OpenSUSE 12.3 and iFolder - Micro Focus Community

williamfleming · ‎2013-04-17

Anybody managed to get the most recent iFolder running on openSUSE 12.3 yet? I keep getting mono errors from what I gathered its because its complied for a different version of mono...

Anybody got any info on this? Or have a I just missed a dependency? The log below is what i get when it launches.

It talks about a sharp lib at top which I made sure I have but still cant get it working. Some assistance on this would be great if anybody managed it.

I did find this and try it only to get another error about CLI image.

Thats the article that says its a mono problem because it was compiled for old version.

Thanks

what versions of the following are you running:
mono
libflaim (not libxflaim, this will not work with ifolder)
ifolder

Hi,

I do get the same errors after upgrading openSUSE from 12.2 to 12.3.

mono is version 2.10-8.1.1 (from openSUSE 12.3 OSS repo).
libxflaim is not installed (neither is any other libflaim).
ifolder is 3.9.1.12197.0-1.1 (x86_64).

Thank you for helping out

Mono JIT compiler version 3.0.6
LibXflaim-5.1.1046-186.1.5 is installed but Libflaim is not.
ifolder is ifolder3-3.9.1.12197.0-1.1.x86_64

Thanks for the reply

William

Anyone found a solution for the issue? I'm having the same problem on openSUSE 12.3 and iFolder.

Thanks

It looks like iFolder on oS 12.3 is kind of a no-go at this point.

In order to get it to *mostly* work, I had to first install the packages for iF 2.8.4 (which takes mono 2.6.7) and the *-sharp2-*-13.* versions from oS 12.2 mentioned below, and then do the one-click install for the 3.9.1.svn client (which takes mono 3.0.4 and simias 1.9.1.svn) on software.opensuse.org (which doesn’t try to upgrade the *sharp2* packages.)

(Just downgrading to the old versions after you installed the 3.9.1 client didn’t seem to work for some reason.)

The reason is there appears to be an issue with the *-15* version of the gnome-sharp2 libraries that come with oS 12.3:
art-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gnome-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gconf-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gnome-vfs-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586

If you try to use these versions, the client won’t start, and if you run it from the command line to see what’s going on, you’ll end up with this error:

Missing method System.Type::op_Equality(Type,Type) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/gnome-sharp/2.24.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gnome-sharp.dll

However, if you install the *-13* versions from oS 12.2:
art-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gnome-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gconf-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gnome-vfs-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586

then things work (including the 3.9.1 client and mono 3.0.4.)

However, as soon as you install the old versions, oS notifies you of an update (opensuse-2013-339,) which installs the new versions again, which breaks the client, which sends you spiraling down in a loop of frustration and annoyance.

At least that’s what I’ve been dealing with yesterday and today 😕

Unfortunately, it looks like you can’t just stick with the 2.8.4 client on 12.3, because you are greeted with any number of different errors depending on which version of Simias you try (I tried 1.8.5. 10252, 10349, and 10363)

Ah thats not so good. But thanks for the detailed reply.

No problem 🙂 If I find a solution to the problem, I'll try to remember to post it back here. If I should forget though, I know I'll at least post it here: http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=981

Ok, it looks like I've been able to keep iFolder working on 12.3 currently if I install and lock the following software versions to keep them from getting updated to the latest 12.3 versions:

art-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2
gnome-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2
gconf-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2
gnome-vfs-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2

log4net 1.2.10-67.1.2

ifolder 3.9.1.svn7662-2.1

mono (core, data, data-sqlite, extras, mvc, wcf, web, winforms, winfxcore) 3.0.4-1.4.1

simias 1.9.1.svn7628-1.1

Thanks for taking the time to report back. Hopefully your post will help
others trying to achieve the same thing.
