Hi, after I updated my system with dist-upgrade I can't run amule as normal user anymore. When I start it I get the following output:

Code: [Select]

Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
        aMule Version: aMule 2.1.3 using wxGTK2 v2.6.3 (Unicoded)

Terminated after throwing an instance of 'CInvalidStateEx'
        what(): CRunTimeException::CInvalidStateException: CFile: Cannot get length of closed file.
        backtrace:

Does anybody know a solution to this? And is running amule as root dangerous in any way?

Thanks everybody!

Hi metalelf0!

Please rename your ~/.aMule directory to something like e.g. ~/.aMule-old.
Then start aMule. It should run without problems now and create a new config-dir.
First you should try to copy your credit files (cryptkey.dat and preferences.dat) and start aMule again.
Setup aMule with your desired settings and import the content of the old temp folder.  When nothing is missing you can now safely delete the .aMule-old directory.

I hope this helps you a bit. If you should still encounter the error, please create a real backtrace

Hi wuischke!
Thanks a lot for your reply, I tried it and it worked perfectly! Really thanks, I was getting mad with that error...
