[Bug 35914] Re: Startup file doesn't work
Maybe you need to apt-get remove --purge mldonkey, and then reinstall it. Note however that you lose your configuration files, though probably you will keep current downloads at the same progress level. -- Startup file doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still have this problem. It shows no error, but the core doesn't start.

OK, just reporting that last time I tried installing this package from scratch (after --purge), it just worked. It was a month ago, in Ubuntu gutsy.

Sorry, for the spam, just a small errata: changing the mldonkey user shell from /bin/false to /bin/sh is not needed after all, so nevermind that. It was only useful temporarily in order to debug what was wrong... Sorry Milton. In fact I might have the same problem as you, since I have not yet rebooted the PC after installing mldonkey... :P -- Startup file doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/35914 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hm.. it could be caused by this: Exception: bind failed: Address already in use at port 6881 This is normally caused by another application currently using this port.

That's not the problem according to the log. I neither have a client nor a bittorrent server.

[Bug 35914] Re: Startup file doesn't work
OK, I think I've had some success starting mldonkey; here's what I had
to do:
1- The shell for the user 'mldonkey' is set to /bin/false; needed change it to
/bin/sh;
2- The file users.ini in /var/lib/mldonkey is broken. Here's a sample:
users2 = [
{ user_name = admin
user_pass = XXX...XXX
user_mail =
};]
(replace XXX...XXX with your password hash)
Next problem was how to start the GUI. You run the command 'mlgui' and
it complains about bad authorization and asks you to press the settings
button which was nowhere to be found. Well, guess where it is... it's
only available as a menu item in the popup menu of the systray icon! :|
Anyway, hope this helps..

Thank you very much Gustavo, but my problem is that mldonkey is not automatically started on start up, but it run when I execute it from a console, when the boot process has ended.

[Bug 35914] Re: Startup file doesn't work
I have mldonkey 2.8.1-1, and it does not start on the boot process (it's configured to do so), but if I manually start it once logged in, it works. I don't know why that's happen.

[Bug 35914] Re: Startup file doesn't work
Okay I got this working! The patch that chantra gave did not help here. Neither did the original suggestion in the bug description of commenting out one of the WRAPPER_OPTIONS= lines. I think this fix will probably work for the following bugs, which are likely caused by the same error: 65743 70177 What I found was that when the /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server script runs and tries to start mlnet, it executes an install command with the invalid -f option. It seems that the author intended to create a blank $PIDFILE (/var/run/mlnet.pid) with explicit user, group, and permissions. But the author botched that. For one, the install command does not take a -f option. Instead it should have a source and destination file. So for another, $PIDFILE I would assume is the intended destination file but no source file is given. Looking further, I learned that the following line calls start-stop- daemon to actually start or kill the mlnet server process. Since start- stop-daemon is passed the --pidfile $PIDFILE argument, it will create the file if it does not exist and populate it with the process id for the mlnet process. If the /var/log/mlnet.pid file already exists, then it will error out and indicate that mldonkey-server (mlnet) is already running. SO... The answer is to simply comment out the install command line, and it starts to work fine. This error causes installing (or uninstalling) the mldonkey-server package with APT or Synaptic (or whatever) to fail as well, because the script is called to stop and/or start the mlnet daemon as part of the (un|re)installation. I don't know how to create patch files, even though it's probably easy. So instead I will just attach my modified /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server script. You can back up or rename your existing one and try mine out in it's place to see if it fixes you as well. PEACE!
