[SOLVED] Cannot get this application to launch...

Hello guys. I am having trouble getting this application to launch...

I get this error message: (DagWallet:21349): Pango-ERROR **: 05:45:23.866: Harfbuzz version too old (1.2.1)
Although my harfbuzz verion is:

local/harfbuzz 2.6.2-1
OpenType text shaping engine
local/harfbuzz-icu 2.6.2-1
OpenType text shaping engine (ICU integration)
local/lib32-harfbuzz 2.6.2-1
OpenType text shaping engine (32-bit)

Please help, thank you...

Since there's no package for DagWallet (not even in the AUR): what exactly did you install?

goosestepping · 2019-10-01 20:27:11

I used debtap to convert the .deb file from https://dagcoin.org/wallet/...

It has always worked in the past.

I will check your link.

Thanks.

I tried running this seth, and I am getting the same error.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0 /usr/share/Dagcoin-wallet/DagWallet

The DagWallet binary mentions 1.2.1 as part of "HB_OPTIONS" - you could use a hexeditor and alter the value, but assumung this is a compile time value (which version the binary was compiled with) this might not result in stable behavior either.

(The error seems misleading as the binary does link the system version of harfbuzz)

This became a problem because of pretty drastic recent pango changes, presmingly mandating up-to-date versions of harfbuzz…

goosestepping · 2019-10-01 23:26:45

Hello, where are you seeing this HB_OPTIONS? When you say binary you mean the file highlighted in the below screenshot, right?

BT3kLYc

Link: https://ibb.co/BT3kLYc

Thanks.

I scanned through the file using ghex and i cannot find it anywhere...

This application is incompatible with Archlinux system libraries.
Report to the creators and inform them.
This app has a statically linked harfbuzz library that is incompatible with the current Achlinux pango library.

Please inform the developers that with such startup requirements of this application there is no chance that it will work properly on a wide range of GNU Linux distributions. In this form it is impossible.

Oh okay, thank you. I will let them know...

latalante1 · 2019-10-02 08:41:47

This does not mean that it cannot be started.
Easy way.

curl -JOL http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.42/pango-1.42.4.tar.xz
tar xf pango-1.42.4.tar.xz
cd pango-1.42.4
printf "all:\n\ttrue\n\ninstall:\n\ttrue\n\n" > tests/Makefile.in
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make DESTDIR="~/oldlib/pango" install

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/oldlib/pango/usr/lib /usr/share/Dagcoin-wallet/DagWallet

Safer a little harder. I only recommend it.
Never but never run such shady apps from your active account. Create temporary user accounts for such applications.

xhost +si:localuser:dagcoin && su - dagcoin -c 'DISPLAY=:0 HOME=/home/dagcoin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/dagcoin/oldlib/pango/usr/lib:/home/dagcoin/apps/usr/share/Dagcoin-wallet/lib /home/dagcoin/apps/usr/share/Dagcoin-wallet/DagWallet 2>/dev/null' && xhost - || xhost -

Thank you, could you please explain to me what that second line which you wrote does?

This one?

xhost +si:localuser:dagcoin && su - dagcoin -c 'DISPLAY=:0 HOME=/home/dagcoin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/oldlib/pango/usr/lib:share/Dagcoin-wallet/DagWallet 2>/dev/null' && xhost - || xhost -

Just step by step if you don't mind, so that i can learn...

Oh, I've got it, it's okay. Thanks man.

latalante1 · 2019-10-02 09:14:48

It means launching the application from another user's account under your active X session.
Check the wiki how to create a new user account.
Edit: This is just isolation at the file access level. A bad application can monitor keystrokes and have access to the clipboard of the user who allowed access to the X.

You can use other methods for a safe sandbox (freejail and others).

Is it a problem that pacman will not be aware that this old library installation exists?

V1del · 2019-10-02 09:20:16

No, this oldlib is only present in your home directory and will only be resolved with an appropriately adjusted LD_LIBRARY_PATH

goosestepping · 2019-10-02 09:32:50

EXCELLENT, that worked! Thank you!

Thanks. It work for me.
