Starting deluge annoyance

[ingvildr]

Whenever deluge is started the starting deluge notification in the window list stays around for 10-20 seconds after with the mouse point still showing it is loading something, is there anyway to stop this.

Is that the loading blocklist window? Whenever I start the deluge it loads that for about 10 seconds as it's loading the blocklist.

No i dont use block lists

It looks like you are using old version of Deluge? ...and you are using Ubuntu? This should be no longer problem in the newer version of Deluge that don't have Internal anonymizing browser feature anymore.

I am using ubuntu 7.10 with the gutsy package from the deluge site (0.5.8.4), i've always had this problem even when switching to the backport packages provided by ubuntu.

Ah I see... It looks like someone has forgotten to remove several lines when Internal anonymizing browser feature was removed. You can edit in /usr/bin/deluge (if '/usr' is the prefix for Ubuntu as I am using FreeBSD) by remove these lines:

Code: Select all

if not deluge.common.windows_check():
    import platform
    if platform.system() == "Linux": # Add this, FreeBSD and other OSs than Linux do not have /etc/issue.
        print "checking for ubuntu..."
        if os.WEXITSTATUS(os.system('grep -iq "Ubuntu" /etc/issue')) == 0:
            if os.environ.get("MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME") != "/usr/lib/firefox":
                print "found and fixing ubuntu"
                os.environ["MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME"] = "/usr/lib/firefox"
                os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = "/usr/lib/firefox"
                subprocess.Popen(sys.argv)
                raise SystemExit

It should solves your problem. I saw same problem as your when I added same lines for FreeBSD a while ago until I have fixed in gecko (firefox, seamonkey, etc) packages for FreeBSD and removed these lines.
