I don't suppose you know why Evolution doesn't detect your PGP message signing do you? For some people, it detects it and displays it nicely, but for your emails it doesn't. Oh well, it's offtopic anyway :) rock on -mike On Thu, 2003-07-03 at 22:15, Raphaël Junqueira wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Le Jeudi 03 Juillet 2003 23:14, Raphaël Junqueira a écrit : > > Hi, > > > > Changelog: > > - some estetic fixes > > - fix a bug on IDirect3DVolume8Impl_AddDirtyBox > > > > Regards, > > Raphael > > Better way to attach patches now (stupid me) > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE/BJzvp7NA3AmQTU4RAm+oAJ9XqR7fJ2i6EWPTX8X9TkSIaKcO+ACfake5 > oKJTuG7Aqm2e88C9pUBRRAM= > =Ff0J > -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: Build Error on last CVS
by Juraj Hercek July 3, 2003

July 3, 2003

Hi Raphael, I got the same error when tried to build wine with -O0 flag turn on (i.e. disable optimization for easier debuging). I think it's the problem of compiler/linker, not a problem of wine - I'm using gcc version 3.3. I solved this problem this way: ./configure CFLAGS="-g3 -O1" and then built from sources in usual way. Hovever if you would have used default (i.e. ./configure without any additional argumets) build should have been without any link errors. Hope this helps. Regards, Juraj

Starsiege Tribes Mouse Broken
by Kristoffer Ericson July 3, 2003

July 3, 2003

Greetings, Just updated with cvs update (3th july) and when trying to run Tribes i find that i can no longer use my mouse. It seems that the "game-mouse" never gets activated and i'm stuck with the windowmanagers mouse pointer. And i'm not able to click on any menu items, so i'm pretty stuck. Anyone know of any added mouse patch that might cause this problem? I have no doubt that Tribes otherwise works fine, but having no mouse makes it kind of hard to play..=) Best wishes _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

File descriptor limit
by Mike Hearn July 3, 2003

July 3, 2003

Hi, I have a problem, in that I'm trying to run an app which opens truly astonishing numbers of threads, sockets and because we're on Linux -> file descriptors. For instance, on a basic run in the default configuration, it runs approximately 180 threads. A quick script that did an ls -1 in the /proc/$pid/fd directory of each running wine process (for some reason I get loads) shows that it opens a truly amazing 18,000 odd file descriptors. In fact, in some circumstances it opens so many, that I get errors like this: wine client error:9a: pipe: Too many open files .. and it dies. The problem is, that I don't know what limit is being used for this. In theory, the OPEN_MAX macro should tell me, but for some reason this is defined on my box as 256 (red hat 8), even though sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) says "1024". So, a few questions, for those in the know (probably wineserver guys): 1) Does Wine try to monitor the number of open file descriptors and do anything about hitting the limit? 2) Does Wine deliberately split into lots of processes when certain limits are reached? (this doesn't seem to happen for other apps, except apache but I know it spawns children deliberately for load balancing reasons). 3) Why do I have so many? This is an app which makes heavy use of networking (it uses jxta which is a java p2p thingy), so far I've considered: * Thread server pipes (2 fds for each pipe) * Thread wait pipes (2 fds each) * Sockets * Open files (does java have a separate fd for each class even when in jars?) 4) Does Wine have any known scalability problems with lots of threads/sockets/files open at once? I noticed the wineserver eats a lot of CPU time. 4) Is there anything I can do about this? *Any* advice here would be most appreciated. Even given the ridiculous thread usage 18k file descriptors sounds way out of line, it feels like something is a bit broken here. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center
