Deluge 1.2 not running on Ubuntu 8.04

[aeriko]

Hi,

I', experiencing the following problem with deluge 1.2:

After I start deluge the program start but it is frozen. I can see only the main window but I can do nothing else.

Any suggestion?

The old deluge version I had worked fine !

Actually I'm running Ubuntu 8.04

I have the same problem, HALP!

When I run from the console there are errors about libglade, perhaps this is the problem?

Fixed!

The version of python-twisted in hardy is too old now for deluge 1.2 and up.
I could build 1.1.9 from source on hardy, but not 1.2.x

Upgrade twisted from this PPA and deluge 1.2 will work:

https://launchpad.net/~twisted-dev/+archive/ppa

I'm going to go try building 1.2.1 from source, I bet that will work now as well

Got 1.2.1 working on hardy.

1) upgrade twisted with aforementioned ppa
2) removed deluge 1.x packages from system
3) download deluge 1.2.1 source, extract it
4) download libtorrent 0.14.9 source, extract it, rename folder "libtorrent" and put it in the deluge source folder
5) install every libboost-blah-blah-dev package pretty much
6) build and install deluge 1.2.1
7) webui is not working for me yet edit: fixed it, need to install 'mako' package.
