HowTo Nicotine+: An Improved Version of Nicotine

[INMCM]

UPDATED: Edgy and Version 1.2.4.1 deb

Anyone who uses the Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org/) P2P network and Linux is probbaly familar with Nicotine (http://nicotine.thegraveyard.org/). Sadly, the version in the repositories (Dapper and Older) is very old, has a number of nasty bugs remaining it, and will probbaly never be updated again.

Thankfully, due to the beauty of open source, a new fork has been created: Nicotine+ (http://nicotine-plus.sourceforge.net/).
This updated version fixes lots of bugs and adds new features as well.

There are two install methods: running the source code or installing from a deb. At the moment, running from source is probbably the preffered method, but for all you lazy/adventerous people, look below for the deb.

NOTE for Edgy Users:Nicotine+ has been merged into the repos as plain old Nicotine. Just install Nicotine as normal:


sudo apt-get install nicotine

It's a slightly old version (1.2.2), but that's far better than 1.0.8. If you want bleeding edge Nicotine+, follow the instructions below. You can always install regular Nicotine from the repos later on.

Install From Source (Dapper, Brezzy, etc):

Whether or not you have the old Nicotine from the repos installed (just make sure the old version isn't running!), just download the tarball here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nicotine-plus/nicotine%2B-1.2.4.1.tar.bz2?download and:


sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-pyvorbis
tar xvjf nicotine+-1.2.4.1.tar.bz2
cd nicotine+-1.2.4.1/
./nicotine

The new version will automatically use your settings/shares/username/password if you had run the old Nicotine. Otherwise, you'll need to set up your usename, password, and shares before it'll let connect to the server. You must run the ./nicotine command from the extract directory everytime you wish to use the program. You can also make a shortcut and use /path/to/extracted/folder/./nicotine as the command. Also, there are some new preferences that may intrest you, so do take a look at those once you are up and running.

Tray Icon Support
If you are used to the the Windows Soulseek client, or just love tray icons, you might want to try your hand at compiling the tray icon. Here's the general procedure


sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-gtk2-dev libgtk2.0-dev
cd nicotine+-1.2.4.1/trayicon
./autogen.py
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cp trayicon/trayicon.so pynicotine/


instructions found here: http://nicotine.le-vert.net/wiki/TrayIcon
and here: http://nicotine.le-vert.net/wiki/IssuesWithNicotinePlus

Install From a Deb (Dapper Only)

47th_Ronin has made a deb of 1.2.4.1 . This is a testing package and, while it works VERY well, there still might be issues. You MUST uninstall all previous nicotine+ deb package before installing this. You may do this in synaptic or just by doubling clicking on the old deb if you still have it around. It is also HIGHLY recommended that you back up your ~/.nicotine folder before installing this. If you don't feel comfortable, use the source instructions above. Just download here (http://www.osiris.codedchaos.com/osiris/e107_files/downloads/nicotine%2B-1.2.4.1-i386-dapper.deb) and double click on the .deb to install. Tray Icon is included. Please direct feedback for the deb package to 47th_Ronin

Nice work. Already using Nicotine+. Thanks man.

[foofightrs777]

Worked great for me! Thanks!

Tray icon worked as well. If you don't have luck maybe try alltray?

[INMCM]

you have python-gtk2 installed?


sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

python 2.4 and python-gtk are the only dependecies.

[prkfriryce]

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

i also have the latest python-gtk2 installed

[INMCM]

Try installing the regular nicotine out of the repos


sudo apt-get install nicotine

and see if it works if it doesn't work, then you have more serious issues than I can fix

I previously tried using 1.2.0 beofre 1.2.2 and received the same results. Likewise, after i configured 1.0.8, the debug print is the same. :(

[INMCM]

Try deleting ~/.nicotine. Maybe you have a corrupt config file somewhere.

[prkfriryce]

Try deleting ~/.nicotine. Maybe you have a corrupt config file somewhere.

rm'd all instances of pynicotine and nicotine, then reinstalled and still the same errors. I will try to first remove, then reinstall python2.4 and python-gtk2 tomorrow.

[henriquemaia]

Thanks for posting this. I was not aware of nicotine+ existence.

[bionnaki]

I like how you can play audio files now. very nice.

[frank_b]

I installed nicotine+1.2.2 but, since it was not installed as a package, it didn't replace the old nicotine version and I still run the old version when I click the icon in the menu.

Should I now run nicotine only by executing "./nicotine" in the directory I got from the tar file?

Can I make an ubuntu package out of the tar file I downloaded and replace the old package?

Should I do this?

Should I remove the old nicotine package anyway?

Yes, you should run the extracted ./nicotine from now on. You should be able to edit the old menu entry with the menu editor to point to the new 1.2.2. You could also create a new icon on you panel.


Can I make an ubuntu package out of the tar file I downloaded and replace the old package?

If you know how to do such magic, then please do so and feel free to post it up here. Before I made this How-to I thought about learning how to package and slapping one together, but, given the simple nature of extracting and running the the python code, I felt it would be overkill.

On the other hand, it would be very nice if this replaced the OLD nicotine in the repos. I'm going to post this on the MOTU wiki and hope it get's picked up. If any MOTU people are reading this, this is a real simple thing to package and would be greatly appreciated by many many many folks.



Should I remove the old nicotine package anyway?

If it's less confusing, go ahead. It'll leave all your configs behind.

[maxol]

Thanks for this, if the repos are updated that would be fantastic.

[frank_b]

Thanks for your explanation INMCM. :)

As for the package, seems that there is already one, although barely tested.

I'll post more information about it soon, after I confirm some things.

[asplode]

I'm getting an error on the apt-get install line... I believe the correct metapackage is "build-essential"

Hi,

First of all, a very big thank you for providing the package.

Ok, I'm running Dapper 64bit. I get this dependency error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python

I have python installed and can run nicotine+ through the cli.

[frank_b]

To INMCM and all:

The package I was talking about is the one made by 47th_Ronin, which I met yesterday in SoulSeek.

I was unsure if it worked with ubuntu also, besides debian, and seem to be having a problem dowloading the package.

I was suposed to bring the news here, but, because of my doubts, I was afraid to give a bad tip.

Fortunatly, in the meantime, 47th_Ronin made the anouncement himself, clearing my main doubt, and now you can speak to him directly making things more simple.

[47th_Ronin]

Thanks for the feedback... I'm searching for the problem... stay tuned!!

[maxol]

I have the same problem on 32bit dapper

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python"

I have also have python installed and can run nicotine+.

I'm "6ecko" on slsk btw.

[frank_b]

I still can't download the file from the site... For some unknowned reason it downloads a 2.8 K file instead that seems like a mixture of and html file and a script...

Nevertheless, 47th_Ronin was nice enough to provide me the file directly, but I get the same error as henriquemaia (olá! :) ): an error message in gdebi saying "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python".

Also, through gdebi I can see that it will try to install files in two directories that don't exist in ubuntu: "/share" (there's a "/usr/share" in ubuntu, supose that would be the one instead) and "/debian".

I was right to be cautious. Seems that it's only a package for debian for the moment. 47th_Ronin is working on the problem.

[mrazster]

tried it lastnight....everything went perfect...trayicon compilation also. :)
Haven't decided yet if I'm gonna stick with this or not.....seemes good so far thou.

[47th_Ronin]

Thank you all for your feedback.
I made a new better .deb file for Nicotine+
This one should install better and have no depency problems...

It is STILL a test module! and dapper only! so no breezy or even debian!

You can get it here: http://www.speedyshare.com/908491984.html

You can give also feedback through slsk network, you can find me in nicotine chat room under the name "47th_Ronin" or "ronin.soulseek"

Don't get mad at me if I don't answer immidiatelly :p

Again, thank you for your feedback :)

[spockrock]

thanks got everything working and the tray icon.

Great work, 47th_Ronin! Now the package installs flawlessly and nicotine runs smoothly.

Not even a complaint from my Dapper 64bit.

[spockrock]

thanks worked perfectly.

[INMCM]

I'm editing my original HOW-TO to include the deb.

[47th_Ronin]

I'm editing my original HOW-TO to include the deb.

Thanks!! one thing: I see this in the edited HOW-TO:

henriquemaia has made a deb of 1.2.2. This is a testing package and, while it works VERY well, there still might be issues. If you don't feel comfortable, use the breezy instructions below. Just download here and double click on the .deb to install. Tray Icon is included.


Are you sure it is henriquemaia?? ;)

[INMCM]

Ha, sorry about that. I was a bit too quick on the draw. Fixed.

[47th_Ronin]

Ha, sorry about that. I was a bit too quick on the draw. Fixed.

np.. bro... I sad it incase people have problems they know who they should talk to instead of flaming other ubuntu user :)

one last thing for users who're REALLY paranoid... Nicotine+ will be soon available as valid debian package (whatever that means)
when it will be released and the respo line will be is still unknow... just keep checking this topic or nicotine chat room...

[frank_b]

Can't download this one from the site also, but 47th_Ronin kindly gave it to me directly again, I installed it and everything seems OK.

sorry for answering so late, was busy fixing Nicotine windows installer :)

[47th_Ronin]

I've installed the deb package and I'm getting the error:
Warning: Trayicon Python module not found.

Any ideas?

while I was making this .deb, I didn't pay any attention to Trayicon... however it is included in .deb.

Official debian packages are source only.. so if you install the following: build-essential python-dev python-gtk2-dev libgtk2.0-dev

and re-run the .deb installation it will get compiled and installed :)

No garantee that it will work, but just an idea :)

[INMCM]

How-to has been updated for version 1.2.3. Ronin, I hope we can see a deb soon.

[OffHand]

I have been using nicotine+ for quite a while.
I have just installed the latest version but I cannot get the trayicon to work, eventhough I installed it.

I get this

EDIT:

Somehow I got it working with the cp command. I copied those files before and it didn't work. Weird... Anyways, version 1.2.3+ uses other icons. If you guys wanna know how to get back the old icons let me know and I'll post what to do.

[The Waco Kidd]

...

Let me know how it went...

sorry for answering so late, was busy fixing Nicotine windows installer :)

Thanks for your reply. I'm actually away from my Kubuntu box for another 10 days, will try your suggestions when I get back and let you know how it goes.
Cheers :)

[47th_Ronin]

How-to has been updated for version 1.2.3. Ronin, I hope we can see a deb soon.

sure, bro... stay tuned... 1 or 2 days...

since the .deb for 1.2.2 I have gained some more knowledge to make a .deb that follows debian guide-lines... so it will be much better than 1.2.2 deb...

[47th_Ronin]

@INMCM... you got PM :D

[INMCM]

*BUMP* For Updated DEB package..See First post

[47th_Ronin]

I got feedback from one of the .deb users:


beke feedback van n newbie: nieuw icoon in mn panel is ietske groter as de rest vd icons
Translation:

[babelfish says] a little feedback from a newbie: icon used in my panel is larger than the rest of the icons...

He also was kind enough to send me a screenshot to make clear what he ment...

what the hell does he mean?? well, read on!

Nicotine icon is the old one... the one daelstorm made for gentoo??.. but IMHO I wanted icon to be in line with the new logo as seen on nicotine pages...

The famous orange circle with a white N.... So I got my hands on .xcf of the logo and copy&paste the "N" en used it as icon... the icon is however on the edge.. so no empty spaces arround it...

That's the reason why the icon appears large.. even when you shrink the logo and replace it... The same you can see with XMMS logo...

So for all you gnome users, I fixed the issue by making one for my favorite ubuntu users :)

You can get the logo here (http://www.speedyshare.com/856620986.html)

HowTo use:
- download :p
- rename it to nicotine.png
- place it in /usr/local/share/pixmaps/
- restart x... (I'm not sure about this, but if I remember it should)
================================================== ==

@INMCM: check your PM... again?? yeah, man.. HUGE NEWS :p Oeps!!! I didn't see your reply PM :S... ohhh well, next time I just post here :)... sorry for the hussle..

Nicotine+ 1.2.4 (beta) SVN is available for Ubuntu Dapper

Finally got round to this...

Am now working with latest 1.24 beta deb

Removed previous Nicotine instalation and that's solved the first problem.

The second one has been more thorny. I've reinstalled python 2.4 and that dir still isn't there. There is, however, in /usr/lib a /python 2.4 directory which has a /site-packages directory within. Might this be the one the installer is looking for or am I on totally the wrong track?

New output below, not that it seems to be saying anything fresh. Any help is truly appreciated...

how to Nicotine+ . . .

Easy. . .

Chain smoke. :D
smoke == Nicotine where chain smoking == Nicotine+.

I just feel like joking around, don't mind me.

Anywho, I might start using some sort of p2p again if I can get a USB hard drive set up to hold it all.

I installed the original Nicotine on my Dapper machine, and it worked fine -- it stopped working a few days ago, and I uninstalled it via symantec, & installed Nicotine+. I've tried deleting config files, uninstalling nicotine & the various python files suggested. Any ideas?

[jbaskr]

aha --
I just created a new "blank" user in ubuntu & tried to launch nicotine from there - it worked perfectly. I can use this as a workaround (the program is great!) but if anyone knows what's going on, that would be deeply cool.

Okay, here it is. Thanks for sticking with me on this!

Sorry for my LATE answer.. I have trying every possible way to figurout why you have "Can't list /usr/lib/site-python" error..
Before I go and start type some huge story of what I have done, can you please tell me what you get when you typ following command in terminal?

apt-get -f install

Don't be scared it continues doing stuff.. it won't break your system. It suppose to fix broken packages :)

Thanks... I go now finding some wall to ](*,) (I feel so stupid, not being able to help you faster :()

For the rest of you:

* new SVN is in make... includes:
- nicotine+ icon fixed for gnome
- menu is fixed (Nicotine+ instead of P2P)
- man pages
- huge .png in user-info bug-fix?? (I assume)

* TrayIcon .deb is in make :D
* Docs .deb is in make for those who need it :)

Wanted!
I want a nicotine+ ubuntu icon-theme. more info & template can be find at http://osiris.codedchaos.com. if anybody wants to help me out, please do!

[47th_Ronin]

@jbaskr
never, ever remove files manually!! specially if there're installed.. it's like removing files in system32 on *******..

even I make mistakes.. anyway... try this in your profile that has the broken nicotine:


apt-get -f install

say what it says.. then we will see what happens :)

greetz,
PS. running from source?? does that work?? try it and tell me the results also :)

Nicotine+ 1.2.4beta July 24, 2006 SVN available for download.

see http://osiris.codedchaos.com

[vision]

I have a problem with Nicotine+ - I was using v1.2.3 when without a reason my PC restarted. After that when I opened Nicotine+ it showed the Settings window as if this is the first time I run the program even tho my login name and password, shared download directory etc. were still the same as always. I clicked OK but it still shows the message "You need to finish configuring your settings (Server, Username, Password, Download Directory) before connecting...". I uninstalled it and downloaded v1.2.4 but nothing changes. Am I doing something wrong? Could be since basically im still a Ubuntu newbie.. Can anyone help? Also you probably noticed - my english isn't that good, im from Bulgaria.

- uninstall 1.2.4 or any version you have...
- remove .nicotine from your home directory
- install 1.2.4
- configure settings and connect...

should work :)

[vision]

Yes, it did! I was thinking of deleting the whole Nicotine folder but as I said in my other post - I still have much to learn about Ubuntu and I didnt know that the folder was hidden. Anyway thanks for answering. :)

Huh! Well I'm sorry if I was too busy with all the other stuff in my life to answer your question immediately. Much as I'd like to I don't have much time as I'd like to work on non-essential fun stuff like Nicotine.

If you're still up for helping me then great, if not then...not much I can say, really, is there? That's a bummer, I was really hoping I'd be able to get this to work.

I had this odd feeling you might not wanting me to help you since people useally stop when someone says "have you triend running from source?" which is useally already a sign of people not being able to help... anyway.. I'm still here :D

But in this case I might know more if you tell me if you can or can't run from source... So looking forward to know... take your time :)

looking forward to solve this issue of yours, so people in the future get helped faster after we finally find out what the problem was...

LOL. No worries, you're cool. And thanks again for all your help so far.

Background, I suppose...I'm fairly green w/Linux and these forums so don't know so much of convention. I have no idea what 'running from source' means, so when I read your message I just thought 'okay, that's going to take a few hours, I'm going to have to RTFM so I'll wait until I've got the time...' and got on with my work.

But getting this to run does mean a lot to me. This is my second serious attempt to switch to Linux, and the first time out the lack of a decent SLSK client was a dealbreaker. Since then my problems with Windows and addiction to KDE has grown to the point where I'd decided to just live without SLSK. But it'd still be great to not have to!

I'm mad busy this week, but I WILL make time to get my head round this at the weekend.

Runnin from source: useally it means downloading source of a software and compile it yourself.. BUT Nicotine doesn't need to be compiled nor installed to run.

So when you have time, download nicotine+-1.2.3.tar.bz2 from sf.net pages and do the following:

- unpack it on your desktop, so you get directory nicotine+-1.2.3
- start Terminal
- do this command: cd /usr/home/username/Desktop/nicotine+-1.2.3
- then this command: ./nicotine

link: Nicotine+ sf.net page (http://nicotine-plus.sourceforge.net/)

I just wait see what the results are... goodluck and next time, just keep asking when you even don't get the smallest thing :)

[47th_Ronin]

NNPScript is now available for download. It allows you to display current listen song in Nicotine+

more info: Chapter 6.1.1 of Nicotine+ Guide (http://osiris.codedchaos.com/nicotine.guide/NicotineGuide/Extra/AddOn/NNPScript.htm)

[The Waco Kidd]

First thing first - yes, I had the old version in the repositries working but I found it useless compared to the Windows client.

Oddly enough, I checked synaptic before I tried to run from source, and nicotine+ is showing as installed. But I still wasn't able to run it until I followed your instructions and now it's running, sort of. I can't seem to make any download connections, but that's a whole other issue which I have a few hunches on...

[The Waco Kidd]

Okay, I got the download problem sorted out - a simple matter of playing with the settings on my router and now I'm connected. Thankyou for your help!

Is there any way I could set it up to launch automatically from an icon rather than via the command line every time?...

[OffHand]

There is. I have added a link to my top panel.
Right click on the panel, pick 'add to panel', pick 'custom launcher'.
Name it and give it an icon.
The link would be something like:

/home/admin/.nicotine+-1.2.3/nicotine

Just change the path to match your setup.
Now you can start Nivotine+ by clicking the icon.

[47th_Ronin]

Funkey Waco!! :p

finally you're online! which confuses me even more... the reason is if you were not able to run nicotine+ from source you probly didn't have pygtk.. that happens when you uninstall (k)ubuntu-desktop... which removes pygtk but you keep gnome/kde

so now you can run from source I wonder what the hell the problem is... as I cannot check what you have done with your setup I can only guess... BUT, now I sleep better...

anyway... have fun with Nicotine+

Hi there,

I installed Nicotine+-1.2.3 and the tray icon a few days ago and everything worked great. Then I did a complete reinstall of my system, wiped my hard drive clean and started fresh. No I just installed Nicotine+-1.2.3 again which is working great! :) Sadly though this time around the trayicon doesn't seem to work. I followed the instructions at the top of this thread exactly and got no errrors at all.

Can anyone help me in my quest to get my trayicon to work again?

Unfortunately I got no errors at all so I have nothing to cut and paste. I followed the instructions exactly as per the original post of this thread.

Any ideas on what to check for? Any methods for troubleshooting?

I really miss the tray icon. :(

maybe a stupid question.. did you install pygtk?

[adds2one]

not a stupid question, but yes I did install pygtk.

[47th_Ronin]

not a stupid question, but yes I did install pygtk.

before we go on trying the suggestion, I assume you run dapper... if you run breezy, forget about installing my nicotine debian-package as it will not work...

if you run breezy:
download & unpack nicotine+ 1.2.3 from sf.net pages
install it:


cd nicotine+-1.2.3
python setup.py install
nicotine #command to run
you will not have a menu entry as you can make it yourself.

my suggestions:

-suggestion 1:
1. first start Nicotine+ via Terminal
open Terminal and typ nicotine
that should give you what's wrong.. maybe something is missing and you will be able to cut&paste the output

-suggestion 2: (do every step as you can see)
1. remove every nicotine related stuff.. so nicotine-1.0.8, python-gtk2 and python-pyvorbis

apt-get remove nicotine python-gtk2 python-pyvorbis
2. remove .nicotine dir in your /home (maybe back it up)
3. install nicotine-1.0.8, python-gtk2 and python-pyvorbis

apt-get install nicotine python-gtk2 python-pyvorbis
4. start Nicotine+ via Terminal

username@ubuntu:~# nicotine
5. cut&paste the output... (for later)
6. if nicotine 1.0.8 starts correct we can move to follwing steps:
7. remove nicotine-1.0.8

apt-get remove nicotine
8. download nicotine+ 1.2.3 and save it on your desktop
9. double click it and wait till you see "depencies satisfied"
10. install!!
11. see step 4&5...

I just wait to see what happens. if Nicotine+ is still not running use this service http://pastebin.ca to pass the output...

good luck!

Do you really NEED a .deb? The source instructions on the first page are very simple (no compiling) and the only thing you aren't automatically given is an icon which is also a piece of cake to add using the menu editor. These are VERY fresh releases here, and .debs take time and effort to make and test. You could already be using the program right now, instead of waiting for a .deb.

Hi,

I have a question regarding the trayicon in version 1.2.4.1 (and yes, I am running Dapper). I installed nicotine from source and it now runs fine, but I can't get the trayicon to work. I made the makefile, but when I run the makefile:

sudo make install
Password:
cc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 pygtk-2.0` -I/usr/include/python2.4/ -I. -fPIC -c -o trayicon.o trayicon.c
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
Package pygtk-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pygtk-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pygtk-2.0' found
/bin/sh: cc: command not found
make: *** [trayicon.o] Error 127

so I tried to install it via the .deb instead:

sudo dpkg -i nicotine+-1.2.4.1-i386-dapper.deb
(Reading database ... 83655 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace nicotine+ 1.2.4.1 (using nicotine+-1.2.4.1-i386-dapper.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement nicotine+ ...
Setting up nicotine+ (1.2.4.1) ...

Ok, sounds like you didn't do the first line of the instructions


sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-gtk2-dev libgtk2.0-dev

Do that then, the ./autogen.py...make...sudo make install...etc....it should work then.

You're right, I installed all of the packages from synaptic before I saw this how-to. But of course, now I am having trouble with the dependencies: build-essential and python-dev came through fine, but python-gtk2-dev won't install because libgtk2.0-dev depends upon broken packages, as far as I can tell:


$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcairo2-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages


I take it this means that I should wait for the packages to be fixed? I tried to install these two in synaptic, but I got more broken package errors.

Just in case:

If you can't tell, I'm a bit of a noob. So what should I do now?

When you say "by hand" did you use the deb or source?

i had installed nicotine using the howto on the first page of this topic, which requires just to untar the nicotine folder.
I assume i can install the 1.2.4 version next to the 1.2.3, and even delete the nicotine+-1.2.3/ folder if i want. Am I right ?

btw, i just installed the 1.2.4.1 version, and compiled the trayicon successfully. And now, I'd like to be able to launch nicotine+1.2.4.1 just by typing nicotine+ in a terminal, wherever i am in the folder tree (i already know how to create a gnome launcher), how do i create this bin shortcut ?

thx

[INMCM]

try


sudo ln -s /path/to/program /usr/bin

Don't try installing nicotine anywhere where you need root access to write anything. It makes all the "sudo" stuff very complex. Extract the source to somewhere in your home directory and follow my instructions on the first page. You only need sudo on the make install part.

Hi nice thread, I've been running nicotine 1.8 but found out about 2.4 so I downloaded the source and compiled it successfully, however when running "python ./nicotine" from the /bin folder it gives me the following error:

Can not find Nicotine modules.
Perhaps they're installed in a directory which is not
in an interpreter's module search path.
(there could be a version mismatch between
what version of python was used to build the Nicotine
binary package and what you try to run Nicotine with.)

What could be the problem here? I've got only one version of python installed.

Press ALT+F2 and type nicotine. You can also add it to program menu, just make a new entry there with Alacarte that has the command: nicotine.

How do we go about asking the repository people to replace Nicotine with Nicotine+?

[INMCM]

How do we go about asking the repository people to replace Nicotine with Nicotine+?

That's a very good question. I'd imagine here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New?action=show&redirect=MOTUNewSoftware) would be a good place to look. But I also wonder how it works to get the old Nicotine out. It's easy to make the case that the old Nicotine 1.0.8 is busted, but hard to prove this new version (Nicotine+ 1.2.4.1 as of this writing) is stable and worth packaging. 47th_Ronin has been doing a bang up job making packages; perhapes those could be used after a little MotU love and extensive testing.

[INMCM]

Well, it looks like someone up there in MotU land likes us!!!!! Nicotine+ is in Edgy!!!!

nicotine uses the same network as soulseek. nicotine is just as good as the windows soulseek client, in my opinion. actually, you have more options with nicotine.

why do you have to "talk to peopl in order to get files"? you dont.

Is anyone else experiencing a slow memory leak with Nicotiune 1.2.6+?

It seems like if I download stuff, the memory will begin to leak, but Im not sure if that is what it is directly related to.

10 hours I started the program at 65M resident for memory, now it's at 81M

2 days ago it startet at 65M and 8 hoiurs later I had to restart it because it was at 351M!!

Im also using the Python Optimizer install that was recommended by Nicotine when you start the program (if you dont have it installed)

I just downloaded SVN revision 170 and will see if that does the trick.. I hope so! :(

(10:20PM ...)

any suggestions?

Howdy, I tried the above code (deb for both Debian and Ubuntu) and I got this error message;

I'm using dapper and am quite the newbie.
thanx

[czmiel]

@zwervertje

What is showing in log scrollbox while connecting?
Maybe your ISP has blocked Soulseek ports...

@logoodnix

Nicotine package from GetDeb is prepared for Edgy - not for Dapper. Egdy has newer version of libatk1.0-0 library.

You can just ignore this dependency but it is not safe and apt may show annoying warnings while updating...
sudo dpkg -i --force-depends-version <name_of_package>.deb

Another idea is to ask people from GetDeb to prepare *.deb for Dapper.

You do not actually compile it... you just run it from the source. There is no unofficial repository I know of. I couldn't live without automatic updating although I do not consider it a big problem to do a few applications manually. Either way.... it's up to you.

[rolheika]

I have a question about using nicotine - I have selected a few songs to download, but under the status it has been showing "getting status" for a long time, showing no sign of downloading (the percentage shows 0% for them all). This is unusual as I have used SoulSeek on Windows for a long time, and usually things get started. There doesn't seem to be any problem with my server connection, what else could be the problem? Or is it simply a bug?

NEVER MIND - IT SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF

[Kanji_Man]

The gutsy repositories still only have 1.2.8 packages and the latest avalable deb packages according to the official site (http://nicotine-plus.org/wiki/NicotineOnDebian) are also still at 1.2.8. However there are many new features in 1.2.9 that I would like to use without breaking the apt upgrade path. So this is what I do:

- Search google for "nicotine 1.2.9 rpm x86_64' (I use 64bit gutsy)
- Download the RPM package
- Convert the RPM to DEB with alien:

sudo alien -k nicotine-1.2.9-1plf2008.0.x86_64.rpm

I then have a nice deb package that I can install and if a higher version ever rolls out on the ubuntu repositories it should upgrade as normal.

Hope this helps someone.

/root/nicotine+-1.2.9/nicotine

Everything seems to work well, I've granted via nautilus all rights to this folder, because I'm not "root" at default, so file changes can be made, but discovered that some files are read-only. They all are in this folder:

/root/nicotine+-1.2.9/pynicotine

Here is a screenshot of the whole folder: http://www.box.net/shared/ntpxt18777

Is this normal?

Thx for helping.

There should not be any locked files in the N+ folder. And why run it from root? Do you have a multi user system?

You might have forgotten to give the rights recursively?

Hi,

I copied it there, because I don't want to have programs in my

/home

folder.

How can I do this?

Home still is the best place bro if you have a single user machine. I run a few applications from source in my home folder. They are subfolders of a folder named Applications so home will not be messy. but if you want to keep it in root open a root nautilus session with gksudo nautilus, go to the folder, right-click and select propertis. Then check the screenshot.

Thank you very much, it works now like a charm!

Hi,

After some time of using nicotne+, sporadically the program crashs.
I've launched it via console to log the event:

xxxx@xxxx:~$ /root/nicotine+-1.2.9/nicotine
Nicotine supports a country code blocker but that
requires a (GPL'ed) library called GeoIP. You can find it here:
C library: http://www.maxmind.com/app/c
Python bindings: http://www.maxmind.com/app/python
(the python bindings require the C library)

Warning: unknown object type <type 'bool'> in message pynicotine.slskmessages.UserInfoReply
/root/nicotine+-1.2.9/pynicotine/gtkgui/frame.py:2716: PangoWarning: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
gtk.main()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


How can I solve my dilemma?

Thx in advance!

For those who are interested, nicotine+ 1.2.9 packages are available over on deiban sid (unstable) here (http://packages.debian.org/sid/nicotine). Although I did have to upgrade the package "python-support" beforehand (available at that same link) this version runs a bit better than previous builds I had converted from rpm with alien.

EDIT: 1.2.9 is also available in the Hardy repository here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/nicotine).

Don't know if this belongs here... but I've been trying to find a solution to this problem... I can't browse users files. Is it because he's on windows using Soulseek and I'm on ubuntu? Or am I just not setting something correctly? I can chat with him... just can't get his files. I've tried it on other users at random and it never works.

You will probably have to open a port in your firewall.

Check if your port is open (use link).

I'm trying to install Nicotine+ but I am absolutely illiterate in Linux. I have no idea what the codes are, where to put them, and what to do with them. They're just a bunch letters and characters to me. lol. Can anyone kindly give me step-by-step instructions on how to install and run Nicotine in my notebook? :)

I start Nicotine+ with nicotine -s to minimize it at startup.

However, it still opens a fullscreen window for few seconds before it is being minimized, while it starts. Is there any way to prevent it?
