Won't start in Ubuntu 12.04

[TurboProp]

Hello all,
have been using qbittorent for many years now, very happy. Yesterday i changed to the new ppa , did the update to 3.0.9 from 3.0.8 and now it will not start. From cmd line i get

Code: Select all

qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libtorrent-rasterbar.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can someone help me please.

Cheers!

By the code you posted you can see that it is not finding libtorrent-rasterbar.so.6, which is no longer installed with ppa.

I installed the new ppa on the day after it was released, and when I tried running it via the gui, it started loading in the taskbar but then never ran, so I completely removed it via synaptic, and installed again, with the same results. Eventually I compiled the latest qbitorrent/libtorrent via the wiki page https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... ompilation and all has been running perfect since (I'm running Kubuntu 12.10).

Had the same problem, check my topic just below.
There is a thread here
http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=1843.0

with a link to a PPA with working 3.09.

Would you believe it, I waited to update until chris posted his latest ppa, and within days of compiling qbitorrent/libtorrent there's 3.09 ppa,  thank you for another ppa link

So I'm lead to believe the new ppa relies on ubuntu packages of libtorrent? Did you try installing libtorrent-rasterbar6 from official?

It seems so. Check the "Depends" section. for libtorrent-rasterbar6 for the new ppa and for libtorrent-rasterbar7 for the other.

This one is from new PPA:

   * Well integrated and extensible search engine
   * Remote control through a Web user interface
   * Vuze-compatible protocol encryption
   * uTorrent-compatible Peer eXchange (PeX)
   * DHT (trackerless) support
   * UPnP / NAT-PMP port forwarding
   * IPv6 compliant
   * RSS support with advanced download filters
   * Advanced control over torrent content and trackers
   * IP Filtering (eMule / Peer Guardian filters)
   * Torrents queueing and prioritizing
   * Good localization (~25 languages supported)
   * Unicode support

The problem is, that the new repo does not include the libtorrent-rasterbar.

So there are two solutions:

- apt-get remove libtorrent-rasterbar* qbittorrent && sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
But with this solution, you get a very old libtorrent-rasterbar from the official repo.

- use this repo:
a) remove the current repo
b) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:surfernsk/internet-software
c) sudo apt-get update
d) reinstall it with the two steps from first solution
