PassMark (TM) Software's BurnInTest for Linux Copyright (C) 2020 PassMark Software All Rights Reserved http://www.passmark.com Overview ======== Passmark's BurnInTest for Linux is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously tested for reliability and stability. <For more details see PDF format help file> Status ====== This is a shareware program. This means that you need to buy it if you would like to continue using it after the evaluation period. What's in the "burnintest" folder? ==================================== 1. BITErrorClassification.txt (see documentation how to customize your errors). 2. help folder (html based help) 3. 64bit folder containing bit_gui_x64 (BurnInTest Linux GUI 64 bit version, double-click to launch app). bit_cmd_line_x64 (BurnInTest Linux command line 64 bit version). cmdline_config.txt (Text based config file for command line version) savedkey.dat (to get you started with the unregistered shareware version) 4. BurnInTest_Linux_CLI_EULA.txt 5. readme.txt 6. burnintest.sh (a script to check for 64 bit libraries and launch BurnInTest) Installation ============ 1. Uninstall any previous version of BurnInTest Linux by deleting it's folder. 2. Copy the new "burnintest" folder to your desired location or copy the contents of the new "burnintest" folder to your desired folder (I shall call this the destination_folder throughout this documentation). 3. Make sure you have read write permission for the destination_folder. This can be done with a CTL-I when you select the destination_folder's icon and changing the permission to read/write for owner, group and others. This can also be done via the command line with "chmod 774 destination_folder". You can only do this if you are the owner of the destination_folder or if you logged in as root user. (To change ownership of files/folders, use "chown user_name:user_group file_name". Type "man chmod" or "man chown" if you need assistance.) 4. Also make sure you have read/write permission for the "savedkey.dat" file and "LastUsed.cfg" file by following step (3). UnInstallation ============== Delete the folder that it was previously installed in or delete the contents of the folder. How to launch application ========================== 1. Application can be launched by double-clicking on the "burnintest.sh" icon, or entering the 64 bit directory and choosing a specific instance of BurnInTest to run. 2. To run application via the command line, from your terminal: i) Change the current working directory to the destination_folder by typing "cd path_to_destination_folder" (There is an easy way to copy path by dragging the destination_folder's icon into the terminal). ii) To be sure you have changed your working directory to destination_folder, issue a "pwd" command on the command line. This will print the path of the working directory. In this case, "path_to_destination_folder" should be the output. iii) Run the launch script by typing "./burnintest.sh" which will determine if you are using 64 bit linux, if the required libraries are available and launch BurnInTest 3. To choose which versions of BurnInTest to run (64 bit, GUI/command line) i) Change the current working directory to the destination_folder by typing "cd path_to_destination_folder" (There is an easy way to copy path by dragging the destination_folder's icon into the terminal). ii) To be sure you have changed your working directory to destination_folder, issue a "pwd" command on the command line. This will print the path of the working directory. In this case, "path_to_destination_folder" should be the output. iii) Change the working directory to 64bit directory iv) Launch the application by typing "./bit_gui_x64" for 64 bit GUI version, "./bit_cmd_line_x64" for 64 bit command line version Hardware Requirements ====================== - Intel and AMD compatible CPU. - Recommended 256MB of memory. - 10MB Disk space (more is required to run the disk test). - Optional serial and parallel loop back plugs for port testing. - A network connection for network testing. - A CD ROM + 1 Music CD or Data CD to run the CD test. - Optional specialized PassMark test CD/DVDs to run PassMark's CD/DVD test. - Optional PassMark USB2 test plugs for usb test Software Requirements: ====================== - 64bit Linux - Linux kernel 3.10 or higher - glibc 2.17 or higher - Qt 5.6.1 and higher - Open GL 1.2 and higher (for 3D graphics test plus working Open GL drivers for your video card). - libusb 1.0 - Administrator privilleges are required for certain tests. Linux distributions that meet these requirement (GUI version): ========================================================= So far, the following distributions have been tested (or reported) that met these requirements: CentOS 7 with Qt 5.6.1 installed Porteus 3.2.2 The command line version requires far less libraries and should work on most distributions. For a more comprehensive list, please refer to: http://www.passmark.com/support/bitlinux_faq.htm#software_requirement To aid us in making the software better for you, please e-mail to help@passmark.com if you have tested successfully in another Linux distribution of if you encountered issues with running BurnInTest for Linux on your system. Version History =============== Here is a summary of changes that have been made in each version of BurnInTest Linux: Version Date -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments (latest top, oldest bottom) BurnInTest v4.1 (1002) Linux 17 March 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added btrfs support for the disk test - Enabled the ExcludeDisks setting in the command line config to exclude partitions/disks from being tested when using the TestAllDisks option BurnInTest v4.1 (1000) Linux 5 June 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Removed dependency on QtWebkit and QtWebKitWidgets from the GUI version which should make it easier to install on newer Linux versions where the library was no longer available BurnInTest v4.0 (1005) Linux 10 April 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added logging of PCIe card temperature and voltage readings each cycle to the trace log (level 1) - Made some changes to how disks are displayed in the test preferences window to try and prevent strange behaviour when there was a large number of unmounted devices present on a system, only mounted / raw drives will be displayed. - Made some changes so that more partition information is collected for nvme drives and displayed in the system information - Fixed an issue where the default config file may start an empty disk test rather than selecting the root mount path - Fixed an issue where when running multiple serial port tests one or more ports could be left open after the test was stopped which could prevent retesting until BurnInTest was closed - Fixed a bug with the result window not displaying when manually stopped even if the "Always display result window" preference was selected - Fixed a bug where the result window would not display after the end of a script BurnInTest v4.0 (1004) Linux 2 August 2018 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed an issue with the management console configuration not accepting the new PHP filename - Updated error message when BurnInTest fails to start due to non-ASCII characters in path - Fixed a bug with post test external application action not always being launched correctly from then command line version - Fixed a bug preventing the management console connection from connecting properly - Added MachineID field to cmdline_config.txt to allow setting of of management console machine ID in text config file
