PixInsight Benchmark Report SQL Problem

[Conor]

It appears that the reporting fails if the system specs don't report properly. I've trimmed the console output for pertinent data.

As you can see, the number of logical processors and RAM don't report properly. They should be 12 and 16 respectively.
Running PixInsight 1.08.01.1092 on FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE.

Also, the script doesn't appear in the menu on FreeBSD. It's installed, and you can navigate to it and execute it manually, however.

On FreeBSD, the benchmark script depends on the sysctl command to gather these items:

sysctl hw.ncpu
sysctl hw.physmem

If you run these commands, what is the output?

[Conor]

Hi Juan

Thank you for the speedy response; Are the sysctl commands prefixed with /sbin? I know PC-BSD creates symlinks to make things more like Linux.

[conor@monolith] ~
$ /sbin/sysctl hw.ncpu
hw.ncpu: 12
[conor@monolith] ~
$ /sbin/sysctl hw.physmem
hw.physmem: 17127673856

[Juan Conejero]

Oops! Sorry, I forgot this (yes, PC-BSD creates these symlinks...). I'll release a new version of the script this afternoon with this bug fixed. In the meanwhile, you can perform the benchmark if you create the symlinks.

The other problem that you have reported does not happen on my PC-BSD machine. There should be no differences in this case, so I don't know why this happened to you. Anyway, you can select SCRIPT > Feature Scripts and then click Add to add the script to the main menu.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Conor]

It's no convenience at all. It was moreso out of curiosity as to where this machine weighs in with other users' machines.

There's no rush on the fix, and I can manually add that script.

Thanks again.
