Sorry for a typo, it should have been

lsb_release -crid

But anyhow, you are running an unofficial version of qbittorrent from a PPA. We can help only with the packages provided by the Ubuntu repositories. If you have a problem with a program version from a PPA, you have to contact the PPA provider.

oh, ok, I originally downloaded it from the software center, I guess it changed over on the update, so how do I switch it back?

You must have added the PPA yourself, that does not happen automatically.

You can use ppa-purge to remove the PPA from your sources and to revert to the official package version.

Could also contact the PPA maintainer to report the issue. The version in the Ubuntu repository has been tried and tested. If you start adding 3rd party sources then don't be surprised if you get issues

 Report the issue and that is all that happens its just a bug list, no fix's. So no point.
 Can't I just go to the list in "other software" and remove them? ppa-purge?? I have no clue on that one can you explain?
I need to get rid of it and get back to the one from the software center, I get that, but how?

I need to get rid of it and get back to the one from the software center, I get that, but how?
Do I need to post another question about this?

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

Will do it.

Why did you add the PPA anyway?

I saw there was a up date for it and did the 3 lines in the terminal

OK, what is new in the update that you needed?

ok it's now on v3.1.8 and still not working it's doing the same things. I see no change other then it went from v3.1.11 to v3.1.8

Then why did you add the PPA at all?

I thought I was up dating it

I went to the page to see about some setting saw there was a newer one and got it. Why put out a newer one if its not going to work?

This is one of the most frustrating things in IT. Users always thinking that just because a newer version number is out they have to try and install it and it's not always the case.

The PPA you used wasn't "put out" at all. Somebody downloaded the source and compiled it FOR THEMSELVES.

PPA is a (P)ersonal (P)ackage (A)rchive, so the fact that it doesn't work on your system is moot. It is simply a maintainable package source for the owner. The availability to other users is just an extra.

Ok, that suck there should be a warning, so how do I get rid of it and get the right one back in?

ok I see all the search engines are now working. But when I pick a file it's not going to transfer to download.

You might try resetting your qbittorrent configuration by deleting (or renaming) the configuration file(s) (probably ~/.config/qBittorrent/)

I uninstalled it, then deleted all the files with its name, then reinstalled it and that worked.
