Gentoo and PTS

[PeterKraus]

Hello,
I have already posted elsewhere,
but is there anyone running PTS on Gentoo flawlessly? I can't upload results, login.. also, the HDD space shows only one partition (9GB /) and not whole drive... Information about running programs are missing as well (using 0.5.0).

Thanks.

[Redeeman]

i use it.. i couldnt login, but i got the submission id from michael, and manually put into the xml file, which allows me to upload as my user.

as for hdd space, it only reports root. I dont use firefox or thunderbird or compiz, so it doesent say any of these, i do use konqueror, which it does not appear to mention in test notes.

0.5.0 and 0.5.1

Maybe we can make this the Gentoo thread instead of starting many.

I have a general question about installing the PTS.

I know it needs PHP, but I'm wondering what USE flags it requires. Is it just the "cli" flag as well as the default ones, like unicode, xml, etc.

Maybe this is why people are having problems...

I'll try it now with the following flags:

berkdb bzip2 cli crypt exif gdbm iconv kerberos ldap ncurses nls pcre readline reflection session spell spl sqlite ssl threads truetype unicode xml zlib

and see if it works.

[ivanovic]

The useflags it does need are:
dev-lang/php cli gd posix
With those use flags set, the scripts should work. Though for me it is not able to find stuff in $PATH (like the etqw-demo) so, uhm, it does not work too well for me...

[Michael]

ivanovic: What problems does it have with etqw-demo? Though I haven't touched that profile in like a month and last time I did I wasn't sure if it was even working at all, because unfortunately id got rid of a timenetdemoquit in that game.

But yeah, it really should just need cli, gd, and posix.

[ivanovic]

I installed the etqw demo (ETQW-demo2-client-full.r1.x86.run) via portage.

Using pts 0.6.0, this happens:
$ ./phoronix-test-suite run etqw-demo

================================================== ==============
Etqw-demo isn't installed on this system.
To install this test, run: phoronix-test-suite install etqw-demo
================================================== ==============

I have installed it systemwide, so it should be usable...
$ which etqw-demo
/usr/games/bin/etqw-demo

But okay, after installing it via ./phoronix-test-suite install etqw-demo, too, this is the result:

$ LC_ALL=C ./phoronix-test-suite run etqw-demo

I'm having a few problems using PTS 0.6.0 on gentoo now that I have it installed.

I try commands like:

% phoronix-test-suite run wine
Which gives the error:
================================================== =========
Wine isn't installed on this system.
To install this test, run: phoronix-test-suite install wine
================================================== =========

% which wine
/usr/bin/wine

% wine --version
wine-0.9.61

I tried a few of the tests that I knew I had the prerequisites installed for like openssl:

% which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

% phoronix-test-suite run openssl

================================================== =========
Openssl isn't installed on this system.
To install this test, run: phoronix-test-suite install openssl
================================================== =========

The compress-gzip test does run once I install it (install only gets the .tar.gz, doesn't install anything).

I think all the tests that I ran also gave this error just after executing it, just before the output starts for the actual test:
/usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: line 410: xset: command not found

I don't want to overload this thread now, but I can continue to provide information if you like.

My php was compiled with these USE flags: bcmath bzip2 cli crypt gd ncurses nls pcre posix ssl threads unicode xml

My system is amd64:
% uname -r
2.6.24-gentoo-r7

[uncle_fungus]

Pretty much all of the tests require that you install them locally through PTS rather than relying on system-wide installed versions.

Yep in large part because different distributions use different arguments / optimizations while compiling, etc. By having a local copy for many of the tests is the only fair way of doing it.

That should be fixed in git now.

I see what you mean. The benchmarks are supposed to be testing hardware.

I have more problems. I went through and installed just about all the test suites.

A quick note when installing the gaming suite is that after you download and install the quake4 binary it can't find the test file on the server.

Then it gives some instructions for repairing it in case it was damaged.
I checked the URL directory and indeed that file was not there. I could not find any other reference to this on this forum so am including it.

Next, I have installed the graphics suite with no problems. When I go to run it I get, well... not much:

I installed the PTS using this ebuild, and renaming it to 0.6.0:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=150956
located at this bugzilla entry:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216656

[Michael]

Regarding the Quake 4 profile, that is currently broken and known not to work. Quake 4 also depends upon the full retail copy, not the free demo of the game.

For Nexuiz it looks like you need libXxf86dga installed.

Hello,
I have already posted elsewhere,
but is there anyone running PTS on Gentoo flawlessly? I can't upload results, login.. also, the HDD space shows only one partition (9GB /) and not whole drive... Information about running programs are missing as well (using 0.5.0).

Thanks.

I'm assuming (from looking at other people's results) that the HDD space just lists whatever partition that is mounted as / .

I've only just now tried to login and upload results, and I cannot login or upload my results either. I'm assuming if you don't login it just gives an anonymous user on the PTS global site, so should still be able to upload.

$ phoronix-test-suite upload ~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-results/compression/test-1.xml

Results Failed To Upload.

If I try to log in with the details I registered with on PTS global it just gives: "PTS Global Account Not Found."

Also, the system-info command gave bugger all info until I installed the mesa-progs package which includes glxinfo. But even with that I don't get the motherboard info etc. From reading the 0.6.0 release notes, the Motherboard field is pulled from lshal. I've checked that I have this installed. I've even run lshal with various greps looking for some mention of my board or chipset, but I don't know what to look for, only this:

# grep lshal pts-functions_system_parsing.php
$info = shell_exec("lshal | grep \"$name\"");
$info = shell_exec("lshal -u $UDI | grep \"$name\"");

But it's a lot of work working back through variables that I don't understand. I can't figure out what pulls in the screen resolution entry as well.
Otherwise, this is my system-info output:

$ phoronix-test-suite system-info

======================================
Phoronix Test Suite v0.6.0 (TRONDHEIM)
System Information
======================================

Hardware:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz (Total Cores: 2), Motherboard: Unknown, Chipset: Unknown, System Memory: 3954MB, Disk Space: 14GB, Graphics: GeForce 7600 GT/PCI/SSE2 (560/700MHz), Screen Resolution: Unknown

Software:
OS: Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1, Kernel: 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 (x86_64), X.Org Server: 1.3.0, OpenGL: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 169.09, Compiler: GCC 4.1.2

[xris]

For Nexuiz it looks like you need libXxf86dga installed.

Yeah, silly of me. I installed libXxf86dga and it works great!

[uncle_fungus]

Chipset:
lspci | grep "Host bridge"Motherboard - a combination of:
lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"Resolution (if not using nvidia extensions):
xrandr | grep '*'

[xris]

Thanks uncle_fungus,

Installing xrandr solves the resolution problem.

I'm just getting the hang of grep'ing the php files to find my answers. But thanks everyone for helping anyway.

It's only the motherboard and chipset that aren't working in system-info now. But if I do the commands manually like uncle_fungus suggested, they work... mostly.

# lspci | grep "Host bridge"
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation DRAM Controller (rev 02)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
system.hardware.vendor = 'Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.' (string)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
system.hardware.product = 'P35-DS3P' (string)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"
system.hardware.version = '' (string)

So that's giving "Motherboard: Unknown, Chipset: Unknown" in system-info.

I don't know enough PHP to understand why.

Thanks.

I have same login issue on version 0.6 HD space looks normal on system info though:(

[uncle_fungus]

I'm pretty sure that the chipset registering as "unknown" is because lspci doesn't actually contain the whole string (i.e. there isn't an actual chipset being given).

My lspci output gives:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM Controller (rev 02)
Which pts converts to:
Intel 82G33/G31/P35/P31


You can check what pts is getting out of lspci with the command below. You need to run this from your pts folder, say yes when it prompts (it'll clean up after itself).
php -r 'include("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions_system_parsing.php");include_once("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php");echo read_pci("Host bridge:") . "\n";' && rm -f {graph,user}-config.xml

[xris]

I tried what you suggested uncle_fungus. It gave this:

$ php -r 'include("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions_system_parsing.php");include_once("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php");echo read_pci("Host bridge:") . "\n";' && rm -f {graph,user}-config.xml

So, it gave me Unknown, just like system-info.
On a whim (possibly dumb I know), I tried it again as root, and got this:

Intel DRAM Controller

So, at the end it does give something after all the error messages.
Which made me realise that the lspci and lshal commands you'd given me before hadn't worked as my user. Ever since I've had Gentoo installed I've just always had to run most basic system commands like that as root, although I've never really bothered to think why (coming from Ubuntu where I could, without sudo).

However:
# which lspci
/usr/sbin/lspci

Anyway, long story short. I updated my /etc/profile and added a few sbin paths, and now those commands work as a user. I now get Intel DRAM Controller for chipset, but still no luck on motherboard.
I love this tinkering stuff!

[uncle_fungus]

I'll look a little deeper into the motherboard detection. I've just tried this on my laptop an I get Unknown too, even though:

[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
system.hardware.vendor = 'FUJITSU SIEMENS' (string)
[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
system.hardware.product = 'AMILO Li 1718' (string)
[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"
system.hardware.version = '-1' (string)

[ivanovic]

Okay, I updated the ebuild in the "request for ebuild" (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216656) post in the gentoo bug tracker. Now there is a recent ebuild for 0.9.0 and git head. Maybe someone can use them.

Some TODOs are still open in the recipes, maybe one of you knows how to fix them.
