Running Deluge from terminal

[melat0nin]

Hi all

I'm at work and I've SSH'd into my home machine, and I'm trying to get Deluge to run. I get a string of errors about gtk, and the thing seems to stop.

I've tried the --ui null and --ui web command line options but I get an error saying --ui isn't an option.

I'm a bit of a noob with the terminal, so any help would be appreciated. All I really want to do is run the program as if I had run it from home in person, then I will be able to access the web ui plugin which I already have set up and working.

Thanks, but that doesn't work:

Code: Select all

laurence@melat0nin:~$ deluge -u web
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
Usage: deluge [options] [torrents to add]

deluge: error: no such option: -u

btw I'm running 0.5.8.9

the 0.5 branch doesn't support being run without a head (i.e. you can't run it over ssh).
you need to get the latest version from the download page.

Ahh I see

Is there any way I can tell my machine to run it as though I was there, though? So it will come up on the desktop's screen etc (not my ssh client screen)? It's desktop ubuntu so X etc are all running. Would be good to be able to do the equivalent of double clicking the icon (heh), i.e. not running it headless.

if you install the latest version then you can run it from ssh using

Code: Select all

deluge -u web

and then control it using the web ui.
with 0.5 you would have to run deluge from your home computer to be able to control it remotely using the web ui.

the latest 1.0 builds are still in RC though so not all the plugins have been ported and not all the bugs have been found
