opening a .torrent file from a browser opens a new gtkui

[danii]

Deluge 0.6.0.0r3301

opening a .torrent file from a browser, in this case firefox 3, opens a new gtkui, I think deluge should check if there's a ui running and only if it doesn't exist open the torrent in the new ui, don't know if it is possible to open torrents directly for the console and web ui, if they are the ones being used but it would be a nice feature also I think only one ui of each type should be allowed to run per user, I don't see anyone wanting to use more than one ui at the same time

This will only happen if DBUS is not available. Do you not have DBUS installed and running on your system?

[danii]

yes it's installed and running:

danii@hemper ~ $ dbus-daemon --version
D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.1.20

danii@hemper ~ $ ps ux|grep dbus
danii     7949  0.0  0.0   3020   480 ?        S    Jun23   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
danii     7951  0.0  0.0   2260   868 ?        Ss   Jun23   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

[DEBUG   ] 03:37:40 addtorrentdialog:204 Torrent already in list!

in this example although the torrent already exists the new gtkui still opens

[andar]

I don't know what to say. I cannot reproduce this behaviour. On my system, if a gtkui is already running and i run another it simply exits after it detects the other gtkui's dbus session. And if you add another torrent to an existing session it just sends the dbus command to the existing session to add the torrent and then exits.

what system is this? linux? which distro/release?

[danii]

distro is gentoo, WM is XFCE 4, I'm going to update and see if the bug persists

[andar]

Is this still an issue? Can we close?

[danii]

yes this is still an issue in Deluge 0.9.01

I think you need to start the system dbus daemon. This should be accomplished by running /etc/init.d/dbus start in Gentoo. I would suggest adding this service to your default runlevel.
