Azureus -- the popup notifications are frozen

n0gabor · 2006-05-03 10:35:42

the popup notifications in the lower right corner are stucked, they are unable to disappear. clicking on the 'hide' or 'hide all' button doesnt help.

(and it covers my KDE kicker)

tryed with xfce4, the result was the same.

are there anyone who uses azureus, works 100% fine?

holskoiff · 2006-05-03 12:20:12

I have the exact same problem, and I've to restart Azureus for the popup to disappear.

Same problem here... Haven't gotten any popups in openbox (yet), but it froze in gnome.

Did you guys install it from pacman??? If so, try downloading it and running it from a folder that you have write permissions to, otherwise it wont be able to update itself and all that fancy jazz. (hence the strange behaviour of the pop up window things, i think).

When i used azureus i had it working 100% fine. I haven't used it for months though (i discovered the joys of screen + rtorrent).

Good luck!

rtorrent ftw!

But seriously, it get's stuck here too, and I had to restart.

kill · 2006-05-04 05:05:43

The same thing happens on Fedora and with the binary provied by the Azureus people (tested on Ubuntu). So it's not an Arch specific problem.

edit:
Just tested with Gentoo, it has this issue as well.

postlogic · 2006-05-04 10:53:16

Same here..

I think it might be related to the java binaries themselves, because I've killed Azureus and the popups stick. According to ps x, the only app running then is the java binary.

lucke · 2006-05-04 11:59:02

To kill Azureus, you have to kill its java instance (/usr/bin/azureus is just a wrapper script).

Anyway, the problem is quite annoying - it's worth noting that it's the same with Azureus' CVS snapshots.

codemac · 2006-05-05 02:28:31

I would just use the menu, and do "Restart Azureus...", killing the process might not write some recently dled data for the torrents? I know that's happened to me in rtorrent once.

lucke · 2006-05-05 09:33:35

This ain't possible if you set 'minimize A. to tray after start' and then that hideous popup covers all the tray ;-)

Killing a process without passing a flag is merely asking it to finish gracefully so I see no problem here - yet A. has that annoying "feature" of showing that useless popup if closed e.g. by KDE shutdown, not sure why (I wish I could change what's executed when shutting down KDE, didn't find any relevant info about that though - still, that popup doesn't show up after "killall azureus; killall java", so I guess it considers it a tidily shutdown).

ps. Is that possibly a Vivi or some other black mage in your avatar, codemac?

postlogic · 2006-05-05 11:40:07

Is there some way to just disable that popup?

lucke · 2006-05-05 13:33:31

Wish there was ;-)

yup, Vivi.

And I understand what you are saying about kill, I'm just paranoid.

This is also happening with a native bytecode compiled Azureus (GCJ 4.1, Azureus 2.4.0.2). To me, it seems like an actual bug in Azureus, I will compile a daily snapshot and edit this post to report my findings.

edit: nope, happens with the daily version too.. both with gcj and sun java still... Interesting bug..

Regards

n0gabor · 2006-05-24 12:20:15

anything changed since?

Susu · 2006-05-24 16:54:34

Remove .azureus/logs/* and you can start it without annoying pop-ups. Works fine for me...

Have you checked/reported this on the Azureus bug tracker? It'd be nice if we could contribute to other people's projects as well as Arch

luisrobles · 2006-05-24 22:00:03

other software to try ??

n0gabor · 2006-05-28 21:11:13

ktorrent, bittorrent...but azureus has more features

lucke · 2006-05-28 21:19:15

It now works properly here. While I'm using a beta version, I guess it had more to do with other Arch upgrades (xorg?).

renners1 · 2006-05-29 00:57:02

I had the same problems with Arch Azureus.
Just download Azureus from it's website and extract it to your home dir. It'll run fine.

Dude, I was using azureus for ages until I discovered Transmission (via this forum), it's sooooo much faster. You should install and try, it's the muts !

It's available thru the community repo via pacman.

*2 cents*

profoX · 2006-05-31 09:43:28

Yes, my friends advised me transmission too, but I haven't tried it yet.
I am going to try it now, when I get home

Sigi · 2006-06-12 06:14:23

Ipsofacto: Thanks for the hint to try Transmission! It's really a lot faster.

hjorthboggild · 2006-06-24 12:27:04

Has anoyone succeded in building transmission using PKGBUILD's from AUR, with the latest gcc? the package from community isn't working with the new openssl
