deluge 1.1.2 won't start

hi

i have 2 arch boxes both with deluge, after performing an update on both machines one can no longer start deluged

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluged", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('deluge==1.1.2', 'console_scripts', 'deluged')()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/main.py", line 203, in start_daemon
    Daemon(options, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/core/daemon.py", line 44, in __init__
    self.core = Core(options.port).run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/deluge/core/core.py", line 168, in run
    self.session = lt.session(fingerprint, flags=0)
RuntimeError: eventfd_select_interrupter: Function not implemented

the only differnce between the 2 boxes that i know off is that the box that deluged refuses to start on has a custom kernel 2.6.24 with openvz patches

any ideas?

yes i saw that post as i did a search before creating a new thread
i created a new thread as my problem is not related to the problem in the other thread.

permisions are fine and both boxes were upgraded from the same version of deluge so there should there should be no issue with existing configuratoin (which i do not want to delete)

for shits and giggles though i tried moving my configs, after launching deluged it creates a new empty config directory and fails with the same errors.

This appears to be a boost issue found in version 1.37 and it's fixed in version 1.38.

Take a look at the deluge changelog:
- Fix issue when initializing gettext that would prevent deluge from starting

I spent the better part of a whole weekend trying to resolve this, and what i found out is that deluge, after a new install, will only create ~/.config/deluge after it is started . I read about deleting this folder as a solution to the problem in the case that deluge would have been started as root, and therefore /root/.config/deluge would have been created. Since in my case i could only start it as root, there was no permission problem to ~/.config/deluge to speak of. So finally i found that doing sudo deluge would create that file, albeit with root permissions, and changing those solved the problem. I suggest you delete ~/.config/deluge, reinstall and maybe you'll have the same situation.

I had the same problem. I just deleted the ~/.config/deluge directory and it started working fine
