client 1.2.0beta1 crashes under ubuntu 12.04

[bertbrutzel]

Good day,

my owncloud sync client started crashing right after start-up. The 1.2.0beta1 used to work just fine. A removal and reinstall does not help.

What does "1.2.0beta1 used to work just fine" mean? Did you an update and it worked fine before?

[smessmer]

I got the same issue on Ubuntu 12.10. I'm compiling the client by myself, using the most current csync (dav branch) and mirall from git.

The gdb stacktrace tells me that csync crashes:

It works again for me.... It might have to do with the "lock" file(/home/username/.local/share/data/ownCloud).
Stop your ownCloud client and remove the file.

[smessmer]

I deleted the whole folder /home/username/.local/share/data/ownCloud but get the same error. When booting up the client, everything seems to work fine. I can configure the server, it says "sucessfully connected", until it tries to sync the first data. Then it crashes with a segfault in csync.

[dragotin]

@smessmer the crash line shows that it might be that your client loads the wrong owncloud plugin for csync which is loaded using dlopen. If there is an older ocsync_owncloud.so wandering around on your system, ie. from previously installed packages, which is prefered to the recently built one in your csync built dir, this can happen.

Can you please verify that?

[bertbrutzel]

Here are my complete steps it took to get it working again:

$sudo apt-get remove owncloud-client
$wget
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/devel/xUbuntu_12.04/amd64/owncloud-client_1.1.4-3_amd64.deb

-->adjust to your distro
$sudo dpkg -i owncloud-client_1.1.4-3_amd64.deb
$rm /home/username/.local/share/data/ownCloud/lock
-->start up 1.14 client wait until it starts syncing, stop it and shut
it down
$sudo apt-get remove owncloud-client
--> removes 1.1.4 client
$sudo apt-get install owncloud-client
--> install 1.2 beta from repo

There is no other ocsync_owncloud.so (at least not anymore), but it still doesn't work. Here my steps:

I ran

sudo apt-get remove owncloud owncloud-client
sudo apt-get autoremove

(the second line removed libcsync-plugin-owncloud)

$ sudo find / -name "*csync.so*"
  [no results]

Then I followed the guide at http://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/1.1/building.html
I had to download and compile iniparser manually for I didn't find an ubuntu iniparser package. Using this, the CMake calls looked like:

/ocsync-build$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" -DWITH_LOG4C=OFF -DINIPARSER_LIBRARIES=../../iniparser/libiniparser.a -DINIPARSER_INCLUDE_DIRS=../../iniparser/src ../ocsync
/ocsync-build$ make
/mirall-build$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../mirall -DCSYNC_LIBRARY_PATH=../ocsync-build -DCSYNC_INCLUDE_PATH=../ocsync/src
/mirall-build$ make

The csync cmake call complains about missing CMocka and Neon libraries but seems to work nevertheless.
The mirall cmake call complains about missing Sphinx and QtKeyChain but also seems to work.

When running make in the mirall-build directory now, I get an error message

Linking CXX shared library libmirallsync.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l../ocsync-build/src/libocsync.so
collect2: Fehler: ld gab 1 als Ende-Status zurück

The file ../ocsync-build/src/libocsync.so is there, so I wondered why it complained and changed the -DCSYNC_LIBRARY_PATH and -DCSYNC_INCLUDE_PATH attributes to absolute instead of relative paths.

Then it compiles again and I could run it. But I still get the same error. Here a gdb backtrace:

@smessmer please check if your csync build directory contains modules/ocsync_owncloud.so. That is loaded dynamically by csync once you try to access ownCloud. If you say you the cmake run did not find NEON its likely that the ownCloud plugin was not built. Make sure to have the neon devel packages installed, remove the csync build dir and rerun cmake.

[smessmer]

There was a libocsync.so and make reported it built everything successfully, so I thought it finished successfully. Nevertheless, there was no ocsync_owncloud.so.

Installing libneon27-dev and rebuilding everything solved the problem. Thank you very much.

[dragotin]

You're welcome, have fun!
