Gameimage not working

Open mczero80 opened this issue 5 months ago • 5 comments

Hi,

since a few weeks gameimage is not working for me. It can't run wine, therefore the wine prefix does not get generated. Seems to be a SHA check problem when downloading stuff, see my log

Ok I found the problem. When gameimage downloads the linux.flatimage file, the download is broken for some reason. The sha256 hash is incorrect then. When I download it manually and put it into the cache folder of gameimage, it works, and the hash is correct.

Hi @mczero80, thanks for reporting this issue! I could not replicate the issue on my side on arch. Does this happen on a clean build directory?

Yes, it happened on a clean build directory since the last month or so. Always cleaned the build directory afterwards. Don't have any other download problems here.

Maybe it can be fixed by setting a download resume option for wget (or whatever is used by gameimage).

A friend of mine has the same problem. We can only workaround it by having the cached files in the build/cache/ folder. Which means, I can never delete my gameimage folder, or I'm stuck.
