Web archive is down - Githubissues

tinkicker commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've seen a few issues here, including one just two days ago about broken links on web archive. I'm here because in setting up an application in Winetricks on Linux Mint I've run into dead links for corefonts and .net installs, which aren't really dead...the server is down. I see that apparently winetricks draws all of these sorts of packages from the web archive, but in reading comments on isitdownrightnow.com I see that (including right now) the site is down quite a bit and for indeterminate lengths of time (like now...hour and a half so far).

I'm sure it's been asked ad nauseum, but are there any other server systems from where Winetricks, Inc. could store/draw the various packages? Maybe two or three storage solutions to guard against this sort of thing. How about Mega? Fortunately I've got another production machine I'd already setup, but judging by the many server down situations documented, I'm dead in the water on this setup until somebody turns the lights back on at Wayback Machine Central.

Thanks for reading.

Vouch that, i have been trying to install arial font through winetricks, but couldn't because i get the error:

warning: Downloading https://web.archive.org/web/2000/https://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/distfiles/5e/arial32.exe failed

Even though the link is clearly working.

Chiitoo commented 1 year ago

Usually the archive is the secondary option, and which is the case with these fonts for example.

That said, a handful of years ago, Gentoo Linux changed the distfile layout [1], and recently compatibility links to the old were removed.

While the URLs are fixed in 'git master' of Winetricks, some mirrors were still carrying files that should have been removed already a while ago, until quite recently from the looks of it, so for example in the case of 'arial32.exe', the archive is the only option right now.

The archive is working for me right now at least, so perhaps it's a problem on the route instead (or very intermittent).

https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0075.html

tinkicker commented 1 year ago

The archive came back up for me exactly two hours after it went down, so I suspect most likely it was server maintenance. I was able to get to the main web archive page all through that time though, and there was nothing posted there about any downtime of any sort whatsoever. 😒

strycore commented 1 year ago

Gentoo doesn't ship arial32.exe anymore. They haven't referenced the file here: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/media-fonts/corefonts/Manifest

You can replace the Gentoo link with https://github.com/pushcx/corefonts/raw/master/arial32.exe

Also, downloading archive.org URLs can cause problems when wget2 is used, see: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/pull/2130

strycore commented 1 year ago

Lutris now ships a patched version with the Gentoo URL replaced with the Github URL for arial32.exe

strycore commented 1 year ago

Hosting the files on Internet Archive (not The Wayback Machine) would be a good idea.

I got the same error for trying to install VC_redist.x86.exe

I also experienced this error when trying to install RDR2 and the Rockstar Games Launcher. I've found a workaround by editing the winetricks script directly, which in my case is located at /home/$USER/.local/share/lutris/runtime/winetricks/winetricks, and reverting back to the URLs directly from Microsoft instead of web.archive. Seems like download directly from Microsoft is working (again).

We are also experiencing this issue for Arial and vcrun2019 when attempting to install the launcher for the video game Star Citizen using Lutris. As a workaround, users have been able to download the files manually to their respective winetricks cache directories before re-trying, or they create a separate dummy prefix with a generous timeout value to prime the cache.

for example:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-sc-preload" WINETRICKS_DOWNLOADER_TIMEOUT=60 winetricks --force arial vcrun2019 win10

lutris install log https://pastebin.com/vVNHkpbw

given enough time a 302 redirect is observed for arial:

Chiitoo commented 1 year ago

Logs of the run would be nice to see from people affected.

I'm wondering if some people are just hitting the un-updated URLs issue rather than the archive being down.

Also, indeed. kind of unusual for the archive to be so down.

Yes, the file 'arial32.exe' no longer exists on that mirror.

Not sure why it is not trying the archive instead for you (or if it is just not shown there).

You could download the file manually from the archive [1] if/when it works for you, and place it under the directory you see in the logs:

/home/codespace/.cache/winetricks/corefonts

I'd have no idea how to manually install it. I'm a linux noob and don't know what files and folders everything would need to go under. Also, I'm trying this on a Steam Deck so I'd have to hope that my files go into the correct CompatData folder. I've had my device on for over 24-hours so I don't know if that'll dictate where my files go.

Could it be the issue with Debian distros? because when I tried to download Arial font on Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Debian, all are getting same issue. What Linux distro are you using?

BloxedRetro,

I've had my device on for over 24-hours so I don't know if that'll dictate where my files go.

I don't have any personal experience with Steam Deck, but if you can find the log file, or find the info elsewhere, I'd imagine it also downloads the file to a specific path, similar to the log in a previous post:

Executing cd /home/deck/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/vcrun2019

So there the Winetricks cache is under /home/deck/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/. The actual executable for vcrun would be under that vcrun2019 directory.

chengstark,

I'm using Gentoo Linux, but I don't think that should matter, especially if you can not download the file even through that link directly using a web browser (or 'wget' or 'curl' or other).

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

I'm a linux noob so I'm sorry but I don't understand what you said or how I could do it. All I really want to do is get an exe working so I can mod a video game.

Never mind, I have found the executable for Vcrun2019 with the directory you sent. What should I do from there?

I see. I was able to download files from archive links via browser perfectly, but sometimes the responsibility of the wayback machine's is quite slow for me. Maybe it could be the reason

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

I'm gonna rephrase my last question the wording was weird.

What should I do now that I've found the executable?

strycore commented 1 year ago

I pushed a patched version of Winetricks that fixes 2 things:

Removed any URL to fonts hosted by Gentoo and replaced them with Github hosted files
Added the patch from PR #2130 which solves the Archive.org downloads on Flatpak

Restart Lutris with the -f flag to force an update: flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris -d -f

Chiitoo commented 1 year ago

I kind of forgot about having read of that 'wget2' issue. I did reproduce the problem by manually using 'wget2' to download from the archive.

So, if everyone that are having this issue are using Flatpak and/or Lutris (or 'wget2' for some other reason), it makes a lot more sense.

AndnixSH,

It has always been kind of slow for me, and I imagine it is intentional due to the amount of traffic they likely see.

In any case, it does seem like this is potentially an issue with the behaviour of current releases of 'wget2'.

BloxedRetro,

Apologies for the delayed response, sleep got to me. ^^;

If your use case is identical to the others here, I guess you might have the

/home/deck/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/vcrun2019

path as well.

You would want to put the files manually downloaded from the archive there, and then simply re-run the install. Note that due to the issue with 'wget2', you may have a very small files there, named 'VC_redist.x86.exe' for example, and they are just text files with html in them. The real size of that file should be around 14 MiB.

That said, if the Flatpak thingy has been modified for this, I suppose it should work after updating it, per the previous comment [1].

Flatpak and Lutris are separate projects, and I personally have no experience of using them at all, so I can not give very detailed support on using them without doing more research myself.

It seems 'wget2' got a change pushed a few days ago as well, which fixes the downloads for my testing at least:

* src/wget.c (http_create_request): Use 'Accept: */*' for single file downloads

It's fine, dw. Sorry if I seemed pushy.

Web archive is down #2136 (comment)

By the files, do you mean like just replace the .exe I downloaded from the link? And also would I have to install manually myself or could I run the Lutris install and it'd see that the full file is there?

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

I replaced the .exe file in the cache you gave me however I'm still getting the same error as I did before when running the winetricks installation

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

Can I get a response? I've been trying this for several days now and it's taking up much of the week off I have.

AndnixSH commented 1 year ago

You can just run the .exe directly then install Vcrun2019, and it will be installed, just like did with the Arial32 one (Winetricks won't be able to detect if it was installed or not)

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

How can I do that though since I need Winetricks to open the exe

AndnixSH commented 1 year ago

Double click on the exe file, just like what you do on Windows. Not sure if it works with Vcrun2019 tho

It opens up Protontricks when I try this. Do I just find whatever game is linked under the compatdata prefix I'm using?

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

Or would I open with a different program?

Open a different program and choose Wine

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

I don't think I have wine

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

AndnixSH commented 1 year ago

Oh. Try selecting Lutris from the "Open with..." dialog. If it's not there, maybe try adding exe in Lutris interface and run from there. I'm sadly not familar with it. With Wine, you can run .exe directly

I've just downloaded Wine. Should it work out of the box or should I not risk it and simply go with Lutris?

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

It says that setup is successful but the application I am trying to run is still failing. Not sure if this is the reason though. Somebody mentioned about the temp folders being blocked. Would a prefix contain temp folders if anyone knows?

Chiitoo commented 1 year ago

BloxedRetro, at this point it would most likely be best if you tried the Lutris support channels, such as their forums [1].

I'm sure there will be a lot more people there who will be able to assist you, on top of being more familiar with your particular set-up. : ]

This issue tracker is not meant for "live support" like this, especially when it's not exactly about Winetricks itself.

I put my game directory in there but now IT'S GONE

I can't find the game files at all. Is that normal for Lutris or Steam to do? Every other file seems fine.

BloxedRetro commented 1 year ago

Literally everything else but what I wanted to do is working now.

strycore commented 1 year ago

That's because you restarted Lutris and got the updated version of Winetricks.
