00:18 sfan5 is there some requirement you have to not concatenate them?

01:33 giov4[m] <sfan5 "is there some requirement you ha"> nevermind, I did what I wanted to do differently
02:01 rubenwardy Why is nesting a problem?
02:02 rubenwardy It just puts color codes at the start and end
02:02 rubenwardy Oh wait, it doesn't use a stack

10:47 phoenix_ hello. HOw do I start Minetest with a single block,or a couple ? I wanna start from scratch everything. I tried single node,but when I enter world, there is no block, and I keep falling forever. Im new to this,btw. On 5.3.0, ubuntu
10:47 phoenix_ thanks
10:48 phoenix_ even a small platform would work. I dont want a complete gigantic world.
10:50 sfan5 singlenode is the right one but you'll need to enable fly mode as soon as you spawn and then use a mod such as worldedit to place a single node
10:50 sfan5 because the entire world generates as literally just air
10:51 phoenix_ how do I do that,if you dont mind ? ..and how do I get all available building blocks ,when I start? Thanks
10:54 sfan5 open chat and enter /grantme fly
10:54 sfan5 press K to enably fly mode
10:54 sfan5 if you have worldedit you'd use something like (each a separate command) //pos1 //pos2 //set dirt
10:55 sfan5 for creative mode enable it in the mainmenu before joining the world
10:55 sfan5 then you can open the inventory and just grab anything from there
10:58 phoenix_ thank you very much . I will try that :)

16:07 beanzilla I assume if I wanted to quickly "clear" out a section of nodes quickly I would use worldedit with //set air or something like that?
16:09 Krock yes

16:34 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> If you don't want to install worldedit (it's kinda big, complex, may have some security implications) then there are simpler mods like "origin" that place a starting node for you.

22:09 Sven_vB I'm playing MT 5.3.0-ppa0~ubuntu20.04.1 on Ubuntu focal. When I try to connect to the server I used to play on, at "Initializing nodes 1%..." and after --verbose message "INFO[Main]: SourceShaderCache::getOrLoad(): No path found for "nodes_shader/opengl_geometry.glsl"", my system freezes. first, mouse cursor movement becomes slow and jumpy, then it no longer moves. keyboard shortcuts aren't processed, and SSH connections die. ICMP
22:09 Sven_vB echo requests continue to be replied. after a minute I invoke OOM kill via magic sysrq, MineTest is killed and the queued keyboard shortcuts start to be interpreted. any ideas?
22:10 Sven_vB how can I debug this?
22:12 sfan5 GPU? driver?
22:12 sfan5 because it sounds like either or both of those are badly broken
22:12 sfan5 also Minetest is not installed correctly as evidently shader files are missing
22:16 awell joined #minetest
22:18 Sven_vB thanks, I'll investigate the missing files
22:24 Sven_vB indeed, I cannot find any filename containing "opengl_geometry" in http://ppa.launchpad.net/minetestdevs/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/m/minetest/minetest_5.3.0-ppa0~ubuntu20.04.1_amd64.deb
22:26 sfan5 https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/all/minetest-data/filelist
22:26 sfan5 it's in there
22:26 sfan5 huh wait you're using the ppa
22:27 sfan5 ignore what I said earlier. we don't have any opengl_geometry shaders, so don't worry about that
22:27 Sven_vB when I try in singleplayer, the last --verbose message before OOM kill is "VRBS[ConnectionReceive]: con(15/2)WARNING: ACKed packet not in outgoing queue seqnum=65505"
22:27 rubenwardy sounds a bit like an OOM
22:28 rubenwardy are you using dreambuilder?
22:28 Sven_vB maybe because I installed new mods.
22:28 rubenwardy (I'm joking)
22:28 Sven_vB no I don't have dreambuilder :)
22:29 Sven_vB I would hope that if it's mod related, MT would detect it and blame the bad mod, rather than freezing my system.
22:45 Sven_vB I disabled all mods (renamed the mods folder), now it doesn't hang the system but stalls at "Media... 0%", clouds not moving, for several minutes now
22:45 Sven_vB oh it continues
22:45 Sven_vB now it hangs, same as before.
22:47 Sven_vB maybe strace can tell me what MT is trying to do.
22:52 Sven_vB I see. it's very busy stat()ing hundreds of paths in ~/.minetest/textures/refi_textures//textures/ that all give ENOENT. maybe this busywork is why there are network queueing errors.
22:52 Sven_vB I'll try with that texture pack disabled
22:56 rubenwardy oh intersting
22:57 rubenwardy weird how it would give ENOENT
22:57 rubenwardy does it really check every path for a texture? Surely it should scan the paths into memory?
22:58 sfan5 stat isn't that inefficient
22:58 sfan5 on Linux that is
23:09 fluxflux_ joined #minetest
23:24 adfeno Sven_vB, rubenwardy, sfan5: I wonder if stat is really the culprit, or if strace even while following forks or children, would be the right place to look for causes.
23:25 adfeno I would try journalctl or, var/log/syslog, or dmesg
23:28 adfeno first two for general errors (depending if your system uses systemd's journalctl module), and last one is for internal kernel messages.
23:29 * cheapie grumbles a bit about the whole thing with putting "you hacker you!" in the descriptions of not-in-creative-inventory items seeming to have gone out of style or something
23:29 adfeno there is also /var/log/Xorg.log for errors related to the display's low level manager, including rendering, extra displays, etc.
23:32 cheapie ...on the other hand, a result of this seems to be that 'grep -i "you hacker you" init.lua' seems to be a surprisingly accurate way to tell if I worked on a given mod or not :P
23:37 adfeno I wonder if there is a way to force a complex Lua sw that is not designed to run in parallel, to do run in parallel inside a Minetest mod?
23:39 adfeno I tried coroutine.creat e and .resume, but the Verse Lua XMPP client library still took control of the session and blocked Minetest from opening a server.
23:42 adfeno I'll test with Verse from older versions (those based on libstrophe), to see if I have luck.
23:45 Sven_vB a reboot seems to have solved the problem, for now
23:46 Sven_vB maybe the GPU had a problem with the state it was in, after the initial OOM kill
23:47 numzero adfeno: Lua coroutines are cooperative, they aren’t concurrent or even preemptive
23:47 Sven_vB in the main menu, is there another option to quit the game via pointer device, than the window decoration's close button?
23:49 numzero and it is definitely impossible to magically turn single-threaded code into multi-threaded code
23:51 adfeno Sven_VB: do it like I do: Alt + F4 (in some systems it tries to first terminate (read: quit gently), then if you insist it kills stuff (read: blow out every change and can cause permanent corruption).
23:51 numzero ^yet another Windows user?
23:52 numzero Sven_vB: not any I know about
23:54 daiNoZord I just discovered oblige - so wine is a thing again
23:55 adfeno2 joined #minetest
23:56 numzero adfeno: um, sorry for Windows mention, need to read more carefully (yet my particular system doesn’t understand Alt+F4 at all but it is quite unusual)
23:56 numzero on Lua and multithreading, there are indeed modules allowing that but with serious limitations
23:56 adfeno2 there is also another keyboard shortcut to open the title bar's menu, with which you can use arrow keys and enter to close.
23:57 numzero like, a table can never be shared between threads; but message passing is possible
23:58 numzero found it, it’s called Lua Lanes: https://lualanes.github.io/lanes/
23:58 adfeno2 sorry numzero, lost connection since I can only connect using phone carrier now. Why on Earth IRC aren't you compatible with your brother XMPP? :S
