Comment 4 for bug 78167

OK, I'm having similar issues here, but I can't tell if it's exactly the same bug. Azureus (2.5.0.0 on Ubuntu Feisty) worked for a bit after the install, then (I suppose it was force-closed by a log-out) it stopped starting. The main window would appear for a bit and then it just died.

At first I was using the gcj java, and the errors in the console looked like: ********************

Then I looked for work-arounds and one of the similar bugs reported suggested to delete "~/.azureus/logs/*", which I did, and now it starts. The funny thing is that one of the exceptions is still showing:

This is really annoying, can't anyone figure out what's wrong? By the way, if the core dumps are useful, I could add some here, I just have no idea where to get them...
