Goa - How to satisfy find_package()?
by Spencer 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Hopefully a simple question- I am trying to port a CMake project (arcan <https://github.com/letoram/arcan/tree/master>) that uses Freetype and looks for it using find_package(Freetype REQUIRED QUIET). I've added 'freetype' to 'used_apis' but that did not seem to make it happy. Worth noting, I am doing this in a separate directory from my Genode git clone, I assume that is not a problem? This article <https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2024-01-11-lomiri-calculator-porting> seems to suggest that there is a way to add a CMake file that satisfies it. I found this file <https://github.com/Manabu-GT/sdl_core/blob/aed19cd68e02b11e27275c05e00cf242…> on github, but I don't understand what it's doing and it's not the same one referenced in the article. Additionally, the arcan cmake <https://github.com/letoram/arcan/blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt> calls for find_package(Threads REQUIRED) and fails here too. I see that PThreads seem to be supported in the libc port, and foundations 8.13.1 gives a genode native way of starting threads. I assume the method for this is similar to the one for Freetype?

Finally part of the PinePhone club
by ttcoder＠netcourrier.com 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Howdy all, I mentionned before my SD card woes, which I suspected were the reason I couldn't do much WiFi-based testing of SculptOS on the P.P. Well yesterday I 'stumbled' on yet another SD card to test with (it must be at least the third one) and -- drumrolls -- now everything works 'nominally'. So let it be known to current and future testers, "if at first you don't succeed, keep trying out several SD cards until you find one that does work" (of note: it does not seem to be the pinephone hardware which is at fault, since even MS Win running Etcher or Rufus sometimes fails to "burn" an SD card, even though its "find bad blocks" feature does not reveal anything... it's starting to look to me as the situation in the bad old days of 3.5" floppy disks when you could expect several disks in a ten-disk box to be bad). Anyway, with this newfound no-name micro SD card/4GB that works (compared to the previously tested 16 and 32 GB that fail in various interesting ways), it's now possible for me to, boot SculptOS, expand the partition size (the UI now returns control in a couple seconds after the expand, yay), make it the "Default" partition, enable WiFi and type a password, and then update the system (used that feature to update from genodelabs/sculpt-pinephone-2024-04-26 to genodelabs/sculpt-pinephone-2024-05-02) and of course, try out various Preset's. Most Preset scenarios run, except for the more RAM hungry ones which get stuck on resource requests (from what I can make out after donning my reading glasses), like "Morph web browser" -- indeed as noted in the Genodians.org articles, so that was expected. I should have selected a pinephone variant with more RAM to truly be a "first class citizen".. oh well -- will keep checking future updates though, as they are bound to introduce new presets and features, both at the high-end and at the low-end of RAM consumption, and it litterally takes just a few seconds with the on-target updater to upgrade to a new SculptOS image once it's released (well done!).

File vault performance
by mntn 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with file vault performance. I tested a Debian VM with and without the file vault and performance was noticeably impacted by its use. Additionally, heavy file vault I/O (copying lots of data or growing the vault) seems to tie up one of the CPUs completely, although the top tool shows that the nvme fs component is taking more of the CPU load than the file vault, which surprised me... but that may just be an artifact of the parent/child relationship. For some specific numbers: ~47% load for init -> runtime -> nvme-1.3.fs ~14% load for init -> runtime -> file_vault -> file_vault -> tresor ~8% load for init -> runtime -> nvme ~7% load for init -> runtime -> nvme-1.part All one one CPU, others were idle. This was while expanding file vault capacity from 30 to 64 GB. The process took over half an hour to complete (still running at time of this email). This is on a newer machine that supports AES-NI and which has no problem dealing with LUKS full disk encryption, so it surprised me to see these results.

depot_download troubles
by Stefan Thöni 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Dear Genodians After updating to genode 24.04 we found an intermittent problem involving the depot_download runscript in very specific circumstances. The problem manifests itself by fetchurl getting stuck for more than 10 seconds downloading a signature file, then aborting with the message 'Error: Operation was aborted by an application callback (code=0)'. Next fetchurl sucessfully downloads the archive file but then signature verification fails because no signature was downloaded. Some debugging revealed that in the error case the DNS response is forwarded by the nic_router a few milliseconds after the request but is not read by the fetchurl application until immediately before the abortion message, e.g. more than 10 seconds later. Further debugging is difficult since this Heisebug disappears when more output slows down execution. For illustration I've added an excerpt from the log below. The problem occurs infrequently and only under very specific circumstances: * using kernel base-hw running on qemu * on our gitlab CI/CD runner inside docker * on two distinct physical servers at our hoster We have unsucessfully tried to reproduce the problem as follows: * on the same physical machines manually started inside and outside docker * on other multiple physical machines using an identical gitlab CI/CD runner setup The problem occurs with both lxip and lwip network stack. The problem seems to disappear when we run the network stack (lxip/lwip) inside the fetchurl process instead of a separate vfs. We think we hit a very peculiar corner case of signalling between the network stack running in a separate vfs and the libc socket plugin. We would greatly appriciate any insight of what might be amiss or any suggestion how we could proceed with debugging.

Pull requests. Staging or Master branch?
by Jack Curran 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Hello, I have made some pull requests. I have just updated some readme files to markdown format. As far as I understand pull requests are a request to introduce/upload my changes to the Genode repository. This is my first time ever using/learning git, so I am not very familiar with how it works. I see that there are two branches in the genode repository, Master and Staging. Staging seems to be the most active branch where new changes are being introduced before an official release? Is the master branch supposed to be a copy of the latest public release and is only updated every time a full public release is announced? Staging seems to be the active development branch. So I made my pull request to that branch. Although I am not sure which branch I am supposed to make pull requests to? The genode contributions page says to make pull requests to the master branch. > As a rule of thumb, every line of development should have a corresponding issue in the issue tracker. > This will be the place where we will discuss your ongoing work. If there is no issue for your topic, please create one. > Once there exists the issue with a short description about what your line of work is about, create a new topic branch based on the genodelabs/master branch.

Converted Genode, Goa and Genodians.org Github repositories README files to markdown
by Jack Curran 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Hello, I have made 3 pull requests for the Genode, Goa and Genodians.org Github repositories. I have changed the README file to README.md to make it a markdown file. Nearly all big Github repositories use README.md markdown files as it allows the creation of more sophisticated and professional Github pages. I would appreciate any feedback on the changes. You can view my changes on my Github forks: https://github.com/axiomsss/goa https://github.com/axiomsss/genode https://github.com/axiomsss/genodians.org Thanks.

Help building genode tool_chain source code for goa application porting
by Jack Curran 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

Hello, I want to learn Genode and SculptOS so I am trying to learn how to port applications to Genode/SculptOS as a learning experience and to help contribute to the project. I have never packaged an application or ported one before, so this is a first time experience. I know that Genode is quite an advanced project and probably not for novices like myself, however I am very interested in the project and would like to contribute. I would guess the best way to learn how to port applications and make packages is by actually trying to just do it. I've been looking around the internet trying to find various guides from github and genodians.org to learn how to do this. So far I have come to the conclusion that I need to use Goa on a Linux system to build these ports. So I am using a virtual machine with Ubuntu to do so. However none of the Goa guides show how to actually install Goa, so that is what I have been struggling to find information on. I am now reading the Genode Foundations Book as it seems to have more information on compiling the genode applications and tools from source. I am using a virtual machine running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and I have installed the necessary packages as stated in the book: "Recommended development environment Genode is regularly used and devel- oped on GNU/Linux. It is recommended to use the latest long-term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu. Make sure that your installation satisfies the following require- ments: • GNU Make version 3.81 (or newer) needed by the build system, • libsdl2-dev, libdrm-dev, and _libgbm-dev needed to run interactive system scenarios directly on Linux, • tclsh and expect needed by test-automation and work-flow tools, • xmllint for validating configurations, • qemu, xorriso, sgdisk, and e2tools needed for running system scenarios on non- Linux platforms via the Qemu emulator." Reading the Goa github readme, it says I need the genode tool_chain. To get the genode tool chain, I have cloned the genode github repository and I have the source tree with the genode/tool/tool_chain file I have run the following commands: "git clone https://github.com/genodelabs/genode.git" "cd <genode-dir> git checkout -b 24.05 24.05" "cd <genode-dir> ./tool/create_builddir x86_64" Reading the Genode Tool_Chain section on the genode website it says: "Compile from source For those of you who prefer compiling the tool chain from source, we provide a tool for downloading, building, and installing the Genode tool chain. You find the tool in Genode's source tree at tool/tool_chain. For usage instructions, just start the tool without arguments." I have run this command: "./genode/tool/tool_chain" Is this what is meant by start the tool without arguments? The following message comes up: "~$ ./genode/tool/tool_chain bash: line 1: gcc: command not found Need to have 'flex' installed. Need to have 'bison' installed. Need to have 'g++' installed. Need to have 'libncurses' installed. Need to have 'libncurses' installed. Need to have 'texinfo' installed. Need to have 'libexpat' installed. bash: line 1: gnatmake: command not found Need to have GNAT installed and the GNAT version must match the GCC version (found GCC ). Need to have 'libgmp' installed. genode/tool/tool_chain:170: *** Please install missing tools.. Stop." Do I have to also manually install each of these packages using sudo apt install gcc flex bison g++ .... etc I would have thought that a make file or something similar would manually install all the dependencies for me? I am just not sure if I am doing this correctly and want to know if I am doing something wrong. I previously installed each dependency/packages needed as stated in the error message until I had no errors left. Then it seemed to start compiling the genode tool_chain via GCC, however it continued compiling for several hours, so I thought maybe I was doing it the incorrect way, so I cancelled the compilation. I want to first ask if I am even doing this the correct way before I spend more time trying to compile something incorrectly. Thank you.

Native SVG icon rendering instead of rasterizing? Who is responsible for GUI design?
by Jack Curran 09 Jul '24

Hello, I am curious who, or what team, is responsible for the GUI design of Sculpt OS. Especially the Window Manager preset that comes with Sculpt by default. Which I am sure is the window manager that most users are using? I am willing to create icons for the Window Manager GUI if needed. I don't know what licenses are equivalent to the AGPLV3 when it comes to graphic design? But whatever license is closest, I can publish my icons under that for the project so that there is no interference with licensing. You can see my icon suggestions in the github issues on the genode repository for anyone who hasn't seen my suggestions. https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5278 https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5279 https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5266 https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5268 https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5276 I am curious if it is possible to use SVG rendering instead of pixel rasterizing for Icons? It would mean that we could have a single universal icon file that could be scaled and oriented/rotated without having to make several rasterized file copies of the same SVG icon for a particular resolution, scale and orientation/rotation. There are so many different screen formats and resolutions now from smart watches, phone screens to large high dpi desktop screens and TV's.

Use SculptOS as a server?
by Jack Curran 09 Jul '24

Hello, I am interested in the possibility of using SculptOS as a server? I am not sure how viable this is as I am still learning how to use SculptOS and what capabilities it has. But to me, it seems like the perfect server OS because it is focused on capability security and uses a micro kernel which has many benefits such as isolation/sandboxing and stability due to driver crashes being in user-space instead of kernel level etc. I was planning to use NixOS and run several docker containers as my home NAS and email server, however, I see no reason why I couldn't run docker containers in a virtual machine on Sculpt OS instead? Then it would be a lot more secure and an interesting project to try and use it as a server. I plan to use the HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10 Plus V2 which is an Intel based server computer. So it should be compatible with SculptOS.

Dear community, I want you to be aware of that most of the Genode staff will be on holiday during the next few weeks. This implies that we might not be able to respond to the mailing list or GitHub issues in a timely fashion in the same way as we usually do. So, in case there is no response to your request/question, you now know why. We will try to resolve any inquiries as fast as we can after holiday season. Thanks for your understanding, Sebastian -- Sebastian Sumpf Genode Labs http://www.genode-labs.com · http://genode.org Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.
