I run the amule daemon in a small embedded Debian box, and the amulegui
in a PC with Ubuntu. It worked fine, but since I updated to 8.04 I had
this same behavior: When I launch amulegui the dialog pops up but it
never connects to the server.

I'm sorry but I don't have the time to actually run the code through a
debugger, but reading the code I've learned this:

In the connection process amulegui exchanges some information with the
target, including some 'protocol version'. If the client and server
don't agree on this number the connection is rejected. The number
interchanged is different in the SVN version. In the function
ExternalConn::Authenticate it states that

            // For release versions, we don't want to allow connections
from any arbitrary SVN client.

It seems that a SVN version gui cannot communicate with a 'release'
version daemon.

I have installed by hand the package amule-utils-gui_2.1.3-1_i386.deb
and now amulegui is working again.

I would suggest to re-generate the package as NON-SNV. And I would
suggest too that in the gui, if a connection is rejected, a dialog box
with a clear message pop up.

I hope this helps.
