Well some guy urged me to create a separate bug report for the Webinterface problem.
Mindpirate could you do that in a detailled way? You could provide your traffic analysis.
I will confirm the problem then.

As I suspected, the web interface issue is covered by an existing bug, so I've contributed what I know so far to it:

Bug 6415 - windows web server app fails to send more than 11680 bytes !?

[hszFS]

Hmmz, unfortunately, that bug is fixed in Wine 0.9.28 as commented by it's reporter, but my Webinterface still does not work with 0.9.28
Could you create a bug report for our problem please? I would also do it but I lack the technical details of what happens to the packets.

eMule running normally displays everything in unicode as little squares. Setting a differnt localization works for various languages for the menu bars, etc., but actual file names and stuff don't work.

For some reason, unicode works fine when eMule is run as root, but I'd rather not do this...is there anything else I can do?

I'll check into it, but I won't have time to test 0.9.28 and file a detailed report for the next week or so unfortunately. Other work beckons.

That's a really sticky problem that hasn't happened to me in a couple of years. Please tell us what versions of eMule, Wine, and Linux distro you're using, and what fonts you're using in eMule/Wine. Since there's all kinds of stuff that can cause this, it would also be helpful to know what your system's font and language setup is (xfs? Windows TrueType fonts installed natively? NLS support in the kernel? LANG set to utf-8 charset? etc.).

Hello,

I've successfully installed Wine & eMule on Ubuntu (btw, great tutorial/mini-howto) and everything works. Problem is that when I try to connect to eMule web interface from one of the other computers in network (the other computers are running Windows XP) it loads login page, but image is not loaded completely and when I try to login it will just keep on waiting on response from eMule.

Thing that puzzles me is that when I try to do same thing directly from firefox on Ubuntu machine it works perfectly and I can login via web interface. So the problem only appears when I try to access web interface from another computer.

Does anyone else has the same problem?

Regards,
Basti

I use eMule 0.47c on gentoo with kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r2 and wine 0.9.29 and I have exactly the same problem. I filed a comment to this bug http://bugs.winehq.o...bug.cgi?id=6415 . I don't know if I have to open a new bug because it seems that wine guys consider this one fixed.

Over recent weeks (months?) I notice that after emule has been running for a few hours, there is an error message saying something unexpected happened, that there was an error, due to "too many files being open". Downloads stop/ drop to zero, altho file uploads continue just fine. The file that was being worked on which apparently led to the error is put into "stopped" mode, I have to select resume to continue downloading it.

If you read a little earlier in this thread, you'd see this issue has been resolved in Wine as of 2 versions ago. Please update.

[hszFS]

The Webinterface still does not work with Wine 0.9.31.
Are you going to write a bug report mindpirate?
Otherwise I will have to write one without the information you gathered during your packet sniffing.

[thun]

I tried emule 0.30e on xubuntu 6.10 with wine 0.9.31 binary by simply unpacking and without changing the dll setup. However even with a high ID connection, a search returns mostly 1 avaible sources and in transfers no sources can be found. So a download/upload does not begin. Other versions happen to have the same problem. Any ideas?

[torpon]

I'm not sure but I think that emule 0.30e didn't exists in official verison. If it existed would be too old, and rejected by servers.

Cheers

Sorry but the new year still has me too busy with work to do more testing and file an in-depth bug report.

It's not difficult, just time-consuming, so why don't you give it a shot. Just watch the web interface's TCP sessions using Wireshark, both for connections over the LAN and localhost. You should see the images transferring nice and orderly during localhost connections, but out-of-order and corrupted during LAN connections.

I believe torpon is right, 0.30e doesn't sound like an official eMule release (even if it is, it's way too old). Is it a mod? Because unfortunately the HowTo won't support users with eMule mods, there's just too many mods to keep track of and many of them are full of buggy, crappy code which would make it hard to tell if problems are caused by Wine or by the mod.

Downloaded from the project page at sourceforge. As it states: 0.30e(Hotfix) Notes (2003-12-11 16:00).
Sure it's pretty old but worked absolutely fine with my Win system, was my first worked pretty stable so I still use it.

Do you "have to" tweak the dll's (use the native ones) to get emule work on wine? If true, can you tell me which?
Absolutely addicted to eMule , there should be someone having the same problem?
thnks though

[leuk_he]

Try 0.47c now. It improved a lot under the hood. (morph 9.5 does not work right now). COPying fonts might make it look nicer, but where did you get this tip from, it should not be required.

Ah well you really should update because 0.47c is very stable, Kad is a great feature, and because the HowTo method only supports recent versions of eMule and Wine.

In older versions of the HowTo using some native DLLs was recommended, but only with versions of Wine around 0.9.1 and earlier if I remember correctly. It was comctl32.dll and riched20.dll from the Windows 2000 or XP CDs if you want to mess with that, but neither of those DLLs have anything to do with the networking parts of eMule, only the user interface. Try eMule 0.47c and see if it has the same problem you described.

[KastenKopf]

I recently tried eMule 0.47c on kubuntu with newest wine 0.9.32.
I had it running about 2 hours with my few downloads and it did quite well. No crashes, I was able to connect with HighID, uploads seemed stable and a few MB came down too.
Only thing that didn't work so well was KAD. At first it connected normally, not firewalled or anything. But when I returned to my PC after ~1,5 hours KAD was disconnected and it refused to connect again. No matter if I just hit "connect" or "bootstrap from known clients" - it loaded up ~100 nodes but they all didn't answere...
Somehow reminds me of the KAD-Problem me and many others have/had with aMule (eg. I had it running as daemon on another machine without X installed).

Hm, I haven't heard of anyone having Kad-specific problems with eMule under Wine before. You say you're using 0.9.32 on Kubuntu, but 0.9.32 was only released yesterday. Which repository did you get it from (or did you build from source)?

Also, have you tried installing eMule to a fresh directory and bootstrapping Kad from some random client?

I still try aMule from time to time just for laughs. Last time was a couple of weeks ago, and apart from the usual crappy user interface design issues, I wasn't surprised to discover, as you did, that it can't stay connected to Kad for more than a few minutes. This is one of the reasons this HowTo was created, and why it will continue to exist -- nothing beats eMule.

Oops... sneaky updates. It was 0.9.31, but I updated to .32 now for real.
I get my updates from WineHQ APT Repository (see download page...)

Nope. Maybe I'll try later (unfortunately those tests are time intensive)...
It seems, the problem arises when I close my laptop's lid.
The Network connection somehow gets disturbed when I do this...
Around that time I got for example

Quote

05.03.2007 01:22:05: Error: Client UDP socket, failed to receive data: Error 10035

And since then KAD started to drop one node after another and completely disconnected a few minutes later. No further messages in verbose log. Wine also don't gives any error messages in it's console window.
But KAD doesn't always immediately die when the network connection gets confused this way... I also got many other errors then and sometimes a LowID, too. Strange... Maybe some driver error...

Yup, Full ack. These bugs in aMule are known for years now and... oh well... too bad eMule doesn't run without its GUI though.

Aha, I read something about this problem recently in Ubuntu, not in relation to eMule or Wine exactly, but just general networking disruptions related to suspend mode. Do you by chance have a ThinkPad? Those were the affected IIRC.

[KastenKopf]

No I have a TravelMate. But thanks for the hint, I'll search their site a bit...

[gav616]

the kad disconnecting bug has been in wine for ages
http://bugs.winehq.o...bug.cgi?id=5774

its like the devs dont wont to fix it..

its a shame coz i hate aMule..
