Ubuntu 7.10 Install Crashes on Add Torrent

[TheWired]

I have just installed a new machine with Ubuntu 7.10 (fully patched) and ran through the steps in the FAQ to install the latest version of Deluge from SVN. It installs properly (so it seems) and I can run the program. However, whenever I point it towards a torrent (from the machine not the web UI) it will just close. I ran deluge from the terminal to see if it would give me some kind of error message when it crashes, but nothing.

I have searched the Support Forum and FAQ, but I haven't found a fix that has worked or mimics the same problem. Any help will certainly be greatly appreciated.

Just as an update with a little more information, I have removed my SVN installation and now am trying to install Deluge through the .deb file. I installed the same dependencies from the FAQ/SVN install to install the .deb file. I added 1 extra that Deluge was looking for. The packages I installed were:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install g++ make python-all-dev python-all python-dbus python-gtk2 python-notify librsvg2-common python-xdg python-support subversion libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-serialization-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev python-pyopenssl

sudo dpkg -i Desktop/deluge-torrent_0.5.8.8-1_i386.gutsy.deb

I ran deluge from the terminal and received the following output

This looks all normal as it is running, however after I add a torrent to the program the GUI closes and I am left with nothing. My next debug step was deleting my saved config and trying again. I removed .config/deluge and ran Deluge from the terminal and saw this.

It shows that my config was removed and I had to go through the steps to create a new one. Once again the GUI would crash as soon as I add a torrent. Has anyone successfully installed and runs Deluge on a bare Gusty install? I have a test environment in a VM and my server at home both with a new 7.10 install and both are experiencing the same problems.

Just upgraded 2 ubuntu 7.10 boxes to 0.5.8.8 and both crash when I try to add torrent. I had to use the "rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state" command to get Deluge to start but I've upgraded many times before(with and without using that command)and never lost torrents or been unable to add torrents.

Deluge doesn't even start up for me. It does sweet FA.

I'm starting to get really tired of this client. The newer versions just introduce more and more problems. At least I had a reasonably working client before this evening.

I'm seriously thinking about going back to Azureus and wait until it really gets it **** together.

Fast resume still not working i presume? (not mention in changelog about it).

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful. I'm just disappointed and tired and feel i'm screwing up my system to be a beta tester. I've wasted a lot of ratio because of stupid problems too.

I wanted to use Deluge as a stand alone server that I could access with the web UI plugin. I liked the ease of use and encryption from Deluge and had moved from Azureus to use it as my default BitTorrent client, but I have had troubles with this one installation. Is this a new bug that has been documented to be fixed? I just haven't been able to get anyone to give me some kind of direction towards a fix or even an acknowledgment that its a known bug and will be fixed in a new release.

I've left my bug report on #deluge-IRC, the devs are pretty much always there as they're here on the forum. I'm hoping once they figure out what's the problem, it'll be solved.

Known issue unfortunately. See http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... f=7&t=4455.
