deluge-torrent package

deluge won't load

Asked by mcneely.brandon

I don't know if this is in the right place. But, I have Kubuntu 8.04 and I used the adept-package-manager to install Deluge-Torrent. I can see it in my menu, but it will not load. I tried to use a term and it still will not load. Here is the result I get in the term.

brandon@Brandons-House:~$ deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 123, in <module>
    subprocess.Popen(["dbus-launch", "deluge"] + sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 594, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1147, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
brandon@Brandons-House:~$

can anyone help me figure this out? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brandon

Try the below command in a konsole:

rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state

Thanks for the help. It doesn't seem to exist though. Here is what I got when I applied that command:
brandon@Brandons-House:~$ rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state
rm: cannot remove `/home/brandon/.config/deluge/persistent.state': No such file or directory
brandon@Brandons-House:~$ sudo rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state
[sudo] password for brandon:
rm: cannot remove `/home/brandon/.config/deluge/persistent.state': No such file or directory
brandon@Brandons-House:~$
Let me know if you have any other ideas. I am definitely willing to try!

Thanks,
Brandon

Yes. I know I can use ktorrent to do so. But, I like Deluge much more. I just can't get it to load. I have checked, and all dependencies are installed. This is pretty much a fresh install of Kubuntu. Is there anything that I may be overlooking?

Thanks,
Brandon

I fixed it! I went to this website: http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/deluge-torrent/download. Then I copied the repository listed: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main. Then, I went to the adept-package-manager. clicked on 'file', then on 'manage repositories', then on 'add'. Then I pasted the mentioned repo listed above. Then click close and let the list refresh. Then I searched for 'deluge' and noticed it said upgradeable. I clicked to upgrade, and now it works fine. Thanks for all of the help guys. I really appreciate you and will keep asking questions and providing answers any time I find them.

Thanks,
Brandon

Keep up the good work!
