Checked memory usage, time of crash 200kb chip and 5000kb fast.

Try a lower res screen?

No need to check wit lower resolution. Memory wasn't problem, there was plenty of it still availlable, both chip and fast. Biggest contiouns was 11mb or 11000kb

Or did you have something else on mind?

200K chip mem free doesn't seem like much...

[utri007]

200K chip mem free doesn't seem like much...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Netsurf memory usage was 200kb chip and 5000kp fast. So there was a 1100kb chip free and 13 000kb fast free. Biggest continous block was 11 000kb

Ah, OK, definitely not that then.

We'll probably have to wait to see if Matthey can analyse those Guru errors, unless anybody else here is able to in his absence?

[wawrzon]

sorry chris, have been testing the new archive but have no definite result to report yet, as to where the problem might be. im not at my studio now, but i might test in uae tomorrow or on real hardware if i get back to it. hold on.

[matthey]

I'm back. I tried the newest archive and it has problems. The welcome page no longer loads nor does any other page. I can't quit either. I get this MuForce hit:

I believe ABADF00D is a pointer from unitialized memory. This may be exec list related. Do I need to debug this?

I'm back. I tried the newest archive and it has problems. The welcome page no longer loads nor does any other page. I can't quit either. I get this MuForce hit:

Yes please, as I don't know what I've changed to cause that!

[wawrzon]

i didnt test quitting till lately, so i cant say it was possible previously, still it definitely didnt worked with the last one. matt, have you test it, since it may been the case all along and not being a new bug?

[matthey]

I went back to the last version I was using before I left and it works fine including displaying pages and quitting from the menu,

@Chris
The MuForce hit occurs inside exec.library AddTail(). The list *lh_Tail (offset 4) is where ABADF00D comes from so the list is unitialized or corrupt. I'll see if I can figure out where in NetSurf the call comes from.

Edit: I believe the hit comes from a graphics.library RectFill() call in ami_plot_clear_bbox(). RectFill() in the graphics.library calls a function in the P96 rtg.library which calls an ObtainSemaphore() in exec.library which calls AddTail() where the hit happens and then it calls Wait() where it waits for a very long time.

i just put a network card again in my a4k/060/mediator box. loading time till gui along with checking fonts which i have plenty is acceptable.
however the actual build of netsurf doesnt seem to load fully. the gui seems to work, i can type into an addres field and invoke menus, but neither seem to have any effect. i cant though resize window. must retest in uae..

is there an option not to run netsurf on separate screen? this annoys me.

[chris]

Yes there is.  Actually if you use the Installer script it puts this config in for you  Otherwise, have a play around with the Settings=>Edit Preferences options, as I'd like to know if they are working anyway!

@matthey

Ta, easy to fix - I'm not checking that x1

OK, that should be fixed in the new build I've just put up.

[wawrzon]

just tested the fresh download under uae. same result as on real hardware. not dependant on resolution or color depth. do you guys are able to interact with the browser your place? log needed?

[matthey]

OK, that should be fixed in the new build I've just put up.

Same result here also, It still has the hit in AddTail() from RectFill() and then NetSurf is unresponsive.
