Ubuntu Linux 18.04.2 - aMule Search not working, except as "root user".

Acampos · 01-01-2019, 03:22 PM

After upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 I never was able to run aMule properly.
I've updated from Ubuntu Software center and when lunching the app it crashed as described below.
Searched the installation file in internet and the result was the same.
Last weekend I removed it and installed through the Terminal: sudo apt update + Sudo apt install amule.
After installation I started the app in Terminal (sudo aMule) and received a message saying that for security reasons I should not run the app as root user. I ignore it and the the app worked perfectly. Whenever I start the app through the Terminal I have the same message. However, If I launch the app through the menu icon (or in the Terminal but not using 'sudo')the app starts, go to seach option and search for a given subject. The results appear but when putting the cursor over an item to select it the application crash.
My questions:
1- Is there a solution for this?
2- How to avoid the "root user" in order to have the app running correctly?
Thank you very much for your help.

Can you start aMule from the terminal under your regular user account, and paste what it outputs to the terminal with the [CODE] tag?

1 - The following output is when I use Terminal and 'sudo' command to get aMule working correctly. (I'm sorry it is in portuguese).

Just a note, Acampos, that you didn't use CODE tags for your output as requested (see https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...og.php?b=36313), and also that you should be able to force your output to English by prefixing the command with LC_ALL=c, e.g.

Code:

It hiccups when loading "PartFile" 16 and 21 - do you have full access rights/permissions for the directory "/home/artur/.aMule/Temp"? That could explain why it works in root but not your normal user account

When the .part file permissions for the part file are -rw-rw-r-- and the owner is set to arthur, the file won't throw an error under the regular user account.

When the .part file permissions are -rw-r--r-- and the owner is set to root, an error ensues. Here's a nice little guide (it's a wiki page for Arch Linux, but it won't be any different on Ubuntu) on how to change the permissions (chmod) and owner (chown): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...and_attributes

Good document. I follow your suggestion and following are the results:

1- To change the ownership of the problematic files:

Code:

artur@artur-ThinkPad-T400:/$ sudo sudo chown artur:artur /home/artur/.aMule/Temp/025.part

2- To change their permissions:

Code:

artur@artur-ThinkPad-T400:/$ sudo sudo chmod g=rw /home/artur/.aMule/Temp/025.part

3- Result:

Code:

artur@artur-ThinkPad-T400:~$ ls -la /home/artur/.aMule/Temp

Invoking the application name aMule still crashs. What will be the reason?
Thank you.

PS. What about to do a clean uninstall of aMule, removing fully the app, restart Ubuntu and make a new installation?

That. and maybe clearing "/home/artur/.aMule/Temp". Perhaps clearing the whole ~/.aMule directory if you can without loosing anything

I've made a complete uninstallation:

sudo apt-get --purge remove amule
sudo apt-get --purge remove amule-common
sudo apt-get --purge remove amule-gnome-support
sudo apt-get --purge remove amule-utils
sudo apt-get autoremove

I rebooted the system and installed again aMule through Ubuntu Software centre.
Unfortunately the result is the same, this is, aMule only works via Terminal and 'sudo' command.

Code:

artur@artur-ThinkPad-T400:~$ ls -la /home/artur/.aMule/Temp
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 artur artur 4096 jan  7 23:26 .

This bugger really won't give up.

Have you tried "rm -r ~/.aMule" (completely clearing your configuration in your home directory? (be sure that you don't have any data you want to keep there, consider backing up)

I would also try setting up another user profile and see if it runs there. Have you looked into the program's documentation about Ubuntu 18.04 or any potential effects of library upgrades?

ondoho · 01-08-2019, 01:07 AM

do NOT run amule as root!!!!!!!!!

everytime you do it, you mess up your permissions again.

it is also insanely insecure to run any internet app as root!!!!!!!

you have to fix the permissions for ALL files that are now root:root, under your home folder.
ALL of them:

Code:

find "$HOME" -group root

go over that list first.
if it looks ok, do this:

Code:

find "$HOME" -group root -exec sudo chown artur:artur {} \;

(not tested)

I followed step by step the suggestions that both of you posted above. Including the creation of a new normal User and a new installation. The result is the same as described before.
Best regards.

wagscat123 · 01-13-2019, 12:20 PM

At this point I'd try a new Ubuntu installation or maybe set up a virtual machine of Ubuntu 16.04 and run it in there. And definitely look into potential bugs in Ubuntu 18.04, amule's dependent libraries, and amule itself.
