azureus won't start

Hi all,

After yesterday's system upgrade I can't start Azureus. I had version 3.0.4.2 installed and I upgraded it to 3.0.5.0 but it didn't solve my problem.

I tried Azureus from terminal and I don't get any errors, the messages at terminal window end with:

Core Initializing took 1145ms
   Core: 226ms for Initializing Plugin: aznetstat
   Core: 37ms for ??????? ????????? : safepeer
new shell took 213ms

the splash screen starts, messages pass at the bottom, the bar if filling up but when it comes to Initializing main Window it stops and stays there.

ANY ideas??

thanks

I'm using ktorrent right now until I find out a solution to the problem. However I'm used to azureus for a long time now and it works for me great.

Re: azureus won't start

azureus is a java app so make sure you have the latest java installed on you system. pacman -S jre

Re: azureus won't start

Java is the latest, 6 update 5. I cannot track what exactly is causing it to hang, but I will try and tell you if I find something.

Re: azureus won't start

ok, the only strange thing I see in terminal is:

Browser check failed with: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)], InvocationTargetException
Auto-scanning for GRE/XULRunner.  You can skip this by appending the GRE path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME.
  checking /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.13 for GRE
GRE found at /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.13.
Browser check failed with: XPCOM error -2147467259, InvocationTargetException
Can't create browser.  Will try to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and hope  Azureus has better luck.
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to: /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.13
setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to: /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.13

then it just hangs at "initializing UI elements"

Re: azureus won't start

I've found out that the problem is not Firefox, it's Arch's custom Firefox. If you use the official Firefox binary version Azureus will not crash. You can find the PKGBUILD here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15323

Hope it helps...

Re: azureus won't start

I had this issue. Don't use firefox, vanilla azureus works fine with xulrunner package.
In startup script, set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to "/usr/lib/xulrunner".

Re: azureus won't start

You won't get the error if you are running firefox3 either. And you get the advantage of an alot faster browser with better looking fonts too   (hint, firefox-spookyet and firefox3-systemcairo)
