Peek: convert fails due to resource limits

Created on 19 Mar 2017  ·  36Comments  ·  Source: phw/peek

Hi,

I'm on Debian with version below. Imagemagick failed :( any ideas?

imagemagick:

peek:

I think I've found the issue or at least a workaround. On my system /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml contains:

<policy domain="resource" name="disk" value="1GiB"/>

If I change that to 10GiB then (so far) it seems to work again. I'm using the master branch built from source currently. However, Peek spends a _very_ long time (minutes) in "Rendering..." so I wonder whether imagemagick's disk cache size limit is what changed, or whether that limit was always 1GB and something else changed that causes Peek to take a lot longer to render and create a much larger cache file.

This looks like you have not enough space available on /tmp. Either you are low on disk space or /tmp is a RAM disk with insufficient space for the temp files convert created.

In current master I have already fixed setting the temp folder for convert, it will now use $HOME/.cache/peek . So if possible please try the latest git revision of Peek and see if this fixes your issue. Alternatively try setting the environment variable MAGICK_TMPDIR to a directory with enough disk space and see if this helps.

I'm still getting this issue with the $HOME/.cache/peek path.

Please check your disc space on $HOME

phw picture phw on 3 Apr 2017

Disk space should not be an issue, I have 74GB free.
I was able to get a gif recording by turning the resolution downsampling up.

This is on Ubuntu 17.04 Beta.

Same problem on ubuntu 17.04 stable, but uninstalling & installing Peek nightly from the nightly PPA seemed to have fixed it. [ETA: a few minutes later the problem came back. Upon some testing it looks like recordings of a few seconds work fine,but anything longer throws errors below]

details:
20 GB of Ram and 27 GB of space available on /home partition.

I just installed 17.04 yesterday in a clean install, but prior to that, Peek worked fine in 16.10.
Not sure if graphics drivers matter here, but I'm on a GTX 960 so I tried both nouveau & nvidia drivers, same outcome (i think both output are the same, but included them anyway just in case).

here's the error output with Nouveau drivers:

21:12:07:bmp:~ peek

and here's the output after switching to Nvidia drivers 375.39:

Good catch, I don't have this limit set. It all comes down that convert uses a huge amount of resources when converting frames to an animated GIF with the -optimize flag. I need a solution of this because this is the root cause for the majority of bug reports I receive.

Can you guys post the output of convert -list resource. This gives me an idea with which resource restrictions we are dealing here. For me this is:

(This is after I edited the imagemagick config file from 1gb to 10gb)

seanh picture seanh on 24 Apr 2017

Memory: 256MiB

This explains why the 1GB disk cache is not sufficient. Maybe the solution for now is to overwrite those values when launching convert. But this needs some testing with which limits peek can get away with.

phw picture phw on 24 Apr 2017

with Stretch (debian9), in /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml, I have too:

<policy domain="resource" name="disk" value="1GiB"/>

but it's for:

Any large image is cached to disk rather than memory

I am on Ubuntu MATE:

Frequently, Peek fails to write the actual result to the file saying it is a caching issue. Short recordings normally work fine. Long ones fail all the time.

orschiro picture orschiro on 23 May 2017

I have the same issue: On small/short recordings, everything works fine, but with larger animations, it spends 2-5 seconds in "Rendering", then the file does not show up. I the same resource limits for convert on Debian Stretch.

@dustinmoorenet what was the exact workaround for you? Did you change the value 1GiB to something else?

orschiro picture orschiro on 13 Jun 2017

yes, 10GiB. I didn't check to see if I could set it lower at like 5GiB.

Had the same issue, I can confirm that modifying the setting to 10gb works for me too. Previously it failed silently.

morsok picture morsok on 26 Jul 2017

Indeed, I had been bitten by this and had to use other tools for longer gifs, but I do prefer using Peek. It would be useful for peek at least to watch for any failures from convert and send users towards this report, as silently failing is very confusing (and frustrating).

Nevertheless, thanks for all your hard work on peek :D :+1:

ivoanjo picture ivoanjo on 27 Jul 2017

Hi, I confirm, editing /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml and set Disk to 10G work for me ;)

Same here, that's the workaround! @phw This should be mentioned in the README.md to be present on the landing page.

Adding <policy domain="resource" name="disk" value="10GiB"/> didn't help me. Ubuntu 16.04
So peek is totally useless now

Jokero picture Jokero on 25 Sep 2017

Did you add that string or modify that policy?

miili picture miili on 26 Sep 2017

I added it to /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml. Maybe there is some difference between version for debian and ubuntu, because I didn't have initially this line with 1GiB:

<policy domain="resource" name="disk" value="1GiB"/>
Jokero picture Jokero on 26 Sep 2017

@Jokero The disk limit is not the only resource limit. Maybe more important is the memory limit. Please run convert -list resource to see the current limits on your system. Some examples show that the memory limit is set to 256 MB in many cases, try something higher instead like:

<policy domain="resource" name="memory" value="2GiB"/>
phw picture phw on 26 Sep 2017

I have added explicit resource limits to the call of convert. Disk usage is unlimited, and memory usage is limited to 90% of available memory at the time of invoking convert.

Would be great if somebody could test this with the current master revision.

@phw

The disk limit is not the only resource limit. Maybe more important is the memory limit. Please run convert -list resource to see the current limits on your system. Some examples show that the memory limit is set to 256 MB in many cases

$ convert -list resource

@Jokero with these limits that shouldn't be the problem. Maybe your's is a different issue. Can you post the output of Peek when run from the command line?

phw picture phw on 26 Sep 2017

It happens only when I try to record long video https://gist.github.com/Jokero/a06324c081ebd15973047e0b2b0b7b7f

Jokero picture Jokero on 26 Sep 2017

@Jokero This shows that the process was killed by the OS, probably took too much RAM. I gues you have no or only little swap space? Did you test the latest development version?

In general for what you are doing you shouldn't be using the GIF format anyway. Even if it finishes rendering the GIF, nearly 1 minute recording of 1466x987 will easily end up in file of several hundred MBs in size. Not sure how this is useful. Change the output format to WebM or MP4 in the settings.

Peek's GIF recording is really meant to capture short snippets of parts of your screen.

I close this issue now as I think the 1.1.0 release manages the RAM usage well enough. It can't do magic though, ImageMagick just works as it works and the GIF format is in the end just not optimized for this kind of usage anyway.

@phw Development version works the same. But I totally agree with you that gif is not suited for long videos :+1:

Jokero picture Jokero on 11 Oct 2017

Everybody still affected by this might want to read https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/125#issuecomment-336094122 and try the latest git revision. I made some attempts to use ffmpeg directly instead of ImageMagick and this looks promising so far.
