In latest version, 0.8.7 (appimage), the following command:

$ adept_activate --random-serial --anonymous --output-dir $HOME/.config/adept

returns the following error:

APPRUN_ERROR: No such file or directory

I have the libgourou installed properly and working for many releases, I checked everything is installed correctly.

This error was not there when I originally installed and ran adept_activate in version 0.8.1. (it worked fine at that time).

Now I am trying to test with my (previously created) salt files which I do have:

$ ls -l ~/.config/adept
-rw-r-----   1 user user 13088 Apr  6  2023 activation.xml
-rw-r-----   1 user user    16 Jun 19  2022 devicesalt
-rw-r-----   1 user user   543 Jun 19  2022 device.xml
drwx------   2 user user  4096 Feb 12  2025 loans

Next, trying to run acsmdownloader on a sample .acsm file from a.d.o.b.e:

$ curl -o sample.acsm -c cookies.txt -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:111.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0" 'https://contentserver.adobe.com/fulfillment/URLLink.acsm?action=free&ordersource=operator&resid=urn%3Auuid%3A723caf6a-0e27-44be-8733-904cede39cd2'

I checked that the file sample.acsm was downloaded and exists, and has the following contents:

$ cat sample.acsm

Now acsmdownloader gives same error:

$ acsmdownloader sample.acsm

Result:

APPRUN_ERROR: No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong?

All these used to work in some previous versions of libgourou.

For completeness' sake, I do have in my ~/.bashrc:

export ADEPT_DIR=$HOME/.config/adept
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/lib/libgourou

and the folder where it is installed:

$ ls -l $HOME/.local/lib/libgourou

Hello,

I ran

cd /tmp
wget https://soutade.fr/files/libgourou_utils-0.8.7-x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libgourou_utils-0.8.7-x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz
cd libgourou_utils-0.8.7-x86_64.AppImage/
./adept_activate --random-serial --anonymous --output-dir $PWD/.config/adept
curl ...
./acsmdownloader -D .config/adept/ sample.acsm

Except E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR which may result of a bad uuid, everything is OK.
I'm on Debian testing. Which is yours ?

Can you try from scratch in /tmp and also with v0.8.6 (in /tmp too) ?

On debian 12.11 bookworm here.

Re-testing according to your lines above.

With 0.8.7: getting still the same errors as reported for both adept_activate and acsmdownloader.

With 0.8.6:

  • adept_activate works fine.
  • acsmdownloader gives E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR. Not really understand what it means. How do I get over that?

Thanks.

I uploaded a new AppImage (same URL). It should work now.

For E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR error, it's just a problem of UUID (must be the same in adept_activate and the one generated for .acsm file)

Okay, latest version of adept_activate works fine.

Still getting E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR from the acsmdownloader with the sample acsm from Adobe sample library.

I verified that acsmdownloader and adept_remove works with an actual / practical acsm file.

Thanks a lot!

According to https://kb.datalogics.com/article/acs-errors-and-troubleshooting-72.html E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR seems to be an error on server side
