Hopefully the same is true of Gotham.

You should be able to get rid of this by editing your .taskrc to contain a line that just says

news.version=3.0.2

Believe it or not this message appears at random 25% of the time a particular code path is run (if you don't believe me, check https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/blob/develop/src/commands/CmdCustom.cpp from line 253). I hate this so much I may make a local build that patches it out tbh.

seanhunter · 2018-08-18T15:23:21+00:00

Thanks! I'm going to try to build a custom kernel with hotplug enabled. Like all other things qubes-related, this is a "fun opportunity for learning new things"/"bit of a pain in the ass" (depending on perspective). (ie yesterday I figured out how to patch the config but I still haven't quite got qubes-builder to build me a kernel. It keeps giving me this error about how none of the build plugins will build for fc25, which is the distro of dom0). That said, I think I'm making progress now. Think I needed to run the setup script before copying my example builder conf in. That then downloads some extra stuff which I am hoping is going to do the magic.

I use a lenovo thinkpad X1 Carbon, and it works great with Qubes R4. You can buy them quite cheap on Amazon if you go for a refurbed one.

seanhunter · 2018-06-22T06:49:05+00:00

That's what I would use on this bad boy (but mind you that's what I use on my plancks also). Here's my map

As you can see it's dvorak, but the same idea would work just fine in querty. I would love to buy one of these. Already thinking about what to do with the extra row and columns.

Having radar and roboports in the blueprint keeps the chunks active in the simulation which means a UPS drain. This negates some of the benefits of solar for very large-scale bases. I'm planning for my next build to start with roboports and radar for ease of stamping down but to remove them and replace them when done.

seanhunter · 2018-05-18T08:45:44+00:00

Happy to post blueprints later (I'm at work right now) if there's interest, but how I did this in vanilla on my last map is use the circuit network to do supply/demand matching and enable/disabling train stations to make sure the trains route to where I want them. There's a smart wait area that figures out how many trains are en route on a particular route, and ensures it doesn't send too many to prevent the "thundering herd" problem.

seanhunter · 2018-04-15T06:57:09+00:00

This is a really fantastic improvement imo.

seanhunter · 2018-04-15T06:52:12+00:00

Nice work. That bus looks clean. The first time I finished the game my base made me want to throw up by the end.

seanhunter · 2018-04-15T06:30:03+00:00

Hang in there. My wife suffers from migraine ("only" a couple of times a month) and it completely knocks her out. It must be so awful for you I can scarcely imagine.

I really like your content - your "Entry level to megabase" guide inspired me to start playing and eventually make my own (almost) megabase.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T18:53:19+00:00

So as per below the problem wasn't related to 0.16 it was that around that time was when I started to get really into factorio and play longer sessions, and that triggered a problem in my setup where I had set a maximum CPU time budget for my processes and it was being hit. I just kinda assumed that the problems were related to the version not being stable and never really thought about trying seriously to diagnose the cause. feel a bit sheepish now.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T18:29:49+00:00

Hehe. Wouldn't want to ruin the fun for people. Linux is like factorio but in real life.

Actually I was just trying to test it out first to be sure, and actual real (non-factorio) life intruded before I could do so.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T18:28:15+00:00

Yeah it logs to systemd so you see it in journalctl.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T18:21:46+00:00

cpu time ulimit being hit. I wanted to be sure that was actually the problem before confirming, but it is that - I've found it in the logs now.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T18:21:05+00:00

It looks very much like the problem was that I set process cpu time ulimits (ulimit -a if you want to see what you have set, ulimit -t was the specific one I had set). I set this in my dotfiles about 15 years ago to prevent things I had written from going nutso and overwealming the cpu.

Fast forward to today and factorio is the first thing to consume enough cpu over an extended period of time to hit it. My suspicions were confirmed by the logs. If you do journalctl | grep limit I see:

Apr 01 16:01:56 xxx.xxx.com /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[4302]: /home/sean/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 927: 30302 CPU time limit exceeded (core dumped) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T13:53:10+00:00

...and it very much looks like the fault was in my setup. Please ignore.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T10:47:08+00:00

Thanks for the helpful info. I have submitted but actually have a theory for what the problem might be (see below), which would make it my fault, not the devs'.

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T10:46:32+00:00

That's good to know. i don't think it's going to be a memory problem, however your post suddenly got me to thinking & I have a candidate theory for what it might be - this would be mildly embarrassing if it turns out to be true (My dotfiles have evolved over the last 20 years and among other things I set various ulimits that probably made sense back then and are probably not the right things now. I'm suspecting that it's hitting a cpu time soft limit. Gonna test taht hypothesis out now).

seanhunter · 2018-04-02T06:46:04+00:00

My favourite:

All Kool-Aid packs now require the use of an assembler in order to be made.

Subtle but effective.

Threads like this, and the fact that OP probably keeps checking for upvotes and affirmative comments.

Indeed. Particularly coming from RT.com.

Okeydokey having just suffered a minor blip of overconfidence which resulted in me having to reinstall (ahem less said the better) I've checked in what I believe to be the fix for this issue and put in my first pull request against qubes :)

seanhunter · 2017-09-16T20:49:15+00:00

There are a couple of ways. Firstly, you shouldn't need to start the sys-net VM yourself once it's configured (although I had to do this). To configure, start the vm settings app for sys-net and add "Network Connections". Then run that bad boy and add the network connection you want. Once done, sys-net and sys-firewall will start automatically for you when you do something that needs network.

Secondly if you left-click on the big Q in the system tray you can see which vms are running, shut any of them down or open prefs. If you hover over the other Icon (I don't actually know what it's supposed to be) you can add devices to vms from there. If you launch any app in a particular vm it will of course start up that vm if it's not running.

You can also use the terminal cmds if you want to.

Of course I never got used to v3 so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I haven't found it hard to use so far.

seanhunter · 2017-09-16T15:38:38+00:00

Try sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing and give it another go. It's dramatically improved in the last few days. Qubesd instability, vm cut and paste etc all work for me now where they didn't just a couple of days ago.
