Improvements to the script #18

Closed Oxalin closed 6 years ago

Oxalin commented 6 years ago

Improve warnings and how we handle unsupported distributions. Check if ramdisk already exists and deal accordingly. Move to GCC 7.2.0 source code to fix a bug with systems using glib 2.26.

Cherrypick whatever please you.

suaefar commented 6 years ago

Thank you for all the improvements. Did anyone test it on Ubuntu 17.04? Did it segfault? I don't have any faulty CPU anymore to test if the script still does what it is supposed to do with the source of GCC 7.2. I would assume yes, but who knows.

damienleone commented 6 years ago

FWIW I tested it on Ubuntu 17.10 beta. I can confirm that it fixed the normal compilation error I was having before. Unfortunately I still got a segfault after several hours, which is likely bad news for my CPU.

Oxalin commented 6 years ago

I confirmed with gcc 7.2.0 that my CPU was segfaulting (under ArchLinux though)

Oxalin commented 6 years ago

I've received my new CPU and I had a go with it against GCC 7.2.0 (with my branch) without any problem on ArchLinux. No more segmentation faults.

@evsh reported an issue with Ubuntu Artful with main branch (since Artful is now using glib 2.26). Maybe he could try this branch and give his feedback?

suaefar commented 6 years ago

Okay, now that Artful is released this is really an issue, so I merged the changes. I am confident that faulty Ryzens should fail fine with gcc-7.2.

I will leave this open just in case there there will be problems.

@Oxalin, thank you again for your input! I am looking for someone who helps me to maintain this script. Would you be willing to help out? A problem is that we don't have faulty CPUs to test anymore. We would need to take actions based on user reports.

suaefar commented 6 years ago

Hm, it was closed automatically after merging.

Oxalin commented 6 years ago

Of course, I would happy to help maintain and improve the script.
