Eshock Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Sometime after the latest mandrake update, my bittorrent client seems to have stopped working. The gui shows up in the taskbar, with the "loading Bittorrentgui..." title, and then just goes away. I tried uninstalling it and then reverting to the version on the cd, but that didn't do anything. I reinstalled the update from the mandrake servers, still not working. Anybody know anything that could be the cause of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Did you try launching it from a command line? You usually get more feedback when it fails if you do. Alternatively, does it work when you use the command line (no GUI)?

electragician Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I had the exact same problem, and never did find a fix. One of the updates a couple of weeks back screwed up Python (I believe thats what BT and Shadows Experimental both used. Both programs would attempt to load, and then die. I never did find a fix, and then reformatted and installed another distro out of curiosity.Now I'm back to my favorite (Mandrake 10.0 CE of course) and everything is fine... but I've only installed a few updates due to the mirror fiasco. As a temporary fix, if you can't figure out what the problem is with BT you can always get Azureus and use it, as it's java based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
