Just trying to get this one running on my new Linux system and when I try to run it the script drops me out of the BBS and the Mystic logs show

An error has occurred: Corrupted memory (216)

Has anyone encountered this one?

I have python 2.7.16 installed. Not sure if the environmental labels are set though / needed?

I did run the testpython.mpy and that worked fine.

Hmm

On 30 Aug 2021 at 02:52p, Avon pondered and said...

I have python 2.7.16 installed. Not sure if the environmental labels are set though / needed?

I did some reading and set

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7
PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/lib/python2.7

and they now display when I type env as a command

Annoyingly the script still crashes. I have also checked my Python is 64 bit not 32 bit.

Heya paulie, I just installed and get this exact error. Did you ever hear
back from xqtr or figure it out?

Hey brotha - so yea, we have the exact same issue happening... I *can* run the 'ilc login' command, that LOGS user logins to the inter-bbs LC list - just FYI, you can probably use that part.

Yes, xqtr did email me back - but he mentioned to make sure that all xq-ilc files were correct and not messed up, which mine are. He also stated that maybe the message base data file is corrupt, but I haven't pressed more and tried to erase or... repair? that file.

Hmmm - lets try to figure this out. If I delete my interbbs data file tho... hmmm.

I wondered back then if it was any data files that xq-ilc WROTE. Maybe I can sniff around and see if there are any, and delete those. However, can we make sure to post any fixes either of us found?

More info, I have upgraded from a47 to the current a48 - and still xq-ilc is borked... its not that.

Didn't think of this, I did recently move from a win32 box to a ras pi and I moved all my msg bases so as not to lose all the old stuff. I can wipe/move fsx_dat and see if that makes a difference.

I will definitely keep you updated. =)

I was gonna try this to see if it helped, Will put it on the back burner for now, thks.

off to test.

This seemed to be the issue, I zipped and then deleted the fsx_dat.??? files
in /mystic/msgs and that seems to fix it. I did have to wait for new messages to wander in but it only took a few minutes.

give it a try hopefully, that will do the trick for you as well.

Ahhh - theres a hint; I'm also on a Raspberry Pi 4. MAYBE thats a clue. Mine was working on a Pi in the beginning, but I'm wondering if some of the Python changes to Mystic or something messed the Python ilx up.

Ok - I'll make a backup and try it out. Thanks Ratz.

And yes... moving fsx_dat.* to a /backup folder has also fixed the xq-ilc issue for me, too. Maybe its about how large the files have become, or some corruption - but the message base wasn't corrupted at all....

I'll write to xqtr and tell him what 'fixed' it. I think erasing those files also reboots my interbbs oneliners and other interbbs mods - but alas, thanks for helping... my xq-ilc has been messed up for a while.

Sweet, glad that worked for you as well. I don't feel like my msg bases were corrupted either, but maybe the switch from windows to linux buggered something.

anytime bro! glad I could be of service to you for a change. =)

This happens because the script expects a string inside the rot47 function, but for some reason (explain later) the string is empty.

This can happen because of a corrupted message base, in some sort. The script expects to read a "data packet" of a specific kind. If something went wrong when this "data packet" was saved in the msg.base or transfered wrong via echomail, the script will "complain" :)

I could add some code in there to bypass such things, but then you wouldn't know that you have a corrupted message base :)
