[kardan]

my version: 0.5.4.1-1u (installed my system: Debian Gutsy Xfce / Linux 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

on deluge start as user I get:

$ deluge

as root I get:

After compiling the 0.5.8.3 and installing (without errors) i get:

The program crashes if ask to get to the download page and remains if I click 'No'.

The error message for users didn't change after compiling:

Best Regards and thanks!

It sounds like you have conflicting installs. I would suggest removing all deluge related files and re-installing. Also, removing your config folder would be a good idea too.

No, that was not the problem.

It helped to move .config/deluge/ to something else and importing the old torrents from there.

Thanks!
