numerious install and execution problems

[toddbailey]

OK, so I did a install-all and many tests could not be installed

either bad checksums, or non existent file/files.

When running universe or universe-x the system or pts will eventually hang, additionally several tests will fail to run.

I attribute the failures to incompatible hardware.

So the issue is a fix or method need to be incorporated so that tests that can't run for what ever reason won't be, this way test that can be executed can and will be and results can be collected.

Is there any methods I can utilize to avoid system hangs or pts core failures?

thanks

Hi Todd,

Are you able to comment more on these problems you are experiencing with PTS eventually hanging? If a test fails to run, PTS should automatically continue on running with the next test, but not hang. I haven't ever encountered such. If you can comment more on the problem I can tell you how to address it or if there is a bug in pts-core to get that resolved.

OK I'll respond in 4 separate posts 2 for install and 2 for execution, across 2 different machines


first machine is a dell d800 laptop w 1.6 g cpu, 2 gig mem, nv 4200 64 meg video


install summary:

The following tests failed to install:

- build-php
- encode-ape
- espeak
- gnupg
- memory-bandwidth
- n-queens
- nero2d
- qgears2

I have archives of the full install output that I'd like to submit,
and later on the output of the test runs, but I don't see a way to attach a file to a posting,
plz advise

Hi Todd,

Below are notes after looking at your logs:

QGears2 - You seem to be missing some Qt4 libraries/header files. On Ubuntu and most distributions they should be automatically installed if you are prompted for the root password during the install process. With Fedora I think it should be fetching most of them, but if you can find what Qt4 package is missing, please let me know.

Warsow - The missing libcurl.so.3 may or may not be fixable depending upon your distribution. Some of the newer distributions are not shipping with libcurl.so.3, but the .4 version instead. Mostly just waiting on a new upstream Warsow release to address it.

Planet Penguin Racer - Need to look into it, may be an upstream issue.

GLMark - seg fault is an upstream issue with it.

build-php - The PHP mirrors sadly lost the 5.2.9 copy, but new URLs should be found in Git.

GnuPG - The test profile is sort of broken right now, waiting on patches from the person that broke the profile.

[toddbailey]

here is a fix for the libcurl isssue

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libcurl.so.4 libcurl.so.3
# ldconfig

the warsow test now runs

Did you examine the execution log file yet?

the machine d800 has several failure points before completely hanging forcing a power off to reset
