Deluge won't start (Ubuntu 9.04/Deluge 1.2.1)

Post by dJe781 »

Hi everyone.

Yesterday, I installed Deluge 1.2.1 from the PPA, but it fails to start, anytime.
If I try to launch it through Applications > Internet > Deluge, a window pops in the taskbar telling that it's starting, but eventually it disappears.
If I try to launch it through a console, here's the error being dropped :

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/deluge/ui/gtkui/gtkui.py:167: Warning: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
  self.gnome_prog = gnome.init("Deluge", deluge.common.get_version())
I may add that I failed at properly installing it from sources before using the PPA, and that I've never used Deluge before.

Thanks for any clue.

i ran into a similar issue so you could try these steps:

pgrep for any running deluge processes and kill them.
remove deluge lock file ~/.config/deluge/ipc/deluge-gtk.lock
start deluge-gtk from console

There was no running process for deluge.

remove deluge lock file ~/.config/deluge/ipc/deluge-gtk.lock
Ok, file removed.

start deluge-gtk from console
Still receiving the same error message :/

I restarted the station, just in case, and it solved the problem.
I guess that some process stuck the whole thing...

Thanks for your help :)
