388. NWChem, PSPW and Fortran runtime error

I'm following this post: http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/nwchem/nwchem-support/2012/12/0024.Re:_NWCHEM_errors_in_running_nwchem-6.1.

The issue:
If, on debian testing/wheezy 64 bit with gcc 4.7,  you run the following using NWChem 6.1.1

Title "boric acid" Start boric echo charge 0 geometry autosym units angstrom B 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 O -4.93432e-17 1.55000 0.00000 H 1.06537 1.92667 0.00000 O 1.34234 -0.775000 0.00000 H 1.13586 -1.88597 0.00000 O -1.34234 -0.775000 0.00000 H -2.20123 -0.0406974 0.00000 end ecce_print ecce.out nwpw mult 1 xc pbe96 cutoff 90.0 np_dimensions -1 -1 tolerances 1e-7 1e-7 car-parrinello nose-hoover 1.000000e+03 2.981500e+02 1.000000e+03 2.981500e+02 time_step 0.500000e+00 fake_mass 1.000000e+02 loop 10 100 scaling 1.000000e+00 1.000000e+00 end end task pspw energy task pspw car-parrinello

The fix
/opt/nwchem/nwchem-6.1.1-src is the NWCHEM_TOP of my particular nwchem source. See e.g. here for build instructions in general and not that e.g. BLASOPT settings etc. correspond to what I need on my system. Modify as necessary.

cd /opt/nwchem/nwchem-6.1.1-src/
wget http://www.nwchem-sw.org/images/Makefile.h.gcc46.patch.gz
gunzip Makefile.h.gcc46.patch.gz
patch -p0 < Makefile.h.gcc46.patch
cd src/nwpw/
touch `egrep -l GCC46 */*/*F`

export FC=gfortran
make 
cd ../
make link
./getmem.nwchem

Because we just relink instead of recompiling from scratch, recompiling is fairly quick (2-3 minutes in total)

Testing

It now continues as it should:
================ input data ======================== library name resolved from: compiled reference NWCHEM_NWPW_LIBRARY set to: Generating 1d pseudopotential for B

and everything is good from there-on.


NOTE: you need to delete the output files from any previous run, or you might end up with errors during the Car-Parrinello portion (e.g.
At line 170 of file MOTION.F (unit = 19, file = './boric.ion_motion')
Fortran runtime error: Sequential READ or WRITE not allowed after EOF marker, possibly use REWIND or BACKSPACE
)



Stay tuned...
What remains for me is to start collecting the patches that are needed for nwchem to work properly (from my perspective -- I only have to support myself and my debian boxes, not a heterogeneous set of users with equally heterogeneous hardware, so my job is easier than that of the nwchem devs) so that installing and upgrading nwchem becomes less painful (yes, I've been patching by hand up till now...).

The issues that need to be patched are:
* including libz and libssl on debian when building with python support (e.g. step 1 in this post)
* changing the details in the output to support gabEdit (e.g. this post)
* patching for GCC 4.7 (i.e. what you've just read)

387. Compiling Wine 1.5.28 in a i386 chroot on Debian Wheezy amd64

UPDATE 16 May 2013: See here for Wine 1.5.30: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/416-wine-1530-in-chroot.html

UPDATE: for those who don't want to compile and are willing to take a minor risk* there are pre-built debs for mepis here: http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/pool/test/w/wine/
They are provided by Steve Pusser, who is an active member at the debian forums.

* I presume, but don't actually know, that they are compatible with debian due to 1) Steve being active on the debian forums and 2) Mepis being based on debian stable (currently Squeeze)

Original post

New version of wine out now: 1.5.28.

Not much to get excited about from what I can tell, but wine now relies on GnuTLS instead of openssl.

Here's how to build it -- a lot of it is shamelessly recycled from earlier posts on this blog.

Getting started:
If you set up a chroot to build 1.5.27 before, you don't need to set up a new chroot to build 1.5.28. In that case, skip the set-up step below and instead re-enter your existing chroot like this:
sudo mount -o bind /proc wine32/proc
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf wine32/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot wine32
su sandbox

Setting up the Chroot
mkdir $HOME/tmp/architectures/wine32
cd $HOME/tmp/architectures
sudo debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy $HOME/tmp/architectures/wine32 http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/
sudo mount -o bind /proc wine32/proc
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf wine32/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot wine32

You're now in the chroot:
apt-get update
apt-get install locales sudo vim
echo 'export LC_ALL="C"'>>/etc/bash.bashrc
echo 'export LANG="C"'>>/etc/bash.bashrc
echo '127.0.0.1 localhost beryllium' >> /etc/hosts
source /etc/bash.bashrc
adduser sandbox
usermod -g sudo sandbox
echo 'Defaults !tty_tickets' >> /etc/sudoers
su sandbox
cd ~/

Building Wine
While still in the chroot, continue (the i386 is ok; don't worry about it -- you don't actually need it):

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libxcursor-dev:i386 libxi-dev:i386 libxxf86vm-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev:i386 libxinerama-dev:i386 libxcomposite-dev:i386 libglu-dev:i386 libosmesa-dev:i386 libglu-dev:i386 libosmesa-dev:i386 libdbus-1-dev:i386 libgnutls-dev:i386 libncurses-dev:i386 libsane-dev:i386 libv4l-dev:i386 libgphoto2-2-dev:i386 liblcms-dev:i386 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev:i386 libcapi20-dev:i386 libcups2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libgsm1-dev:i386 libtiff-dev:i386 libpng-dev:i386 libjpeg-dev:i386 libmpg123-dev:i386 libopenal-dev:i386 libldap-dev:i386 libxrender-dev:i386 libxml2-dev:i386 libxslt-dev:i386 libhal-dev:i386 gettext:i386 prelink:i386 bzip2:i386 bison:i386 flex:i386 oss4-dev:i386 checkinstall:i386 ocl-icd-libopencl1:i386 opencl-headers:i386 libasound2-dev:i386 build-essential

Compilation took ca 19 minutes. Checkinstall takes a little while (In particular this step: 'Copying files to the temporary directory...').

Installing Wine
Exit the chroot
sandbox@beryllium:~/tmp/wine-1.5.28$ exit
exit
root@beryllium:/# exit
exit
me@beryllium:~/tmp/architectures$ 

On your host system
Enable multiarch and install ia32-libs, since you've built a proper 32 bit binary:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Copy the .deb package and install it
sudo cp wine32/home/sandbox/tmp/wine-1.5.28/wine_1.5.28-1_i386.deb .
sudo chown $USER wine_1.5.28-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wine_1.5.28-1_i386.deb

386. Briefly: Lenovo Thinkpad SL410 mute volume key

I'm a bit tired of the mute button on my keyboard not working (anymore?) on Debian Testing/Wheezy, so it was time to have a look at what could be done.

The issue
On an SL410 there are four buttons to the left of the keyboard: mute mic, volume up, volume down and mute.

Neither of them show up when using xev or showkey. The Volume Up and Down keys work, but not the mute mic or mute volume ones.

You can get the keycodes by monitoring dmesg -- pushing Mute volume three times I get
[ 2392.912282] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1439000
[ 2393.447050] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1439000
[ 2393.930206] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x1439000

The problem is that the keycode keeps changing -- the mute key has a different value depending on what the volume is.
mute mic    ?????
vol up/down 0x1439080,0x339080,00,09,13,1b,21,25,29,2d,30,33
mut vol     0x1439000, 339029

Anyway.

Solution

You'll probably find that thinkpad_acpi is loaded:
lsmod|grep thinkpad_acpi

Unload it:
sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi

Now press the mute button -- did an orange light show under it? That means it's working.

I think the issue is that SL410 isn't a true thinkpad -- it's really an ideapad and the firmware doesn't match.

To make the change permanent,
edit /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad-blacklist.conf
blacklist thinkpad_acpi

thinkpad_acpi shouldn't load on boot anymore.

Mute mic still doesn't work.
