Eliot,<br>
<br>
I thought I'd take a stab at setting up a CI job for Spur VM+Image,<br>
and after futzing around with filenames, got an actual execution of<br>
the VM. And then things broke. The full output's here:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunkOnSpur/6/console"
target="_blank">http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunkOnSpur/6/console</a><br>
<br>
but the error itself is this:<br>
<br>
pthread_setschedparam failed; consider using ITIMER_HEARTBEAT:<br>
Operation not permitted<br>
<br>
and the process exited with status 22.<br>
<br>
Is this a simple thing to fix? Any idea what hoops I need to jump<br>
through to work around the problem?</blockquote>

<div>So this is always described in the README on my website, see
e.g. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3006/README.3006">http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3006/README.3006</a>.
I *could* put checks in the VM that saw if the kernel was >- 2.6.13
and whether /etc/security/limits.d/VM.conf existed and issue a more
helpful error message. But this is work and I feel like the README
should be sufficient. What do y'all think?</div>

I won't comment on the need or not, but if you do something, the
general philosphy is to code for behaviour rather than particular
versions of something. I guess you know that already :) and there are
constraints on that. (and I'm just thinking out loud.)<br>
