When was the last time you -Syud? If it wasn't some time recently, can you try to -Syu, reboot, and see if it still happens?
Also, from where did you get the launcher? The release on github, some aur package (if yes, which) or from flathub?

Answer 2 · 2023-01-10T12:59:57.000Z

I'd last -Syud yesterday, before installing everyting. Still happens after another -Syu and a reboot, with both the am2rlauncher and am2rlauncher-git packages

Hm, need to check later whether I can replicate.
In the meantime, would you be able to test the following:
Clone the Repo, and modify the following line in AM2RLauncher.csproj

-     <PackageReference Include="LibGit2Sharp" Version="0.26.2" />
+     <PackageReference Include="LibGit2Sharp" Version="0.27.0-preview-0182 " />

Then try to compile it (instructions should be both in the Wiki, as well as in the PKGBUILD of am2rlauncher-git)

Still not working, but different error: "could not load ssl libraries"
Logs:

Answer 5 · 2023-01-10T22:18:24.000Z

That sounds like libgit2/libgit2sharp#2003
According to the thread there, using 0.27.0-preview-0182 should fix it. What if for compiling, instead of using -r ubuntu.18.04-x64, you use -r ubuntu.20.04-x64?

(A workaround would probably be to install libssl-compat or however its called, but non-arch distros don't offer those, so it'd be nice to find a proper workaround that works on all linux distros instead of just arch)

Answer 6 · 2023-01-10T23:18:28.000Z

Didn't work either, same error.
It managed to start the download after installing the openssl-1.1 package, though I do not know if that's option on other distros

Answer 7 · 2023-01-11T10:18:04.000Z

It probably is, but I wouldn't rely on it.
I guess something that can be tried as well is to just check all the 0.27 preview packages here and see if any one of them works? (and obviously remove openssl-1.1 before attempting)

Answer 8 · 2023-03-11T11:42:21.000Z

any updates on this? the error still persists

Answer 9 · 2023-03-11T14:28:41.000Z

As this is an upstream issue, the error will persist until it's fixed upstream. Updates will more likely be found in the linked libgit2sharp issue from above than here.

Answer 10 · 2023-04-11T12:45:05.000Z

@rehtlaw @Leshuguita I've updated to the newest libgit2sharp release, can you pull down the artifacts and see if the error persists?

Answer 11 · 2023-04-12T02:03:23.000Z

Nope, it works now!

Answer 12 · 2023-04-12T07:13:12.000Z

Nope, it works now!

Do you have openssl-1.1 installed? If yes, can you please remove it and try without it again?

Answer 13 · 2023-04-12T10:35:02.000Z

I made sure to delete openssl-1.1 before, and it also works for me.

Thank you! If anyone still has that error, feel free to reopen this issue.

Issue (hopefully) fixed due to c86dee0

Hello,

I am also trying to install AM2R on Linux Mint and I am getting the same error. I have added a photo the error.

Edit: I've also found the log file, here it is:
AM2RLauncher.log

Answer 16 · 2024-05-22T19:04:48.000Z

I've cloned the repo and changed the libgit2sharp dependency to v0.29.0 like here in my pull request. I then ran dotnet publish AM2RLauncher.Gtk -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:DebugType=embedded -c release -r ubuntu.18.04-x64 --no-self-contained -o LinuxBuild in AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher .

I then get the following error:

"/home/jj/Documents/AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher/MainForm/MainForm.Events.cs(268,64): error CS0117: 'CloneOptions' does not contain a definition for 'OnTransferProgress' [/home/jj/Documents/AM2RLauncher-main/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher/AM2RLauncher.csproj]"

I've tried the same using -r ubuntu.20.04-x64 instead but I get the same error.

Never mind, I changed the dependency back to version 0.27.2 and it seems to be compiling fine. However, when I try to run AM2RLauncher in the LinuxBuild folder it doesn't seem to be running. Any advice on this?

Answer 18 · 2024-05-22T19:37:11.000Z

Not unless I can see any log info.

Answer 19 · 2024-05-23T17:38:41.000Z

I've actually switched to the flatpak version and I am trying to solve some issues with that at the moment, but here is the log file when I run AM2RLauncher in the LinuxBuild folder if you would like to take a look anyway.
