| | <<<Back 1 day (to 2014/08/28) | 2014/08/29 |
| marcosw | I'm going to take casper down for a couple of hours later tonight, so git, ghostscript.com, and the cluster won't be available. I'll announce here before I do and when it's back up. | 00:16.23 |
| xux9 | LURKING | 01:05.15 |
| hdon | hi all :) does PostScript have a reciprocal to "index" ? | 02:06.02 |
| | lacking such a feature, i'm using this: %d %d roll pop %d 1 roll, where the "%d" are, in order, the index of the operand stack value i want to replace, and one less than that repeated twice | 02:08.21 |
| | if there's a better way, i'd like to hear it :) | 02:08.33 |
| marcosw | I'm taking casper down now. | 02:22.05 |
| | and casper is back up. | 03:01.45 |
| sebras | marcosw: ha! I'm back! :) | 07:40.52 |
| alkap | Howdy. Any mupdf developers online at the moment? | 10:17.00 |
| kens | If you have a question, just ask it. Developers read the channel logs | 10:17.57 |
| alkap | OK. Thanks. | 10:18.19 |
| | I've just had mupdf crash when I was thumbing through a pdf file using the PgDown key. | 10:19.16 |
| | The error message I got was: error: malloc of array (2243 x 6344 bytes) failed | 10:19.36 |
| | uncaught exception: malloc of array (2243 x 6344 bytes) failed | 10:19.39 |
| | mupdf: exit 1 | 10:19.42 |
| kens | Can you reproduce it ? If so, you can open a bug report. | 10:20.06 |
| alkap | I searched for 'malloc of array' on http://bugs.ghostscript.com/, but found nothing so far. | 10:20.55 |
| kens | Its telling you it was out of memory | 10:21.04 |
| alkap | OK. Thanks. I'll file a bug then. | 10:21.05 |
| kens | Hmm we seem to have 2 ghostbots..... THis can be a test to see if the logs are working | 12:04.03 |
| sebras | hi | 12:05.14 |
| ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 12:05.14 |
| ghostbot_ | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 12:05.14 |
| jogux | :) | 12:05.27 |
| tor8 | kens: kick it! | 12:05.31 |
| kens | A swarm of ghostbots :-( | 12:05.33 |
| | Yeah I could kick one of them.... | 12:06.40 |
| sebras | kens: or me that triggered them... ;) | 12:06.51 |
| Robin_Watts | ghostbot_ is the newer one I think. | 12:07.08 |
| kens | I think so too | 12:07.19 |
| sebras | seems like the originate from different IPs though. | 12:07.58 |
| | one is from an ec3-instance and the other one from casper3..? | 12:08.12 |
| kens | Casper is also an AWS instance isn't it ? | 12:08.41 |
| Robin_Watts | indeed. | 12:09.41 |
| | Marcos updated casper the other day. I wonder if that meant he had 2 instances for a while. | 12:10.06 |
| jogux | casper is on AWS? I wonder why it seems to be so slow when we git fetch sot then. | 12:10.36 |
| Robin_Watts | Cos SOT is massive? | 12:12.58 |
| pedro_mac | I thought we discussed not having ATS on AWS because of the usage/bandwidth costs - presume thereâs a reasonable cost for all the git repos? | 12:14.22 |
| Robin_Watts | pedro_mac: Running a small AWS instance all the time is relatively cheap. | 12:16.22 |
| | bandwidth is cheap between ATS nodes. | 12:16.37 |
| | Running multiple AWS nodes (or running more powerful ones) ramps up the cost a lot. | 12:16.58 |
| chrisl | Well, that was a fun morning..... :-( | 12:17.00 |
| pedro_mac | Robin_Watts: yeah, we have our webstuff on AWS | 12:17.02 |
| kens | Ah welcome back chrisl, I wondered if you were OK | 12:17.14 |
| chrisl | broadband outage | 12:17.28 |
| kens | Oh I think I read Virgin Media were having some troubles | 12:17.46 |
| chrisl | I've been getting to know the virgin media support people - I have no real confidence it's not going to die again.... | 12:18.15 |
| Robin_Watts | eclipse went out for about 20 mins last night :( | 12:18.53 |
| chrisl | To make matters worse, my mobile data wouldn't either | 12:20.06 |
| | I thought the whole internet had vanished | 12:20.23 |
| | OKay, let's see if the logs still work...... | 12:24.36 |
| | We do have two instances of "casper" active right now | 12:25.10 |
| kens | Hmm, that doens' sound ideal either | 12:25.31 |
| chrisl | Oh, FFS! | 12:25.55 |
| kens | I'd guess that's the timeout thingy bringing it back form teh 2nd casper instance | 12:26.21 |
| chrisl | Hopefully, I've disabled the script that does the checking | 12:28.40 |
| | I'm assuming that the instance the DNS points to as "casper.ghostscript.com" is the "real" one | 12:29.36 |
| kens | I guess this bus driver just learned he can't pretend other vehicles don't exist: | 12:29.46 |
| | http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-28978931 | 12:29.46 |
| chrisl | It was the tram's fault..... | 12:30.24 |
| Robin_Watts | chrisl: I suspect this is not worth worrying about. Just wait til Marcos arrives and he'll kill off the extra instance. In the meantime, only one set of logs will actually persist. | 12:30.33 |
| kens | Jumped out in front of him ? CHanged direction and swerved to hit him ? | 12:30.45 |
| chrisl | kens: exactly! | 12:30.54 |
| | Robin_Watts: we're good as far as ghostbot is concerned, the rest I'll leave to marcosw | 12:31.32 |
| | kens: on the upside, Edinburgh City Council have *plenty* of spare trams available to replace the damaged one | 12:32.17 |
| kens | :-) | 12:32.26 |
| marcosw | sorry, I created a second casper to test updating the operating system to 14.04. Forget to disable the ghostbot. | 13:21.44 |
| chrisl | marcosw: I just removed the executable flag from the CHECK_GHOSTBOT.pl script, so that may prompt errors to be logged | 13:48.18 |
| rayjj | kens: I noticed that you didn't say the usual to the person from pilot.co about "support at artifex is only for customers" -- is this person actually working for one of our customers (if so, I missed it) | 14:46.03 |
| | kens: or were you just feeling charitable ? | 14:46.41 |
| rayjj | goes to grab coffee -- bbiab | 14:48.28 |
| henrys | chrisl: I've been using linux for a while and just tried to do a build on macos and had a quoting problem with configure - spaces in path name when it shells to the tiff configure - did you change something recently? | 14:48.59 |
| kens | rayjj I have a suspicion we've helped him before | 14:49.33 |
| | SO I guess, feeling charitable.... (I obviously am not feeling well...) | 14:50.00 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: when you get back I have a quick question | 14:53.14 |
| chrisl | henrys: I haven't touched it since I moved the tiff configure output out of the tiff source dir | 14:53.24 |
| henrys | in theory it should break the cluster as well marcos and I are on the same volume | 14:54.28 |
| chrisl | henrys: is the path involved the default user path on OS X? | 14:55.13 |
| henrys | + /Volumes/Macintosh HD2/henrys/ghostpdl/./gs/tiff/configure --disable-jbig --disable-lzma | 14:55.15 |
| | ./configure: line 5255: /Volumes/Macintosh: No such file or directory | 14:55.15 |
| | there is a space between Macintosh and HD2 | 14:56.00 |
| jogux | henrys: no self respecting unix user would have a space in their cwd :-) | 14:56.10 |
| henrys | jogux: indeed very tacky | 14:56.39 |
| | what bugs me is it works for the cluster | 14:57.06 |
| mvrhel_laptop | henrys: how come you, kens, Robin_Watts and chrisl show up with a different mode in my list of users. what do you have set? | 14:57.55 |
| kens | channel ops | 14:58.10 |
| Robin_Watts | We are operators. | 14:58.10 |
| mvrhel_laptop | ok | 14:58.24 |
| kens | So we can kick annoying people from teh channel | 14:58.26 |
| chrisl | henrys: there is quoting missing - I'll fix that shortly | 14:58.36 |
| pedro_mac | ok, Iâll go quietly | 14:58.40 |
| mvrhel_laptop | uhoh. I better watch what I say :) | 14:58.43 |
| henrys | mvrhel_laptop would you like to be an operator too? ;-) | 14:58.44 |
| mvrhel_laptop | no. I might abuse the power | 14:58.59 |
| Robin_Watts | pedro_mac: going quietly would remove all the fun :) | 14:59.10 |
| kens | Some time back we had someone we would have liked to have kicked, but couldn't because only Ray had ops priivileges, so we asked to get a few more of us elevated | 14:59.22 |
| jogux | refrains from any comment about a certain MDM vendor. | 15:00.04 |
| | but I suspect kens meant a different sort of kicking than I have in mind. | 15:00.32 |
| kens | If I could physically have reached the person in question, no :-) | 15:00.56 |
| jogux | :-) | 15:01.07 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: what's your question ? | 15:22.24 |
| mvrhel_laptop | oh. so company M is going to send you an equipment loan agreement | 15:22.56 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: OK. | 15:23.06 |
| mvrhel_laptop | to sign | 15:23.08 |
| | do you want me to give them your PO box and your home address plus cell phone | 15:23.33 |
| | not sure how they are sending it | 15:23.43 |
| | i will cc you on the email I am replying to them on | 15:23.53 |
| | rayjj ^^ | 15:24.01 |
| marcosw | I'm planning on upgrading casper from Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS to 14.04.1 LTS this weekend (Monday is a bank holiday in the states so very few people in the US will be working over the weekend). If everything goes smoothly it will be down for 3 hours or so. I'll announce it here before I take it down. | 15:24.03 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: np. For mail, I prefer the PO Box, but for packages, the home address. For phone, use the 484 # | 15:24.26 |
| mvrhel_laptop | ok | 15:24.32 |
| | thanks rayjj | 15:24.41 |
| | you should get the board today | 15:24.46 |
| rayjj | we got a notice 2 days ago that the power co has a planned outage at our house on Monday from 8am till 2pm :-( | 15:25.19 |
| | sounds like a good day to take the famiy somewhere (except for Labor Day traffic) | 15:25.46 |
| | mvrhel_laptop: I'll let you know when I get it | 15:26.08 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: ok thanks | 15:26.13 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: were you going to send me the tracking # | 15:26.47 |
| | heading over to the office (kids off to school) back online in a few (assuming the network is up there) | 15:28.11 |
| marcosw | d | 15:40.23 |
| mvrhel_laptop | rayjj: let me find it | 15:41.59 |
| | bbiab | 15:42.01 |
| chrisl | henrys: I've committed a patch with the tiff configure stuff quoted - if you want to try it | 15:48.19 |
| henrys | chrisl: thanks will do | 15:54.52 |
| | chrisl: what's happened to my mac: configure: error: unsafe srcdir value: `/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/henrys/ghostpdl/./gs/tiff' | 15:57.56 |
| | configure: error: libtiff configure script failed | 15:57.56 |
| | I can fool with it later. | 15:58.01 |
| chrisl | henrys: I'd suggest maybe a git clean -x -f -d and try again? | 15:58.36 |
| henrys | i did | 15:58.50 |
| chrisl | I have no idea then, I've never seen an error like that | 15:59.05 |
| | I bet that error is from the tiff configure, not ours, and that's not my problem :-) | 15:59.53 |
| | henrys: I've got a solution, I'll commit before I finish this evening | 16:08.00 |
| henrys | chrisl: the cluser on macpro doesn't have the space in the pathname. I am not sure this wasn't breaking for me before though. Odd. | 16:16.30 |
| | chrisl: works now | 17:04.36 |
| chrisl | henrys: ah, cool, was about to ask...... | 17:05.05 |
| marcosw | I'm launching another casper instance, so we will get a second ghostbot for a bit until I terminate it. | 18:24.46 |
