Title: Skinfilename is empty
Post by: jossaq on June 23, 2007, 07:15:59 PM

Hi there,

I'm new at GNU/Linux OS. I installed Ubuntu festy last week so I'm not very handy at some matters.
Recently I installed aMule and at the beginning it worked well. Today i tried to launch a Mule and an error message appeared "Skin file name missing - loading defaults" I Clicked "OK" but aMule never starts...

I tried re installing it but didn't work...

Any help?

Hi Juan,

Could you please open a terminal and type "amule" there to start amule and tell us what the output is?

Regards

Hi,

I made what you told me...


Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
HTTP download thread started
Testing skins
Host: amule.sourceforge.net:80
URL: http://amule.sourceforge.net/lastversion
Response: 200 (Error: 0)
Download size: 6
HTTP download thread ended

And then it launched the amule window with the same error message.

Thanks

No error message at all, even after clicking on the dialog? I just tested it with aMule 2.1.3 and I got a nice crash. (Seems to be a bug with aMule 2.1.3 - this doesn't happen with developmental versions)

Too bad, you should be able to solve the problem anyway:

Open the file ~/.aMule/amule.conf (~ is your home folder, e.g. /home/jossaq/) and search for the entry "UseSkinFile=1" and change the value to zero. Then it should start fine again.

Remark after reading this again: Dear wuischke, please don't think faster than you can write (who turns "just tested" into "justed" anyway?) and doublecheck your sentences for spelling mistakes.
