Hey guys, I love ktorrent and it usually works fine for me, but now I'm trying to install it under ubuntu dapper and it gives me the no mime-types installed and the malformed URL errors. I checked under the .kde directory and it lists them there, and running that kbuildsycoca, but it gives me a buch of errors and says reusing existing one and says error no database. Please tell me what to do, I really need to get Ktorrent running! Thanks,

Post the output here concerning those errors. We can't help you unless we know what the problem is.

Sorry guy but I'm not sure how to post the info, it just pops up a couple of error windows and from there runs but with the mouse in action, like as if it's busy doing something. I took a screenshot of it:

Maybe there is a log file somewhere? Sorry, still kind of new to all this

Some KDE code shows this dialog, because our code doesn't.

What version of ktorrent are you using ? And where did you get the packages from ?

Using the latest deb package from the site, 2.0.3 I believe....

There is probably some KDE thing missing, how of much KDE have you got installed ?

Sorry, but I don't thik it's that...I can see the plug-ins in the folder they are supposed to be in I think, but for whatever reason Ktorrent doesn't see them, or perhaps they were installed incorrectly? Thanks for any help,

Remove the file called octet-stream.desktop from ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/ and you won't get the octet-stream error anymore.

Had that same error just yesterday and that helped.
