I will be running Azureus semi-headless by using a VNC X server on my fileserver. I've had trouble getting Azureus running on it regardless of which JVM I've tried (though I was going between Sun Java 6 and GCJ's).
After watching the messages, I decided to try something different. Run Azureus on one computer while displaying it on another.
Here are my results:
Ubuntu Feisty machine:
vnc4server + Azureus + Sun Java 6 (all on above server) == Crash at some point or another.
Ubuntu Feisty machine + Debian Sarge machine with bits of Sid:
(vnc4server on Debian machine) + (Azureus and Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu machine as above) == Solidly fires right up and works.
This seems to apply both to the Ubuntu-packaged and upstream versions of Azureus.
I downloaded smallish file and it worked just fine.
However, I haven't tried running long torrents on this machine since it has a very small hard drive in it (4GB) to test reliability as all the big drives I intend to use with this install are in the Debian machine. Nor have I tried to run it displaying on a "real" X server since this machine will never be running one to begin with once it's in production mode.
Further, the "working" setup is a suboptimal setup because I'm fully intent on decommissioning the Debian install in favor of the Ubuntu install by moving it into the box which is presently running the Debian install.
