Hello.
I have recently installed Richard Drummonds UAE for Linux ontop of my Mandrake Linux setup.
It works well, the GFX ist fast enough for my needs (spoilt by Amithlon) but i need to solve some last few problems i still have.
One of them is the bsd-socket emulation that keeps to crash.
It crashes everytime i use IBrowse for some minutes. At first some pictures refuse to load, then nothing comes thru anymore. Then IBrowse locks up, sometimes UAE is exiting and it even locks the X-mousepointer.
On the Linux side, in the Terminal i started UAE from, theres an errormessage that says:"BSDSOCK: failed to create thread".
Has someone experienced the same? Or can someone help me?
Thats pretty much anoying because the rest of UAE works so good.

Hi Kadi
One of them is the bsd-socket emulation that keeps to crash.
Yes. It does that. ;-)
I haven't had time to do anything with the bsdsocket emulation yet. It works in a limited kind of way as is, but is decidedly dodgy. It works okay with AWeb for browsing, but I have heard that Voyager and IBrowse cause problems. It may be a threading issue - can you restrict the number of streams that IBrowse uses?
I will fix the bsdsocket emulation eventually. I don't have the time to do it right now.
Cheers,
Rich

Yes it's possible to reduce the number of network connections in IBrowse and i'm going to try that...

:pint: The first one's on me....

Let me know if it makes a difference or not . . .

Hello, Richard, and welcome to Amiga.org.
Thanks.

I'd kill for a pint of Theakston's Old Peculiar right now. You should see what passes for beer in this country. ;-)

Do you still intend to provide a glibc2.2 version of the uae-0.8.23-20040125-ppc binary or is that no longer supported (it's a nightmare trying to upgrade Linux on 56k dialup)?

It makes a difference, with connections reduced to two i can use IBrowse for about half an hour, increased to 16 i cannot load Amiga.org for two times without the crash.
So it helps a bit but doesn`t fix the problem sufficientely.
I encountered another problem concerning IBrowse. Sometimes IBrowse crashes the Emulator on startup, saying:
Jit can' t handle access
JIT: instruction byte 0 is 8b
JIT: instruction byte 1 is 57
JIT: instruction byte 2 is 04
JIT: instruction byte 3 is 89
JIT: instruction byte 4 is 55
JIT: instruction byte 5 is dc
JIT: instruction byte 6 is 83
JIT: instruction byte 7 is e2
JIT: instruction byte 8 is f8
JIT: instruction byte 9 is 83
segmentation fault
and the x cursor is locked.
I have set the JIT to "indirect". With "direct" and "direct after Picasso" i see some MUI or Workbench patterns to show up corrupted.

Yes. If I haven't done it within a couple of days, mail me to remind me about it. I have a head like a swiss cheese sometimes . . . ;-)

I have had similar reports of problems with IBrowse. I need to test it myself to check out what it's up to . . .

I've not heard that before. Perhaps you can give me more information.
