Azureus. :(

[Roasted]

I just downloaded Azureus. I'm on Ubuntu. I got this fricken error that won't go away unless I restart. Once I start Azureus, it's there until I reboot.

The error goes as follows:

Azurues did not shutdown tidily. Check home/jason/.azureus/logs/save for diagnostic log files and consider reporting them to the Azureus team if this is the result of an application error. Also check the wiki (see the help menu) for 'Azureus Disappears.'

How do I get rid of this?

If I understand your problem correctly, a solution is to open the System Monitor and end/kill the java process that is running Azureus.

The problem with the Dapper repository Azureus is that there is no icon that docks to panel, and if you accidentally close the window rather than using the exit option, then Azureus is still running in the background and when you restart, it will be considered to have not shut down tidily. Then problem number two is that when you run Azureus that next time, the popup window that gives you the helpful message can't be closed!

A way of overcoming this problem is to overwrite the Azureus2.jar file with a more recent version, which can be downloaded from http://azureus.sourceforge.net/index_CVS.php

Is there any way other than this to just install it, and make it work? Problem is that this workaround makes the user install a beta CVS file. Not good, anybody else have any ideas? Who here has azureus working like a champ?

There's often more than one solution to any problem. One could try, for example, downloading the official sourceforge 2.4.0.2 tar.bz2 file and using the Azureus2.jar file in that. That could work, although it's ever so slightly more fiddly. Myself, I'm not averse to running a beta version.

I did this and it works very well this is how i did it

close Azureus

download the file from the link above,
save the file to desktop, rename file to Azureus2.jar,
the open a terminal and type this

cd to Desktop

sudo cp -rv Azureus2.jar /usr/share/java/

It is not working, I'm afraid... The warning is still up, and cannot be hide. I also get updata notfication from azureus and cannot click on neither of the buttons. Hope you'll help, regards

Sorry, it does work, It was only me not thinking. I repeat: this solution does work.

I can shut it down cleanly with file -> exit

Thanks for the solution, I was experiencing the same problem. Wish the uTorrent comes soon for Linux too.

Btw - You dont have to restart to get rid of the error if it appears, just go to System > Administration > System Monitor and kill Azureus/Java things.

Hm. I came across this thread and thought "Oh yeah I completely forgot about my Azureus problem."

Evidently so did Azureus. I reopened it, no errors. The only errors I got were the firewalled issues, which for some reason I still can't figure out.

I used the directions straight from this portforwarding site to clear the ports for Azureus. I followed them 110% perfectly. Yet I still get errors. I'm thinking about just ditching Azureus, cause I had this problem on Windows. Can anybody help?

Worked great here, thanks
