Aborted - On Startup

[sea4th]

I am getting this on 2 different systems.

An old 233MHz Pentium with 300Meg running RH7.2 but updated based on a post for getting RH9 to work with SEQ. Since this OS is old I installed a fresh FC3 on a 800MHz AMD with 500M and used the showeq-5.1.0.0-pre1 tarball that Purple posted last week. This only runs SEQ and some PERL stuff behind a NAT router so I run in root. If I break it, I rebuild it and it has been working well for several years now on the 7.2 system with a KDE GUI. I feel lost in FC3.

Both systems are starting up and detecting the client but when it detects "Zone: EntryCode: Server" it aborts.

I had not updated the spells and text files recently so I copied DOD versions to SEQ and still get the Aborted message.

So I also installed freshmaps and still get the Aborted message.

I don't know how to make the spiffy scrolling text within the post so it is long and I took out player names and scrambled the player specific information.

Any suggestions on next steps to help isolate this?

If you have gbd installed do:



$ gdb showeq


That should net you a gbd prompt. Something like:



GNU gdb 6.3

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

(gdb)


At that prompt, type "run" and showeq will start. Go about doing whatever makes it crash then come back and you'll be at the gdb prompt again. Type "bt" and cut and paste what it says up here.

[purple]

Also, upgrade to 5.1 final from that pre-version as well.

Here is 2nd dump from current code release. I used FC3 since it is newer and on an faster cpu. I crashed it several times and the failure point is not the smae - eg can be client and can be server. The allocate seems consistent and the list is 24 long each time.

When I had two EQ instances running, one on 192.168.1.12 and another on ditto.15 I would get namy CRC errors since SEQ was trapping packets from both clients. I put the ipaddresss swithch in but gdb took it. So I shut down the ditto.15 instance - I will have to put the showeq command line into a string to filter only on the 12 address. Have to read up on that one.

Turn on session tracking maybe. Network->Session tracking.

To pass commandline parameters to gdb, just do run --ip-address=192.168.1.100 (or whatever) also.

Network -> Session Tracking has been enabled and the Aborts have stopped and so has the decoding. Before I turned on Session Tracking I would decode a map, get skittles and then the Abort message would appear. Now I just see MTOD: and nothing else - but it doesn't crash anymore. I enabled logging of unknown data and am getting some unkonown op codes. I see my chracter names and recognizable data but not anythine for maps or skittles.

What do you need next from me to advance the trouble shooting?

Unknown Logging isn't for helping you. It's for identifying new packets. Cut and paste the output of seq when Session Tracking is turned on so we can see your pcap filters. It sounds like it's not following to the zone server.

Just as a test, you might want to grab my FC3 RPM from http://fedora.showeq.org and install it (grab the maps rpm if you want too). Then run /usr/bin/showeq and see if that works better for you. Once you're done the test, you can remove the rpm with rpm -e showeq if you wish. Doing that might help determine if the problem is in your build process though, or if it's a bug or network issue.

This has been traced back to bad interaction with the Microsoft Teredo product which provides ipv6 to ipv4 gatewaying. There will be a new version of showeq which properly ignores this soon which should hopefully fix your problem.

Version 5.2.0.0 seems to have fixed this problem. I could get 5.1.0.0 to decode if I started the showeq at the same time as I entered the zone. I could usually zone a few times until it lost sync and the pcap filter would remain empty. When I get a working decode I also see a string of information in the pcap filter as viewed from the network diagnositcs window.

I tried the RPM package but it gave the same decoding problems so I continue to use the tarball and console build instructions.

Thanks for the solution - I noticed there is a IP6 driver in the windows xp network properties. I will try this code with and without the IP6 configuration and report back after I return from travel next week.
