Cannot click the "Add Torrent" button in Deluge GTK

[eric90]

Hello, I have two computers that are both running OpenSUSE 13.1 and Deluge 1.3.5. One is running the deluged daemon as a server, the other is running deluge-gtk.

Deluge-gtk successfully connects to the daemon on the server. However, I cannot click the Add Torrent button. It is not grayed out, it is clickable, but nothing happens when I click on it. Here is the output:

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Can you go to your machine running deluged and using deluge-console check `config download_location`

[eric90]

Download_location is set to 'None' .

I tried to set it to a path with 'config -s download_location /path/to/location' and I get an error.

Code: Select all

'Command' object has no attribute 'config'
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ret = self._commands[cmd].handle(*args, **options.__dict__)
    return self._set_config(*args, **options)
    self.config.write("Configuration value provided has incorrect type.")      
AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'config'

Can you provide the actual command and path used to generate that error

Also on your server can you get the result of these commands:

Code: Select all

python -c "import os; print os.environ.get('HOME')"
python -c "from os.path import expanduser; print expanduser('~')"
python -c "import os; from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_config_home; print os.path.exists(os.path.join(xdg_config_home, 'user-dirs.dirs'))"

[eric90]

The actual command is

Code: Select all

# deluge-console
config -s download_location /var/nfs/Downloads

The output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

# python -c "import os; print os.environ.get('HOME')"

/root

Code: Select all

# python -c "from os.path import expanduser; print expanduser('~')"

/root

Code: Select all

# python -c "import os; from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_config_home; print os.path.exists(os.path.join(xdg_config_home, 'user-dirs.dirs'))"

False

Ok the console error is due to download_location being set to None so can ignore that for now. What is puzzling though is how the download_location was set the None as that is causing all the trouble here.

Could you check what 'torrentfiles_location' is set to.

It would also be helpful if could you stop deluged, backup core.conf and then delete it (basically move it somewhere) so that after restarting deluged a new one is created and see what value download_location is.

[eric90]

Torrentfiles_location is set to 'None' .

After deleting core.conf, download_location is still 'None' .

[eric90]

Manually changing these settings does not seem to do anything different.

[Cas]

It should be fixed by manually changing it but I am trying to work out why it's being set to None in the first place as it is clearly a bug that some users are facing except I can't replicate it.

[Cas]

Are you happy to modify the source code to trace this bug?

If so can you find deluge/common.py:

Code: Select all

locate deluge/common.py

and add the following log line to it (ensure indent is 8 spaces not tabs):

Code: Select all

You may need to remove the core.conf as before but when you run deluged you should see log messages.

If you see (None,"/root") this would be the fix:
