Ktorrent not launching

Hi,

I am having a problem where ktorrent has stopped working. Everytime I run it, I get a KDE crash handler pop-up saying ktorrent has crashed.

I have tried restarting it, killing the process and re-installing ktorrent but to no avail.

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards,
Prad

And what version of openSUSE are you using? And is that the version of KDE that came with it, or did you install another (newer) versiion of KDE.
Information please!

Start ktorrent from a konsole
What feedback do you get?

@hcvv,i am running opensuse 12.1 and kde is what came with it. have not upgraded to 4.8 yet.@caf4926,this is the output from konsole:

KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work Warning: QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null actionWarning: QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null actionWarning: QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null actionviking@Viking:~> KCrash: Application ‘ktorrent’ crashing…KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinitsock_file=/home/viking/.kde4/socket-Viking.site/kdeinit4__0

Thanks for the info. Next time, please copy/paste computer text from your console between CODE tags: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/advanced-how-faq-read-only/451526-posting-code-tags-guide.html
It is now difficult to read.

hcvv,

oops, I wanted to use CODE tags but typed in the QUOTE tags. my bad.

the forum somehow is very slow at my end, taking me a min of 3 tries to even reply to a post.

You could also look into switching to qbittorrent. It’s much better than ktorrent IMHO. It’s available from the network repo :
Index of /repositories/network/openSUSE_11.4

Not much help from me I am afraid. Seems to be wrong something inside KDE that has to do with internationalisation (i18n). Thats should of course be a minor point only worth a warning and then the program should continue in a default language.

BTW I have no problem runniing Ktorrent 4.1.0 on openSUSE 11.4.

I think the settings for ktorrent got corrupted, one way or another. What you can do, is clean out the ktrorrent config and data, reconfigure and see what happens:


rm ~/.kde4/share/config/ktorrent* && rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/apps/ktorrent*

Another option is, to create a new user, start ktorrent as that new user and see if you get the same crashes. If not, the previous should solve the issue, if it does we would have to make some further investigations.

Thanks a ton. This worked. :slight_smile:
