[SOLVED] Deluge won't start

[barney385]

I was using Deluge this morning to download, and I was tweaking it to make it download faster. Nothing was working, and I did a firewall command or two to open up some ports.

Probably a mistake.

Anyway, the command I used was: sudo ufw allow port; and sudo default allow

Now the GUI for Deluge won't even start.


Any ideas would be appreciated, though I think I screwed up my firewall settings or something. And tinkering isn't helping any.

Thanks

Run deluge from a terminal, and see if it gives any errors :)

Well, I have this one. Thanks for the quick reply BTW...

I tried doing a reinstall also. I know I borked something. Maybe I should do a complete removal and installation?

[barney385]

asio::system_error

Does that mean a port is busy?

I'm not a system admin!!

:smile:

This is what I get for tinkering I guess...

I googled the error and came up with nothing.


ETA: I went ahead and did a complete removal of firestarter and deluge.

I'm downloading Azereus right now.

I'm hoping it will use different ports than Deluge. I couldn't figure out what might be using the port Deluge wanted to use.

Did Deluge ever work for you?

Yes, until I messed with the firewall today. Is there a command that resets ufw to it's default state?

I know it's something I shouldn't have done.

Try just disabling ufw (sudo ufw disable) or watch for anything interesting in the ufw log messages ("sudo iptables -L -n | grep LOG" after running deluge). You could also try reinstalling ufw (sudo apt-get reinstall ufw).

sudo apt-get wouldn't work for me, so I did:

sudo aptitude reinstall ufw

That worked for me...


Thanks suprfish!!
