FAQ: What is a magnet uri, and how do I get Deluge[...]

[nomnex]

Ubuntu Linux, Karmic
Deluge 1.19

FAQ provides the following commands:

http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... handlethem

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'deluge "%s"'
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/needs_terminal false
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true

Output:
A new instance of Deluge opens each time I click on a Magnet link. The torrent does not download (the window remains empty). Something is wrong with these commands.

How do I remove this 3 lines in the gconf-editor from the command line? thanks

here is the command

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet

Some feedback is welcome, I did not have the problem in Jaunty.

Same result when I edit the Firfox about:config file.

A window pops-up when I click on a magnet link and I can select deluge, however the magnet link ONLY open a second instance of deluge and the torrent does not downoad.

I guess it's time to open a bug on launchpad?

Use 1.2.0 as it fixes some magnet uri issues.
