Too many coredumps after update.

alizee · 2018-01-15 17:52:23

Hello. Too many applications crashes with an "Illegal instruction" message after recent update. My CPU does not support SSE2.

librsvg 2:2.42.0-1.0 breaks termite, geeqie, seamonkey, aisleriot, gimp,
babl 0.1.38-1.0 breaks gimp,
qt5-base 5.10.0-2.1 breaks qt5 apps (qbittorrent, keepassxc, wireshark).

I downgraded to librsvg 2:2.40.19-1, babl 0.1.30-1 and it works fine.

termite:

I fixed qt5-base (-no-sse2).
In testing KDE starts again.

I cannot reproduce the gimp, termite issues in testing, so I hope librsvg was a temporary issue.

alizee · 2018-01-16 22:13:17

Thank you.
It seems that other Qt5.10 libs also contain SSE2 instructions:

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-17 17:07:44

Ah. Thanks. Totally forgot about those. So we should actually check all qt5-xxx packages for missing -no-sse2 flags.

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-17 17:18:38

I don't see I can do a reconfigure on those packages. So I fear, they took some SSE2 information from qt5-base and must all be scheduled for a rebuild.

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-17 20:24:02

thanks again. :-)

alizee · 2018-01-18 16:40:33

I have installed qt5-base-5.10.0-3.2, qt5-svg-5.10.0-1.2 and qt5-x11extras-5.10.0-1.1 from testing and now qbittorrent and keepassxc works fine.
Thank you. :)

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-18 16:42:26

nice, glad this thing is solved. thanks for testing. :-)

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-18 17:02:15

I'm still fighting with a KDE back screen problem, but I'm not sure if it is related to SSE2.

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-18 17:44:15

ah. but it does. so SSE2 stuff krept into kde libraries or some other Qt libraries.
I think, we should add an opcode inspector now to the build system..

deep42thought · 2018-01-18 17:53:46

I'll be happy to include an opcode check on built packages, but I have absolutely no clue on how to achieve this. I guess, this is rather something, that you, Andreas, should write.

andreas_baumann · 2018-01-18 18:02:35

I agree. :-)
I'll think about a first simple script.

nanawel · 2018-04-13 05:45:25

Hi,
same here, after upgrade I cannot start Lightdm nor GDM as they dump cores on librsvg.
I have an old AMD Athlon XP 1900+, which probably lacks SSE2 too.

Downgrading to librsvg-2:2.40.19-1 solves the issue, but how about a more permanent solution?

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 07:34:33

I tried to build the library with 'target-cpu=pentium3' in the rustc flags.
I just installed lightdm and lxde on an old machine without SSE2 with librsvg 2:2.42.3-1.2
and it works on a machine with mmx, sse and no sse2.

Just to make sure, is librsvg 2:2.42.3-1.2 crashing your system?

Because I fear that we have to go for '--target-cpu=i486' to avoid all optimizations
(and the topic of split repos for i486, Pentium to Pentium 3 and post-Pentium 3 comes
up again).

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 07:36:59

I suspect that the lightdrm greeter is crashing. Which one are you using? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM.
As GDM is also crashing, I would bet it's the GTK one..

nanawel · 2018-04-13 07:44:06

Hi Andreas,

Just to make sure, is librsvg 2:2.42.3-1.2 crashing your system?

Yes that's the one, the latest version available.

I'm using lightdm-gtk-greeter which seems to be the best option as I'm using Xfce as DE.

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 07:56:41

Just testing on an alix 1.e with a geode AMD processor.. :-)

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 08:04:46

Ok, it's showing a cursor, then crashing, and in a loop. :-)
So, currently minimum requirement for Archlinux32 is a Pentium3 with at least MMX and SSE.
The only other option is to start to build some central packages like librsvg against i486 or so..

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 08:07:34

I wonder, what the AMD Athlon XP 1900+ is missing to run librsvg:

flags : fpu vme de tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow

It has mmx and sse. And sse2 is not being used (anymore) by librsvg in Archlinux32.

BTW, I did not add this precision but the cursor + crash in a loop is what I get too. With GDM on the other hand it does not even get to the cursor (but also crashes on librsvg as logged in journald).

andreas_baumann · 2018-04-13 08:55:38

I just had a hanging sddm login.

Sadly, hand-crafted CPU optimization comes in more and more, C/C++ doens't have a decent
compile and rutime support to check for CPU features and everybody is hacking their own
stuff.

There is always text-based login and 'startx'. :-)

Or you could try 'slim' (a better option anyway for old machines IMHO than bloatware using
GTK, Qt just for a simple login screen).

nanawel · 2018-04-13 14:32:11

Using lightdm-mini-greeter seems to do the trick. Not really a good solution but it works.
