<Pellescours>by adding a printf(" "); just before the existing printf (that runs in the thread), I’m able to make the prints correctly outputes (all lines are here), but if my print I add is instead `printf("`c\n`, byte);` the output is incomplete
<Pellescours>I don’t understand where is the bug, but It’s somewhat related to the thread, and the printf (or at least the printf helps to trigger the bug)
<Pellescours>youpi: I think there is a problem with the fflush in threads, moving the fflush in threads fixed the output of the test
<Pellescours>ah maybe not, I re-ran it and this time it failed
<youpi>Pellescours: fflush etc. are shared with linux on glibc, it's little probable that it's bugged
<Pellescours>what is weird with this git test, is that If I comment the step "slow response" (two steps before my current), then this step "multiple" succeed
<Pellescours>I don’t know if it’s timing related, context switches, threading or something else
<nexussfan>"defined(__gnu_hurd__)" wait, __gnu_hurd__ is a thing?
<youpi>Pellescours: anything related with threads will be timing-related
<youpi>nexussfan: it is, though it's not what we usually recommend
<youpi>but it's always hard to prevent cargo-cult
<Pellescours>It’s very consistent, one test is triggering it (slow response), but if I comment it and dupplicate "chunk" at least twice, I get the same result of output incomplete. I even added a dupplicate of this test (multiple) at the beginning, and it always suceed
<Pellescours>The case where output is incomplete depends of which test was ran before, but it’s easy to trigger (even if the output is not consistent between two runs)
<alexshendi>Hi, I've successfully dd-ed the 2025-11 Netinst ISO to an USB pen drive and booted from it. The installer complains about not finding the CDROM. I thought that I could mount the pen drive under /media/cdrom, but I don't seem to be able to do it.
<alexshendi>Things I've tried:
<alexshendi>mount -t iso9660 /dev/{sd0,ud0} /media/cdrom
<alexshendi>settrans -c /media/cdrom -a /hurd/iso9660fs /dev/sd0
<alexshendi>psydroid: Used the amd64 version.
<alexshendi>*PS:
<azeem>youpi: actually, is there an easy way to get -dbgsym when you're pinned to the Debian 2025 release via snapshot.debian.org?
<youpi>azeem: the -dbgsym packages are in the same repo,yes
<azeem>youpi: oh ok - I misparsed https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols
