Applications / Re: gImageReader - qt5 OCR application
« on: October 29, 2020, 09:26:38 am »
Hi Eduardo,

You have left unanswered Neil's comment about dictionaries. In the URL you mention, all the languages use files with the same names. You cannot copy them together to the hunspell folder. And then, how are them installed? The readme says using npm, but npm is not available in OS2.

How would I add a dictionary?
And what are the dictionaries for? I have read documents in English, French and Spanish quite well, with no dictionaries installed.


If I haven't answered, it's because I don't know. I compiled this software after a discussion on OCR in a mailing list. I have no real need for it myself. In terms of the dictionary, I assume after the OCR, if a dictionary is installed,  it will spell check to improve the accuracy.

Cheers,

Paul

OK, so I fixed some logging code....

Firstly, there was a pretty major code re-structuring in relation to the sound code between 4.0 and 4.1. Some of the added api calls I simply stubbed as I didn't think they were important, some I implemented.

What I believe is happening is that whilst the HDA chipset is being recognised, I don't think the code to support the mixers is being loaded at all. I see no logging from (for example) patch_sigmatel.c

What I need to do is step through the code and determine where the hda_intel/hda_codec code is supposed to call the code for the mixer, then work out why it isn't being loaded. I suspect this will come back to some code I stubbed that needs to be at least partially implemented - I just don't want to waste time implementing the wrong code...

No timeframes on updates, I have a busy week coming up...

OK I think I figured out that I need to implement driver_register() that than stubbing it. I got what I think is enough implemented, and got it compiling, however, for my efforts I'm rewarded with a Trap.

I'll try debug that tomorrow.

Cheers,

Paul

New version no trap, no sound and no PMmixer connect.

Thanks guys - I need to think about how best to proceed. At this stage, I think it's best to resurrect the logging that was broken around kernel 4.0 timeframe - I'm hoping that will elicit some clues as to why the mixer isn't being detected.

I'll post here when I have some news.

Hi Ian,

No problems here but thought I would still let you know that all of your latest builds still work well with:

Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: Live
  driver: EMU10K1
  name: SB Live! 5.1
  longname: SB Live! 5.1 (rev.7, serial:0x80641102) at 0xd880, irq 22
  mixer: eMicro EM28028
  componenets: AC97a:454d4328

including uniaud32-linux-4.9.240-20201024.zip

Thanks :)

Thanks for confirming things work on non-HDA hardware :)

Cheers,

Paul

Hi All,

Tried this one, no sound and PMUniMix gives a ctls error number of $0000000. I posted my Intel HDA info earlier in the thread.
Thanks for the work.
Thanks Dave - this will be the mixer not being detected.... weird how it works for Dave... the positive is that 4.9.x behaves the same as 4.4.x for me at least, so the fix will likely be similar. Patches also applied pretty cleanly to 4.14.x, so will try get that compiling then work on fixes...

http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-4.14.202-20201024.zip is based on the linux 4.14.x kernel - again - no hda mixer detection here in Virtualbox.

Cheers,

Paul

4.9.240: http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-4.9.240-20201024.zip

Here on Sigmatel hardware (virtualbox), and on a Thinkpad X250 (Realtek HW), I get no sound and output similar to:
Command line mixer for UNIAUD32. Version 1.1
Detected UNIAUD version 2.02.05
Detected 1 audio adapter(s)
Error: invalid number of PCM instances for adapter 0
Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: Intel
  driver: HDA-Intel
  name: HDA Intel
  longname: HDA Intel at 0xf0804000 irq 11
  mixer:
  componenets: HDA:83847680,83847680,00103401

YMMV... It's  interesting that Dave get's his mixer identified... I might need more logging...

I'll try and fix Sigmatel support so I can test in Virtualbox, but otherwise, I'll probably push on to newer kernel versions over the weekend.

I didn't look at Sigmatel, but pushed on. 4.4.238 patches applied pretty cleanly to 4.9.240 - we'll see how hard it is to make it compile/link...

Hi Sigurd,

the hardware I am using is far to new for the driver, I guess. So I did not expect it to work.

Even though I attach my results, may be I can be of help in a future release.

The hardware is a lenovo Thinkpad T480 with Intel core i7-8550 CPU.

Your driver loads and boots but can not detect the mixer. I guess this is what you would expect with this hardware.

If I can be of any help, please let me know.

Thanks for your great work!!

From some googling, seems the T480 has the ALC285 chip. According to https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Realtek-ALC-215-285-289 support was added in the linux 4.13 kernel.

I'll try and fix Sigmatel support so I can test in Virtualbox, but otherwise, I'll probably push on to newer kernel versions over the weekend.

Cheers,

Paul.

No trap here but no sound. Unimix gives me the same exact output as David.

Mixer settings may have changed - try pmunimix and make sure all outputs are turned up.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Dave,

Seems to work OK here:

[C:\]unimix -card
Command line mixer for UNIAUD32. Version 1.1
Detected UNIAUD version 2.02.05
Detected 1 audio adapter(s)
Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: PCH
  driver: HDA-Intel
  name: HDA Intel PCH
  longname: HDA Intel PCH at 0xef320000 irq 16
  mixer: Realtek ALC887-VD
  componenets: HDA:10ec0887,1458a182,00100302 HDA:8086280b,80860101,00100000

 I'll keep using it and let you know if anything comes up... thanks!


Wow! That's encouraging! Maybe my issue is some idiosyncracy with Sigmatel hardware. I'll dust off the Thinkpad tonight or over the weekend and test locally with real hardware.

Are you able to upload a copy of alsahlp$ after a fresh boot?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi All,

http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-4.4.238-20201022.zip

Trap should be fixed - but here at least - no mixer is detected. I still need to investigate this - but curious if it's a Sigmatel issue, or a broader issue.

unimix -card here reports:
Command line mixer for UNIAUD32. Version 1.1
Detected UNIAUD version 2.02.05
Detected 1 audio adapter(s)
Error: invalid number of PCM instances for adapter 0
Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: Intel
  driver: HDA-Intel
  name: HDA Intel
  longname: HDA Intel at 0xf0804000 irq 11
  mixer:
  componenets: HDA:83847680,83847680,00103401


Cheers,

It reports HDA Intel PCH.

Yep - so the trap is known... I'll post when/if I have HDA hardware working....

With some help from Steven Levine, I found the problem with the initial trap, and came across a second trap. I understand where the code is trapping, I just need to work out how to fixit. Hopefully that will be the last issue before I get a booting system again :)
