Mesa broken on DragonFly

[ghost]

Hi!

After recent Mesa upgrade I get runtime error:

% mpv 242651.mp4
Playing: 242651.mp4

seems related: NixOS/nixpkgs#41428
and lots of other google search results

another one:

seems that mesa 18.2 might have a serious issue

[jrmarino]

either that, or mpv needs to be updated to follow ...

[ghost]

@jrmarino you better say that everything needs to be updated because I can't use ffmpeg

[jrmarino]

I think we need an understanding of exactly what is broken, if it will be fixed, etc. before we take any action. Right now I have no idea what's going on. As Reese said in the Terminator, "I didn't build the fucking thing".

If mesa 18.2 is broken across every platform (and that seems to be the case, many linux complaints) then mesa needs to fix it. I want to understand what's going before any kind of version drop though. If you provide some understanding, that would be helpful.

Ok, this is not a Ravenports's issue, but Mesa's. Setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to 1 made things only much slower.

[jrmarino]

don't close this, it looks like a real issue.

[jrmarino]

and are you on 18.2.1 or 18.2.2 ? I updated dragonfly with latest mesa today.

[ghost]

18.2.1, because it's the latest package available

[jrmarino]

crap, it looks like I forgot to upload the packages after building them. I'm on linux now (same machine) so I can't go back easily.

[jrmarino]

let's wait until I can get 18.2.2 uploaded and see if that fixes anything.

[ghost]

I need a better setup for memory to build such a bloated giant like Mesa, I need 32-64 GB of SWAP (currently I have only 8 GB of SWAP which gets eaten fast while building LLVM), for that purpose I have to reinstall DragonFly

[jrmarino]

okay, I finished with linux and now I just finished uploading the dragonfly packages I built this morning.

[jrmarino]

so update everything and let me know if mpv still malfunctions (mesa now on 18.2.2)

[ghost]

@jrmarino sure, I have to fetch them manually because pkg upgrade points to 18.2.1

[ghost]

Anyway, upgrading Mesa didn't help.

btw, I have a question: what's the point of ridiculously calling a directory "os:min_ver:arch" instead of "os" when you support only one architecture and provide the same packages for all OS versions? (seriously, without web browser I wouldn't figure out how ${ABI} expands)

[kraileth]

@jrmarino I've updated to current Mesa on FreeBSD and I'm not experiencing any issues so far. I've not tested mpv, yet, though.

@mazocomp This is a question of consistency. DF might only support one platform, but for FreeBSD and Linux at least ARM64 support is planned.

The pkg(8) program does that, it's the pkg's constructed ABI.
When you call something "ridiculous" when you don't understand it, it makes you look dumb. Judgmental words like these should be used when there is complete understanding (e.g. expert level).
I'm guessing this trait has caused you issues in the past, so I'm point it out as a service to you. You might want to ease away from this.

I really screwed this update up. trying again.

[jrmarino]

It wants to rebuild 377 packages so it will be a while. I don't think I completely rebuilt this and uploaded a partial build.

[ghost]

well, "x86:64" looks really nice

[jrmarino]

The packages finally rebuilt, they were all the heavy ones. It's uploading now. I'm taking off, overwise I would have waited until the upload was complete.

[kraileth]

Is this solved and can be closed?

[jrmarino]

I didn't add any patches. If it's fixed, the normal mesa upgrades fixed it.

[jrmarino]

i would say the mpv test in the first post needs to be repeated (with success) before closing this.

[jrmarino]

FYI, both dragonfly and freebsd repositories are up to date right now so official packages can be used to check.

[jrmarino]

I downloaded an mp4 video and was able to watch it via mpv so I think we can close this now.
