What version of Deluge are you using?

[Vladimir Berezhnoy]

Just tested with 5296fc7d4c936fcdf58389a1c1b886a667d0c80a

This doesn't happen with the new console code for me, only with the older version. Are you sure you're running the newest version? (

Also, if you just run:

deluge-console --help

You should get the bug and a full stack trace which would be useful to have. I believe this isn't a problem with deluge but rather something wrong in optparse.

Your OS is trying to convert non-ascii characters to ascii. This is normally due to not having LANG or LC_ALL setup properly.

This is an example of how to fix this:

export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'

[Vladimir Berezhnoy]

As I've said my locale is not en_US.UTF-8 isn't deluge supposed to be only run on different locales other than en_US.UTF-8?

Sorry did not see that it was an optparse issue but I can now reproduce with that same commit 63d0d0 and 1.3.2

I have a fix for 1.3-stable ​here but needs verified that it is correct.

We have broken translations in master gtk ui due to lots of changes so will have to wait to test the fix there.

Fixed in 1.3-stable: ​28fc325 and master: ​b301051c
