Update failure

[pHnord]

Yo people

According to the problems the player community experienced (me too of course) due to the work on the update server, I tried it again now. I\'m happy that the repository seems to be online again, but my updater is kind of buggy. When i run
./updater --auto
it says:
Critical files () not found (Server only)

planeshift.updater.application:
  psUpdaterEngine initialized.
Downloading registry...
0%....25%....50%....75%....100%
Loaded registry
Your updater version is older than the server\'s..
Speicherzugriffsfehler (trans.: Segmentation Fault)

This happens with the CVS AND the PSCB binary installer version!
Any ideas?

thanks so far

Please, if you have compiled it from CVS, give me something to work with..

Run in gdb and type bt full when it crashes and paste the output here

Hi,
sorry for the long period of not posting here.. Hehe, I tried to find a solution on myself, but now I need an advise.

I spend about a week now to get the psclient started. Without success. Actually I\'m working with an install from the binaries (Karosh\'s binaries) and with CVS install. At first, here are some computer details:
CPU: AMD AthlonXP 1800+
RAM: 512 MB
GFX: Nvidia GeForce 2MX 400
OS: Debian SID with Linux Kernel 2.6.10

I\'ve installed CrystalSpace, cal3d and cel also from sourcecode. I think they are ok and ready to use, because I played Planeshift with them already. The different variables point to:
CRYSTAL=/home/phnord/CS (CS CVS install)
CEL=/home/phnord/games/cel (cel nightly snapshot, I get an error message when using cel from CVS)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/phnord/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs/:.

About CVS install:
This is the most preferable install to me. The problem is that, when I ran the ./psclient and logged into the server, it takes about 5-10 minutes to load the world map, GUI etc. After that the client runs with 0.0-0.1 FPS. So it\'s unplayable. My OpenGL subsystem works fine with other 3D-Games (even with that old gfx card). The console output is kind of strange:
**** INPUT BUFFER FULL OF TYPE ....
The most common number was 13, I think. Could this really happen? \'free\' says that there are still a few MBs left on RAM. Perhaps this is a known bug? I couldn\'t find a thread with a solution for that.

About install from binaries:
That\'s really annoying. I played well with the binaries, until the new update began to stop the fun. After installing I updated all the needed files. for Crystal Blue. Full of hope, I started the psclient again, but it messed up while I didn\'t use \"the correct version of Planeshift\", even after the first update. I tried to figure it out by myself, and had a look into updaterconfig.xml. I changed the mirror that the updater uses from    
http://www.mortalsaviour.de/download/updater/  to
http://laanx.fragnetics.com/updater_hidden/ . To my surprise, he downloaded about 18MB from this server (how could that be?). Full of hope (again ...),  I started a new try but the client and setup still exit with the question for the crystal environment variable.

Now I\'m here. Please let me know if you need any debugger output.
Thanks

I did some changes on my repository today. Did you download and extract the new updater tarball and started the updater then?

[pHnord]

Yep, I downloaded this 1023-2 updater and executed it. It tells me that no files need to be updated. Btw, 1023-2 worked very well, much batter than 1023 which brokens sometimes in SegFaults and bus errors.

EDIT: I changed the active repository mirror (for binary install) back to your server Karosh. Now he downloads 22MB...
EDIT2: Now the result: I can start Planeshift now (yeah...), but when logging into my account, the client tells me that I\'m not running the correct version to play on the server. That\'s strange, the update isn\'t five minutes ago.
