimmy]

Jimmy it is available for suse

Mumble grumble grumble... I already looked there... or so I thought. Meh... wasn't the only thing I missed yesterday. Thanks deanjo.

I get the same error in Ubuntu, 8.10, pre-release updates installed:

desktop:~$ phoronix-test-suite gui

Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23

I don't see a PHP-GTK, searching Synaptic. I do have all the recommended requirements installed, as listed with Synaptic.


I also have this issue on Source Mage GNU/Linux with PHP-GTK 2.0.1. I know PHP-GTK has GtkWindow support:
$ nm $(php-config --extension-dir)/php_gtk2.so |grep GtkWindow|wc -l
125

I even tried with php_gtk2.so (the only file php-gtk installs) in /usr/lib, with no success.

This gets me further:
Oops, forgot to make one minor note:

In the /etc/php5/cli/conf.d folder (or something similar) create a gtk2.ini file and just do:

extension=php_gtk2.so

or just append that line to your php.ini file.

but now I get:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './php_gtk2.so' - ./php_gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23


So PHP doesn't seem sure it's extension are where `php-config --extension-dir` says it is? Apparently not, by modifying my /etc/php.ini to have extension_dir set to the value returned by $(php-config --extension-dir) then `phoronix-test-suite gui` now loads. :)

Looking at my /etc/php.ini (default install from PHP with the Phoronix upload requirements changed) I see:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"


but this then breaks PHP (e.g. trying to recompile php-gtk gives this):

checking for gawk... gawk
checking for PHP-GTK support... yes, shared
checking for PHP executable in /usr/bin... found version 5.2.9
configure: error: PHP CLI version is required, found
! Problem Detected !


If I set my extension_dir back to "./" my PHP apps can now find PHP CLI when compiling, but `phoronix-test-suite gui` can no longer find './php_gtk2.so'.

Got this for PTS 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop updated until today. Anyone with the same issue?

I installed it clicking

and following the wizard. All the process went fine apparently.

Thank you.
