I tried to run rtorrent on my CentOS 4.7 to help out on the CentOS 5.3
distribution. It seems to work except that no keystrokes, needed to
control the operation of features such as throttling and adding/closing
torrents, does not work at all.
None of the keystrokes entered ever gets to the rtorrent application
AFAICT.
Is anybody else running rtorrent and seeing this?
From my old programming days, I suspected a problem in the ncurses area.
So I ran some rpm -q --requires and --provides and --last commands. ASll
looks good. But there is an area that seems a possible breaking of the
application interface.
Rpm shows these installed (all i386 architecture) and these dates of
install.
ncurses-5.4-15.el4 Dec 17 09:33:49 2007
rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el4.rf Feb 16 06:34:31 2008
libtorrent-0.12.4-1.el4.rf Jan 29 16:42:43 2009
My old record of installed stuff from Mar 7 2008 shows the rtorrent and
ncurses both installed at that time. The libtorrent was
libtorrent-0.12.0-1.el4.rf
I uninstalled the rtorrent, libtorrent and installed the previous
libtorrent adn re-installed the rtorrent.
All keyboard functions began working as documented.
Now the big question: is it something unique to mu 4.7 node or ??
Any help appreciated.
Anybody have a similar situation or looking at this?
It is likely that libtorrent ABI broke and rtorrent was not compiled
against the latest. I reissued a new build to see if that fixes the
problem for you.
However I did some tests and ctrl-q only worked for me with libtorrent
0.11.9, not 0.12.0 or 0.12.4. So maybe the issue is somewhat more
complicated ?
Let me know if rtorrent 0.8.0-2 is working for you (when it becomes
available).
Kind regards,
