I don't really understand peer to peer stuff, so please be more clear....what does mean first italic? and what is a terminal, is the terminal i have in utility? I don't know I don't understand, i've tried a few things but it says, that does not match..... strange

PLEASE BE MORE BASIC IN EXPLANING.................I'M GETTING NUTS

[wuischke]

This is italic text. This is bold text. This is underlined text. This is normal text.

Yes, I mean the Terminal you have in Utilies.

And this is not about Peer-to-Peer stuff, these are just some basic things about the backbone of your Operating System.

Could you please post the messages you got about 'does not match'?

And just try to be calm. Computers ain't worth any emotions.

[bettix]

.....what a italic text is but couldn't recognize from the writing you've sent me....

[thedude0001]

Well, the bold got lost because the tags are ignored inside code tags, I took the liberty to change that to quote ^^

[bettix]

hi wuischke,

are you there? I still have that prob...

OK. We need to get to know the file's permissions.

One way to find this out is by using the terminal.
Open up a terminal, just like you did it to start amule.
Then type or copy the following in the terminal.

Code: [Select]

ls -l /Users/bettaman/Desktop/ | grep aMule.appTo explain the command:
'ls' lists all files in a directory.
The switch '-l' list further details about the files.
The '|' forwards the output to the next command.
'grep' filters the result, that only lines with 'aMule.app' will be outputted.

Now you should please post the result of this command here.


Maybe there is someone else who knows more about mac, who can post here as well.

i think was bettix tries is to start the application package in the terminal which doesn't work. when i try it here i get also an error (amule.app is a directory). the different error on bettix side is sure a permission thing but to get the cause for the problem not beeing able to start amule with double-click you must ctrl-click in finder (or right-click if you have a 2-btn mouse) your amule on the desktop.
in the popup-menu the is a command like "show package contents". select it an you get a new window with the content of the amule package.
open the folder "contents".
open the folder "MacOS"
there you have the amule application.

now open a terminal window (start application terminal in folder applications/utilities)
now drag the application amule form above in the open terminal window.
you have then something like

Code: [Select]

tcsh: /Users/bettaman/Desktop/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/amulenow press return.

now either amule will start or you will get an error which could be of some help to find out what's wrong.

(if amule start up normally don't worry if it exits when you close your terminal window, this is normal)

[bettix]

dear Bongo tanx you were really clear....I did all what you've said, but when I open  the popup-menu the  command show package contents I've select and you got the window with the content of the amule package, i've opened the folder
opened the folder "MacOS" but there wasn't the amule application, i had 6 elments, I show it to you: 1- ed2kHelperScript.app, 2-an icon like the one of the terminal, i think is a consol, named amule,and other 3, one is amulecmd, the other is: amuleweb, and: ed2k.....but not amule app. that one is on my desktop... so...i've tried to open the terminal amule finded in the os folder and this is the result, but i don't know if is relevant to do it or not, i'll show it to you anyway:

Hello bettix!

Either you did already start aMule and it is running. If this is the case, just close the other running aMule and try it again.
If you are sure, that there is no other aMule running, delete the file ".mulelock" aMule's configuration directory.

regards

[bongo]

the amule with the terminal icon is the right on. as wuischke said, there is probably already an amule process running on your machine.
open the process monitor in your utilities folder and you get a list of all running programms. if ther is one called amule select it and end it with the btn in the right corner.
this can happen when amule crashes and the gui disappears but the process itself gets not killed.

then try again the terminal-thing from above to see if there is an error.

if there is no amule in the process listing it's probably th lock file.
so go to ~/library/application support/ where ~ is your home folder.
there you have an folder amule.
now open the terminal enter "cd " and drag the amule folder in the terminal window and press return.

now enter "ls" and you get a listing of the files in the amule folder.
if there is a file "muleLok" (and amule isn't running as checked above) type "rm muleLok" and the try starting amule again.

[bettix]

Amule isn't running from the process....


the terminal I have to drag amule folder is from utility terminal? because in the sistem folder there is a empty folder called terminal....anyway i did it from the usual terminal fro utility...and nothing happen....when u say enter CD you mean type cd? and enter is also?

[bettix]

listen....isn't it better if i re-installit it?

[ken]

bettix, probably the simplest solution for you is to just trash the muleLock file  from ~/Library/Application Support/aMule.  You can do this from the Finder -- no need to mess with the Terminal.  That should allow aMule to start.

I also have a problem with not only starting up. But I kind of traced it (from a user point of view).

I'm running BOINC. I usualy have it to "Run Allways" since it is nicely behaved and backs off the cpu when I nead it for other things.

The only exception is with aMule.

If I have boinc running when I startup aMule, it loads the UI but the system starts spinning the little colored disk and it does'nt load anymore. While in this state of "spinning" if I pause boinc it finishes loading aMule and all is normal.

Second problem.

It is similar to the first and must have to do with the same problem as it affects amule and boinc.
If I have amule running and set boinc to run after a few minutes of inactivity the folowing happens:
as soon as boinc starts crunching aMule let's go of the processor, looses the conection, stops up/downloading.

Is this a bug

running 10.4.6 with amule 2.1.1 and latest boinc
