help Deluge stopped responding

[stred]

hello all this is my 1st post

i am using Deluge 5.8 in ubuntu 7.10 for 2 weeks now without problems.. yesterday i was playin with some settings(i think it was the scheduler plugin i am not sure) and i noticed that my torrents stopped downloading.. i unchecked the scheduler plugin but nothing changed
then rebooted the pc and started deluge.. still the torrents not running and even worse neither the preferences nor the plugins buttons work!

thinks i tried:

typing `rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state`
uninstalled(complete) and reinstalled deluge 5.8
uninstalled(complete) and reinstalled deluge 5.3
uninstalled(complete) and reinstalled deluge 5.8.1
built and installed deluge 5.8.1

nothing! it just doesnt work!
i noticed that when i press the preferences button i get a .crash file that writes..

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/interface.py", line 867, in show_preferences_dialog_clicked
self.show_preferences_dialog()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/interface.py", line 859, in show_preferences_dialog
preferences_dialog.show(self, self.window)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/dialogs.py", line 148, in show
self.glade.get_widget("spin_torrents").set_value(float(self.preferences.get("max_active_torrents")))
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

the same error i get when i run deluge from a console..
i have upload the .crash file within this post

pls help, i am fairly new to linux.. dont know what else to do

If you don't find what you have change, try remove your deluge config directory:

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.config/deluge

if you enable the scheduler plugin and it's during the time you wouldn't be downloading, it'll set max active torrents to 0.
when you disable it, it forgets to set max active torrents back to whatever it previously was.
that's why your torrents stopped downloading.

that doesn't however explain the rest...

"the rest" should be fixed in 0.5.8.2, btw.
