Can`t add torrent files to Deluge

English Applications
#1

Hello,

I can`t figure out how to add torrent files to deluge- all the settings are greyed out. When I start deluge i get an error message:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/preferences.py:57: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Fehler in Zeile 1, Zeichen 29: Element »markup« wurde geschlossen, aber das derzeit offene Element ist »b«
  "glade/preferences_dialog.glade"))

(deluge:14143): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `orientation' for class `GtkVBox'

I`m running OS 11.0/Gnome. Any idea how to fix this ? Thanks

Don’t use it
Get transmission it’s much better
it’s in Packman

#3

I`d love to but Transmission is banned on one of the trackers i use…

#4

How about telling us what you can use

What about vuze/azureus

#5

I can use everything except Transmission because it seems to mess up your ratio. Bittornado works great but needs a lot of ram. If i can`t fix deluge i guess i just keep using Bittornado. Is Deluge really that bad ?

#6

are you using the Packman version?

#7

Yes, I got it via yast. I`m running 1.2.0-rc4, the latest release is 1.2.0-rc5. There is no upgrade available for suse 11.0.

#8

The Packman packaged Deluge does work on a 32-bit openSUSE-11.2 with Gnome. I have it running on my Sandbox PC. But I’m no expert with it. I installed it (from Packman) and it “just worked”.

I have no idea why you can’t add torrent files. I assume you selected a place to add them where you have write permissions?

#9

What about Monsoon, did you try that?

I use Vuze and never have problems with it. And it’s not as hungry as some make out - not for me anyway.

#10

I just took a screenshot, as you can see the toolbar and the settings are greyed out.

I do not see that.

This is what I see on my Sandbox PC during a test:

#12

The OP is in OS 11.0
If that matters Lee.

There are loads of torrent clients out there, so plenty of choice.

#13

Yes, it may matter that the OP has 11.0. … and it may not.

IMHO The problem could be

  • a packaging problem by Packman, or
  • that the OP has added many different repostories to their OpenSUSE-11.0 and installed an app that has broken Deulge, or
    *]a simple Deluge setting, that I can’t help with because Deluge “just worked” for me and I did not have to setup anything. It simply just worked.
#14

I just installed flush, seems to work. Thanks for your help oldcpu and caf4926.

#15

Glad to read that a fresh re-install worked for you.

#16

No, flush is a bittorrent client. :slight_smile:

#17

The developer told me to install twisted-web & Deluge works fine now.

#18

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your solution. But its fuzzy to me.

I do not know of an openSUSE packaged rpm called ‘twisted-web’. I do note there is a Packman and OSS package called “python-twisted-web” which I do NOT have installed and my deluge works!

I also note there is an OSS package called ‘python-twisted’ which I DO have installed. Could it be that ‘python-twisted’ package you are referring to and not some package called ‘twisted-web’?

#19

The package is called “phyton-twisted-web”. The Delude package for 11.2 may be different, i guess there are some minor differences between 11.0 and 11.2.

The question is: How did you install “deluge” in the first place?

through ‘YaST’ or ‘zypper’?

I’ve just installed ‘deluge’ with ‘yast’ and got a slew of dependencies,
some of them quite big. I’m on openSUSE 11.2.

rpm -q deluge

deluge-1.2.0_rc4-0.pm.1.2.x86_6
