Deluge Forum

Hi!

Just compiled Deluge succesfully on Ubuntu 7.04 with all libraries. But when trying to start Deluge from terminal I get this;

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:69: GtkWarning: could not open display
warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 54, in <module>
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/_dbus.py", line 669, in __new__
mainloop=mainloop)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/_dbus.py", line 293, in __new__
mainloop=mainloop)
dbus.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

What's wrong? Should I enclose some more info?

do and post the answer

Sorry for the late answer, but a reboot made it visible in the Programs menu (internet apps). So I think a reboot of x-system would have solved the problem.

And no I wasn't root, but sudo. Maybe that was the problem?

yes, sudo and running as root as pretty much the same thing. you really shouldnt run something like a bittorrent client as root...it's just asking for trouble glad you solved your problems
