Crash at startup : how to bypass it !
« on: October 26, 2004, 02:29:42 AM »
Hi,

I compiled 200rc7 on debian sid. It crashed at startup (same for the precompiled package provided by DrazziB). I tried with a fresh new empty .aMule directory and amule worked. After some luck i found that erasing the file "preferences.dat" in .aMule/ make amule start without crashing. The problem is i have to erase preference.dat before every stratup !

Any medication doctor ?

Regards

Hi,

I've never used emule... I give up on window$ years ago ;) (I was using debian Woody !)

All the file there was in .aMule where created by aMule, they all worked good with 200rc5 (the binaries provided from debian woody). It seems to be to be a real amule's bug.

I've not tried removing ~/.aMule/clients.met ; will i lose my credits ?

Regards.

hey

you will not loose your credtis..but the other users will lose those they have at your pc...
but first try to remove the .eMule file and if that does not work to remove the clients.met from the .aMule folder

Hi,

First i repeat : i've never used emule, not even once ! There is not .emule file on my linux box.

I've "13848 clients" in my clients.met (as the windows server said). Will it be fair to erase them ? I don't think so...

Erasing preference.dat works to start amule, it's running now from more than 9 hours.

I prefer another way than erasing clients.met , any idea ?

Thank you for your attention,
Regards

and I repeat there IS an .eMule file ;)

since it get generated with aMule and all your settings are stored in there...so you DO have it...
but ok if everything is working now its fine I guess...

do you still ahve to delete preferences.dat now or not? when you shut amule down.... and what eMule version did you use before you swiched to linux?

Crash at start up solved !

You get the point stefanero !

The problem was ~/.eMule !

Since a rename it (egual to delete), aMule just run fine. Even if i used the old files in .aMule : i mean the file a had with 200rc5 (just before switching for the 200rc6 provided by debian sid repository, wich crached at start up, then i changed for 200rc7 provided by DrazziB in the new for realasing 200rc7 : crached at startup, then i compiled my own amule using sources : it crashed at startup too).

Well i loose my nick and maybe others minor stuffs...

Sorry to keep asking you to do stuff, but could you possibly recompile aMule with debugging enabled and create a full backtrace?
