I aslo have this error msg, and ubuntu 16.04 will freeze sometimes if using amule, I dont want use SVN version, can I install old version?

[trekfan1]

same on my pc, only solution i have found is to use Amule on Win on virtualbox, it's NOT possible to use another version of amule on Ubuntu.

[GonoszTopi]

It is a known bug and it has been fixed long ago. Unfortunately the fix isn't yet in the Ubuntu binaries...

[hopelessone]

so where on earth are the working binaries then? cant find squat for amule, amuled, amulegui...........

I was yet another user with this problem, but who came up with a really simple solution.  I wanted to post my simple solution here for everyone.  What I did:

1) Uninstall aMule v.2.4.0-svn:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove amule amule-common amule-utils
2) Downgrade to the latest amule-stable release "aMule v2.3.2"

Install the ".deb" packages of a stable amule release by going to this site https://pkgs.org/download/amule and downloading the ".deb" packages for "Debian Sid" (the packages for Ubuntu 16.10 are the same, and the packages for Ubuntu 17.04 were finally updated but won't install).  Then use GDebi to install each of the main packages, amule, amule-common, amule-utils.  GDebi will complain of unmet dependencies, but no worries.  On the download page there is a "requires" tab.  Click on that tab and dl each of the unmet dependencies GDebi complains about until you've managed to install the entire bundle.   If you want "amule-utils" or "amule-utils-gui" then you'll have to enter "amule-utils" into the search bar on that webpage and do the same thing.  I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 MATE, so for me it looked like this:

  1) libcrypto++6_5.6.4-6_amd64.deb
  2) libboost-system1.62.0_1.62.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb
  3) amule-common_2.3.2-1_all.deb
  4) amule_2.3.2-1+b2_amd64.deb
  5) libreadline7_7.0-2_amd64.deb
  6) amule-utils_2.3.2-1+b2_amd64.deb

This will likely be the same for you, but may vary slightly by Ubuntu flavor.   So you may have to dl a few different dependencies before GDebi will install aMule for you.  In total, once I figured out what to do, this took me no more than 10-20 mins to complete.  I've been running v2.3.2 for over a week now with my ports open and a hi-ID, and not a single crash so far.

It's a shame that nobody from the (still very much supported) Ubuntu's LTS team has decided to fix this well know problem by updating the repo's from "aMule v.2.4.0-svn" to a newer version of amule where this problem was long ago fixed.  But for now, downgrading to a stable release is a simple solution.  Hope this helps.

P.S. - if you have any legitimate reasons why downgrading may not be a good option (security?), then please join the discussion.  But keep in mind that most people aren't ready to compile their own packages from tarball.
