does not start if ipfilter.dat is present
« on: October 17, 2005, 05:27:01 PM »
Hello all!
Hope, I am not that annoying as I seem to myself...
Finally, I made aMule working, by making my own gcc 3.4.4 on old RH7 machine. Strangely, it compiled and linked, more strangely, it is running. However.
This time, one bug does exist, if ~/.aMule/ipfilter.dat is there at the time of startup, with 0644 rights, aMule consumes all the CPU and displays a grey window with white areas. It does not show any information about network config in console, so I assume, menu initializations are not complete.
This bug was seen by me in 2.0.2 version compiled for W32, but there aMule crashed just on the same condition. Cure was also the same as now - delete the ipfilter.dat, and start aMule. Then copy ipfilter.dat to ~/.aMule or W32 aMule dir, and press Refresh IPfilter button on preferences. Works good, but a little uncomfortable ;)
PS: I use CVS from yesterday, not today.

For large ipfilter.dat files, aMule can be quite slow to load them.  If your computer is underpowered, it can be very slow.  How long have you waited?

Can you try with just a simple ipfilter.dat?  For instance, create one with just the first several lines from the one you normally use.

I have waited 10 minutes on 1GHz P-III SMP machine. QUITE long.
If I ask aMule to reload list while running (starting with empty one and putting while runtime) it takes about 15 seconds. As I may note, CVS became twice faster than 2.0.2, do not know why.
If ipfilter.dat contains at least one line, this thing happens.
My glibc is 2.2.2, wxWidgets CVS 15.10.2005 compiled with gcc 3.4.4, linked with binutils 2.16.1.
