Linux: Error when clicking "Download" button

[Leshuguita]

Describe the bug Just installed it, following the instructions from https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/wiki/Installation-Process#arch-linux, and an error pops up when clicking the Download button, saying "The type initializer for 'Libgit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception"

Platform

• OS: Arch Linux
• AM2RLauncher Version: 2.3.0

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Log file AM2RLauncher.log

When was the last time you -Syud? If it wasn't some time recently, can you try to -Syu, reboot, and see if it still happens? Also, from where did you get the launcher? The release on github, some aur package (if yes, which) or from flathub?

[Leshuguita]

I'd last -Syud yesterday, before installing everyting. Still happens after another -Syu and a reboot, with both the am2rlauncher and am2rlauncher-git packages

[Miepee]

Hm, need to check later whether I can replicate. In the meantime, would you be able to test the following: Clone the Repo, and modify the following line in AM2RLauncher.csproj

-     <PackageReference Include="LibGit2Sharp" Version="0.26.2" />
+     <PackageReference Include="LibGit2Sharp" Version="0.27.0-preview-0182 " />

Then try to compile it (instructions should be both in the Wiki, as well as in the PKGBUILD of am2rlauncher-git)

[Leshuguita]

Still not working, but different error: "could not load ssl libraries" Logs: AM2RLauncher.log

[Miepee]

That sounds like https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/2003 According to the thread there, using 0.27.0-preview-0182 should fix it. What if for compiling, instead of using -r ubuntu.18.04-x64, you use -r ubuntu.20.04-x64?

(A workaround would probably be to install libssl-compat or however its called, but non-arch distros don't offer those, so it'd be nice to find a proper workaround that works on all linux distros instead of just arch)

[Leshuguita]

Didn't work either, same error. It managed to start the download after installing the openssl-1.1 package, though I do not know if that's option on other distros

[Miepee]

It probably is, but I wouldn't rely on it. I guess something that can be tried as well is to just check all the 0.27 preview packages here and see if any one of them works? (and obviously remove openssl-1.1 before attempting) https://www.nuget.org/packages/LibGit2Sharp/#versions-body-tab

[rehtlaw]

any updates on this? the error still persists

[Miepee]

As this is an upstream issue, the error will persist until it's fixed upstream. Updates will more likely be found in the linked libgit2sharp issue from above than here.

[Miepee]

@rehtlaw @Leshuguita I've updated to the newest libgit2sharp release, can you pull down the artifacts and see if the error persists? (https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/actions/runs/4667573051)

[Leshuguita]

Nope, it works now!

[Miepee]

Nope, it works now!

Do you have openssl-1.1 installed? If yes, can you please remove it and try without it again?

[rehtlaw]

I made sure to delete openssl-1.1 before, and it also works for me.

[Miepee]

Thank you! If anyone still has that error, feel free to reopen this issue.

Issue (hopefully) fixed due to c86dee019dbc86ff3d9ba8ccab706537289a2e1d

Hello,

I am also trying to install AM2R on Linux Mint and I am getting the same error. I have added a photo the error.

Edit: I've also found the log file, here it is: AM2RLauncher.log

[jjhen99]

I've cloned the repo and changed the libgit2sharp dependency to v0.29.0 like here in my pull request. I then ran dotnet publish AM2RLauncher.Gtk -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:DebugType=embedded -c release -r ubuntu.18.04-x64 --no-self-contained -o LinuxBuild in AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher .

I then get the following error:

"/home/jj/Documents/AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher/MainForm/MainForm.Events.cs(268,64): error CS0117: 'CloneOptions' does not contain a definition for 'OnTransferProgress' [/home/jj/Documents/AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher.csproj]"

I've tried the same using -r ubuntu.20.04-x64 instead but I get the same error.

Never mind, I changed the dependency back to version 0.27.2 and it seems to be compiling fine. However, when I try to run AM2RLauncher in the LinuxBuild folder it doesn't seem to be running. Any advice on this?

[Miepee]

Not unless I can see any log info.

[jjhen99]

I've actually switched to the flatpak version and I am trying to solve some issues with that at the moment, but here is the log file when I run AM2RLauncher in the LinuxBuild folder if you would like to take a look anyway. AM2RLauncher.log
