Address already in use - I'm stumped.

Hello,
I had Deluge installed by default (Linux Mint) and it was uninstalled at some point. I have since used synaptic to reinstall it, but it will not start.
I removed it via synaptic and told it to "completely" remove it.
Reinstalled via synaptic and it still won't start. ( I was not thinking to launch it from the console and look for error messages yet. Linux noob.)
Did a complete uninstall again via synaptic.
Installed the debian package from the download page of the Deluge website.
Now I get this when I try to start it:
Code: Select all
no existing Deluge session
Starting new Deluge session...

I really miss having a nice BT client since leaving Windows and uTorrent behind. I'm looking forward to exploring Deluge if I can get it running!
Thanks in advance,

this means you have another client using the ports assigned to deluge. probably azureus or something else running. close them, wait a few seconds, then try again

I apparently had bitorrent and python-torrent(?) installed, but nothing was running. (I haven't touched a bt client on this machine in at least a month.)
I did a complete uninstall of everything, including Deluge again, and then reinstalled it from scratch.
Same error.
Wouldn't it be easy to just edit a config file and change something? When it says address, does it mean the port? Otherwise I don't know what IP address it would be referring to.
Thanks for the quick reply, and at least I got that other stuff out of there!

package 'bittorrent' conflicts. yes, it means port. edit ~/.config/deluge/prefs.state and change
sS'listen_on'
p26
(lp27
F6881
aF6889
to something like
sS'listen_on'
p26
(lp27
F52923
aF52933

A nice solution would be to start with a random port and inform the user when catching the exception instead of just dying.

Yes it would be a nice solution. Please don't hesitate to send us the patch.

I'm working on it, but I don't have much time until my midterm exams are done.
Anyways, I have started, and written a function to check if the port is available
Code: Select all
def try_port(port):
import socket
port = int(port)
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
s.bind((socket.gethostname(), port))
except socket.error:
return 0
#we know the port is ready to use
s.close()
return port
I will integrate it with apply_prefs when I get the time

A better way would be to handle the libtorrent alert 'listen_failed'.
