[squeak-dev] Image not startable after save

Sat Jun 6 14:08:53 UTC 2020

Hi all,

exactly the same issue here. Using SqueakConsole.exe (Windows) gave me the following stack trace:

Aborting!!!!
Color depth 0 not supported

Smalltalk stack dump:
          0xa75640 I DisplayScreen>forceToScreen: 0x26cb5ef0: a(n) DisplayScreen

        0x3ceb3ae0 s [] in FullBlockClosure(BlockClosure)>newProcess

So it looks as if the whole startup machinery missed to set a display screen depth.

Interestingly, a second image updated which I use for the sole purpose of installing the latest updates, currently on #19705, is not affected and can be restarted.

Any idea of how to rescue our images? I saved mine dozens of times since I restarted the VM the last time after installing the latest Trunk updates. The error only occurs after restarting your VM.

At all folks, better don't shutdown your image until this has been fixed or it will never awake again! 😓

Best,

Christoph

... maybe Form >> #hibernate (via Form class >> #shutDown) is interfering with "depth" in some situations on some platforms? In any case, it does not seem a good idea to #hibernate the DisplayForm ... because #unhibernate is an in-image mechanism, while the "bits" of the DisplayForm are known to the VM (plugins) after #beDisplay.

Hi, there.

Hmm... I think that the position of Project in the StartUpList and ShutDownList is unrelated to this issue. I think I just removed a duplication via Graphics-mt.432.

Looking at Display >> #restore, the bug Jakob mentioned could be related to an issue with "depth" being "0" in the Display object. Not sure how this can happen in any image unless maybe some class-recompilation hickup? But then "nil" would be more likely a reset value than "0" ....

Anyway, since "AutoStart" is before "Project" in the start-up list, you can start the VM + image + startup script to then reset "depth" in "Display" to "32". :-)

Display newDepth: 32

Best,
Marcel

I haven't tried to reproduce it yet, but I think the cause of the problem
is that Project - where the new start up code is - is the 41st on the
StartUpList, while DisplayScreen was the 4th.
It is possible that objects between those two indexes assume that the
Display had been set up correctly when their #startUp: method is sent.

Also, I just went through the StartUpList and I found that it includes
classes which do not override #startUp or #startUp:, so their existence on
the list is questionable.

There are also plenty of classes which implement #startUp instead of
#startUp:, which is a problem because #startUp should be deprecated and
removed.

Very likely there are similar issues with the ShutDownList.
