DCS Crash with 3.01-R10 / DWC 2.1.5 / DSF 2.1.1

I have managed a small print without any failures.
So far so good.

In fact, if anyone else is working on one, I'll stop.

gave up on recursion seems all reprapfirmware from 1.0.4.1-1 to 1.2.5.0-1 has a dependency to duetcontrolserver 1.0.3.4 which doesn't exist (which probably means or greater but )

Danal

Data point: I have not changed the CPU scheduling and an approximate 18 hour print just finished.

Running DuetLapse on the same Pi. (Which I was not doing the other day).

I will try to reproduce, document variances, run without anything else running, etc.

@Danal I wonder if DuetLapse is using just enough time to keep the DCS from hogging it all.

@Garfield @ChrisP Have you tried my suggestion above to remove the two CPUScheduling lines from /lib/systemd/system/duetcontrolserver.service and rebooting?

I haven't yet, but only because I've not had chance (5 and a half hour Teams meeting today - these really are "special" times). I'll give it a go now.

Do you think the priority is like to have any effect on the cause of the crash though? Certainly if DCS does go nuts and it has a high priority, this will result in the total lock-ups that we're seeing, but is it going to be part of the in initial cause? I guess perhaps if DCS is waiting for something that can get CPU time because it's being blocked by DCS.... but if this were the case, I'd have thought it'd recover at some point?

To be honest, this doesn't entirely surprise me - I've managed to do a couple of decent length prints without issue... indeed, I've never had it crash mid-print. If my system is going to die, it usually does it pretty much immediately on startup and I think it's happened twice when I've opened a new DWC instance, but' I'm not confident to say that that is anything more than coincidence at the moment. My experience has mainly been that if it boots and doesn't crap out in the first few minutes then it'll just keep going.

The one thing that I have noticed that may or may not be related is that I've been noticing that on the DWC instance that running on the Pi, the left hand menu bar frequently becomes totally unresponsive, even after a Ctrl-F5 of the page. DWC otherwise seems to be working as I can see temperature fluctuations and print status progressing but the only way I've found to get the menu bar to respond is to reset DCS.

Anyway, I'll try removing the CPUScheduling since I have no better ideas currently.

gtj0

@ChrisP I don't think it's the cause of the crashes themselves but I do think that removing the real-time scheduling (fifo) will make it a LOT easier to troubleshoot further.

I believe that fits the behaviors I saw on Sunday evening. I wasn't really "logging", not even mentally, so I am not absolutely certain.

....................... but right now the learning curve is pretty steep and what I think should be simple tasks seem not to be - and I do this **** for a living !!

My God, what chance do us mere mortals have! As far as I'm concerned, you guys are all talking in some foreign language that I don't understand. I'll be sticking with stand alone operation for quite some time yet methinks.

Best not to tour the sausage factory before the wiener roast.

Garfield

Just did the scheduling thing - no change, I increased the timeout also but no difference.

I don't mind helping out here but I need some direction from the devs on what to look for - and where to look for it. So if it will be useful I will help work through this - otherwise I really need this printer back in service ....

I now have DCS up and running - this is something in config.g that it doesn't like and is bombing out. I looked at line 182 in updater.cs and it is immediately after it parses the fans. I have one fan defined as an output to enable a relay for lighting, this fan is not associated with anything - nor will it ever be - needed an on off output I could fire at will and this fitted the bill, I wonder if this is the trigger for the failure - it can't associate it with anything ???

Q : Is it possible to add an 'output' type that is neither a heater nor a fan to RRF3

I have almost my entire config.g commented out and will enable stuff line by line until it breaks again ..

My system.g is below

config.g

After uncommenting a line the reset takes an eternity, it works but it is a cause for concern - way too slow resetting

look at M42

Garfield

So here is a 'partial' result.

DCS does not fail gracefully if it encounters something in .g files that it can't parse for whatever reason - it crashes and doesn't recover.

Sorry boys - needs to be a whole lot more friendly than this, errors should be reported and ignored, error trapping needs work.

Loss of DCS should not prevent the web server functioning - or how can you fix whatever the problem is. The web portal should report the loss of DCS, should report problems encountered parsing .g files - including the line concerned but should remain accessible to allow .g file edits / fixes. If you need DCS to make the edits then sort out the error trapping but might want to review the architecture in that case.

My config-override.g is currently empty .... this too blows DCS up ...

@Garfield Wow. There is somehting going on in your environment. I can't reproduce either the M950 or config-override.g issues.

Probably a good idea to just go back to a "stable" build and wait for things to shake out a bit more. Thanks for trying anyway.

Garfield

@gtj0 I wish I knew how to just get back to a base I can trust at this stage, was fine at RC6 but it seems that even that is busted now on my box.

I've firmware erased and tried all manner of 'stuff' now, if I comment out certain lines in config.g things keep running ...

Going to blow this back to the stable release but it has problems that I couldn't live with (some of which centred on the PINDA), I also had homing issues - hence I was into the RC's - seems like something is buried in there that erase and re-imaging isn't clearing ...

gtj0

@Garfield Yeah it's frustrating I know. You may want to create an issue in the DSF GitHub repo with that crash anyway. If not, would you mind if I opened an issue on your behalf?

Garfield

Absolutely no issue at all with you adding - I suppose I should create a GIT account .... even then though I need to be sure my own incompetence isn't the cause before logging anything - so I'll still run it by here.

gtj0

@Garfield https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetSoftwareFramework/issues/128

It looks like that crash is in filament monitor code. With your config.g, maybe I can reproduce it later today.
