bug: Client can't start under Linux Mint

[Firemaster640]

Description

I have downloaded version 0.8.0 for the Linux version. The server started without any problems. However, the client did not. If it helps, I use the following Linux version:

NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="21.1 (Vera)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 21.1"
VERSION_ID="21.1"
HOME_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.linuxmint.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://linuxmint-troubleshooting-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
VERSION_CODENAME=vera
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

I don't know if something extra needs to be installed to run it on Linux, if that would be necessary please let me know. Thanks :)
(Install the Repositorys [libSDL2, libopenal]] doesn't help]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download Version 0.8.0 for Linux
2. Start Server
3. Client can't Start

Version with bug

0.8.0

Last version that worked well

0.8.0

Affected platforms

Linux

Did you find any workaround?

Duplicate Bug Check

• This bug report is not a duplicate to the best of my knowledge.

[WeylonSantana]

Have you tried giving all privileges to the client/editor? In the error says something similar to "try to give privileges or run cap_net_raw" something like that, it is normal for the client/editor to be blocked because they try to access the internet

[Firemaster640]

Yes. I try:
Run as Owner-Groops:

• sudo
• adm
• user (is the admin)
  And i change the Acess from only Read to Read and Write - Test the Groops again.
  This doesn´t help.

Then I try, to start from the Terminal with sudo - This doesen't help too. :(

But i don't find a "cap_net_raw" File to start, i think this is a function(?)

[dhmello]

Try execute this command:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw=eip /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh # real binary, not symlink

[Firemaster640]

Try execute this command: sudo setcap cap_net_raw=eip /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh # real binary, not symlink

The console says the following:
Failed to set capabilities on file `/opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh' (No such file or directory)
The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file is not a regular (non-symlink) file

[dhmello]

Solution 1: Run as root user
Open a terminal.
Run the program as root:

sudo ./program_name
Note: Replace program_name with the name of your executable.

Solution 2: Use setcap
Open a terminal.
Install setcap if it is not installed:
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
Grant the necessary capability to the executable:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /path/to/executable
Note: Replace /path/to/executable with the full path to your executable.

Check if setcap is installed:

dpkg -l | grep libcap2-bin
If the above command returns nothing, install it with the previously mentioned command.

Grant the capability:
Suppose your executable is located at /usr/local/bin/my_program. The command would be:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/local/bin/my_program

Verify the granted capabilities:
To confirm if the capabilities were applied correctly, you can use the command:

getcap /usr/local/bin/my_program
This should return something like:

/usr/local/bin/my_program = cap_net_raw+ep
After following one of these methods, try running the program again.

-----------------------
Because of the new error name ‘NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’ I only found out through Google that it is a known error code for Linux and Net Framework. But no solution was named that would help. :(

[WeylonSantana]

Nop, nop, that's is a better error, is saying something about the interface is null, then fixing that maybe everything can run normally in your system.

Are u testing the full version? With all assets? Maybe is something missing in files.

[Firemaster640]

Yes I run the Version:
intersect-linux-x64-full-0.8.0-beta.210+build.a4d523e70068f1942b659bc29ee764431b00ab20.zip

:(

[WeylonSantana]

I experienced this error a little while ago, actually crashing on this line, but I don't remember what I did to fix it, but it's related to the gui folder, it has to do with the skin file which has the name "Intersect2021" or ""intersect-2021 ", even though it was not supposed to give an error in the full version, I'll download the Windows version to test

[lodicolo]

Not sure why the original issue mentioned wasn't seen sooner, but this is apparently an intentionally breaking change by Microsoft:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/networking/7.0/ping-custom-payload-linux

Since I am able to reproduce it consistently on my machine (Arch, kernel 6.10) I created a fix that does not require setcap, and opened PR #2366 for it.

[dhmello]

@lodicolo tested here, and that error persist..
