How to debug a program trying to reach the web?

I think this is the most generic I can get to see if people here can help me - and one of the most noob questions I've ever had.

Here in Brazil, the government has a program for taxes, which can connect to the internet. It usually (well, I used it back in Windows =p) opens a browser to authenticate on their domain (acesso.gov.br) then return the auth to the program.

The program runs in Java, I could find it runnning with ps aux and monitor it on btop. The issue is: when I try to authenticate running it on Garuda, it's not opening any browser for auth. Not Firedragon, not Vivaldi (my default browser), not anything.

It just keeps there... waiting.

Does the program write some log file or output messages when run from a terminal?

Else, you may use strace -f to show all system calls made, but that's going to output an awful lot of things in a not so easy to understand format. (I read here about the -f option).

JConsole may be a better option though since this is Java but... I don't know Java.
edit: no, looks like it's for profiling resources but not tracing calls.

“This forum is not a general technical support forum.”
Wish I could reply to who marked this… AFAIK, if it’s something that used to work elsewhere but doesn’t work in Garuda, it’s not a “general technical support” issue, it’s a Garuda-related issue, or am I mistaken?

just tried strace, but there seems to be far too much garbage from it to be useful. Tried grepping for stuff like xdg or browser, but nothing.

To make strace really useful:

strace -p <process id> -f -e trace=network

Focus it on the app (-p <process id>) and its forks (-f), and only the networking (-e trace=network)

It's this one? Download do Programa de Imposto de Renda — Receita Federal

This is what I did:
downloaded https://downloadirpf.receita.fazenda.gov.br/irpf/2023/irpf/arquivos/IRPF2023-1.1.zip
unzip IRPF2023-1.1.zip
cd IRPF2023
pacman -S jre-openjdk

fish❯ java -jar irpf.jar
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel {}
Unrecognized option: {}
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

no idea what's {} in _JAVA_OPTIONS, get rid of it:

program runs, complains it's Java 19 and not the expected 11, proceed:

I don't have a CPF so... but the page opens and I guess the login dialog will close itself when the authentication is complete.

I don't think you need to install jre-openjdk and use the .zip version though, if you have the .sh.bin one just fix the _JAVA_OPTIONS and try again. In that case run the "exec.sh" that will use the included JRE.

I know next to nothing about Java so I can't tell if that {} thing has any reason to be there, but that seems to be the problem. In which case, I'd concur it's likely "our" problem.

Note how the problem became apparent running in the terminal, and the program also writes a log file by the way.

yeah, it doesn’t seem like the program itself tries anything on the network… I’m only seeing:

[pid 104548] recvmsg(90, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Recurso temporariamente indisponĂ­vel)
[pid 104544] recvmsg(90, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\6\0as4[\303\0{\t\0\0003\0\300\4\0\0\0\0\356\4\242\2\356\4\202\2\20\0\1\0"..., iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 64

Btw, “recurso temporariamente indisponível” would translate to “resource temporarily unavailable”. But no idea what it is, and it shows even before I hit the button to try.

To be more exact, this new one: https://downloadirpf.receita.fazenda.gov.br/irpf/2023/irpf/arquivos/IRPF2023Linux-x86_64v1.1.sh.bin - but I’m guessin this “.bin” file is just a script to easily install stuff from it.

yeah, that’s my end goal - hit the “Entrar com gov.br” (Login with gov.br) button to reach the website, but no browser pops up here.

I am able to launch the program, I’ve already did what I mostly needed with it, I’m just finding it very weird that it won’t open the browser when needed - something you achieved… even more weird now.

yeah, I haven’t tried through the terminal - when it’s installed via the .bin file it’ll create shortcuts and I’ve been using those:

I’ll try with the terminal… :thinking:

Mensagem Não foi possível iniciar o serviço de Login não está cadastrada no Mensagens.properties! translates roughly to “Message Not possible to start login service not registered on Mensagens.properties!”

oh. ok. probably because I had forgotten to shutdown the one that was already running…

Yes, the .sh.bin is a shell install script with a zip file appended.
And, you're right, you got the program running but not the authentication, I was confused again (too much multitasking I guess).
Let me try the new other version. (should be the same one but with JRE included)

ok, now from the top. Running through the terminal with no other instance running, the initial log, and all the way up to me waiting after pushing the "Entrar com gov.br" button, is:

And the program is... waiting. Nothing happens.

:confused: Maybe the included JRE doesn't play ball with the browser for some reason?
Try installing jre-openjdk, cd /home/johnny/ProgramasRFB/IRPF2023/, then the command I used above (edit: not the exec.sh that would use the included JRE). No idea if you need a reboot after installing JRE, I forgot to say, I did so just for good measure.

I think I can skip reinstalling jre, right? =p

No dice =(

I did notice one thing… perhaps it’s something broken in my distro with Firedragon? mine shows kinda weird…

or am I imagining things trying to figure this one out?

That is strange indeed. In my screenshot, that space to the left of regular tabs is taken by the two "pinned" forum pages, but seems just empty in yours. If I unpin those tabs it looks like this:

I'm out if ideas to be honest.

trying with the .sh.bin (had to sleep yesterday...)
Again I run into the {} thing and work around it as before, installer runs and recommends to close other running programs, I close the browser (hoping the installer doesn't mess with it) and proceed, installer warns the directory exists (there's the .log file from the .zip version that I had unpacked in a different place, oh well...), proceed, installs, complains about {} again (that must be something off on my machine I guess), _JAVA_OPTIONS again, runs (I used the exec.sh this time, to check whether the problem is with the included JRE 11), works, opens the authentication page.
Here' the .log from the .zip version (it shows that some warnings are actually non-problems):

.log from the .sh.bin is the same plus it now detects JRE 11.
I notice at least two directories appeared (~/.rfb and ~/.irpf) that may affect the program execution, maybe get rid of them (rename rather than delete, just in case) and try again. Actually, at this point I'd nuke every trace of the program, upgrade, reboot and start anew.
There's an uninstall script in the program directory, very similar to the .sh.bin initial shell script.

Still I have no idea what's going on.

I have the docs of it safely backed up, can nuke it. Will try now.

Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking maybe something is going on with the two browsers

Vivaldi (my default browser)

does it mean “technically” default (as in, configured something to make it default) or just the “favorite” one you generally use?

(sorry writing in a rush, back to familiy gathering, i’ll be back later)

Properly configured.

Nuked everything I found of it... .rfb, .receitanet, .irpf, .java... nothing. I still get the waiting for authentication popup rolling and nothing happens.

Changed default browser do Firedragon, still nothing.

Is it possible that this tool listens for a login on a local webserver? Maybe the issue is also a closed port in the firewall, since I can't imagine how this government website would signal the client that you logged into a session without some kind of open port.

Could you run the application and check for ports used by that application via netstat -tunlp?

Both of these browsers have built-in popup blockers that are enabled by default. Try disabling the popup blocker, or try another browser like Firefox.

it does, indeed - as pointed out in the logs when it shows up “HTTP server started”. The login endpoint on the gov.br will redirect back to a localhost address to pass the necessary authentication info. The problem here still being that the program, which @meanruse’s execution was able to complete properly, didn’t happen here.

The service runs on port 9991:

I really haven’t considered that case…? I thought that even with a popup blocker, something would show up - like if you try to xdg-open https://forum.garudalinux.org.

Installed Firefox, Opera and even Midori (never had heard of it before). Made sure they had popup blocker settings turned off.

xdg-open check.

But still nothing =( opening firefox from the terminal, doesn’t seem like anything even reached it

I see port 9991 in the netstat output. Try opening the firewall on that port, maybe also connecting to that with your browser does something.

Heh, not that simple (both http and https return the same)

I thought maybe (despite it returning a valid HTTP status code) it could be blocked by firewall... then, even though wiki says UFW is preinstalled, doesn't seem to be the case for dragonized?

Settings GUI confirms, "firewall is disabled" (not really an issue here, my networking assets take care of external stuff).

So not a firewall issue either.
