Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. It looks like LottaNZB's configuration file (~.config/lottanzb/lottanzb.conf in your home folder) has somehow been corrupted due to the version changes. Removing it should fix the problem. Before doing so, it might be a good idea to copy the content to this bug report as it might help to figure out what went wrong and prevent such problems in the future. If there is any sensitive information (passwords etc.) you should remove them first.

What was the problem that caused you to go back from LottaNZB 0.6 to LottaNZB 0.5.4? And why did you later decide to upgrade to LottaNZB 0.6 again (since the messages you posted are from LottaNZB 0.6)?

Hi Severin, first my lottanzb.conf is as follows:

delete_enqueued_nzb_files = False

[backend.sessions]
active = local

[backend.sessions.local]
command = /usr/bin/sabnzbdplus

[backend.sessions.remote]

host = ""
https = False
password = ""

[gui]

[gui.add_file]
last_location = ""

[gui.main]

Then let me explain maybe it will help to understand what went wrong:

I was using lottanzb for a long time and tried sabnzbplus, both worked fine. Then as I have your PPa activated it upgraded to Ver 6 without any problem. But I saw that sabnzb had a ppa and i activated it too. Upon sabnzbd'upgrad (to ver 6.0 beta 2) lotta stopped working... it even said that it couldn't work with this sabnzbd version, that it was not compatible.

I de-activated the sab's ppa and withdrew both sabnzb and lottanzb. I then reinstalled both of them (lotta 6 and sab 5.4.1(Version available in ubuntu's repository...) and damned it still bugged!!! ==> I sent you the bug report...

Hope this will help, seems bug arose when sab's was upgraded to ver 6.0 beta 2 ....

I now withdrew lottanzb.conf, de-installed Lotta with synaptic and re-installed it and it says
