Pychess freezes on Ubuntu with Unity #822

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi!

First: I love pychess because I like the design and the playful but functional 
style. But I encounter some problems since update to Beta.
Pychess freezes and crasdhes regularly on various occasions,since I upgraded 
from the stable version to the Pychess 0.12beta4-1. I use it on Ubuntu 13.10.

 Playing ffline and playing online on FICS freezes Pychess, if:
'Giving up' freezes pychess.
'Saving' freezes pychess.
'Enable undo'freezes pychess.
'Offer Remis' freezes Pychess
'Break' freezes Pychess
Pychess crashes frequently after starting FICS; many times in between a game or 
while doing a move.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. 'enable undo'
2. 'give up'
3. 'Save' or 'save to file'
4. Opponent 'Give up'
5. Crash unpredictable.
6. Ask for a 'Break'
7. Offer 'Remis' (Literally all functions of the actions segment)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect that pychess is doing what it is told instead of a freeze. I 
have to force quit and close instead.

Does it happen every time?

Freeze yes. Crash frequently.

What version of the product are you using?

Pychess 0.12beta4-1

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?

I used the recent deb and updated the archive as described in another post to 
make sure I got all the bugfixes.

Please provide any additional information below.

Please attach the latest pychess logfile. It's in a hidden folder, under
your homedirectory, named ".local/share/pychess/"

Unfortunately I can't reproduce these.
1. Can you produce the same freeze with other engines?
2. Do you have a log from FICS crashes?

Hi gbtami!

It works on my computer, doesn't work on my laptop. Tried purge and
reinstall via console. Won't do. New install as bad as old one. Any idea?

Hi Peer!
Seems it some kind of threading issue (race condition?). Can you reproduce it 
with other installed chess engines, like glaurung, sjeng, crafty, etc.? Can you 
attach a .log file from a FICS crash, please too?

Hi gbtami!

No I can't reproduce it with other chess engines like eboard or chess or scid. 
It's special. 
I have pychess running on two machines, desktop and laptop. The laptop shows 
all the crashes as described above, the desktop meanwhile some, too, but not 
all.
With the desktop I am able to store games at least, but it freezes too, when I 
use Fics and i.e. call for a rematch, or it closes down while opening.
I would love to dsend you a Fics crash report - but where ad how to find?

Cheers Peer

I deinstalled several times incl.the hidden pychess files - no better. Then I 
downgraded to pychess 0.10.1beta1, which is no better for me. At least it 
didn't close down during a game on fics the last days.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
eboard and scid are not chess engines (I know nothing about chess), they are 
chess client (GUI) programs. Chess engines are console programs which plays 
chess in command line or you can install a client (GUI) like 
xboard/eboard/scid/pychess to play against them. Can you reproduce the freezes 
only with playing against stockfish engine or playing against other engines 
too? You can see the list of your installed engines in menu Edit->Engines.

I like to see a .log file regarding a FICS crash too. It's in a hidden folder, 
under
your homedirectory, named ".local/share/pychess/"

Hi!

It's the same with all engines. I have GnuChess, Pychess of course, Stockfish 
and Sjeng. No difference. The freezing not only happens with FICS, it happens 
when offline, too, with actions like Save or Offer Undo i.e.

Here comes the log of the very recent crash - I played one just for you ;-)

I downgraded to 10.1 again, because with the Beta it even get's worse, but same 
picture here as there.

For the freezes, it doesn't make a difference, if I play against a computer or 
a human.

I ended the game (lost because of same stupid mistakes and because I ran out of 
time ;-9)

Tell if you need else.

Thanks!

The .log created with 0.10.1beta1 doesn't help here, because we fixed several 
bugs since. If you can reproduce the crash with 0.12beta4 it's .log may help. 
Can you describe a bit more detailed (step by step) how you produce a crash and 
what you see exactly?
Anyhow, thx. for helping and for your patience!

Hi gbtami!

First: it's my pleasure. Nice to have people out there who do such nice stuff 
;-) So thank you!

I played another game and reproduced one of the typical and regularly crashes, 
when trying to save the game after it's finished. But this happens only on my 
laptop. The log is attached.

But on both machines no offer undo or offer rematch i.e. working. All except 
logging in to FICS or playing a normal game against computer does not work 
during a game and after it. It always freezes and I have to force shut or even 
restart to bring it back to life.

Maybe apython issue or compiz too? I am no expert and have no clue. Just trying 
reinstall won't do anything. Crazy enough: the first version, before I updated 
worked fine and since then no way, even if I downgrade.

By the way: I miss something, which I thought is great for training purposes: 
the function to undo moves. That allows to try other ways, until the better way 
is found. Analizing after a game is lost is great, but for training and 
building an inner eye it would be great to have this function back. I read the 
post of the father, who said who would not like it for his son, but I would 
like it for me ;-)

One more typical crash. Happens not always but frequently.

While opening Pychess, it closes down with a crash report. See attached log.

One more suggestion regarding the design: The white figures in most designs are 
greyed out when on black field, because they are just shown with their frame. I 
would prefer to see them fully white as opposite to black, because they are 
psychologically better seen that way. It's a common problem with chess players 
not to see the obvious anyway. Worse if the figures are greyed out ... ;-) 
Better would be an ivory background with distinct white and black figures IMO.

Are you sure you are testing 0.12beta4? Your attached .log files seems played 
with the old 0.10.1beta. 0.12beta4 logs always start with "PyChess Anderssen 
0.12beta4" in first line.

I think I don't understand your "function to undo moves" suggestion. Isn't it 
the same as "offer undo"?

There are no frame only figurines in 0.12beta4 themes at all, but I agree we 
need some more themes for black and white board fields in the future (ivory, 
wood, etc.)

Hi!

Yes I should. I deinstalled the older Pychess version including 
.config/pychess, .local/share/pychess and .cache/pychess, downloaded the most 
recent .deb (pychess 0.12beta4-1) file from your site, reinstalled Pychess from 
the Ubuntu repositories and updated afterwards using the deb. 
But as I wrote, i don't understand why even the older version on the 
repositories is also not working as it did before.
But I tried now: deinstallation of pychess and the 3 hidden files as mentioned 
above and reinstallation just the most recent deb. The appearance is different 
now, but still freezing, when I try to save a game. I attached the log, which 
clearly indicates it's the pychess 0.12beta4-1.
If I sm the only one to experience this: Is there a way to check the python 
part, if there might be a bug?
Regarding undo: before one could simply take one or more moves back to try 
other variations to continue the game - try and error for the best solution ;-) 
Now the 'Offer Undo' tab is a different approach, as far as I understand, 
because I don't want to offer undo, I want to undo my own moves instead. But I 
could not try, because it freezes always anyway, if I try to test it.

Cheers Peer

Could you please supply an exact set of steps on how to reproduce the freeze, 
as well as whether it is what we call, "reproduceable", which means that by 
following some set of steps, you encounter the problem/freeze every single 
time. And don't forget to attach the resulting log file. Thanks for your time.

Here is an example:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1) Play a standard chess rules game against pychess
2) Go to Game -> Save Game
3) Click "Save" Button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

pychess freezes

Does it happen every time?

Yes

Did the freeze problems start after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10?

Original comment by mattgatto on 1 Dec 2013 at 1:53

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi Mattgatto!

Let me first answer your questions.

The freezes (or crashes have nothing to do with upgrading Ubuntu to 13.10, 
because I was using it since I installed Pychess from repositories the first 
time.

The version from the Ubuntu repositories is 0.10.1beta. There it was working 
like a charme, all functions I tested.

The problems came up when I downloaded the most recent deb, which is PyChess 
Anderssen 0.12beta4.

After updating the crashes and freezes happen regularly and constantly, when 
doing certain operations.

I run Pychess on a laptop and on a desktop, both under Ubuntu 13.10.

On my desktop it works now all after deleting and reinstalling, but not on my 
laptop.

Logging in to Fics and playing online and offline games works on my laptop, too.

Everything else only on my desktop only works on the desktop.

On the laptop it takes a second, when I try to save the game, then the window 
turns grey and freezes. It will not respond any further to any command. I have 
to force shut Pychess in order to continue or play a new game or even to 
restart the computer (sometimes).

On both machines all commands of the 'Actions' or 'Saving' sections result in 
an immediate freeze after about two seconds, no matter if I play online or 
offline against a human opponent or against an engine.

1) Play a standard or any other game against Pychess or on FICS.
2) Apply on of the 'Action' commands during a game or try to save after a game.
   Click one of the buttons like 'offer remis' or 'save under' i.e.

4) Pychesss take about 2-3 seconds, greys out and freezes (no reaction on any 
command including 'close').

5) I have then to 'Force shut' Pychess (sometimes even shut down the computer) 
in order to be able to restart for a new game. If I don't apply any 'Actions' 
or try to 'Save' I can start a new game after finishing one.

6) It happens every time.

You find the logs in #15 and #16 already. #15 shows a game on FICS, #16 shows 
an offline game against an engine, both played on my laptop.

Hi Peer. So in the example of 'Saving', when _exactly_ does the freeze occur? 
Immediately after doing 'Game' -> 'Save' in the pychess window menu? Or after 
you click the 'Save' button in the 'Save Game' dialog? Judging from your log 
file, it seems like the latter, because it appears to have saved the file 
correctly. Is that correct?

Original comment by mattgatto on 1 Dec 2013 at 7:44

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi Mattgatto!

It freezes after 'Games' / 'Save Games' or 'Save Games under' It's the only way 
I see to save Games.

And it freezes after whatever 'Action' commands  I use during a game - may it 
be online or offline.

I then have to right click with my mouse on the Pychess desktop symbol and 
choose 'force quit' in order to be able to restart Pychess. Trying to close or 
anything else in the Pychess window would not be possible any more and won't 
show any effect.

Yes it saves a file - I just did a nonsense game against an engine and attach 
the file it saved. But I can't open it with Pychess - it freezes when I try as 
well and again, I have to 'Force shut' as described above.

2.) Commented out like this:

3.) In Nano:

def _set_statusbar (gamewidget, message):
    assert type(message) is str or type(message) is unicode
#    gamewidget.status(message)

4.) Save with 'Strg O' / Close with 'Strg X'

5.) Played a game against computer

6.) Tried to save the game.

7.) Pychess greys out and freezes

8.) Have to use 'Force shut' to close and start again.

Hi Peer!
Can you try the latest pychess from source, please? Install mercurial from your

Then standing in the dir where you downloaded it, start with:

Regarding the connection to FICS in general: I am using SCID now instead, works 
like a charme, no disconnection whatsoever, except if the opponent is cutting 
connection, which is considered a forfeit and shows me I am the winner ;-) But 
no disconnection, easy continuation with another opponent to choose.
I miss some functions of PYCHESS though and also like the interface and it's 
easy-to-use design more than SCID, especially regarding the analysis of a game 
and choosing an existing offer for a game and the communication between players 
- in SCID it's all console work, which makes it more complicated and slower. On 
the other hand SCID is much more sophisticated and has many more functions 
(which I don't use, but some professional players might like).

Finally I was able to reproduce this on 13.10 in Virtualbox. The problem was I

Hi gbtami!

Found the solution myself. Played one game and saved it and used "resign" on 
"action" panel - worked all like a charme and no freeze.

The complete way to solution is:

Use the latest and source as follows, cd to the file and start via Console with 
the above command afterwards.

Step by step (all commands in the console):

1. sudo apt-get install mercurial

2. Enter your password upon request and let it install. Close console 
afterwards.

2. Then open your browser and go to:

3. http://code.google.com/p/pychess/source/checkout

4. Save the directory to a file you prefer.

5. Enter the installed directory via console on your computer. In my case this 
is in /home/peer/pychess, so the command is:

cd /home/peer/pychess

6. Start pychess in the console with:

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= PYTHONPATH=lib python ./pychess

There you are!

Hi Mattgatto!

After intense playing I can say it's really nicely working, all commands work.
There are only some few crashes at start up with online chess FICS and 
sometimes, when I do chat, it might shut  down without warning. But only 
sometimes.
I do love Ubuntu, but I don't get, why the testing of major innovations is not 
tested before implementing it. It really keeps people away.
There was this long story of new sound architecture, which needed intense 
workaround, and the next thing is unity - it is crashing again and again on my 
system, not shutting down though, just occcasionally, but creating crash 
announcements form the system in a row.
Jobbs understand, that design and functionality comes first - design with 
Ubuntu is nice, and function in general as well, but then happen those obvious 
blunders, which could have easily avoided by testing a bit in advance. Alas ... 
thak you mattgatto and gbtami for your support!!

I am using the szandard Ubuntu desktop, that comes shipped with it. So I would 
need a Gnome or Xfce for testing first. Do I have to run Virtualbox for it or 
is there an easier way to try?
I found a minor issue: when chatting, only part of the conversation is shown in 
the dialogue window of the gaming screen. To see all, I have to go to the main 
dialogue menu.

Hi! 

Thanks, I am just doing the install, will test today and let you know right

Regarding Ubuntu ... OMG - great ;-)
They would just have to have someone DAU with a MEDION Computer to test and 
would know within 2 days, what is working and what is not, and two coders for 
max. 5 days - problems solved. 
I am rather DAU and it took me just a day to experience the problems, just a 
week, to collect parts of the solutions in the net, write them down in a user 
friendly and DAU oriented way and publish them for those who experienced those 
Ubuntu problems as well - who were quite many - which made me a top spot of 
workaround knowledge online ;-) ... as DAU!
Ubuntu could be in a position as Apple by now ... seeing all the major windows 
illnesses - NSA not to be the latest, but a major and most serious argument for 
even stubborn windows users, to change systems. Alas ...

I heard, they even employ someone for the purpose of testing ...
