Running "United Devices Agent"

It is about time that grid.org project used open source code for their "United Devices" agent. The performance would be much greater if more people saw the source code, and helped optimise it. My $0.02 worth. James

bug when displaying images ?
by fabrice martin May 11, 2004

May 11, 2004

Hello, I am using a personal application under wine with great success. However a problem subsists: at one point, the program reads RGB images from the disk, and should display them. Unfortunately, they appear completely black ! I ran wine with WINEDEBUG=+bitmap, and I think the problem is in the following log: trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_CreateDIBSection format (256,128), planes 1, bpp 24, size 0, colors 0 (RGB) trace:bitmap:CreateBitmap 256x128, 16777216 colors returning 0xb24 trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_DoProtectDIBSection Changed protection from 4 to 4 trace:bitmap:SetBitmapBits (0xb24, 98304, 0x4237b570) 256x128 16777216 colors fetched height: 128 trace:bitmap:SetBitmapBits Calling device specific BitmapBits trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_Lock Locking 0x40273338 from thread 0009 trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_CopyDIBSection (0x40270e58,0x402708e0,26,0,0,98,230,128) trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_DoCopyDIBSection Copying from DIB bits to Pixmap trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits Dib: depth=24 r=ff0000 g=ff00 b=ff trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits Bmp: depth=24/32 r=ff0000 g=ff00 b=ff trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits XPutImage(35651586,0x10152f18,0x10175df0,26,0,2,158,230,128) trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_Unlock Unlocking in status AppMod trace:bitmap:X11DRV_DIB_Unlock Unlocked 0x40273338 As you can see, images are 256x128, 24bpp. I guess the problem comes from the conversion to pixmap ? Or from XputImage ? I have tried setting X in 8, 16, 24 bpp modes but images remain black... By the way, I am using Wine 20031212, with a GeForce4 Mx, and Redhat 8.0.

err:file:GetOverlappedResult lpOverlapped->hEvent was null
by Scott W Gifford May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

When running an application under Wine that uses the serial port, I get messages like this over and over: err:file:GetOverlappedResult lpOverlapped->hEvent was null However, the API documentation implies that this is perfectly fine: OVERLAPPED ... hEvent Handle to an event set to the signaled state when the operation has been completed. The calling process must set this member either to zero or a valid event handle before calling any overlapped functions. To create an event object, use the CreateEvent function. Despite this error message, the application appears to work normally. Is there some reason for this error, or can I safely remove the message? ----ScottG.

Why different use of memory
by Bill Medland May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

Continuing the saga!! I have this program that I am trying to run under RedHat Enterprise Linux 3. I have installed the 20031118 rh8 rpm. (Big saga as to why that one) When I first run the program after a reboot (of the linux) the program fails When I run it again it works, and it continues to work until the next reboot. The BIG difference between the two runs is which memory it uses. Can anyone tell me why it is using such different areas of memory? When it fails it is basically using memory up at approx 0xb6000000 When it is working it is using memory down at 0x40000000 -kernel32.__wine_register_dll_16(40b35374) ret=40a8cc12 +kernel32.__wine_register_dll_16(b6b8f3c4) ret=b6ae6c12 -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

Curious Deployment Ponderings
by Jerry Haltom May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

This could be possible right now, I've just got it floating around in my head and wanted to write it down someplace permanent so I don't forget. Right now there isn't really any concrete methodology for installing Wine is there? By this I mean something similar to how Perl, Python, Java, Mono, and all other runtime environments on Unix behave (Wine is a runtime environment eh!). A standard common directory (/usr/lib/win32) for Win32 .DLLs. Smarter directory diversion: "pretending C:\Program Files" is /usr/lib/win32-software or something". All of this is just floating around in my head, given some things i've noticed that I myself tend to do when I use wine... I keep my own C: drive in ~. There is no sharing of .DLL resources between users, and no potential for it. There is also no ideal way for a vendor to package Windows applications up into a proper RPM or DEB file, which installs the .dlls in the right place, and the program in another, and depends on the right infrastructure. It's pretty disorganized right now. Has anybody given relaying out Wine as I described any thought. I know Windows programs aren't the friendlyest for such a thing... Some save settings in Program Files, so putting it in /usr would be bad... But then again, lots of new Windows programs do behave good, putting settings in C:\Documents and Settings, and the HKCU key of the registry. Food for thought anyways.

Running "United Devices Agent" (was: Re: Unhandled API Call to Kernel32 Question)

Unless you're willing to pay for its development, don't hold your breath; I have a feeling CreateRemoteThread might be a tricky one to implement. Can you give a URL to the application in question? Is it the one at http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm ? I just tried installing that for fun. Here's what I learned: 1. It requires MSI. I was able to download and run InstMsiA.exe from microsoft.com no problem. 2. It refuses to install on "Windows 95", so I had to edit ~/.wine/config and set Version to winnt. (Couldn't figure out how to do it selectively, had to do it for all apps.) 3. When the installer finished, it put up the "UD Agent Registration" dialog. Clicking on "Login" failed, and Wine displayed the warning fixme:ole:VarOr unimplemented part, V_VT(left) == 0x1, V_VT(right) == 0xB I'm running wine-20040213, so perhaps this has since been fixed ... or maybe not. Andreas Mohr implemented part of VarOr about 16 months ago (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0625.html) and has been waiting for feedback ever since. Maybe you're already past that problem, I don't know. But it'd be nice if somebody updated VarOr to handle this case. That's probably easier than the CreateRemoteThread issue, btw. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

[PATCH] Updates the wine alsa driver to the new alsa api. No functionallity changes.

May 8, 2004

Is there any chance of getting my patch into cvs. I could then start making further improvements to the winealsa driver. Currently, the winealsa driver does a lot of stuff it should not, and I will changing things to make it more reliable with a wider variety of sound cards. If my patch is not going into CVS, I will not proceed with improvements over that. Cheers James P.S. Patch was posted with same subject line to the wine-patches list a few days ago.

supported apps page, crash reporting, and phoning home on success
by Dan Kegel May 8, 2004

May 8, 2004

I was looking for a newbie project recommendation (for someone else, not me!), and figured "pick a popular windows app, and firm up wine support for it" would be a good one. Not knowing what apps are popular, I paid a visit to the winehq supported apps page. I noticed the page didn't have links to the apps' homepages, so I posted a patch to fix that. We're probably missing some apps that people use and like. I don't know where to get good data on this, though (I'm no Windows user!) Maybe we need to add a 'phone home' sort of option to Wine so that it gives people the option of uploading crash and/or success data for each app the user runs to winehq? It could upload once a day, no need to upload any more often, probably. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change
