Crash when creating torrent in Ubuntu

[toniboni88]

For specific folders, when I create the torrent remains firm on this screen, doing nothing. If I let go creates nothing, remaining always in the picture, until the lock manually.

I've Deluge 1.3.4, LibTorrent? 1.5.9, Ubuntu Server 11.04 Updated

This is ​gtk issue but does not seem that it will be fixed anytime soon for Oneiric or previous releases.

There is a workaround that will prevent the crash, which you could also test on Natty.

When I next update the PPA I can add it as a patch.

I've 2 pc:

• Ubuntu Server 11.04, Deluge 1.3.5, LibTorrent? 1.5.9, the system is update
• Ubuntu Server 11.10, Deluge 1.3.5, LibTorrent? 1.5.9, the system is update

On both pc crashes in the creation of certain torrent, remains locked until you close it manually, without creating the torrent file.

I'll test it again when I get a chance but do you have an error or traceback?

[toniboni88]

Does not leave any type of error, it closes the program improssivamente alone. remains as firm as in the image in the first post, for hours, days, until you close it forcibly. does not create the torrent.

[toniboni88]

On windows (Windows XP SP3 + Deluge 1.3.5) of all regular. On Ubuntu Server (11.04 or 11.10 i tested)happens the error exposed.

I cannot replicate on desktop version of Ubuntu Oneiric.

Does this happen with any size/number of files and piece size?

You could use a standalone program, such as ​mktorrent, to create your torrents.

Could you test with Ubuntu Precise?

[toniboni88]

I found the reason for which is blocked by creating the torrent.

If the file for which you want to create the torrent, there are non-standard characters, the creation of the torrent crashes. It would be possible to control the encoding of filenames, and if the characters do not stardard return a warning. I have noticed that, for example, a file contains a letter stressed the torrent file is created, but check the torrent file with accented letters does not pass the check. It would also be handy to have the rate of creation of the torrent bar.

Can you provide example of filenames with characters that exhibit this issue?

I have tested with files/folders using the following characters and there are no issues:

ÇüéâäàçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜáíóúñÑ¿

[toniboni88]

Characters not supported by the operating system.

You have tried to do the recheck of the torrent with those characters in the filename?
