Latest nightly build will not launch

[andreimariusb]

For some reason, if I install the latest nightly build it will not launch. Shift-P-D will just print a Success! message (like Shift-Shift-Space). I have a K3 (keyboard).

I have reverted to the last one (before today) and it launches as it should.

I cannot test it on K3. Could you post the content of crash.log in kindlepdfviewer folder after it crashes?

It looks like a serious problem. I have deprecated the latest build and re-upload it when fix this problem.

It seems that koreader-base doesn't contain the gettext module which cannot be true unless that your koreader-base is an old version. Could you delete the kindlepdfviewer folder and make a fresh installation of the latest build? Sometimes it do happen when there is a koreader-base process running in the background and it will prevent unzip to override the koreader-base file. BTW. you can backup the history directory in the kindlepdfviewer directory before the delete. It contains all document-specific settings and can be used to restore those settings after installation.

[andreimariusb]

Nothing changes. I get a "Success!" message and the crash.log is identical.

[chrox]

I got it. The gettext.lua is missing in the package. You can download the file https://raw.github.com/koreader/kindlepdfviewer/master/gettext.lua and drop it to your kindlepdfviewer directory or wait for tomorrow's build.

I did it and now the crash is showing this:

lua config error: ./reader.lua:108: error opening input device : 2

[chrox]

The ./reader.lua:108 has some difficulty to open the device of slider. I have no idea how does this come out. Probably it's a problem of the code reorganization. If so @hwhw or @houqp could help you.

[hwhw]

that will probably take me a day or two. But I'll dig into it.

[houqp]

yeah, it's caused by API breakage of koreader-base, the slider is renamed to fake_events

[houqp]

closing for now so @hwhw can concentrate working on FFI binding ;p

the new version "kindlepdfviewer-nightly-20130415" crashes when opening the epub. already tried it with different books and always the same. which may be the problem?

[chrox]

Could you post the crash.log file in the kindlepdfviewer directory after the crash? It could be easier to locate the bug from there.

[mayabtlaloc]

ok, the crash.log file contains the following:

lua config error: ./crereader.lua:264: bad argument #1 to 'drawCurrentPage' (blitbuffer expected, got userdata)

[houqp]

Hi @mayabtlaloc , thanks for the report, I have sent a patch in a new PR

[mayabtlaloc]

ok. thanks
