It's not just the hub's encoding, but each person on the hub can have a different encoding. The program can only make a best guess and assume that most people on the hub have the same encoding.

I use mainly hubs that are in usa. Except one from sweden. To what i should change then? My default charset in linuxdc is "system default". I never played with the advanced setting because i didn't know what to change there.
Where can i find the character encoding of my system? in firefox i have western iso 8859-1. on the shell i have default.
I will emerge again linuxdc with debug mode. |

If you're visiting USA and Swedish hubs, you want CP1252 (AKA Windows version of ISO 8859-1. The majority of western DC hubs will have this encoding. To find the encoding of your system, run the locale command and look at the LC_CTYPE variable. |

Thanks. ran locale command and i found LC_CTYPE=POSIX
I changed now to CP1252. after i will restart the program, I"ll inform you if there is an improvement. When it was with system default and debug mode i didn't get any errors in the console. Yet it takes a long time to connect to the users.
BTW, with the new version of linuxdc the slot issue was solved? I still don't get the "no slots available". |

Just because it doesn't say "no slots available" in the gui doesn't mean that's what's happening in the background. The core sends two strings to the gui when a download fails and it's a pain in the ass to get the "no slots available" to show up first. So instead the disconnected string overwrites the no slots string before you even can see it. Blame DC++. |

ok, thanks for the info. I was just used to see "no slots available". the dissconnect confused because i didn't know if it's a slot problem or connection problem on my side.
I changed the character encoding. I don't see a change in the downloads. It still takes a very long time until it connects to the users. And many downloads simply don't start (when some of the downloads are working). But i don't get any error from command line. |

It would be nice that in linuxdcpp will be a feature in sharing to share files over network. For example files from a remote ftp server.
Is such a thing possible? |

As far as I know, if you can mount the drive the files are on and can access it in a file manager, you should be able to share them in linuxdcpp. Adding support for ftp or other protocols directly into linuxdcpp is not a reasonable request when there are other workarounds. |

linuxdcpp is in portage. This means that it will get updated when they have time, and if the changelog @ linuxdcpp.berlios.de tells you something awesome has happend since the date of the ebuild then file a bug @ bugs.gentoo.org to remind them to bump. Just remember: nobody likes zero-days. |

Finally! We can post again 
Since the update before the last update linux dcpp crashes my whole server. At start I get fileexceptions, warnings from pango and a gtk critical. I don't know if this has got anything to do with it though. Does someone know a solution for this and if not, can someone tell me how I can debug this. Because the complete computer crashes I can't see what happens.
Oh. I forgot. It happens when I try to add a new share directory, but sometimes just as I search. |

linuxdcpp has known problems with localized filenames.
And how does it crash you whole server, does not even ssh work?
One thing you can do is build linuxdcpp with USE="debug" and:
| Code: | | ulimit -c unlimited && linuxdcpp > ldcpp.log 2>&1 |
This will give you two files:
ldcpp.log with all the output linuxdcpp gives in a terminal (often there is a clue in that file). If you can't see something wrong post this to a pastebin somewhere and link it here so can someone take a look.
The other file is named core or core.something. This step is only necessary if the logfile does not give you (or us) something.
Open this with:
| Code: | | gdb linuxdcpp <core or core.comething> |
This will start gdb and when its prompt shows up enter "bt full".
If you see a awful lot of ???? then this output is nonesense. If that is the case come back for futher advice. If it does not contain a lot of ??? then pastebin and post here. |

First of all tnx for the answer. I'm going to start debugging right away.
The server doesn't do anything anymore including ssh. Is it possible that this is because of localized filenames? I will try running it with the command you supplied and see what it outputs (it's already compiled with debug). If I can't find out what's the problem I will post it back here. |

The only thing I got out of it was a ldcpp.log file which contains this:
| Code: | Thrown: FileException: Could not open file
Thrown: FileException: Could not open file
Loading: Hash database
Loading: Shared Files
UnBZFilter end, 243120/72858 = 3.3369
Loading: Download Queue |
But I don't think this will be much of use.
There's no coredump |

No effect. Just freezes. Maybe I should look into the X forums or just wait for the right update (which one that may be). I saw something about freezing there. Strange thing is it only happens with DCPP.
Thanks for the help anyway Xake! |

Is someone in the process of making an ebuild or can I do that? Is there a good ebuild tutorial or something?
By the way. Isn't it a good idea to make a dedicated linuxdcpp thread? |

Take the one in portage and change src_uri. |

How can you add files to the distfiles dir on the server (and mirrors)?
If I digest the ebuild to add it to the Manifest ebuild tries to download the file from the mirror which of course doesn't have the file it's looking for. |

You can't. You set the src_uri to the berlios.de location and then portage will try its list of mirrors and then fallback to the berlios address. |
