Deluge doesn't want to start

[dwelf]

Hey, just recently decided to retry Deluge after a long time, looks like it's getting along nicely.

Unfortunately deluge will not start (I used the stable .deb for Feist i386, 0.5.5-1, on the homepage). I can't upgrade to an svn or anything because my torrent sites require me to be using a "stable" client.

I can't get deluge to start when I click it in the menu. When I attempt to run it from command line, I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 45, in <module>
import deluge._dbus as dbus
ImportError: No module named _dbus

try to purge your deb

sudo apt-get remove deluge --purge

and try after to reinstall

it may work

you do not have the dbus python bindings , you need to install python-dbus -> apt-get install python-dbus for debian e.g.

I am getting the exact same error and have tried both solutions with no luck. I think I installed from a tar.gz setup the first install and then tried installing a deb package over it to upgrade. I am able to uninstall the deb but when I go to the original install folder and do a make uninstall, I get:
make: ***No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop

I went in and manually deleted the /root/.config/deluge folder and tried to reinstall the deb file and still have no luck.

I did an apt-get install pythin-dbus and it says I have the latest version installed.

Thanks!

this is because you're crazy. you should NOT be running deluge as root. ever. you shouldnt be running ANYTHING as root unless you absolutely have to. welcome to linux

I'm sorry but i have the same problem and i am running from svn on an Opensuse 10.2
i do have the python dbus bindings
i don't run deluge as root

I just ran into this too with latest SVN 1762. Erased all in .config/deluge but no luck. Had to go back to revision 1695 wich works well.

It takes forever to compile on my 400Mhz so I can't try all revisions, unfortunately.
