[Debian buster] Launcher not working

[mole99]

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for working on the new Unvanquished version and the launcher!

I immediately downloaded the new launcher from the official website and tried to execute it.

My system and qt version:

uname -a Linux debian-dell 4.18.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.20-2 (2018-11-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid Release: testing Codename: buster

qmake --version QMake version 3.1 Using Qt version 5.11.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

The result is as follows:

With output from the terminal:

./updater QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_num_locks QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_set_id_callback QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_set_locking_callback QSslSocket: cannot resolve ERR_free_strings QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_new_null QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_push QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_free QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_num QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_pop_free QSslSocket: cannot resolve sk_value QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSL_library_init QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSL_load_error_strings QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv3_client_method QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv23_client_method QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv3_server_method QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv23_server_method QSslSocket: cannot resolve X509_STORE_CTX_get_chain QSslSocket: cannot resolve OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf QSslSocket: cannot resolve OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLeay QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLeay_version QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_num_locks QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_set_id_callback QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_set_locking_callback QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_library_init QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSLv23_client_method QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function sk_num QMutex: destroying locked mutex QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_num_locks QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_set_id_callback QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function CRYPTO_set_locking_callback QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function ERR_free_strings

Digging into it, it seems Debian has dropped these symbols completely from the packages:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=797926

Installing libssl1.0-dev should resolve those issues:

sudo apt install libssl1.0-dev

The output is now as follows:

./updater QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv3_client_method QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv3_server_method

This seems to be the same issue as #17, which shouldn't be a blocking issue.

Starting the launcher, it still looks the same.

Disregarding the look of the launcher I downloaded the game, but after finishing the download a new error shows up, saying that it can't extract the update:

After manually extracting linux-amd64.zip under /home/leo/.local/share/unvanquished I was able to start the game by executing the daemon engine.

Do I need any additional packages to make the launcher work in Debian?

If any specific log files etc. are necessary, just tell me.

Are you sure you downloaded the right updater? The executable currently is called updater2, not updater. Also just from interface it looks like you downloaded the old version.

The unvanquished.net home page and download page seem to have the right version. Where did you find it?

[mole99]

My bad! It seems like my browser cached the site, which was why it pointed to the old URL.

Proof that I'm not crazy (bottom left corner):

After clearing the cache + cookies it now shows me the correct download link.

Thank you for your help, the launcher now works like a charm!
