mldonkey problem
 

i had mldonkey loaded and running fine and the other day i tried to open the program but it said "the program mldonekey+net could not be found"

turns out my downloads had filled up my harddrive. so i deleted the downloads i didn't need

well the program still wouldn't open so i deleted and unpacked it again but i am still getting the same error

please help

I ran into a similar problem when I wasn't paying attemption and had the 8th CD converted to WAV and filled my hard drive. I had to delete (actually backup .mozilla) .mozilla and then it started properly. Several of the files where severely hosed, literally, root could not delete. Cluster error --> Media corrupted, run fsck. Ran fsck -ext3, then could delete .mozilla, and the system is fine again. (well, haven't seen any more side affects to filling the HD up). Is there a .mldonkey directory? Have you run fsck?

did you run it from sbin;

i tried fsck but it said it could seriously damage a mounted filesystem and i didn't want to hose it futher

is this ok?

did you use any extensions?

If you didn't run mldonkey as root you 'should' be ok.Only root is allowed to fill up a ext2/3 file system by more than 95%.If the box boots without file system errors that won't be the problem.

i wasn't root but the drive had to have been more than 95% full it only had like 600K before i deleted temp files

what can i try to do?

yes, fsck -ext3, however, my filesystem WAS corrupted, and I was at 100% (well, I think 2400 bytes free). Before you try fsck, see if it can be fixed. If you have to, you boot into runlevel 1, single user or 'repair mode', then fsck your disk.

Try
locate mldonkey,
then go to that directory and then
./mldonkey
