General MoBlock thread

[suprfish]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with mobloquer, installed from the moblock-deb repositories. It won't start; when started from the terminal, it drops the message "Segmentation fault." Any help is appreciated

[jre]

Huh, I'm not so savvy with mobloquer. Is there anything more than this message? Which version are you using (dpkg -l mobloquer)

[suprfish]

Thanks for the reply . It's mobloquer 0.5.1~hardy.

_@_:~$ mobloquer
Segmentation fault

_@_:~$ sudo mobloquer
[sudo] password for _: 
Segmentation fault

I notice that in the mobloquer readme it says it is dependent on moblock-nfq; from apt-get it says it is dependent on moblock. Could this be causing the problem?

It' depends on moblock (0.9~rc2). But this is only because there the /etc/default/moblock file is always there.
Further I think moblock related errors would give other output.
Anyway, is moblock running? Try "moblock-control status" and "moblock-control test".

Have you tried a clean reinstall yet?

sudo aptitude purge mobloquer
sudo aptitude install mobloquer

The first command makes sure all config files, such as ~/.config/mobloquer are removed.

Otherwise I'd guess that it is a problem related to other software, e.g. Qt which mobloquer depends on.

I've been trying to uninstall moblock and get the following errors.

Initial install crapped out on nonexistent blocklists from bluetack, so I replaced them with lists from iblocklist that appeared to allow installation to complete. But after playing with mobloquer, it appeared that moblock would not stop, start, or anything. Not an iptables conflict that I know of as this is the first time I've ever installed Ubuntu, or any Linux distro, and hadn't set up any rules at all.

Anyway, any assistance is appreciated, please be as explicit as possible because I just finished installing Linux for the first time ever about 2 hours ago. 8)

There seems to be bug in the LSB init functions (lsb-base) in hardy :-/
I'm having a look at it to make special packages for hardy.
Until then please try the following:
Start MoBlock before you uninstall it.
Either try

sudo moblock-control start

or if this doesn't work try

sudo /usr/bin/moblock -p /etc/moblock/guarding.p2p -q 0 -t -r 10 -a 20 /var/log/moblock.log

. Note that the latter only starts the daemon but does not insert the iptables rules - this means it should be enough to make apt/aptitude/synaptic happy but it does not give you a functional MoBlock.

Thanks for the help, jre . Fortunately, moblock works fine (it's just mobloquer that is bugged).

Any help and advice to just get Moblock up and running again would be appreciated.

Thanks.
