Ubuntu PPA Update

Anywhere I can get deluge-gtk 1.3.1?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install deluge-gtk

I use deluge with ubuntu, and untill now it has worked like a dream!

But last friday I upgraded my dist to Natty Narwhale, deluge still works, but all the plugins now missing. wiped from the disk! My first thought was to reinstall, but the PPA does not work, my only option in synaptic is to uninstall.

Any timeframe on PPA for natty?

this is because Natty uses Python 2.7 by default. You do not need to use the PPA as the official ubuntu repo has a slightly tweaked version for Natty.

For 3rd party plugins, you will need to get the python2.7 egg.

I'm having the same problem. You cannot install the egg files because the install/open file menu doesn't work. Neither open nor cancel. The only way to close that window down is the X. I've also tried dropping the eggs into .config/deluge/pugins and rescanning but nothing shows up.

What happens if you use a natty based gui and a remote daemon running in python 2.6? Do I need to downgrade my local desktop python to 2.6 to get 3rd party plugins to work?

I am having the same issue. I was running a daemon on a Natty instance but controlling it via GTK with a laptop that was running python 2.6. Upgraded the laptop and now I can't manage/see/use the plugins.

I purged the Deluge repo's installation, removed the Deluge PPA and installed from the Official repos - but I am having the same issues. Please update the PPA for Natty, I will donate $20 (even though I know it is more effort than that and if the paypal link were working!).

Simply make sure that your server has the py2.6 and your client has the py2.7 plugin installed (or vice versa). Make sure to install the plugin to the client before connecting to the server though.

Nothing is different with the plugin it is simply that your operating system has a different version of python so will only see eggs that match that version.

There is nothing wrong with the version in the official Ubuntu repo. You can check on Natty that the plugins are placed here: /usr/share/pyshared/deluge/plugins

Please, don't forget Jaunty (9.04) users when building Deluge 1.3.2 PPA packages

Thanks.

I got 1.3.1 working on Natty using the Ubuntu repositories. Please consider updating your PPA in the future.

I have done this and it works. I followed the 'how to make your own eggs' advice you linked to elsewhere and made my own egg where I could get source.

I even posted my yarss 2.7 egg in the relevant plugin thread in case anyone else wanted it.

Thanks for the advice.
