  • Disconnects

    From Al@21:4/106 to apam on Thu Nov 7 19:53:22 2019
    Hello Apam,

    I seem to be getting disconnected at random with a nodeinuse.? being left behind that I need to delete to get back on the BBS.

    I'm not sure why that is happening, the logs don't show anything related.

    In the last hour it has happened three times, twice listing files and
    once reading messages.

    This seems to be new, I have never know magicka to disconnect.

    Ttyl :-),

    usually that happens when the node crashes, are you able to trigger it
    at all by doing something particular or is it just random?

    I think your magicka.strings is messed up

    check to make sure magicka.strings is a link to the one in the dist
    folder.

    The first two times it disconnected I was looking over newly added file
    areas. I was moving through quickly, hitting enter a lot.

    After that I was just reading new messages at a slow pace.

    I don't know what to make of that and don't know to trigger it.

    I'll keep an eye on that ad the logs and see if I can get a better idea
    of why.

    Scratch that.. I was referencing string 215 in file listings instead of
    315 fixed now.. Sorry about that.

    String 315 (or string 316 in the strings file) is shown when a file in
    the listing is missing from the disk.

    Yep, this one looks like it's related to the wrong string.

    This one is probably related to the new wrapping stuff, do you remember
    which message it crashed on, and if you can crash it again?

    Yep, it is. I haven't changed anything in the stings file. I just did a
    git pull in case there were updates since my last git pull but I don't
    see any. I see some changes to bbs.c and files.c so I'll do a fresh make
    but magicka.strings is upto date AFAIK.

    Ahh.. I might have imported and deleted some files.bbs or descript.ion
    files. I'll check with filecenter and make sure there are no wonky files
    in the directory or the database.

    No, but I'll see if I can get it to disconnect again and if so get a grip
    on what causes it.

    Ok, if you manage to narrow it down to a particular message or message
    base, can you please email me a copy and I'll see if i can find the bug.

    Will do. I just took a walk through a bunch of areas and it's working
    well. If I do see a crash I'll make a note of the conference and area.
