Issue with SAFE Launcher on Ubuntu MATE 16.04

[lothendriel]

Hello folks! I am having an issue with the launcher on Ubuntu MATE 16.04. I did the pull and tried doing safe_launcher in console and I got errors. I made a copy of the DEBUG at the end if that’ll help? Thanks folks!

[happybeing]

Try safe-launcher and if that doesn’t work please post the errors.

[lothendriel]

I will try that when I get home. I think I did try it but didn’t notice it do anything, but I will try again. Like I said I do have the DEBUG dump it did after i entered safe_launcher so if what you said doesn’t work I’ll post that. Thanks for the response

[lothendriel]

Ok i am back. Here’s the code. safe-launcher didn’t do anything:

What version / download link, of SAFE Launcher is that? I thought the name was changed to safe-launcher a while back.

Is the above output complete or just the last few lines? If truncated, the startup might be helpful too, but I’m not your man here so…

@frabrunelle can you make sense of this debug output, seems like a process has excited early on there.

[lothendriel]

I got it off of the SAFE Github. If someone has a better link to use then I would be all for it. That was the only error readout I got

[happybeing]

The current builds are updated regularly, so it’s best to go via the latest developer update and follow the download links from there:

MaidSafe Dev Update - November 1, 2016

Today we are releasing a WebRTC video chat demo along with a dev tutorial that shows how to establish a WebRTC connection using the SAFE Network Instead of using a centralized video chat service, such as Skype or Google Hangouts – who can track your location, what you are saying, and to whom, you can use the SAFE Network as a secure channel to exchange connectivity information to establish direct peer-to-peer WebRTC connections.

I’m not sure this explains your problem, but the first step is to make sure you are using the latest software, then we can take it from there.

[frabrunelle]

@lothendriel

I got it off of the SAFE Github.

I imagine you are using SAFE Launcher v0.8.0 - Alpha 1.

You can try the latest test network as @happybeing suggested. But the Alpha 1 network should also be working. What hardware are you using?

[lothendriel]

Awesome! I am glad I joined this forum. Thanks @happybeing! I will give that a shot. Will this update overwrite the one that I already downloaded?

[lothendriel]

It’s an HP desktop. The specifics of the hardware I can get for you when I get home. At work currently

[happybeing]

You’re welcome. And yes, just install the latest and give it a try. Keep at it and once you get this working you’ll be browsing SAFE websites and able to try out these incredible web apps running on the next internet!

You’ll need SAFE Beaker Browser as well as Launcher for that, then try safe://diy.yvette and other “safe:” urls posted on the forum.

[lothendriel]

Playing around with it on Windows while I figure the Linux stuff out. I put up a website and if you’d like to check it out and give me feedback that’d be great

safe://artifaxradio.artifax.safenet/

[lothendriel]

I did get the safe launcher working on Linux. The safe demo app starts up and then disappears. I am using the version of safe demo app for Linux below:

https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_examples/releases/tag/0.6.0

safe_demo_app-v0.6.0-linux-x64.tar.gz is the package i downloaded

[frabrunelle]

Are you using SAFE Launcher v0.8.0? Are you logged in to SAFE Launcher?

[lothendriel]

I am using version 0.9.0 and I am logged in to the launcher when I run the demo app, yes

[frabrunelle]

@lothendriel

version 0.9.0

you mean 0.8.0?

but yeah I’m not really sure what the issue is. On Ubuntu 16.04 it works fine for me. But I’ve never tried Ubuntu MATE. Maybe you could try using the binaries from TEST 11? I’m curious to see if you would get a similar issue when trying to run SAFE Demo App.

MaidSafe Dev Update - October 18, 2016 – TEST 11

Today we are releasing a new/updated dev tutorial We now have enabled two comments plugins: one for permanent comments and the other for editable comments. Both plugins let people comment on content using their public name. They also enable the website owner to delete comments and block users. The difference compared to the previous dev tutorial is that users now have the ability to update their own comments and to see the history of other comments when a website is using the Editable Co…

also, instead of using SAFE Launcher v0.9.2 (which should work fine), I would recommend using SAFE Launcher v0.9.3, as explained here:

I’m sorry I meant SAFE Launcher v0.9.3. I missed some things in this thread. I’ll go back over it:

@lothendriel

I’m sorry I meant SAFE Launcher v0.9.3

make sure to use SAFE Demo App v0.6.1

you mentioned v0.6.0 in your post above

[lothendriel]

Thanks all for the help

[lothendriel]

hello folks! So I’ve tried the following combinations:

launcher 0.9.3 - demo 0.6.1
launcher 0.9.3 - demo 0.6.0
launcher 0.9.2 - demo 0.6.0
launcher 0.9.2 - demo 0.6.1

Ran in terminal and keep getting this error - ‘Illegal instruction (core dumped)’

uffff… slow going but at least the launcher works no matter which version. The demo just keeps crashing
