Hi. I've been a user of ktorrent for a while and now I updated to version 2.0beta1. However, most things in the GUI have disappeared. I wanted to ask if that is all the GUI for 2.0beta1 or if something odd is happening.

What I DO have:
"Downloads" and "Uploads" tabs with the files LISTs (with speed, size, etc). That's about the whole window, except for the status bar.In the preferences, i only have "Downloads", "General" and "Plugins" at the left.

What I DON'T have:
The graphic of the partial downloaded file, the list of the files contained in a torrent, well... none of the "Status" "Files" "Peers" "Chunks" "Trackers" tabs. Not even the ones i had in ktorrent 1.1 (status and files).
In preferences, it's the same as it was in ktorrent 1.1, there are not the other options shown in the screenshot.

It seems like it's not loading ANY plugin (in fact, the list is empty in preferences/plugins). If I start it in konsole, the following message appears:

kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KTorrent/Plugin not found


My OS: Kubuntu 5.10-amd64
What version of ktorrent I installed: DEB package for Kubuntu 5.10-amd64.
How? dpkg -i --force-overwrite ktorrent.......

I tried to compile it from the sources but it said "Can't find X includes" even when i have installed the package xlibs-static-dev, however i thought it's not the problem (ktorrent runs and downloads... it's just some options are missing).

Well... solved the problem.

After trying hard with dozens of stuff, i think the problem was that KDE hadn't load the servicetype for KTorrent/Plugin... I restarted the system and everything was ok...

And, let me say, ktorrent is becoming GREAT...

Yeah, we should definitely make some sticky thread about this... KDE sometimes does not recognize plugins until you either restart your session or run kbuildsycoca.

Is there any way which doesn't involve restarting my session? I'm running kTorrent under Gnome, I ran 'kdeinit', as well as manually running kbuildsycoca, also when I opened a nested login window it worked fine (under my current session it doesn't find any plugins)

Cheers

I don't know, kbuildsycoca usually saves the day, but that probably depends on some other KDE stuff running.
