Darwinia doesn't start at all...

Postby w4nderlust » Thu Mar 30, 2006 6:33 pm

Hi everyone.
I downloaded the 1.3.0 bin from the darwinia website, but it just doesn't start. My PC is an Athlon64 3000+, 1gb 400mhz ram, 2 sata disks 300+160gb, nvidia fx6200 128mb video card. The system is running Ubuntu dapper drake (flight 5, updated several times), the amd64 version. the kernel is 2.6.15 x86_64.

if i run the script the output is this:

Code: Select all

w4nderlust@loki:~$ sh darwinia-full-1.3.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Darwinia full 1.3.0......................................................................
w4nderlust@loki:~$


or

Code: Select all

w4nderlust@loki:~$ sh darwinia-full-1.3.0.sh --keep
Creating directory darwinia
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Darwinia full 1.3.0.................................................................................................................................Extraction failed.
............Terminated
w4nderlust@loki:~$


Is it a problem of the 64-bit kernel version? what else can it be?

i also tried to run it with sudo:

Code: Select all

w4nderlust@loki:~$ sudo sh darwinia-full-1.3.0.sh --keep
Password:
Creating directory darwinia
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Darwinia full 1.3.0......................................................................
w4nderlust@loki:~$ cd darwinia/bin/Linux/x86/
w4nderlust@loki:~/darwinia/bin/Linux/x86$ ls
darwinia
w4nderlust@loki:~/darwinia/bin/Linux/x86$ ./darwinia
.
./darwinia: line 39: ./lib/darwinia.bin.x86: No such file or directory
w4nderlust@loki:~/darwinia/bin/Linux/x86$


can somone help me to make it running?

P.S. the cd was in the driver... if someone asks :P

Running the installer with --keep isn't the same thing as installing it, because the files will not be in the correct places, and it won't have copied the data up from the CD.

The installer is a Loki installer, so it ought to run a graphical or text interface after the initial uncompress. If that's not coming up, then we need to debug a little further to try and find out why. Try the following:

Code: Select all

$ sh darwinia-full-1.3.0.sh --keep
$ cd darwinia
$ ./setup -v0 > debug.log

Then please post debug.log here.

One thing to check is that you have libgtk-1.2.so.0 installed, which under Debian is available from the package libgtk1.2

libgtk is isntalled.
i tried to make the debug.log like you told me ( ./setup was ./setaup.sh ) but the debug file is empty :(

I had the same problem with the installation... with the debug.log also being empty after I followed the above steps (using the beta 1.4 mind you). Also running an amd64 with x86_64 ubuntu/kernel.

I dug around the darwinia directory a bit after running the installer with "--keep" and it seems that the setup.sh script is the one that's crashing. After some more poking around I was able to get it to work by copying the install files out of setup.data into the created darwinia directory:

Code: Select all

stoned_cat@sigma:~/$ cd darwinia
stoned_cat@sigma:~/darwinia$ cp -rv setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/* ./
`setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/glibc-2.1/xsu' -> `./glibc-2.1/xsu'
`setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/glibc-2.1/darwinia' -> `./glibc-2.1/darwinia'
`setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/glibc-2.1/setup.gtk' -> `./glibc-2.1/setup.gtk'
`setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup' -> `./setup'
`setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/uninstall' -> `./uninstall'
stoned_cat@sigma:~/darwinia$ sudo ./setup
