Help us test Nubits v2.1.0

[masterOfDisaster]

That branch doesn’t seem to be updated for some time… That’s why I was asking.

[CoinGame]

The changes I mentioned were added a while ago but new builds haven’t been produced till today.

[masterOfDisaster]

Ah, got it!
That leaves the question for the version of LevelDB open.

[sigmike]

I just pushed the changes to the 2.1.0-RC branch (I pushed the tag but forgot to push the branch).

LevelDB is included in the source tree, so it’s not a new dependency.

[masterOfDisaster]

That means if you compile the Nu wallet, the included LevelDB code is used?

[Sentinelrv]

@CoinGame, are you speaking of when the client hangs for a little bit and says not responding when switching between the NuBits and NuShares screens, or is there more to it than that? This at least would happen to me when I was still using Windows.

[sigmike]

if you compile the Nu wallet, the included LevelDB code is used?

Yes.

[masterOfDisaster]

Great! That will prevent a lot of BD related problems. Thank you!

[CoinGame]

While the client is syncing it will usually hang for a few moments when switching units. When it’s fully synced it shouldn’t be as bad. That is expected and not the current issue.

This issue that I and few other have reported is the client hanging for upwards up 30 seconds (meaning the user interface freezes and is unusable). During this time memory usage of the client will usually jump to around 1GB, then sharply return to around 400Mb when the client becomes usable again. The trigger event appears to be when the client is not the currently focused application for a period of time. This has been mostly a Windows issue, but i’d like to hear others experiences from using the Linux build as well.

[Cybnate]

Just installed Nu 2.1 RC7 binary as published on my Ubuntu 15.04 desktop instance to monitor LiquidBits payments. Will do some testing every now and then and report when encountering ‘hangs’ or other bugs.
It took more than a few minutes to convert a synchronised database with 2.1, one will need to be patient.

[Cybnate]

Upgrade of the database apparently failed. I couldn’t get Nu start, it was just stuck on the splash screen showing ‘Done’. Had to delete the blk*.dat files and sync again from start. Will try again later with another instance. Is there anyone been able to have a smooth conversion of a fully synchronised chain?

[CoinGame]

Did you check the debug file before you scrapped everything? That’s kind of a big deal. It would be great to know why it failed.

[Cybnate]

I have a 92Mb debug.log but I can’t find anything unusual other than many block cleanup messages. Or maybe that is already the debug.log from the new sync? Hmm… Ok, useless, Trying again…

[Cybnate]

Right, converting another wallet also on Linux-64-bit. Splash screen is showing ‘Done loading’ and frozen. Same problem.

Logs show this:

[CoinGame]

does it just lock up again when you kill the process and restart?

[Cybnate]

Just tried, killed the process and restarted and seeing same behaviour in GUI, frozen splash screen with ‘Done loading’ and similar entries in debug.log.

[CoinGame]

I wonder if it’s an Ubuntu 15 issue. I’ve done all my testing on 14 without issue. I don’t know if i’ll be able to spin up at 15 anytime soon though.

[Cybnate]

Could be, I also don’t have another Linux instance at hand. The workaround, re downloading the blockchain on the same machine at the same time but in another folder appears to work even with killing and restarting it while synchronising. So it may just not like the conversion part.

[CoinGame]

Alright. In the mean time I’m going to try some more conversions on my linux VM’s to see if I can get it to break. Interested to hear if anyone else has these results on Linux.

[sigmike]

@Cybnate try removing the peers.dat file.
