Bug ID: 361997
Summary: can't resume torrent from system tray icon
Product: ktorrent
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: joris.guis...@gmail.com
Reporter: edhamilt...@gmail.com
I can suspend seeding by right clicking on the icon in the system tray. But
when I try to restart seeding by right clicking on that icon nothing happens. I
then restore ktorrent in its window and right click "Start" or "Force Start".
Nothing happens. I kill ktorrent and restart it and it is not seeding. If I
then right click "Start" or "Force Start" nothing happens. The app never
crashes, but it never resumes seeding.
My first attempt to fix it was to replace the entire ~/.local/share/ktorrent/
folder with a backup. But that didn't work.
Next I restored from a backup the ~/.config/ktorrentrc file and ktorrent worked
as desired.
In the following "diff" command, I named the file that doesn't work
ktorrent.problems and the one that works kept its proper name. Using "meld"
shows that the lines referring to suspend are in the section called
[QueueManager], and the line describing the state is in the section called
[TrackerView]. I've added the section names to the output of "diff".
[ed@arch /working]# diff ktorrentrc.problems ~/.config/ktorrentrc
42,43c42
[QueueManager]
< suspended=true

So evidently ktorrent is not changing the state of the torrent when I try to do
so using the system tray icon.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. has happened both times I tried it, as described above in details.
2.
3.
as mentioned, restoring the ~/.config/ktorrentrc from a backup enables ktorrent
to work again correctly.
By the way, I am almost positive this happened the first time using ktorrent
4.x and the system tray icon. The 5.0 version just hit the repository
yesterday.
today's configuration
plasmashell --version
plasmashell 5.6.2
ktorrent --version
ktorrent 5.0.1
uname -sr
Linux 4.5.0-1-ARCH
A note regarding severity as requested below: I don't know if this rates as
normal or minor. The workaround is easy if the user figures out what file to
restore and has a backup or, possibly, edits the ktorrentrc file. I didn't try
editing the file. But that doesn't seem like something you would want most
users to have to do.
