  • Issues with filebox generation

    From nugax@21:1/107 to All on Tue Nov 13 23:47:42 2018
    Is anyone having a problem generating a filebox on linux?

    Everytime I try to, it crashes to console and doesnt create the node entry.

    I have seen this too with windows 32 bit but it seems hit and miss. What you can do is create the filebox dir then go into mystic and state the path when you set up the echonode. That seems to work. The issue appears to be when the directory is being created by Mystic but I can't repro it consistently as yet.

    No, I create them everytime I create a new echomail node. But I don't use the default filebox creation, because I had a system going before that feature was available. I have my own system.

    However, I did once accidentally select the default filebox creation and got a crash when I tried to aboart (answeering "no" to "create filebox?"). I thought it was because I bailed and didn't think much of it, but it could be related to the problem described here. Manually specifying the filebox path, instead of using the default works flawlessly every time. Answer "no" to creating the default filebox, then specifying the path.

    ... It's not the money I want, it's the stuff.

    It happens every time on the hub 4 win32 system. What I've been doing is entering everything else, then Esc out to save it, then go back in to set up the filebox. Mystic -cfg will crash, but after restarting, will have created the directory. Then I just type it in.

    Kind of a pain, bur it works...

    It actually creates the directory but crashes mystic cfg. I just went and
    typed it in. You also lose all changes.

    This happens every tine for me, whether I do it sudo, user, or root on Debian
    9 : 64 bit.

    It’s definitely a bug.

    I've had that problem since upgrading to this version of mystic. Weirdly enough, I randomly tried to make a filebox folder, and it worked. I didn't change anything in that area since I first installed a39...
