Ryzom on Ubuntu 12.04: an error occured when extracting data

Added by mrwireless about 3 years ago

I'm new to Ubuntu so please keep that in mind when providing the steps to resolve this issue. ;-)

I installed Ryzom with no errors from the Ubuntu Software Center with no errors, I then proceeded to execute the program from Dash Home. It began downloading data files but in the in middle of this proccess, my notebook had a power failure. I have removed/re-installed Ryzom in hopes to start with a clean install resolve this matter with no success. After removing Ryzom, there are several files (starting with private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial) which are owned by ROOT, and I'm unable to delete them. I'm suspecting the data files (some other location) where corrupted when the notebooks power failed during the download process.

Please advise me on the steps required to resolve this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Hi !

In fact, all data are saved in ~/.ryzom, it's an hidden folder in your home folder. In your case, you can safely delete this folder so it will download data at your next launch :)

When you launch Ryzom, it counts the number of existing files in ~/.ryzom. If only a few files are missing, it patches them, else it will download a .7z file from sourceforge containing all files.

The package only install the update script, the client and default configuration :)

Good luck !

It might be related to Zenity's Launchpad Bug #995435: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/995435 witch was just fixed and released in the package zenity - 3.4.0-0ubuntu4.

With zenity - 3.4.0-0ubuntu3 I experienced some high cpu usage while fetching the Ryzom data files. My first guess was the ecryptfs getting busy with the ecryption task, but top showed that it was a zenity's effort. That caused an error in the 7z file that couldn't be extracted then. After that I modified the script not to use zenity and all worked well then.

I don't know if it works with zenity now after this fix release, but I guess it would.

Best regards,
Miguel
