Deluge craps out on me

Deluge wasn't working with the older version, so I upgraded with:

sudo pacman -S deluge

Got the newest version (available) and thought it would work better. I was wrong. Now when I try to start deluge, the screen somewhat appears and I get loads of lines like this in the terminal:

[DEBUG   ] 20:09:05 signalreceiver:77 Trying again with another port: (99, 'Cannot assign requested address')
[DEBUG   ] 20:09:06 signalreceiver:77 Trying again with another port: (99, 'Cannot assign requested address')

I really don't know what has caused this to begin debugging it. Any ideas?

Re: Deluge craps out on me

Deluge has its configuration files in the  ~/.config/deluge directory. Try moving that out of the way, like

cd .config
mv deluge deluge.old

so as to start from scratch.

It could be that an old configuration value is giving trouble.

Re: Deluge craps out on me

I ran into this problem as well, the deluge bug tracker has it under http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/522 . They have it flagged fixed, but what they mean is it expects your local line in /etc/hosts to read
"127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname"
rather than the arch (and in my experence, general) default of
"127.0.01. localhost.localdomain myhostname"
It starts working for me after one makes this change.

Re: Deluge craps out on me

I think I got it fixed. What the problem was (I think, is that I had two instances (of different IP addresses) pointing to my hostname.)

Example, of what I had:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain darkghost
192.168.0.16  darkghost

I just naturally added the second line in there too, because I was adding all the hostnames on the network to my hosts file. Well, apparently it was enough to kill deluge. So, I commented out the line pointing darkghost to my LAN IP, and added "localhost" to the first line. Now Deluge starts without a problem.

Thanks for the help guys!

Re: Deluge craps out on me

What's wrong with the deluge tray icon ?
Or am I the only one having a problem with that ?

it has got blue something as a background? yes, i got that as well. i just dismissed it as part of kde(3.5.10)'s poor systray implementation or something.
