[SOLVED] qbittorrent search function not working

m3nhir · 2024-10-05 20:19:15

With the upgrade of qbittorrent to version 5.0, the recapping function no longer works. I get a message saying that there are no plugins installed (not true) and to install one. When I try to update the search extensions I get an error message saying “extensions not supported”. Looking on google for a solution, someone said to remove both python and qbittorrent to reinstall them after a reboot. Unfortunately, I have dozens of programs that have python as a dependency, so I avoid it. Has anyone found the solution? Thanks

I get a message saying that

Do you still ahve python2 around or so?
I'd strace qbittorrent and check what python executables it looks at.

"pacman -Rdd", but unless "pacman -Qkk python" doesn't show deviances, that won't do anything.

I tried following the instructions in the link you pointed out, uninstalling both pyton and qbittorrent and reinstalling them after a reboot, but it didn't work. The error messages qbittorrent gives me are exactly as described in the link. to uninstall the two programs I also tried:
"pacman -Rdd python" and "pacman -Rn qbittorrent"
And after reboot to reinstall them, but the result does not change. I only have python version 3.12.6 installed. No python 2

strace -tt -f -o /tmp/qbittorrent.strace qbittorrent

/tmp/qbittorrent.strace will maybe tell what python stuff gets loaded.

The command you posted worked. I renamed (before deleting it, just in case) the “nova3” directory located in :
“~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3”
and which contains the search plugins. As reported in a solution in the previous link, but for Windows, with an obviously different path.
I later restarted qbittorrent, updated the default plugins and later added the others found on github. Now the search function works. Thank you for your help.
