[SOLVED] KTorrent KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/ktorrent'.

omega02 · 2011-03-20 23:11:37

Hi, I'm a noob at linux in general, so please take it easy for me.

Okay, so I am getting this weird KTorrent KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/ktorrent' error whenever i try to run ktorrent. It only happened whenever I recently updated it to 4.1.0.1.
Whenever I run it in terminal however, I get this error saying this:

ktorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libkcmutils.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: I also google'd around trying to fix this problem myself but no one seemed to have this kind of error.

Solution: Update the computer with "pacman -Syu" (without quotes) and it should work. Thanks.

/usr/lib/libkcmutils.so.4 is owned by kdelibs 4.6.1-2

Do pacman -Syu and make sure you are using an up to date mirror.

Hi, I am a really, really, big noob at linux. Okay so I don't use pacman, I use yaourt (I assume they're the same thing, just that yaourt adds colour to the text) and secondly I don't know how to update a mirror.

Anyways, I did "yaourt -Syu" and woah, I guess I really do need to update my linux computer, but one thing.. It seems like I need to replace stuff.. and I don't even know if I should replace it or not! So like

Replace kdeaccessibility-kttsd with extra/kdeaccessibility-jovie? y/n

I'm not feeling very comfortable about upgrading my system as it seems like I can break it. So is there any way I can just manually update kdelibs to 4.6.1-2? I did yaourt -Sy kdelibs but it came out with this when things finished downloading:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libsub: /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h exists in filesystem
libusb: /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.a exists in filesystem
libusb: /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so exists in filesystem
libusb: /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 exists in filesystem
libusb: /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.0.0 exists in filesystem
libusb: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libusb-1.0.pc exists in filesystem
kdelibs: /usr/share/locale/en_US/entry.desktop exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded

Again, I don't really want to update my system as I think it can break my system so please... Help..

EDIT: Oh! Is there any way I can like degrade back to my original working for ktorrent? So I don't have to even download any of these stuff?

Use pacman -Qo to identify which package owns a file (e.g. pacman -Qo /usr/share/locale/en_US/entry.desktop). If no packages own files listed above then it should be safe to remove those files or force pacman to overwrite the files (i.e. pacman -Sf libusb kdelibs) and then pacman -Syu.

Well, actually is there any way I can downgrade my ktorrent back to where it originally worked before? This problem only occurred whenever I updated my ktorrent, so to avoid this, I want to downgrade if possible, thanks.

EDIT: I google'd and I said I can...the command is pacman -U pkgname-olderpkgver.pkg.tar.gz but I'm going to use yaourt -U pkgname-olderpkgver.pkg.tar.gz. My question is, is that will there be any risks involved? Will I be safe to downgrade back to where it works again?

EDIT2: I just tried yaourt -U ktorrent-3.3.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz but it doesn't seem to work... it says that it cannot open package file.. any ideas? I also tried going for an older one that is ktorrent-3.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz but it also says the same thing

EDIT3: Oh by the way, I did pacman -Qo /usr/share/locale/en_US/entry.desktop and it says "/usr/share/locale/en_US/entry.desktop is owned by kdebase-runtime 4.4.4-1"

EDIT4: So would I do pacman -Qo to every /usr/lib/libusb and delete it if it doesn't say anything?

EDIT5: I just did pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.a and it says that it is being owned by libusb1 1.0.8-1 ... it seems like its all being owned by something. I don't think i should delete it.

Okay so sorry for double posting but.. i just overwrited the libusb files with "yaourt -Sf libusb kdelibs" ... now that its installed, and i try ktorrent, it just won't start.. Oh and now whenever i type in ktorrent in terminal, it says this:

ktorrent: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Okay, so now I'm thinking I should do yaourt -Syu to just update my system and get it over with but one thing, it always asks me if I want to replace an item with another one... please help. (I mean, should i just say yes to everything it asks me to replace??)

And thanks for keep on helping me Dogmeat. I really appreciate it

EDIT: So what I'm asking is that should I just say yes to everything it says to replace?

You should update your whole system with pacman -Syu or yaourt -Syu if you wish and answer yes to all those replace questions.

omega02 · 2011-03-21 00:39:36

Okay, saying yes to all those replacement questions.. Now its updating I'll tell you tomorrow what happens. There's 1.7GB to download. Hopefully this will work and solve all my problems I created.

Sorry for double post but some reason, while I was updating it says this:
error: failed retrieving file 'Some File' from mirror.rit.edu : Connection timed out

Some File is any file that SOMETIMES pop up. So like during the updates it says like:
error: failed retrieving file 'mysql-5.5.9-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.rit.edu : Connection timed out.

Any ideas? I'm assuming I should "update" my mirrors but how? And if not, then what do I do? I'm missing some updates here...

stryder · 2011-03-21 04:26:44

Perhaps you should read the wiki on "mirrors"?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors

omega02 · 2011-03-21 11:41:53

Okay, so I didn't really know what to really do, but I went there generated an up to date mirrorlist to Canada with ftp http, and IPv4 with Use Mirror Status checked, so I hope I have the mirrorlist being used.

And also, I couldn't even update my computer because i couldn't retrieve packages from extra. So I'm re-updating. Also, before I go, I tried opening dolphin, the file manager but I couldn't... I hope this doesn't break my system

omega02 · 2011-03-21 18:52:45

Alright! Thank you guys!! I can finally run ktorrent again! I guess there really is no harm with updating your computer. I will remember this, and once again, Thank you! This is going to be marked as solved.
