Cannot set proxy setting

[matey]

Hey guys,

I just installed deluge on my virtual machine so I can easily download torrents. However, I am experiencing a strange issue - I cannot set a proxy for the trackers. When I put the information (IP and port) and click apply and OK, the next time I open the preferences it is not saved. I tried changing a different setting (number of active torrents) and that was successfully saved. I even checked the core.conf file and there is no proxy setting saved there.

Anyone got an idea why it is not saving the proxy setting?

Never had any problems here using a Socks5 proxy with Deluge 1.3.x.

As gderf, me neither. Though as stated, never tested using only a http/tracker-proxy and only Socks5.

Which version of deluge and linux or windows guest/VM, please?

I am using deluged 2.0.3-2-201906121747-ubuntu18.04.1
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1

I tried HTTP and Socks4/5, same result it does not get saved

Thanks for info. However i'm sorry that I cannot reproduce on my end using latest deluge2 on arch-linux. I tried enabling a socks5 proxy both with and without authentication and both "stuck" like usual.

The only thing I can suggest, is to enable debug-logging and trying again to get credentials saved and check log for errors, and/or post it here for others to check and you can also use that info to make a bug-ticket afterwards if an issue is found. Note if posting log(e.g. upload to pastebin and post link), then remove sensitive information first e.g. remove password and username of proxy etc - grep the log to make sure nothing is left/missed.

Debug-logging is enabled with:

Code: Select all

deluge -L debug -l ~/deluge-debug.log

Good luck.
