Supplied Deluge Plugins Do Not Exist

[teh_g]

I just installed Deluge 1.3 on my Debian box. The supplied plugins (label, execute, etc.) are not in the ~/.config/plugins" directory. I also do not see them in the WebUI as being installed. Did I miss an important step in my install process? Is there a place for me to get the .egg files post-install?

Also, sorry for the three support posts. I like doing separate posts for different problems, makes it easier for me to keep track of. Thanks for all the help. I know that I need it as a Deluge/Debian noob.

Plugins installed with Deluge don't get installed to ~/.config/deluge/plugins.
You should see them under the webui preferences, however I should warn you that you can't enable plugins through the web ui (yet).

I don't see them in the WebUI. I also don't get anything back when I run "plugin -l" or "plugin -s" from the deluge console. There aren't any files in the /.config/plugins directory.

[johnnyg]

Run:

Code: Select all

python -c 'from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()'

That should print out a directory (it's /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ for me).
Under that directory you should see a directory called deluge-1.3.0-<version info>.egg and in that you should see deluge/plugins which should contain all the plugins.

Mine returned:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

In that directory, there is no mention of deluge that I can see (folder or file). I do have a python2.4 and python 2.6 directories as well, but there isn't much of anything in either of those.

I assume my not having these files would be why the plugins aren't appearing.

Deluge has to be there, otherwise you wouldn't be able to run it.
However, it doesn't seem like you are alone when it comes to not having plugins: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... 61#p143261

I am definitely running Deluge. I have torrents running and everything. There is definitely not any Deluge stuff in that folder.

I got a simple idea, I can just search for *.egg in my whole system with "find / '*.egg'". This is the output:

Code: Select all

$ find /usr -name '*.egg'

Could it be that since I have Python 2.5 (and these look like Python 2.6) that they aren't appearing in Deluge? How do I get these to work? Can I simply move them to the plugins directory in /.config/plugins?

Also, I found the directory you had mentioned before, /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/deluge-1.3.0.egg-info. That has links to files in my python shared directory.

Nice thinking.

Yeah, that's most definitely the reason.
From memory you can't just rename the .egg, you need to recreate it with your desired python version (in your case 2.5).

However, is python 2.5 the latest version available on debian? This could be a packaging mistake...

[teh_g]

I think that Python 2.5 is the 'recommended' version, because 2.6 is still marked as in testing perhaps? Would it be detrimental to Deluge (and other Python dependencies) to uninstall 2.5 and put 2.6 on my system?
