Hi tier

Thank you fro your replay

[root@NETEGYPT-ADSL ~]#


I have a snapshot file but I cannot send it ( there is no attachment facility ?)

Tamer

Have you removed the previous version first?

Btw, i would not run ktorrent as root if i was you.

Dear stoeptegel

no I didn't removed the previous version first

I run it under root for trying only

Tamer

First try it as a normal user. Root probably isn't allowed to access the X server.

Seems like an infinite loop somewhere.

Do you know how to use gdb ?

Thank you George

no I do not know how to use gdb !

It's pretty easy :

gdb /usr/bin/ktorrent
run --nofork

Wait until it hangs

Then hit CTRL+C in gdb and then do the command :

bt

Post the output of that here, that should give us some indication where it is hanging.

dear George
this the output for the command
gdb /usr/bin/ktorrent
run --nofork

bt

thank you

Tamer

From the look of that backtrace, you should see a message box

Dear George

thank you for your replay


sorry for this question { where I can find that message box ? }


Tamer T.

It should be somewhere on your screen.

Dear George

Where ?? on my screen ??

I'm using a KDE Desktop

so just tell me in more details

thank you again
Tamer T.

The message box which could be appearing here is:

Code: Select all

        QString msg = i18n("The file where the data is saved of the torrent \"%1\" is missing, do you want to recreate it?").arg(tc->getStats().torrent_name);
        int ret = KMessageBox::warningYesNo(0,msg, i18n("Recreate"),KGuiItem(i18n("Recreate")),KGuiItem(i18n("Do Not Recreate")));


If the message does not appear, it looks like event race of some sort somewhere. Anyway, ttaghattass, if you can afford to lose the torrents you've been downloading/seeding with the previous version (and likely some settings), do the following (alternatively you can remove the following folder/configfile):

$ mv ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent~

and start ktorrent. It should start now. If it still does not, try:

$ mv ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc~
