Gentoo and PTS

[ivanovic]

Okay, I updated the ebuild in the "request for ebuild" post in the gentoo bug tracker. Now there is a recent ebuild for 0.9.0 and git head. Maybe someone can use them.

Some TODOs are still open in the recipes, maybe one of you knows how to fix them.

I'll look a little deeper into the motherboard detection. I've just tried this on my laptop an I get Unknown too, even though:

[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
  system.hardware.vendor = 'FUJITSU SIEMENS'  (string)
[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
  system.hardware.product = 'AMILO Li 1718'  (string)
[uncle_fungus@Iguana phoronix-test-suite]$ lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"
  system.hardware.version = '-1'  (string)

I tried what you suggested uncle_fungus. It gave this:

$ php -r 'include("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions_system_parsing.php");include_once("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php");echo read_pci("Host bridge:") . "\n";' && rm -f {graph,user}-config.xml

Do you wish to proceed (Y/n)? y

[B]Unknown[/B]

So, it gave me Unknown, just like system-info.
On a whim (possibly dumb I know), I tried it again as root, and got this:

# php -r 'include("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions_system_parsing.php");include_once("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php");echo read_pci("Host bridge:") . "\n";' && rm -f {graph,user}-config.xml

[B]Intel DRAM Controller[/B]

So, at the end it does give something after all the error messages.
Which made me realise that the lspci and lshal commands you'd given me before hadn't worked as my user. Ever since I've had Gentoo installed I've just always had to run most basic system commands like that as root, although I've never really bothered to think why (coming from Ubuntu where I could, without sudo).

However:

# which lspci
/usr/sbin/lspci

Anyway, long story short. I updated my /etc/profile and added a few sbin paths, and now those commands work as a user. I now get Intel DRAM Controller for chipset, but still no luck on motherboard.
I love this tinkering stuff!

[uncle_fungus]

I'm pretty sure that the chipset registering as "unknown" is because lspci doesn't actually contain the whole string (i.e. there isn't an actual chipset being given).

My lspci output gives:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM Controller (rev 02)

Which pts converts to:

Intel 82G33/G31/P35/P31

You can check what pts is getting out of lspci with the command below. You need to run this from your pts folder, say yes when it prompts (it'll clean up after itself).

php -r 'include("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions_system_parsing.php");include_once("./pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php");echo read_pci("Host bridge:") . "\n";' && rm -f {graph,user}-config.xml

Same login issue

Hello,
I have already posted elsewhere,
but is there anyone running PTS on Gentoo flawlessly? I can't upload results, login.. also, the HDD space shows only one partition (9GB /) and not whole drive... Information about running programs are missing as well (using 0.5.0).

Thanks.

I have same login issue on version 0.6 HD space looks normal on system info though

[xris]

Thanks uncle_fungus,

Installing xrandr solves the resolution problem.

I'm just getting the hang of grep'ing the php files to find my answers. But thanks everyone for helping anyway.

It's only the motherboard and chipset that aren't working in system-info now. But if I do the commands manually like uncle_fungus suggested, they work... mostly.

# lspci | grep "Host bridge"
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation DRAM Controller (rev 02)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
  system.hardware.vendor = 'Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.'  (string)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
  system.hardware.product = 'P35-DS3P'  (string)

# lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"
  system.hardware.version = ''  (string)

So that's giving "Motherboard: Unknown, Chipset: Unknown" in system-info.

I don't know enough PHP to understand why.

[uncle_fungus]

Chipset:

lspci | grep "Host bridge"

Motherboard - a combination of:

lshal | grep "system.hardware.vendor"
lshal | grep "system.hardware.product"
lshal | grep "system.hardware.version"

Resolution (if not using nvidia extensions):

xrandr | grep '*'

For Nexuiz it looks like you need libXxf86dga installed.

Yeah, silly of me. I installed libXxf86dga and it works great!

Hello,
I have already posted elsewhere,

Thanks.

I'm assuming (from looking at other people's results) that the HDD space just lists whatever partition that is mounted as / .

I've only just now tried to login and upload results, and I cannot login or upload my results either. I'm assuming if you don't login it just gives an anonymous user on the PTS global site, so should still be able to upload.

$ phoronix-test-suite upload ~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-results/compression/test-1.xml 

Results Failed To Upload.

If I try to log in with the details I registered with on PTS global it just gives: "PTS Global Account Not Found."

Also, the system-info command gave bugger all info until I installed the mesa-progs package which includes glxinfo. But even with that I don't get the motherboard info etc. From reading the 0.6.0 release notes, the Motherboard field is pulled from lshal. I've checked that I have this installed. I've even run lshal with various greps looking for some mention of my board or chipset, but I don't know what to look for, only this:

# grep lshal pts-functions_system_parsing.php 
		$info = shell_exec("lshal | grep \"$name\"");
		$info = shell_exec("lshal -u $UDI | grep \"$name\"");

But it's a lot of work working back through variables that I don't understand. I can't figure out what pulls in the screen resolution entry as well.
Otherwise, this is my system-info output:

$ phoronix-test-suite system-info

Regarding the Quake 4 profile, that is currently broken and known not to work. Quake 4 also depends upon the full retail copy, not the free demo of the game.

For Nexuiz it looks like you need libXxf86dga installed.
