Something weird happens in piCore64 (aarch64)

[mortegai]

When trying to access (e.g. to open a file) to the /tmp/tcloop directory with any application (firefox, leafpad, ...)  the error occurs:

Code: [Select]

Could not read the contents of tcloop.
Error when getting information for file "xxxxxxx". Numerical result out of range.This does not happen in piCore (armv7)

[Juanito]

Hmm - I'm able to open a file under /tmp/tcloop with beaver and emelfm, but not firefox..

[mortegai]

beaver and emelfm are gtk1.
leafpad and firefox are gtk2/gtk3 applications.
...?

[Juanito]

..and the same problem occurs with firefox in wayland/weston.

Hi Juanito
There recently was some talk about a very large block size being used by squashfs tools instead of 4096. Maybe related?
If I remember correctly, it only affected aarch64.

Hi Juanito

beaver and emelfm are gtk1.
leafpad and firefox are gtk2/gtk3 applications.

GTK1 uses glib1, GTK2 and 3 use glib2. I found this for glib 2.65.2 which is what aarch64 uses:

Hi mortegai

...

Code: [Select]

Could not read the contents of tcloop.
Error when getting information for file "xxxxxxx". Numerical result out of range. ...

Is that the exact error message? When I say exact, I mean word for word, punctuation, uppercase/lowercase, etc.

[mortegai]

Yes, that is the exact message. Juanito can confirm it.
The xxxxxxx varies in different boots.

Hi mortegai
OK, so the  "xxxxxxx "  is just a file name?

[mortegai]

That's !
e.g.: /tmp/tcloop/graphics-5.4.51-piCore-v8

[Juanito]

glib-2.66.2 fixes it - I'll upload shortly.

[Juanito]

uploaded - well spotted Rich

Hi Juanito

... well spotted Rich

Thanks. I did the easy part, you had to fix it.

[mortegai]

Confirmed, now it works properly. 
Thank you very much to both.
