cannot get 0.5.8.9 to run on kubuntu 8.04

Hey,
I'm having an annoyingly persistent fail-to-start error on kubuntu hardy:

Code: Select all

mark@pegasus:~$ deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 123, in <module>
    subprocess.Popen(["dbus-launch", "deluge"] + sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 594, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1147, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have tried

removing *.state from ~/.config/deluge
removing (ok, renaming) ~/.config/deluge
both repository and website versions.

very upsetting, as I am currently without my torrenty goodness
any help appreciated!

oh, and cheers, as ever, to markybob et al for the best torrent client going!

ok, I'm a tard who needs to learn to use the forum search feature. this issue has already been resolved in another thread... though not quite explicity:

If you are getting this error on a debian or debian like distro (*ubuntu ) I just read that dbus-launch has been moved into dbus-x11 package and they havn't set the dependencies properly.. Someone should not this in the install instructions on the main deluge site cause this problem is a real pain in the butt

so basically, open synaptic, and install the package 'dbus-x11'. or alternatively, open a console and type:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dbus-x11

and MIRV is right, this should be noted somewhere, or fixed in the repos.

Cheery-bye!
