Re: appdb: database issues

by Chris Morgan

In include/query.php in query_appdb() we only call mysql_connect() if the global $hAppdbLink isn't a valid resource. So, when a user connects to display a page the first query should open the connection and upon completion of the script $hAppdbLink will be freed and the connection should be closed. So I'm not sure that this is the cause of the out-of-connections issue although I don't see a reason why we shouldn't just let php take care of this internally and apply a variation of your change where we always attempt to connect and select the appropriate database and remove the global handle and the resource check etc. Chris On Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM, Jeff Zaroyko <jeffzaroyko(a)gmail.com> wrote: > The mysql database for the appdb/bugzilla appears to have gone down again, > I decided to look at the connection code in the appdb, as the appdb is thought > to be the culprit. > > I came across the call to mysql_connect which is using the new_link parameter > set to true, which is supposedly to force a new connection to be established. > > So, I searched through the git commit history using gitk and saw that Paul van > Schayck made a change introducing this, apparently because mysql was having > stability issues, back in 2005. > > http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-January/014985.html > > my understanding is that php will automagically reuse connections if this is not > set, would there by any objection to trialling a removal of this > option to see if > stability increases? > > > >

Hasn't been a new Wine Weekly News in about a month...quite a bit has been going on, with CS2 working out of the box, test suite fixes, etc. Anyone know what's going on? -Austin

Kudos for Photoshop work

by Dan Kegel

In http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=460616&cid=22493322, an anonymous coward said: --- snip --- Preamble: I'm a photographer needing to process tens of thousands of photos relatively swiftly. The functionality I need isn't all that advanced (curves, levels, an occasional straighten horizon (measure + arbitrary rotate), crop, unsharp mask, and sometimes an action to find edges, feather and apply unsharp mask on that), but being able to access and apply this functionality swiftly is an absolute must because of the volume of photos I deal with. Photoshop is optimized to perfection to allow a swift workflow, while the gimp seems optimized to perfection to hinder it. Focus is never where I need it, shortcuts to access tools don't work depending on which sub-window has focus, etc. So yes, I really need Photoshop. I last tried Photoshop 7 under wine about a year ago. It was functional to an amazing degree (for someone who'd never seen or used wine before), but the rough edges were slightly too rough for me to be able to switch to Linux fulltime. I could trigger a dozen crashes in Photoshop at will just by resizing panels and doing other simple things like that, the program didn't feel native (alt-tabbing would keep the panels in the foreground, obscuring other programs), and focus sometimes strayed, amongst other lesser (but still annoyingly noticeable) issues. I just tried the latest wine with these Google sponsored improvements, and wow. This is an amazing difference. Every single issue I saw a year ago is gone. Photoshop feels as responsive as it does under Windows (perhaps even more so), and I went through an hour long editing session without being slowed down or annoyed even once. As far as I'm concerned, Linux is now ready to become my main OS. Google: I don't like your lack of respect for my privacy, but for this work on Wine, I can say from the bottom of my heart: Thank you! --- snip --- Ah. Music to my ears :-) - Dan

I think it probably does something similar to: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/RemoveDriveByLetter.aspx Except instead of mapping a drive to usb device, it does it the other way around. After looking more into it it really looks like this is the thing it does. (I need a bunch of hacks for it to work, but alas.) However it doesn't get me much further since our IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER ioctl is a stub. I would need something that can at least guarantee uniqueness per volume for it, perhaps a conversion of drive letter to integer. Now I just need to figure that one out. Cheers, Maarten.

Re: Adding devices to registry with the help of hal

by Juan Lang

Hi Christian, + /* [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_13fe&Pid_1a00\ */ + sprintf(reg_key, "%s%04x&Pid_%04x", usb_key, pid, vid); I think you mix up pid and vid here. I don't think you shouldn't create the registry keys directly. You should be using the SetupDi APIs instead, I think. That should make getting all the fiddly little details right a little easier. --Juan
