[solved]deluge not working - unable to initialize gettext/locale error

On a fresh arch installation after installing deluge through pacman, tried opening it. The GUI window pops up for a second and vanishes. when i tried it in console, got the below error message.

Unable to initialize gettext/locale!
'ngettext'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/deluge/i18n/util.py", line 118, in setup_translation
    builtins.__dict__['_n'] = builtins.__dict__['ngettext']
KeyError: 'ngettext'

    gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')  # NOQA: E402
AttributeError: module 'gi' has no attribute 'require_version'

But, i've setup and generated my locale.
output of "local -a"

C
POSIX

That's wrong, set your locale properly:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … the_locale

Changed the locale as per the instructions in the link and did a reboot. Now 'locale' give below output, but Deluge still throwing the same error.

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"

Did you pay attention to the optional deps that pacman told you about when you installed it?

Re: [solved]deluge not working - unable to initialize gettext/locale error

Its working. I installed the below python packages and now deluge is working.

python-cairo (optional) - gtk ui
python-gobject (optional) - gtk ui

I did notice one thing, the 'unable to initialize gettext/locale' error still appears when i open it from terminal. But its not creating any issues.

$ deluge
Unable to initialize gettext/locale!
'ngettext'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/deluge/i18n/util.py", line 118, in setup_translation
    builtins.__dict__['_n'] = builtins.__dict__['ngettext']
KeyError: 'ngettext'

Thanks Videl, Scimmia and loqs for your help.

Add

-d

to

/usr/bin/deluge-web

So:

/usr/bin/deluge-web -d
