Some errors while running on Linux

[the-sharp-shooter]

So I got SteamBot working perfectly well on a Lubuntu Virtual Machine (w/ gui) with "mono SteamBot.exe". So I procedded to get it working on a Debian VPS where I tried to "sudo apt-get install mono-complete". I can run "mono SteamBot.exe" but I get the errors:

WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is unavailable.
Using default runtime: v1.1.4322

** (SteamBot.exe:8616): WARNING **: The class System.ConsoleColor could not be loaded, used in mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: A type load exception has occurred.

Not sure what to do now, I couldn't come with anything really usefull about this from googling and maybe you can give me a little help here. I can change the Distro to either CentOS or Ubuntu, if that matters

Thanks

Compile the latest mono from source. The ones that come with ubuntu and debian repos are outdated.

[the-sharp-shooter]

Compiled mono 3.0.7 sucessfully after a few hours of scrolling checks and stuff... Now it starts just fine, at the first tries it asked for the SteamGuard code which I was able to insert but failed to authenticate after that, it always asked for the SteamGuard code, every time and not just the first. Now I restarted the VPS and don't even get the SteamGuard check anymore. The settings.json are copy/pasted from where it worked so there are no typos. What else can be causing this ?

[waylaidwanderer]

Urgh, I remember that error. I was never able to figure out what caused it either... Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Why not check the response for the authentication data, see what's causing it to fuck up?

[the-sharp-shooter]

I don't understand what I'm suposed to do to "check the response for the authentication data". Maybe you could guide me through that, please.

My log is:

[waylaidwanderer]

Basically go to the authentication function, and at the part just after the response is sent, type "Console.WriteLine(response)" or whatever the variable is.

[the-sharp-shooter]

I found "log.Warn ("Authentication failed, retrying in 2s...");" under "void HandleSteamMessage (CallbackMsg msg)" in SteamBot\Bot.cs. Where exacly am I suposed to add "Console.WriteLine(response)" ?

[waylaidwanderer]

SteamTrade project, in SteamWeb.cs

[the-sharp-shooter]

I've tried to put the line in several places in SteamWeb.cs until it compiled without errors. When I tried it the bot actually started and came online but had the "not online" bug when trying to trade. Now it fails to authenticate when starting again, either with the sabe Debug or Release build... thats weird...

Sorry for being such a newbie but it would be easier to know exactly in which line to add "Console.WriteLine(response)"

[waylaidwanderer]

Actually upon looking at the function it's not as straightforward...

However, I'm pretty sure this is where things are getting screwed up:

    try
    {
        authResult = userAuth.AuthenticateUser (
            steamid: client.SteamID.ConvertToUInt64 (),
            sessionkey: HttpUtility.UrlEncode (cryptedSessionKey),
            encrypted_loginkey: HttpUtility.UrlEncode (cryptedLoginKey),
            method: "POST"
            );
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        token = null;
        return false;
    }

Something is going wrong and the token is returning null. I had the same issue; see https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamBot/issues/191

Try changing

    catch (Exception)
    {
        token = null;
        return false;
    }

to

    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
        token = null;
        return false;
    }

so that we can see what the error is.

[the-sharp-shooter]

Thanks. here we go...

I have absolutely no clue what those errors mean, so please help me out :$

[the-sharp-shooter]

I made a debug build with Xamarin that actually logs in sucessfully but just sometimes... if that matters.

[elipsitz]

Having this problem too, unfortunately.

[the-sharp-shooter]

Can anyone give us a help here ?

[the-sharp-shooter]

No mercy for Linux :(

[waylaidwanderer]

I just bought a new VPS (running Debian 6) yesterday. Compiled latest mono from source (3.0.10) and it worked fine. No authentication errors.

Try getting the latest SteamBot build off of this repo, and also update mono just in case.

[cwhelchel]

@waylaidwanderer Could you write what you've done up for linux in a wiki page? I would but I haven't had the time to setup a Linux VM.

[waylaidwanderer]

@cwhelchel I'll do it tomorrow, when I have time. The thing about linux installs is that there are sometimes different methods/steps you have to take, so atm I can only really write a guide for Debian/Ubuntu since they are similar.

[cwhelchel]

@waylaidwanderer Thanks. Anything is better than nothing.

[waylaidwanderer]

@cwhelchel Just finished writing it. You can find it in the wiki page here.

[cwhelchel]

@waylaidwanderer Looks great. Linked it from the wiki "home" page. I'm gonna try running your shell script on my Ubuntu VM and see how it goes.

Does your guide assume that you built SteamBot.exe in windows? I'll look into setting up MonoDevelop on my VM to build. I only bring this up b/c the guide doesn't mention building SteamBot in Linux.

[waylaidwanderer]

@cwhelchel The guide assumes SteamBot.exe already exists, yeah. Building SteamBot on Linux is easy though - you just need to install Monodevelop or Xamarin first. If you'd like, I can add a section on that too.

[the-sharp-shooter]

Thanks again. I will reinstall the VPS totally and rebuild SteamBot from the latest version.

[oojava]

I would like to see that section as I found it difficult to get it working.

@the-sharp-shooter Can this be closed now?

[ysmael85]

After hours trying to set up the bot i get this any help?
