CEP update on Linux - Unable to acquire manifest
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:42:27 PM »
Heyas
For some reason i can't update the CEP anymore.
Tried a bit of Google but the only thing i found, changing the cep.txt adress, didn't work. Actually there's nothing wrong with the default adress (as far as i can tell).
This is what I get:

Code: [Select]
###@###-desktop:~/Desktop/nwn$ sudo sh cepuplinux.sh
[sudo] password for ###:
received cep.txt (0/0 bytes)
[src/erf.c:2136 main] unable to acquire manifest

Press Enter to exit.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, could be network issues, perhaps the CEP server was down? Or it could be because they were updating their repository. Does it persist?

Yep, tried a few times since i posted this topic. Still getting the same message.
Every time i try to open http://cep.hgweb.org/man/cep.txt in my browser it works fine.
By any chance, must i redownload the CEP and install it again? I don't know the current version of mine, and i don't know how to check it. Maybe it's old? Wouldn't it mess up my game? It works fine...
The reason i want to update is to prevent the rare issue of invisible monsters and maybe being able to walk on mountainous terrain with best graphics settings. I read somewhere around here that the latest CEP might fix that.

Your cepuplinux.sh, does it look like this:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

chmod a+rx ./erf.linux
exec ./erf.linux -vm http://cep.hgweb.org/man/cep.txt

?

If not, could try to replace it with that. Otherwise, I wonder if it's a problem with what rights you are running the command with (not very linux savvy though, so will need someone else to help you out then.) Reinstalling the CEP might work too though.

Yeah, my cepuplinux.sh it's exactly as you posted...
Probably reinstalling it will work. Thanks!

You've probably already thought about this, but are you behind a proxy?
