Cannot install plugin on Deluge 2.0.4.dev38

[megaksa]

I tried to install particularly ltConfig plugin. I think the issue is that in plugin install Web UI, the egg file is selected as "[object FileList]" and then is uploaded with the same name. This probably causes deluge to skip that plugin.

Yeah, that's been reported a few times with different plugins and webui plugin-installs, so instead install plugins manually i.e. copy/move egg into '~/.config/deluge/plugins' on both ends if using thin-client and in config folders of the users running deluge.

What method did you use to install 2.0.4?

Sorry not OP, but he's using arch, which changed some time ago to dev-build in there official repos instead of stable, as to many bugs otherwise.

I don't really understand why this doesn't work for you: (uninstall old first if having such, e.g if from pip then 'sudo pip3 uninstall deluge', or without 'sudo' if '--user' install)

If wanting it under '/usr/local/bin': (on ubuntu etc, but vanilla pip, like on arch, installs to /usr/bin direct, which I don't like, but regardless)

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install git+git://deluge-torrent.org/deluge.git

Or if wanting instead under own user's '.local/bin' dir:

Code: Select all

pip3 install --user git+git://deluge-torrent.org/deluge.git

Else do it more manually(for '/usr/local/bin' install):

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/deluge-torrent/deluge
cd deluge
sudo pip3 install .

These all give you very latest deluge-2.0.4.dev84, last updated last month, in contrary to that develop PPA from a year ago.

You need git and python3-pip installed for above(+ python3-libtorrent and python3-gi-cairo to run). It used to fail in source installs if not having git installed(atleast on windows), in older times, because a version check internally(get_version(), and needed make deluge_version text-file manually to workaround), don't know if fixed(why I recommend just using git). It should be possible to install with pip from url of zip also(from github), but fails I just checked(with other issue), though all variations above I tested succesfully again just now, on an ubuntu VM.
