archstats Problems

freakyc · 2004-08-09 15:28:02

Has an update broken archstats? When I try to run archstats -u, I get:

Error communicating with ArchStats Server:
Couldn't resolve host 'archstats.coding-zone.com'

But I am able to resolve the name, which makes me think it's the program. Anyways, I didn't see anything on this, so I thought I'd bring it up.

perhaps it needs to be rebuilt against the new glibc. File a bug report.

When I try to run archstats -u, I get:

error: kernel config file contains invalid character

I use standart Arch kernel.
It's happen with kernel 2.6.8 , 2.6.9, 2.6.10

that happened to me too. I just did a reconfig of archstats (archstats -r?)
and am no longer sending kernel information. I don't do anything different from default kernel, so I figured why send it anyway..

I get the same error. I thought that it might have been something wrong in my custom kernel configuration, but then I saw it comes up even with the stock kernel.

Yup, this is a known bug. I should have the fix loaded into extra in the next few days. In the meantime, a good work-around is to modify your config (or reconfigure with 'archstats -r') and disable sending the kernel config stats.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Is it only me or does new archstats (3.9) give "Corrupted ArchStats client" error to the others as well? :-)

cactus · 2005-01-26 10:01:00

nope. I get it too. I just didnt say anything yet. :oops:

farphel · 2005-01-26 11:15:14

What is the md5sum of /usr/bin/archstats?

lucke · 2005-01-26 11:19:29

f06312cb9463d06694fa6801d5110f3c

The last two characters are in a reverse order, compared to the md5sum stated at archstats page.

farphel · 2005-01-26 12:58:30

Thanks. Should be fixed now. Sorry 'bout that...

lucke · 2005-01-26 16:29:17

No problem, thanks for your work :-) Btw, I've just noticed a typo in the reconfiguring script:

Submit list of installed pakcages: 'Yes'

So you'd just keep that in mind when launching next release :-)

Cheers,

after updating some kernels and modules i get this:

[damir@Asteraceae /]$ archstats -u

error: /proc/pci contains invalid character
offending string:     Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 2).
[damir@Asteraceae /]$

I think what it's telling you is that you should buy yourself a kick-butt sound card and disable the AC'97 in your bios

Actually, I've got a check for suspicious characters in the data it collects and one of the characters I check for is the single-quote, so it's tripping on the AC'97 string. I'll have to tone down the check a bit on the next release. In the meantime, you can disable sending PCI stats as a short-term workaround.

Thanks,

ähm ... it's a laptop and i have not much chance to add a second soundcard to it --- but don't worry about the quality of music i listen to, my old 266MHz machine has a yamaha digital card that is producing excellent sound ;-)

I've got a similar error message as below:

[bsdson@henrylee Desktop]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/archstatsrc stop
:: Updating ArchStats [BUSY]
error: kernel config file contains invalid character
offending string: 'CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config"
'
[DONE]

...
and what can I do besides disabling sending kernel config information?

thanks.
