Deluge Forum

I have etch, installed 0.5.0 (svn), will not start because of this -

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 54, in ?
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/dbus/_dbus.py", line 266, in __new__
return Bus.__new__(cls, Bus.TYPE_SESSION, use_default_mainloop, private)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/dbus/_dbus.py", line 99, in __new__
bus._connection = dbus_bindings.bus_get(bus_type, private)
File "dbus_bindings.pyx", line 1692, in dbus_bindings.bus_get
dbus_bindings.DBusException: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I would really like to try and fix it,(gain some experience into deluge) if possible, if not then just uninstall. I am also unsure how to uninstall a svn install. Help to fix or uninstall appreciated.

0.5.0 is not svn. 0.5.0 is ancient. anwyay, this is a gutsy bug. you can get around it by doing `dbus-launch deluge` instead of just `deluge`

Thanks, the work around launches deluge. I have to use 0.5.0 on this etch box. I used the directions from your FAQs on building from SVN so I just thought it was used to install, like apt would, hey I don't know.
I originally had the backported debian package, all fine then something happened to my setup and I reinstalled using synaptic(now I know,shouldn't have)and it screwed up deluge, so I uninstalled using synaptic reinstalled using the how to build and install latest version from SVN, that's how I got to here.
Waiting for Lenny to be stable.
