Unable to resolve DNS within Julia on Windows

mlubin commented 10 years ago

I'm helping out a user who's experiencing a very strange issue (Windows 8, 64-bit):

julia> ;nslookup github.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 18.71.[...].[...]

*** UnKnown can't find github.com: No response from server

But pinging github's IP address from within julia works.

The strange part is that if you run the same command in the Git bash that comes with Julia, it works fine:

$ nslookup github.com
Server: [...]
Address: 18.71.[...].[...]

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: github.com
Address: 192.30.252.131

This is an issue with all DNS lookups, not just github. There are no firewalls enabled (that I can find). The same occurs with julia 0.2 and 0.3. This happens on all networks, not just MIT wifi. The internet connection seems to work fine from all applications except julia. How can I debug this?

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

From reading the issue thread it sounds like the patch should work. The OP will need to confirm, but yes, I intentionally worded the commit message in such a way that GitHub would tentatively close the issue

There are new 0.3-pre binaries up with this patch included.

@drlivip @kbauer @wheineman @flashus: please test.

kbauer commented 10 years ago

@Isaiah: I reinstalled julia using the current binaries from the download page (and checked that the file differs from the previous one). The behaviour remains unchanged.

@Isaiah and @kbauer: I did the same, including deleting the .julia folder before running the test, and also saw no change in behavior.

If someone wants to do an IRC or TeamViewer session that might be helpful. I'm looking for a Windows 8.1 VPS but haven't had any luck so far.

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

I installed a newer version of Windows 8.1 enterprise trial, and still can't reproduce. Looking at the Windows 8.1 comparison page doesn't show any helpful differences. I believe everything works correctly for @karbarcca (?).

I would also be interested in seeing a comparison of:

julia> ENV
julia> run(`julia -e "print(ENV)"`)

from anyone who has this issue.

drlivip commented 10 years ago

@Isaiah: Both commands produce the same results with the exception of the statement "bias_num_threads=8" at the end of the dump due to the "run" command.

My output is below. I'm tied up for the next few days but I could probably to an IRC with you @ihnorton on Wednesday sometime if that would help; though it seems like I'd have to try and reproduce!

@karbarcca, thanks - one more thing: if you have a chance, please check with the latest nightly too (if you are self-compiling).

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

@vtjnash could this somehow be related to unicode? I noticed that libuv's process.c always uses CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT. Should we be defining UNICODE and _UNICODE?

kbauer commented 10 years ago

Just in case it's helpful: run(julia --help) works, but run(julia --version) causes the uv-common.c/83 error.

wheineman commented 10 years ago

Neither run(julia --help) or run(julia --version) leads to failure on my machine.

drlivip commented 10 years ago

So bizarre! run(julia --help) and run(jula --version) both work for me. However, the original problem with Pkg.status(), etc. is still present.

Would someone mind to double-check with the most recent binary?

Assuming prerelease v0.3.0 is the latest binary, I downloaded and tried. Same "unable to access" result.

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

Thanks. There were some issues with uploading the 0.3-pre binary around the time of vtjnash's change, so I wanted to make sure.

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

I keep having this feeling that there are a disproportionate number of non-US users experiencing this bug. That seems to suggest we are having a unicode-conversion issue somewhere in base. Unfortunately, attempting to switch my windows 8 install to German didn't reproduce the bug, so I'm not convinced I managed to reproduce the same environment as having installed with the German locale originally.

wheineman commented 10 years ago

Using this install, julia-0.3.0-prerelease-570b2bd-win64.exe, I still see the same error. And despite having a German last name, I'm in the US and using US locale.

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

@vtjnash same feeling. libuv always creates a Unicode environment, and perhaps some versions of these tools are not expecting this. So far I haven't found a way to check the Unicode flag from within a process.

drlivip commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure if this helps at all, but my install history: I'm in the US and originally upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.0 from Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance (I'm an ECE Prof) to experiment with the ability to develop Windows 8 apps. I upgraded to 8.1 when it stabilized and the black screen video bug was fixed. All this was done prior to my first encounter with Julia.

@drlivip interesting. @kbauer @wheineman: did you upgrade to Win 8?

kbauer commented 10 years ago

Yes. Sadly I was forced to do an Upgrade-Installation, as my device die not allow a clean installation (lack of manufacturer support). The root cause being related to this would not surprise me too much - there are some other issues too that I blame on Windows 8. Am 23.05.2014 21:57 schrieb "Isaiah" notifications@github.com:

wheineman commented 10 years ago

No. The laptop where I experience the issue is a company provided laptop. They wipe the factory install that comes with the laptop and install a company standard installation. For what it's, worth, I don't see the issue on a standard Windows 8 install with an upgrade to Windows 8.1 on a laptop at home.

kakobrekla commented 10 years ago

I am seeing this as well, first time install w8, eu, haswell, present on irc.

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

(from 0.2.1 debugging session with kakobrekla)

julia> run(`cmd /c "ping github.com"`)
Ping request could not find host github.com. Please check the name and try again.
ErrorException("failed process: Process(`cmd /c 'ping github.com'`, ProcessExited(1)) [1]")

julia> ccall(:system, Cint, (Ptr{Uint8},), "ping github.com")
Ping request could not find host github.com. Please check the name and try again.

julia>

perhaps it's not libuv?

(also tried bytestring(ccall(:setlocale, Ptr{Uint8}, (Cint, Ptr{Uint8}), 0, "English_United States.1252"), so perhaps it's not encoding)

(also tried C:\julia>julia -P "ccall(:system, Cint, (Ptr{Uint8},), \"ping github.com\")" still got Ping request could not find host github.com. Please check the name and try again)

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

FYI, in case it helps for testing w/o libuv: https://gist.github.com/ihnorton/36d4da32b91bcb557ba8

(3/4 of the time this waits and ping works as expected; the other 1/4 it throws an access violation in the Rtl unicode initializer)

kakobrekla commented 10 years ago

Tried your test code with 0.3.0. As you say, it will randomly throw access violation or, in my case, fail to ping in the same fashion 0.2.1. does.

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

Seems like calling CreateProcessW directly shows the same behavior, so we can (more or less) rule out libuv. We should try fiddling with the environment string.

drlivip commented 10 years ago

Some exploring:

run(cmd /c "ping 127.0.0.1") works run(cmd /c "ping ::1") also works run(cmd /c "ping localhost") fails with "... could not find host localhost..."

and, of course, all three work in a command window.

I believe a DNS discussion was had back in February. Maybe a revisit?

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

At this point, I think we fairly well understand the impact. I'm looking for someone with a source build of julia on windows who can ping me on IM some night to help narrow down the cause of the problem more. I have some more ideas to research.

tkelman commented 10 years ago

Presumably you mean someone with a source build on Windows who sees this problem?

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

correct

kakobrekla commented 10 years ago

I have some good news and some bad news. Or perhaps they are both bad or both good, not sure.

I have followed the procedure to build 0.2.1. from sources on the problematic machine. The result is the following:

my build will throw an error on Pkg.update() or similar;

julia> Pkg.update() INFO: Updating METADATA... ERROR: could not spawn git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name --abbrev-ref HEAD: n o such file or directory (ENOENT) in _jl_spawn at process.jl:217 in spawn at process.jl:348

the original build (standalone and studio) is no longer producing the original issue. (yes it is working as it should now) In short, what I did: prepare build environment, reboot, build. Someone should probably figure out which of those steps actually fixes the problem. Perhaps its the reboot :)

wheineman commented 10 years ago

I'll download the latest source and see if I can still build. If I can I would be glad to work with anyone, provided you can define night to be night EST.

kakobrekla commented 10 years ago

The bug reappeared now. A reboot made it work again.

ihnorton commented 10 years ago

Not sure if it is related in this case, but I came across some vaguely similar issues related to the Name Resolution Policy Table: http://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2014/01/13/troubleshooting-name-resolution-issues-on-directaccess-clients/ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/64ed2412-8b3c-455d-9d7e-d0192d38500c/dns-from-new-subnet-fails?forum=winserverNIS

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

On IRC, we were able to show it is not limited to DNS, since IP addresses were also failing to connect.

mlubin commented 10 years ago

In the original case, we were able to ping external IPs, but we didn't try connecting to any servers.

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

through more IRC sleuthing, we learned that something in julia_init() causes the failure

kakobrekla commented 10 years ago

Current progress: the loading of module "LinAlg" corrupts it.

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

from IRC, the loading of libopenblas corrupts it. does anyone with a PRE-haswell cpu see this bug?

vtjnash commented 10 years ago

although, running this in intel sde with haswell emulation doesn't seem to have the issue

drlivip commented 10 years ago

The machine I'm having issues with is a laptop with an i7-3612QM, which I believe is an Ivy Bridge.

you can find out what openblas thinks your processor is by running the getarch binary included in openblas: ./getarch 0 | grep CORE=

I have to plead ignorance (I'm just an old-fart hardware designer). Not sure about ./getarch 0 | grep CORE=. I understand the intent, but am not sure what environment I should be in.
