[solved] Cannot connect to deluged via console [1.1.5]

Post by sympathy »

Using Deluge 1.1.5 on Ubuntu Server 9.04 Alpha (also tested on Debian sid with same problem):

I was using 1.1.0 and everything was smooth, but recently decided to migrate my server to the new Ubuntu Jaunty and in the process check out 1.1.5. I connect to the server (deluged) with the Windows GtkUI and never had to enable remote access. So, following the ThinClient guide I logged on to the server and tried connecting to the console...

Code: Select all

:~$ deluge -u console
[ERROR   ] 22:32:27 ui:72 No module named console.main
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/deluge/ui/ui.py", line 61, in __init__
    from deluge.ui.console.main import ConsoleUI
ImportError: No module named console.main
[ERROR   ] 22:32:27 ui:73 There was an error whilst launching the request UI: console
[ERROR   ] 22:32:27 ui:74 Look at the traceback above for more information.
Not at all sure what this means. I then tried manually editing ~/.config/deluge/core.conf, and found the part with allow_remote but couldn't parse what exactly I needed to do in order to set it to True. Let me know if any other info would be useful.

Edit:
By comparing my old deluge core.conf file to the new one, I determined that

Code: Select all

sS'allow_remote'
p19
I00
should be set with "I01" instead, which makes sense. This does solve my immediate problem, but does not give me the ability to connect to deluged via the console.

Edit2:
By the way, grats on the new release. Seems like my torrents get up to speed much faster, something I've missed since jumping from uTorrent. Program as a whole seems more stable, doesn't make a fuss about anything. Yay!

I see, thanks. I can't say it makes sense to me to not include all UIs by default, especially when the package requires no additional dependencies, but I won't pretend that I understand whatever design framework you've laid out. Cheers.
