Title: No cryptkey.dat found => aMule 2.0rc1 crashes
Post by: razibuzouzou on March 27, 2004, 02:30:51 PM

Hi there!
I just compiled and installed aMule 2.0rc1.
Unfortunately, it crashed when I tried to run it.

Code: [Select]

Initialising aMule
Loading preferences from /home/XXXXXX/.aMule/preferences.ini
Config:
x1: 0 y1: 34 x2: 1268 y2: 931
split read, found : 359

No cryptkey.dat found, creating

Aborted

I found a workaround by doing: dd if=/dev/random of=cryptkey.dat count=512
Tell me if this is dangerous...

My aMule created the file itself, but it is only 365 byte (5 lines * 72 + 6\n) and consists only of printable charcters, like a gpg-key or something similar. I dunno if yours will work reliable too, I am not that much into cryptography.

Seems a bug in the crypto packages. Try compiling from the ones on our download page.

It seems to work fine.... :)
I compiled libcrypto from the sources available on the amule download page...

I still have the problem razibuzouzou pointed out starting the thread. I use Gentoo, so initially I emerged crypto++ and manually created the symlinks. aMule failed to start, with the same output as posted above. Then I compiled and installed the libraries from the source posted on the homepage, but nothing changed - same error, no way to start aMule. I finally tried to manually generate the key the way razi did, and aMule started, showing this line in the log:

Code: [Select]

Is it safe to ignore this error? aMule 2 is crashing a lot here, maybe it's totally unrelated, but still...

BTW, compiling the libraries, I always get this warning:

Code: [Select]

g++ -g -pipe -c zdeflate.cpp
secblock.h: In member function `T& CryptoPP::SecBlock::operator[](I)
   [with I = unsigned char, T = unsigned int, A =  
  CryptoPP::FixedSizeAllocatorWithCleanup   CryptoPP::NullAllocator >]':
 zdeflate.cpp:513:   instantiated from here
 secblock.h:238: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data  
  type
Again, safe to ignore it?

Thanks.

Ok, nevermind. With the latest ebuilds and patches from the Gentoo Bugzilla for both crypto++ and aMule, everything works fine.
