Qbittorrent won't run
QBittorrent has been running perfectly for a considerable time - also on Ubuntu 12.04.
It will now no longer open though locked to Launcher, icon doesn't 'flash' when clicked.Attempts via Dash results in same situation.
Tried reinstalling, terminal output is:-

qbittorrent is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

@Andrew: there was a small typo in your original command.
The i was missing in qbittorrent.
@RayArdia: What is the output of these 2 commands?
lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy qbittorrent
dpkg -l | grep torrent

An apology to Marco - I addressed him as Mark in a previous post - ancient brain only in 2nd gear!

What is the output of:
ls ~/.config
Thanks
Also, why are you using sudo with gedit, and why are you using sudo at ll? The file is in your own home folder so you have full access....sudo (and gksudo) are not even needed.....

Went to Dash and, after giving me a warning about file-sharing (as if it was opening for the first-ever Time) it loaded OK and runs.
What did I do wrong to cause the problem, any ideas?
Can you help with this problem?
