1.19.2 Crashing on startup

[KallanX]

Just upgraded the server container to the newly released 1.19.2 and the server is in a crash loop.

Just to confirm, going back to

docker pull ghcr.io/pg9182/northstar-dedicated:1-tf2.0.11.0-ns1.19.1

does not result in a crash, right?

[KallanX]

Correct. 1.19.1 runs as expected.

[GeckoEidechse]

Can reproduce. Will look further into it. For now, just use the previous image.

[GeckoEidechse]

https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated-ci/actions/runs/6394806680 also observes this issue, so it must be in launcher code.

[GeckoEidechse]

https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated-ci/actions/runs/6394958380 works fine

(that's v1.19.2 with the two launcher PRs reverted)

[GeckoEidechse]

https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated-ci/actions/runs/6395085488 fails

That's v1.19.2 with R2Northstar/NorthstarLauncher#554 reverted

[GeckoEidechse]

https://github.com/pg9182/northstar-dedicated-ci/actions/runs/6395262419 works fine.

This is v1.19.2 with R2Northstar/NorthstarLauncher#529 reverted, meaning R2Northstar/NorthstarLauncher#529 is the offending commit.

[GeckoEidechse]

Running the same launch command as in in the initial issue on Windows dedi

I cannot reproduce the crash. The server registers just fine. So this is definitely Wine/Docker specific issue IMO.

That being said I still reverted the change upstream for now via R2Northstar/NorthstarLauncher#561, as I do not have the capabilities to debug this and we cannot afford losing Docker support, and I will push out a hotfix soon.

[GeckoEidechse]

@KallanX should be fixed with the latest Docker image (1-tf2.0.11.0-ns1.19.3) by reverting a change upstream.

Please retest if you get the change.

I'm gonna leave the issue open still for @pg9182 to see. Maybe he has an idea how to properly fix this in Wine.

[KallanX]

Confirmed to be working. Currently running container version 1.19.3.

Thank you.

[GeckoEidechse]

Closing as completed via revert and subsequent re-implementation in Northstar with R2Northstar/NorthstarLauncher#564
