qBittorrent

Warning: Local domain socket was not closed cleanly, deleting file... Segmentation fault

Asked by xaelius

This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10, and a fresh install of qBittorrent. From the very first run, it stays open about 5 seconds and then closes. Executing it from the terminal I get the following when it crashes:
Warning: Local domain socket was not closed cleanly, deleting file...
Segmentation fault

Steps I have taken to no avail:
apt-get remove qbittorrent --purge
apt-get clean
apt-get autoremove (for removal of dependencies that were left behind)
I deleted the .qbittorrent folder located in /home/"user" and then I reinstalled using:
apt-get reinstall qbittorrent

None of this has worked in correcting the issue. This is my neighbors machine, we just installed 8.10 on it, was running qBittorrent on 8.04 with no problems. I myself am running 8.10 on my own machine and have no problems at all with qBittorrent. Any ideas?

Alright...I feel stupid. Problem seems to be solved. After disabling UPnP in the qBittorrent preferences, I no longer get the local domain socket error and it runs normal. I feel stupid...I'm going to bed.

local domain socket error is not a bug. this is just debug output for me. It simply means that qBittorrent was not properly closed last time and that it did not close the socket before exiting. Therefore, qBittorrent does some cleanup on next startup and you get this message but this is not a problem.

For the crash, it may help to run qBittorrent in gdb and send me the backtrace. This is most likely due to a bug in qbittorrent or libtorrent that should be fixed as soon as possible (with your help) :)
