Can't open settings menu

[Masterjuggler]

I'm running deluged with a thin client, and I recently became unable to open the settings menu either on my thin client or locally on my server. I can see the settings menu open for a split second right after I close the client though.
Here's the output from deluged --version:

Code: Select all

deluged 2.0.5-0-202112151848-ubuntu18.04.1
libtorrent: 1.1.14.0
Python: 3.6.9
OS: Linux 4.15.0-163-generic

And opening deluge-gtk from a terminal outputs:

Code: Select all

I made sure Twisted is updated to the latest version, and tried rolling it back to a previous version. I'm not really sure how to proceed with troubleshooting this, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you try with a clean profile, so e.g rename profile dir to include -bak, or delete, with deluge(*) closed. If ubuntu then maybe /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge, and possibly ~/.config/deluge. Do it in both server/client if needed, as you run thinclient. Anyway, sounds like a bad config-option or something - I know brackets not allowed in interface-binding setting, so maybe you've defined some IPv6 interface? Never tested it though, or if even allows saving such to config.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I managed to find the setting that was causing the issue. My config is in ~/.config/deluge, and I found that the listen_ports and outgoing_ports in core.conf were formatted as:

Code: Select all

"listen_ports": [
         "[",
         ",",
         "]"
    ],

I have no idea why it came to be this way because it's been ages since I touched the port ranges, but I was able to simply edit the config back to two lines with integer values instead of those three weird lines. Now I can open the settings menu in both the server running deluged and my thin client no problem.

Hopefully this helps someone in the future with a similar issue.
