Connecting to a server looks like a huge job
« on: November 21, 2006, 06:36:12 PM »
I'm using 2.1.3 CVS version, current snapshot 2006-11-20., on ubuntu dapper.
Each time I connect to a server amule freezes for about 90 sec. and the cpu goes to 100%.
Is it normal?
Thanks a lot.

Let's start with the usual things:
Version of wx? aMule? (Still the above CVS?)
What's the output of aMule when you open it in a terminal?

Sorry for delay, I wasn't able to connect in the last week for technical problems.
Here the output of amule starting in a terminal:
--------------------------------------------------
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
Loading temp files from /media/hdc1/downloads/aMule/scaricando.

All PartFiles Loaded.
ListenSocket: Ok.

External connections disabled in config file
*** Server UDP socket (TCP+3) at 0.0.0.0:4665
*** TCP socket (TCP) listening on 0.0.0.0:4662
*** Client UDP socket (extended eMule) at 0.0.0.0:4672
--------------------------------------------------

I omitted the list of empty dirs found. I suppose that the zeroes in the IP addresses in the above 3 lines are involved in the problem, but I don't know how.

In the log window of amule this is the version found:

2006-12-08 17:03:51:  - This is aMule CVS using wxGTK2 v2.6.3 (Snapshot: Fri Dec  8 07:01:52 CET 2006) based on eMule
2006-12-08 17:03:51:    Running on Linux 2.6.15-27-386 i686

Hi luquino!

The zeros are no problem, they mean 'every ip.

To phrase my question differently: What's the terminal output, when you connect to a server and cpu-load increases?

Hi wuischke!
Sorry for misunderstanding  :(  

Well I tried it right now, but there is no output at all on the terminal during connection to a server.

Never mind, there's no need to apologize,

Mh, is there any strange output in the log? I hoped for some nice error messages in the terminal which could easily explain...:(

No, unfortunately I have no strange report in the log, here what it says after the freeze period:

2006-12-08 17:49:31: Servers: Trying to connect
2006-12-08 17:49:31: Connecting to DonkeyServer No3 (62.241.53.17 - 62.241.53.17:4242)
2006-12-08 17:49:31: Connected to DonkeyServer No3 (62.241.53.17:4242)
2006-12-08 17:49:32: Servers: Connected

If the report log is well synchronized with the events it looks like that the freeze period is before the connection to the server, the merely connection is fast.
Mmmmhhh.... that's strange

I' ve been thinking on this trick......
Maybe in the freeze period it tries to access some unavailable resource? Can u teach me how to use the debug mode to understand what happens? (if it can help, obviously)

Well, you should compile aMule adding '--enable-debug --disable-optimize' to the configure command.

Then install gdb (See http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Backtraces for more information) and start aMule the following way:

Code: [Select]
gdb amule
(gdb) run -eveniflfroencomplainsthiswillstay
Now there should be more information on what aMule's doing during the 'freeze'. This information will hopefully help solving the problem.

I use the precompiled version from here:
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ stable amule wx

My system is ubuntu dapper 6.06.1.

That version is already compiled for debug?

edit:
I already have gdb installed

Some new details.

I tried tyo connect some more times in order to understand something new, I found that the freeze period is not always before connecting to the server, sometimes before the connection some other times after the connection. But also now I'm listening a stream radio and always at the moment I double click the server to connect the radio mute for a while, less than the freeze period, but significant.

Maybe it's because you use the debian packages, which may not be 100% compatible. Please install aMule 2.1.3 from dapper-backports and tell us if it works here.
