daemon wont start on 1.2.0_rc1

[SableSlayer]

I decided that I wanted to update from 1.1.9 to 1.2.0_rc1 so i removed deluge from my pc using "sudo apt-get --purge remove deluge*" and deleting the ~/.config/deluge folder

after that i installed deluge using the PPA repo using the normal command. Upon starting deluge i got an error about the daemon

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge-1.2.0_rc1_dev-py2.6.egg/deluge/ui/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 267, in _on_reactor_start

ImportError: No module named libtorrent

I have no idea what is going wrong with deluge and would love to have it up and running again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

sidenote: after i did that i tried going back to version 1.1.9 using the .deb packages on getdeb. The Deluge window popped up but no icons or anything and it was frozen.

Looks like you are missing the deluged package. The name of the package for the daemon changed from deluge-core to deluged. So try installing deluged. You should then be able to run Deluge.

I installed deluged but the daemon still wont start.. :\ i didn't get an error message this time either :\

Back up your old .config/deluge directory and delete it. Try restarting the demon then. Had the exact same issue and that worked for me.

I deleted the folder and still get the same error message as before when left in classic mode. Any suggestions?

[pdragon]

I read somewhere else that the python-twisted package is also required for 1.2rc1. I saw that before I even tried starting it up, so I had it installed already. Check that it's installed. Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be the problem.

That error message is suggesting that you don't have libtorrent installed or that it can't see it if you do.

Thanks for yalls help, even though i wasnt able to get it running again. I think ill just wait till the new ubuntu releases and try fresh

Finally got it working by installing it from source... Yay!
