Any crashes or odd behaviour under CrossOver yet?

[Painkiller Jane]

i tried crossover in winxp mode and emule starts nicely but noticeably slower than under 'pure' wine.
when double clicking on a file to see the sources the gui freezes and crossover starts eating 100% cpu time. happens doing other stuff too.
didn't bother to wait longer than 2 mins to see if it ever recovers from eating 100% cpu and starts showing the expected results.
well, so much for crossover in winxp mode.
someday i might try it in w98 mode...

Oops, I should have told you to forget WinXP mode and dll's in CrossOver. The first time I tried eMule with CrossOver I tried that, and like you, I found out pretty quick that it sucked. Win95/Win98 is the way to go. I'm eager to see if you'll still have the stability problems using Win98 mode and dll's (you only need riched20.dll native, the builtin comctl32 should be used), or whether it might just be caused by something about your system/OS environment.

About CryptoAPI, the word from the devs is that it's pretty much non-existent on Wine, and nobody seems to know anything more about that guy who said he was gonna implement it with libgcrypt on the backend. So it looks like Backup Plan A is in effect. I need to write a script to generate the RSA key pair.

Still picking apart CrossOver... the problem is that CrossOver actually uses quite a different dll setup than stock Wine, so narrowing it all down to discover exactly what it is we need for eMule is quite tedious.

ok. here we go...

cxoffice is CrossOver Office Version 2.1.0 (October 21, 2003) according to README.

so basically not so much diff from the winxp experience. well, i got a crash instead of a 100%cpu load freeze.

Remove the bolded line, then try again. That shouldn't be there under CrossOver.

crashes, right before displaying the splash screen now. window is already there but no emule logo, etc. in it. weird.
will reboot an see if there're changes...

-pkj

ps.: what version is your riched20.dll?

Heh... you have the worst luck! It's like your machine is from a parallel universe or something.

Can't figure out how to view my riched20.dll's version number under Linux, but it's 298,768 bytes. I took it straight off my Win98 SE CD. Maybe you have the first edition?

[Painkiller Jane]

seems the last cxoffice crash left the system damaged.
after reboot it starts emule with no problems.
everything seems to work except the double click on a file in transfer.
that always causes the crash.

my riched20 is the very same size. let's assume they are identical.
to make sure you could md4, md5 or crc32 the dll. so we can compare the hashes.

wrt the WSA... bla errors i get after a while:
assuming that the reason for the error is a handle/socket leak or an event that triggers the chain of wsa... errors i guess with emule's recommended settings for w98 (100 sources/file, 50 cons max., 5 cons max pers 5 secs) it will run quite some time.
using the recommended settings for w2k/xp (350 sources/file, 450 cons max, 20 cons max per 5 secs) will certainly cause the error a lot sooner.

It's crashing? Is it doing so in the same place?

That could be it... have you tried the Win98 settings yet?

riched20.dll is the same (md5: 36E379ACA69E2F37582F69FB0DC152A9)

excuse me for being too cryptic before.
cxoffice/emule crashes always in the same place (0x004ddbbb (emule.exe..text+0xdcbbb in emule.exe) when i double click on a file in transfer so that the item expands in the list and shows the file's sources.
after the crash it's impossible to start emule again and i have to reboot the machine to get it working again. annoying!

besides that if i don't touch anything the whole thing freezes after a while.

Quote

yes, i did. but like i said above emule freezes after a while.
except for the gfx glitches the wine-workaround-patched emule worked a lot better under 'pure' wine in xp mode for me.

anyways, i've been testing the native linux emules and they don't work very stable either. except for mldonkey which runs for 7 days without problems so far. so i stick with that for now.

I'll try expanding the sources next download to see if I can duplicate it.

Yeah I haven't had pleasant experiences with the native *nix Mules, that's really how I got the idea for this puzzle of a project. ;-)

At this point I'm suspecting a hardware or driver problem may be the cause of some of the odd behaviors you're seeing. Have you ever run Memtest86 on your RAM, or tested your CPU with SiSoft Sandra or similar? Those are what helped me single out my motherboard recently as the cause of system instabilities I was having. I also recommend running the diagnostics from your hard drive manufacturer. If everything comes out clean, it could be your NIC or drivers. I once had a cheap NIC in my main machine that didn't like eMule at all, it just couldn't handle the beating.

usually that's what i'd say too. but:
i setup that box like 4 weeks ago and ran all kind of stress tests before i installed suse 9.0. before that i had w2k on that box running emule without problems for ~1 year. so i'm pretty sure the hardware is not the problem and up to the task.
as for the NIC/driver being a problem: mldonkey is kinda rough on the NIC, handling several thousand edonkey/emule/overnet sources and a few bittorrents without any problems whatsoever. if my setup or the hardware really were an issue why do mldonkey, the ircd, and a few eggdrops run without showing signs of erratic behaviour?

anyways, in the dark woods of linux lib versions and all that stuff no one can be really sure that all the libs are the right/working ones which cxoffice/wine prefers to work with.

i really wish someone else would enlighten us with his experience with wine/cxoffice/emule. just to see if you just got lucky running emule or the probs are really with me. haven't seen you mentioning if wine/cxoffice emule works on your setup for longer times (30+ hours).

Very true, and it's probably also the same reason why the native *nix Mules are flaky for some but fine for others.

For enlightenment, I really wish someone on the Wine/CrossOver/WineX teams would make a nice map of all the differences between their distributions.

The reason I think we haven't heard from many more people trying our Howto is probably because they're either waiting for us to iron out the quirks or they're turned off by the length of the Howto. Once we finally settle on a method (ie. Win98-based or WinXP-based) I'll script most of the technical tasks in the Howto.

On the other hand, maybe people have tried it and had good luck with it...... naaaah, that couldn't be it.

Sorry... unfortunately I've had other projects this week that have kept me from running an extended test of X-over/eMule, but I'm finally free for the weekend so I'm firing it up now.

Okay, I'm definitely having weird behavior on 0.42e with CrossOver while expanding an item in the Transfer list to display the sources, but it's not crashing on me like it does with you.

If there's more than one item in your download queue and you click to expand any item appearing after the first item, the item expands fine but the contents are displayed at the *top* of the download queue window before the first item. Weird. But you can expand and collapse items fine otherwise, and everything seems perfectly functional.

I don't think this was happening with 0.42d under Crossover because I definitely would have noticed.

[mindpirate]

Here's my script for generating a private 384-bit RSA key for secure user identification. Make sure you have the OpenSSL package installed first. It's shipped with all major distros.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Generates a 384-bit RSA private key for eMule

test ! -e /usr/bin/openssl && echo 'Sorry, you must have OpenSSL installed on your system to generate an RSA key.' && exit
openssl genrsa 384 | perl -p -i -e 's/^.*PRIVATE KEY.*//s' > config/cryptkey.dat
echo
echo 'RSA private key successfully generated and written to config/cryptkey.dat. You may now use the secure user identification option in eMule.'

Save it as "rsagen.sh" in your eMule installation directory under Wine, then open a console in that directory and make it executable:

chmod u+x rsagen.sh

Then run it:

./rsagen.sh

That's it, cryptkey.dat will have been created in the /config subdirectory of your Wine/eMule installation directory. Before launching eMule, make sure you've patched the registry as explained in the Howto. You should then be able to use eMule's Secure User ID. ;-)

P.S. - If CrossOver isn't on your path, you can launch the registry editor from /opt/cxoffice/bin/regedit

P.P.S. - The registry patch that works for Win2K/XP registries apparently doesn't work for Win98 registries I just discovered. Guess I'll have to make a separate patch.

Just updated the Howto with the keygen script info and removed the Secure User ID issue from the Known Issues section. 1 down, 6 to go.

[mindpirate]

Updated the Launching Emule section. I somehow lost a chunk of it in some previous revision during editing, so I had to re-write what was lost. It's a lot clearer now anyhow.

I'm currently working on automating everything in the Installing Emule section with a script.

Thanks for this very good written How-To for eMule on Linux. I will test it as soon as I got some spare time and will then comment the results.

Groovy.

I think we'll be moving the method outlined in the Howto from WinXP to Win98 soon, as soon as I can work out what CrossOver is doing that's Wine's not. The WinXP method just isn't working out.
