Title: Problem with planeshift CVS server and Linux installer
Post by: Taffy on February 10, 2005, 02:31:06 am

Is there an alternative CVS server somewhere?
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/planeshift
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend()Connect (Connection refused)

I first tried running the updater yesterday and I have tried many times since but I keep getting that error... The 3.006 installer worked fine for me (and I can start up the client etc) but when I try to connect to the server I get:
\"You are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server.\"

From the sourceforge.net status page:
(  2005-02-09 08:58:54 - Project CVS Service )   As of 2005-02-09 there is an outage of anonymous CVS (tarballs, pserver-based CVS and ViewCVS) for projects whose UNIX names start with the letters m, n, p, q, t, y and z. We are currently working on resolving this issue.

You can use my Java updater if you like (I\'d actually be interested to here how it works out as I\'ve not been able to test it on Linux). Since the files are not actually located on the CVS server you should be able to DL all the updates in the repository. My updater (I\'m not liable for anything bad that happens when you use it ;) ): Updater.jar (29 k) (http://www.world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/PSUpdater/Updater.jar)

Make sure you have Java version 1.4.2 or later (available from java.sun.com).

If that option doesn\'t work for you, the CVS should be back up in a few days (so I\'ve heard).

your java updater is running right now: Estimated time remaining: About 8 hours ....
i\'ll send you the results when it is finished!

thanx,

p.s.: is it possible to see the source of your updater?

did the update with the java updater. same problem as ever:
Segmentation fault

Just decompile it.
Someone actually wrote that much code, for me? :)

Post by: derula on February 10, 2005, 02:28:55 pm

@Cha0s: well, your updater downloads _ALL_ data, wich means a redownload of _ALL_ data, even if it exists and is the same. eg art directory exists, but you updater gets all art data. perhaps this can be done in another way? well perhaps it only gets it because i run it in the wrong directory... where should i?

edit: oh yes it downloads into the wrong directory. how can i change that?

what should i do to get rid of the seg-fault - any hints?

Run the updater from the directory in which all your normal Planeshift files exist... I\'m not exactly sure how the Linux distro is set up, but run it from directory that contains all your cfg files (planeshift.cfg, psclient.cfg, etc.). As for updating the zip archives by entries instead of DLing the whole archive, run it from the command line (in the correct directory!!!) by typing:


java -jar Updater.jar ARGS (detailed below)

You can have up to 4 arguments at the moment which you can enter in place of ARGS, including:
Run without the GUI: \"nogui\"
Download individual zip entries instead the whole archive: \"zipentries\"
Update everything (including cfg files which aren\'t normally updated): \"updateall\"
Show debug messages when errors are encountered: \"debugmode\"

Example:
java -jar Updater.jar zipentries nogui
That would run the updater without the GUI and try to DL the zip entries. The compression is a little weird though, so the archive sizes don\'t come out quite right (i.e. the same as the repository). :\\

As for the code, I\'ll consider making it generally available, though for now you can get to it by decompiling (no comments or variable names though).

Androgos: who said I wrote it for you? :P

Not  enough information, please do the following
$ gdb ./psclient
wait for it to segfault
> backtrace
Post results somewhere... to give a clue to as what\'s wrong.. also how much ram/swap do you have?

gdb = GNU Debug or something similar and should be easily installable on all systems.

Post by: derula on February 10, 2005, 04:20:42 pm

Cha0s: I ran at in the planeshift directory, but instead of downloading into that directory, it downloaded in the home directory (wich is 2 dirs above). i\'ll try from console.

edit: now that seems to work.

Post by: Cha0s on February 10, 2005, 04:21:35 pm

Oh, and as for the estimated time thing... It only becomes accurate about 5-10 minutes in (assuming an hour or so update) and that\'s cause I was lazy when I made my estimated time algorithm. Basically, it just takes the bytes DL/the time running (in seconds) as the average speed and divides the total updates (in bytes) by that. I might implement a better one today if I have enough time. If I do develop one, it\'ll probably use the last 5 amounts DLed over the last 25 seconds (it updates every 5 seconds) to calculate speed of DL. If anyone has any better suggests, I\'m open to them. :)

thanx - now i know that my planeshift was using a different CS installation after setting CRYSTAL=path/to/CS, CEL=path/to/cel and CSCONFPATH=path/to/cel i get:

p.s.: 1Gig RAM and 2Gig swap should do it :-)

thanx for the nice tool and i usually ask before i decompile other peoples binaries. most of the time i get code with comments ....

How was it installed? Was it installed from CVS or maybe the Unofficial binaries? Maybe a script?

the linux installer from the official planeshift website. the cvs repository is unavailable - for 2 days now ...

Check your cal3d and CS installations... was the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

Have you decompiled Java before? :P

The Java compiler puts in the stuff that\'s needed run the code, not everything in the source file, so a decompiled Java class file will have generic variable names and no comments. Also, you should probably extract the class files from the JAR first (jar xf Updater.jar). Then look around for a good Java decompiler. ;)

i used JAD. decompiling depends on how you compiled the code. if you left the debug information inside i\'ll get readable code.

JAD is quite old (but usefull!) - do you know a better one?

i made this startup script and the same error is still there:

#!/bin/sh
CRYSTAL=/home/test/games/planeshift/CS
CEL=/home/test/games/planeshift/cel
CSCONFPATH=/home/test/games/planeshift/cel
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/test/games/planeshift/cal3d/lib:/home/test/games/planeshift/CS:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export CRYSTAL
export CEL
export CSCONFPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

cd planeshift
./psclient
cd -

i tried to get planeshift running under windowsXP. after using your updater i get: \"Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift ....\"

should the updater work under windows?

Post by: Cha0s on February 11, 2005, 10:18:25 pm

Yes. Did you run it with \"updateall\" from the command line?

at last, planeshift cvs is back up!

i tried it with the updateall option but planeshift did not start. after installing again and using the official installer i was able to start it (using windows). with linux i still have no luck :-(
