Socket Error

Hello all
After starting up my computer today I noticed SAB did not start. After re-installing and altering different settings I still am unable to get SAB working again.
The following output is the result of trying to start SAB.
Code: Select all
[b230614@arch ~]$ sabnzbd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py", line 66, in <module>
import sabnzbd
File "/opt/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/__init__.py", line 73, in <module>
from sabnzbd.nzbqueue import NzbQueue
File "/opt/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/nzbqueue.py", line 41, in <module>
import sabnzbd.downloader
File "/opt/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/downloader.py", line 33, in <module>
from sabnzbd.newswrapper import NewsWrapper, request_server_info
File "/opt/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/newswrapper.py", line 449, in <module>
_EXTERNAL_IPV6 = test_ipv6()
File "/opt/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/newswrapper.py", line 435, in test_ipv6
socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.AI_CANONNAME)
socket.error: [Errno 0] Error
Also when trying to diagnosis SAB, SAB will randomly decide to start. But then fails to start when trying to replicate what I just changed.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I see "/opt", so you're running SABnzbd on a NAS or so?
On that device, can you run this and post the output here:
Code: Select all
sander@R540:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.getaddrinfo('www.google.com', 80, socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM,socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.AI_CANONNAME)
[(10, 1, 6, 'www.google.com', ('2a00:1450:400c:c03::63', 80, 0, 0))]
>>>
sander@R540:~$
BTW:
the source code says this:
Code: Select all
def test_ipv6():
""" Check if external IPv6 addresses are reachable """
# Use google.com to test IPv6 access
try:
info = socket.getaddrinfo('www.google.com', 80, socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM,
socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.AI_CANONNAME)
except socket.gaierror:
return False
so I guess a workaround is to just remove "socket.gaierror" from the code and then run again ... Worth a try?

No it is not a NAS.
Code: Select all
[b230614@arch ~]$ python

OSError: [Errno 0] Error
>>>
The 'workaround' seemed to do the trick.
Also thanks for the help.
EDIT: Worked for the first start up then failed.
EDIT2: SAB added back what I removed, I changed the permissions of the file so SAB can no longer change things. Seems all good now, thanks again for the help.

You're welcome. Good that it works. A few remarks:
- AFAIK SAB does not change its source code. Maybe the file was in use while you edited it?
- SAB only uses Python 2.x. So for a fully correct test, start python 2 ("python2" on your system?). Can you run the test again, just to be sure?

Most likely it was opened, as for test it produces the same results as with 'python'.

Testing for specific error codes in a multi-platform app is a risk.
I'll change the code accordingly.
