rc3: ui not starting on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)

[ihatetoregister]

hello,

i was running 1.19 from launchpad before and everything worked nicely. then i accidentally did an upgrade to 1.2 rc3.

i am running a headless ubuntu 8.04 lts (hardy) without graphics and use deluge via webui from my windows notebook.

i've got launchpad in my sources.list, so i dunno why it didn't upgrade before. anyway, now i got everything on 1.2 rc3. the daemon starts nicely and seems to be working. i can also fire up "deluge -u web" as i usually do. as soon as i connect to it from my remote notebook, the following error messages appear on the shell, where i started deluge. obviously the web-interface doesn't appear, the browser stays blank.

Code: Select all

Deluge RCs aren't Hardy friendly...almost all the packages used by Deluge are not available in the right versions from the repositories. I would look at all the dependencies listed and compare them to what you have installed. If you want to stick with it though you're going to need to get familiar with compiling your own source until someone releases an update ppa that works.

Oh, and yeah I used the ppa build for Hardy from https://launchpad.net/~deluge-team/+arc ... lter=hardy
It didn't work for me...ended up jumping to the next RC and compiling all the missing dependencies myself

[ihatetoregister]

thanks alot for the statement.

i guess i won't go to the troubles of compiling stuff myself to resolve dependencies. i'd much rather go back to 1.1.9 which was working nicely before.

BUT: this doesnt work either. i grabbed those from getdeb

Code: Select all

deluge-torrent_1.1.9-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
deluge-common_1.1.9-1~getdeb1_all.deb
deluge-core_1.1.9-1~getdeb1_all.deb

then i installed all of them with "aptitude install ..." which worked fine without errors. i could also fire up the daemon, but there's no "deluge" application to start the UI.

Code: Select all

The program 'deluge' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install deluge-torrent

but this installs a false version from the respositories and not 1.1.9.

any ideas?

Pretty sure you need the deluge-webui package as well

[ihatetoregister]

unfortunately there is no such package there:

Code: Select all

http://old.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=deluge

[ihatetoregister]

ok, here's a few more things:

1) in order to manually install the files from getdeb with aptitude install, you also need to have launchpad-for-hardy activated in the sources.list. it seems this is necessary to resolve some otherwise unresolvable dependencies.

2) i've tried to install deluge-webui from this source. (i've googled for it)

Code: Select all

http://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/mirrors/getdeb/ubuntu/jaunty/de/deluge-webui_1.1.9-1~getdeb1_all.deb

it's not working (of course) because it's a version for jaunty, but there seems to be no version for hardy available. but with this version i can at least get to the login-screen on the remote webbrowser. please, dear people of deluge-island, why are you not providing deluge-webui 1.1.9 for hardy?

[russel]

i'm add ppa:deluge-team/ppa for hardy (important for Hardy)
and run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install deluge deluge-web python-mako

without "python-mako" i'm get same errors like in first message.
