no connections - azureus

[ceborame]

I realy need help with this !

I have been using azureus for a number of years on xp with a router , and it runs fine.

Now I have a multi boot system with kubuntu (breezy). I have installed azureus ok in kubuntu, the NAT test is showing as ok.

But I am receiving no connections and the dot stays red, with an occasional green.

Any help is appreciated

Check to see that it isn't the torrent file itself, and that you can download no problem in XP.

Re: no connections - azureus

Hello, I'm having this same problem. Sometimes it will let one peer connect to me, but I've yet to connect to anyone myself.
I tested the torrents with an XP machine and it worked normally.
The NAT test says it's okay, also.
Not sure what to try next.

Any ideas?

I've got the same issue, azureus doesnt seem to want to connect, and also the NAT icon for the torrents keep changing between green and red.

Re: no connections - azureus

I know I am deviating from the discussion...

But I feel, that BitTorrent is the best and does its work without much system resources... so why go for azureus of all...?

Re: no connections - azureus

i had the same problem. the GNU compiler for java (GCJ) shipped with ubuntu/kubuntu 5.10 doesn't work with azureus.
i downloaded the latest java from www.java.com and symlinked /etc/alternatives/java to it like this:

# download jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin (Linux self-extracting file) and make it executable

chmod +x jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

# then run it

./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

# now you have a folder called jre1.5.0_06, move this folder to a location you prefer like /usr/lib/jvm
# assuming you now have your jre in /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.5.0_06 we link /etc/alternatives/java to the 1.5.0_06 binary

cd /etc/alternatives
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java java

# check your symlink

ls -al java

now azureus should run ok...

Re: no connections - azureus

Thanks for that zmo, it seems that although I have ran the Java installer for version 1.5.0.06 and created a symlink it still launches the wrong version of Java?? (1.4.2).

When I type java --showversion it reports it as 1.4.2?

Re: no connections - azureus

hello M

first check your symlink in /usr/bin

cd /usr/bin
ls -al java

on (k)ubuntu it should look like: java -> /etc/alternatives/java

then check the symlink in /etc/alternatives

cd /etc/alternatives
ls -al java

should link to latest jre: java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java (or your preferred path)

java -version

on my machine returns:
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

did you set a JAVA_HOME environment variable somewhere?
check your environment variables:

set | grep -i java

anything there?

Re: no connections - azureus

Many thanks for the help!

After removing and reinstalling Java, then going through and removing the symlinks in my /etc/alternatives and /etc/java folders I re-created them and all is now working.

Must have had the paths wrong in my symlinks!

Thanks again

Re: no connections - azureus

Hello, I seem to have a problem. I followed the steps you laid out, however, when I do

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java java

It comes back saying.

ln: `java': File exists

Not sure why it's saying that, or what to do next.
Any ideas? Thanks

Re: no connections - azureus

remove the old symlink first:

cd /etc/alternatives
rm java

then try to make the symlink again:

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java java

should work...

Re: no connections - azureus

And what about

sudo update-alternatives --config java
