Description (last modified by jackburton)

I will attach my screensaver collection (115 items -2,4Mb) which i used for testing Haiku's ScreenSavers. Good news is that most of them (~100) seems to work, didn't test them in fullscreen mode though. Here are what i've found for the rest of them:

*1. I've started ScreenSaver from Terminal and on every ssaver selection i got

"runtime_loader: cannot open file /boot/beos/system/add-ons/Screen

Savers/<screensaver_name>".

Tip: open ~/config/settings window to delete screensaver_settings file when ScreenSaver start to crash on start. I think this is something to work out too.

*2. This screensavers will crash ScreenSaver pref: DS_Wobble: Segment violation KanjiSaver: Segment violation LicenseBreaker: Segment violation MeltdownBlur: Trying to delete a view that belongs to a window.Call RemoveSelf first. PrimalVision: Trying to delete a view that belongs to a window.Call RemoveSelf first. Roto_saver: elf_resolve_symbol: could not resolve symbol SetiSaver: Segment violation Sphere: Segment violation ZeroWing: addon_file ain't readable. darn! ChaoticLine: have some problems too, don't remember. Samhain: will freeze ScreenSaver. MapSaver: !!!Haiku will reboot!!! BrainWash: !!!Haiku will became black&white!!! IdleMind: ScreenSaver will close.

*3. Screensavers are wrongly sorted in the end of that list. *4. Almost all ssaver have font sensitive issues. (e.g. Nebula ;-) ) *5. ScreenSaver itself isn't font sensetive. *6. Running almost every screensaver in fullscreen will not let you out. You have to switch to another workspace and kill screen_blanker. (test case: Nebula) *7. After you killed screen_blanker in #6 via team monitor switch to first workspace, team monitor will be behind ScreenSaver pref. *8. If you have this savers installed and delete ScreenSaver_settings, after ScreenSaver start it will not select 1st module, but 6th or 7th instead. *9. Module listview need to prettfy.

All in all this is collection is a good stress tests for haiku, which should show it week sides. If there is a need, i could attach back traces for every crashing module.

comment:1 by diver, 18 years ago

Platform: All

Some problems went away and some new problems appears. 80% of ssavers will not work without libnet.so, so i made up a link to libnetwork.so to make them work. Very often after screen_blanker crash, app_server will deadlock too. Sometimes when screensaver pref crashes and then you close debug window frozen screensaver will stay on screen until i kill gdb from processcontroller. If you select first ssaver and then hold down down arrow you will crash ScreenSaver.

All in all there is a big troubles with screensavers, so it would be nice if you could have a look at those, Axel!

comment:2 by diver, 18 years ago

If after screen_blanker crash you will quickly press ok in crash window app_server will not die!

comment:3 by jackburton, 17 years ago

Description: modified (diff)

Diver, can you recheck after hrev19891 ?

comment:4 by diver, 17 years ago

screen_blanker don't crash anymore and app_server crashed only once with bt from #634. So now ScreenSaver will crash or hang or just will not load a saver. Also some savers doesn't work in fullscreen mode, while in prview mode thay are ok. Ah and annoying slow selection of savers should be avoided if possible.

comment:5 by kaoutsis, 16 years ago

The file 'Fetcher' included in ScreenSaver_2.zip doen't appear to be a valid screensaver, or it's corrupted; i tested also on hrev5, it doesn't do anything in preview mode (selecting Fetcher the test button is disabled), and if i insist selected it as screensaver, ScreenSaver pref. just ignore it. On Haiku crashes the ScreenSaver pref. if selected.

comment:6 by aldeck, 16 years ago

Diver, can you recheck? At least some crashes could have been fixed with hrev25761 . I'll have a look at the remaining problems. Thanks!

Please someone fix formatting in description and in my comment 7.

I would recommend to close this bug as fixed as most of the bugs are fixed now.

After that I will open new tickets about remaining bugs.

comment:9 by diver, 15 years ago

Any opinions on these?

Just let me look into it before I say anything - may take a while, but it's on my list. Please schedule your next nagging in about 3 month ;-)

Just looked into BrainWash, and fixed a bug in BWindowScreen that prevented those from working. However, it still doesn't seem to work. Feel free to do as you suggested :-)

I have more but I think you get the idea, a couple of screensavers crash the OS including MapSaver making debugging difficult. Others simply don't work but don't crash. Many have layout issues but that is expected.

comment:18 by pulkomandy, 10 years ago

I'm sure I had 3DMorph running, like, last year.

Anyway, what's the point of reopening this very old bug for probably unrelated crashes? I'd rather have a new bug (or maybe several ones) with one different problem at a time (compare the stacktraces). For example, I know BrainWash isn't running anymore, but that's because of a race condition in BDirectWindow initialisation, which doesn't even belong in screensaver kit...

This is a crash in Flash Player screensaver in SetDefaultSWF. So it's likely it's just a bug in this screensaver.

Tested with Haiku hrev52031 x86.

NOTE: DuckSaver works. Use the DuckSaver package in Haiku Depot. Working screensavers may also live in something like the http://clasquin-johnson.co.za/michel/repo/packages/beos_screensaver_collection-1.0-14-x86_gcc2.hpkg, although I created a custom hpkg test package for testing based on the included packages attached to this ticket.

Screensaver works or notbeos_screensaver_collection-1.0
BrainWash works, doesn't exit cleanlynot in package
Clozer blanknot in package
CubeSaverTwo doesn't loadnot in package
Flash Player crashesnot in package
IdleMind quits windownot in package
MapSaver missing files, doesn't loadnot in package
SETISaver blanknot in package
SheepSaver doesn't load, no resource filenot in package
ZeroWing crashesworks in package

I can suggest closing this ticket as these remaining screensavers were either removed from the tested beos_screensaver_collection-1.0 package or fixed in the package (i.e. ZeroWing). They require additional files or proper porting which are optional at this time.

The BeOS DuckSaver program found here: http://maybe.de/software/ducksaver/ doesn't work right on Haiku because it hard codes the directory to look for its assets (/boot/home/config/add-ons/Screen Savers/DuckSaver/) and that directory no longer exists on PM Haiku. The version on HaikuArchives https://github.com/HaikuArchives/DuckSaver uses a method only available on Haiku (Resources SetToImage) to find the assets without hardcoding directory paths so it should work fine on Haiku (but not on BeOS). https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/classBResources.html#a7134ad1f4514b6b5546957aade7ca77a
