I don't know what I've done

[adelphiaUK]

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 as a VM and all was running smootly. Until this morning.

When I came back to my PC and started my VM, everything worked fine until I tried to start Deluge and then got an error about not being able to start in stand alone mode.

As I'm running the dektop version of Ubuntu, thinking it would be easier to get up and running, I don't really want to start it in demon mode (or whatever it's called) but I have no idea how to fix the issue. It says to look at the logs. Well, Deluge isn't creatinbg any as I don't have them switched on.

One thing I have got though, is the output when trying toi run it from a terminal window. That follows.

Code: Select all

Anyone got any advice on what's wrong and how to fix it, or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

I use 2 plug-ins; LabelPlus and DefaultTrackers. Everything else, as far as I know, is bog standard.

Thanks in advance.

Hello adelphiaUK,

Try to disable the plugins first (use the config core file to remove them). Then try to start deluge-gtk from the terminal.

Hello adelphiaUK,

Sorry for sounding so dumb, but how do I switch the config files? More to the point, where are they? In ~/configs/deluge/ ? (Excuse me if I've got that totally wrong).

Open core.conf and edit the

Code: Select all

 "enabled_plugins":

line.

Nope. That didn't work.

It appears there's a line in core.py ('ignore_resume_timestamps': True,) which is causing the issue; if I comment it out, Deluge-gtk starts OK but my LabelPlus plugin doesn't show up, even if I rename the trailer to the current python version (ie. -py3.12.egg).

I'm not sure if Python was recently updated LabelPlus doesn't even show up anymore under the Plugins section (despite being checked in the list).

How do I tell deluge to run using python 3.9 or even 3.11?

At this rate, I may have to switch allegiance and go to an alternate torrenting app.

I would turn on debug logging and check the log files to see what happens at startup as well as when you hit refresh on the plugins page.

OK. Using

Code: Select all

deluge-gtk -l "/media/sf_Apps/Deluge/Version 2/ubuntu-log.log" -L debug

The only two errors I have in the log file (doing a search for ERROR) and both relate to the same thing:

Code: Select all

KeyError: 'unknown name in settings_pack: ignore_resume_timestamps'

However, in the console window, it gives these two errors:

Code: Select all

(deluge:5877): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 09:05:18.625: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(deluge:5877): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 09:05:24.139: gdk_device_get_state: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

which are not evident in the log file. I'd not noticed them before as I guess I was expecting an error at the end of execution, not at the beginning.

I have attached the whole log file in case you want to see the whole thing.

I really appreciate you helping me through this, as I would have given up yonks ago!

I suspect wrong libtorrent used now, built for qbittorrent, with deprecated functions off.

Check here for instructions/hints, and sorry little long thread.

Uh oh. I installed qbittorrent AFTER these issues started happening and, to be honest, I seem to have less issues with it "freezing". It alsdo seems to have the functionality that I need built in using categories (instead of labels).

I don't want to just dump Deluge as I've used it for quite some time in the past, but I also don't want to dump qbittorrent just yet.

Can you think of a way to get them to both operational, like installing the necessary libtorrent libraries etc in deluge's own folder?

I'll await your response.

[mhertz]

I posted before some instructions to get both running.

viewtopic.php?p=238814#p238814

As said in the post, ned remove qBittorrent PPA first, to not bring in that incompatible libtorrent breaking deluge, and qbittorrent from non-ppa is new regardless. Instructions for that(remove qbittorrent ppa) is in later parts of linked thread in my previous post(as said in thread of linked post here).
