Azureus crashed when starting a new torrent

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Binary package hint: azureus

I got another Azureus crash. I was trying to start a new torrent: I double-clicked on the file saved on the desktop, and then tried to raise Azureus from its icon. The window came up, but there was a bit of instability (it does use a lot of resources, doesn't it?) then and I don't know if the torrent got started or it just crashed for a different reason.

The console log is below. Note that only the last error is related to the crash (probably), the others are a few hours earlier. (Actually, it's weird, "$ date" shows "Sat Jan 20 00:10:30 CET 2007", so either the last DEBUG message is older and unrelated to the crash, or Azureus does something weird with the date it reports.)

And, of course, now it crashes after starting. (I'm still using the Sun JVM, but I'll switch right away.)

[Bogdan Butnaru (bogdanb)]

Well, it doesn't start with GCJ either, now, I'll resort to cleaning of ~/.azureus

[Jeffrey Knockel (jeff250)]

There's a workaround here that worked well for me:

Hi if I try to drag and drop torrent to Azureus it crashes same with double click,
but when I open torrent from within Azureus then it works fine.

[MrAuer (mr-auer)]

I am using Sun Java 1.6, and Azureus crashes every time I try to add new torrents. It simply hangs. It works otherwise, ie. seeding torrents started before I installed Gutsy alpha. Confirmed behaviour with latest updates today, on two different machines. Java bug most likely?

[MrAuer (mr-auer)]

More info, I deleted old .azureus folder and untarred the azureus folder, meaning a clean install, and the bug still persists - azureus crashes every time I try to add torrents.

[Saivann Carignan (oxmosys)]

Bogdan Butnaru :

Can you install the latest Gutsy Backports version 2.5.0.4-1ubuntu3~gutsy1 and confirm if you can still reproduce this bug?

[Bogdan Butnaru (bogdanb)]

I don't see this anymore, but I didn't have this in a long time. I have made some changes to Azureus (eg, I eliminated GCJ, and I disabled "sliding animation/on top style for alert messages" in the display options, which caused me other problems, too).

So as far as I'm concerned, this bug doesn't manifest itself anymore, but I can't be sure if it's because of my tinkering or if it's fixed.

[Saivann Carignan (oxmosys)]

To restore default azureus settings, you can delete the ~/.azureus folder and remove azureus and then reinstall it. Thanks to take time to confirm that it works well on your side.

[Bogdan Butnaru (bogdanb)]

OK, I did that (sorry, didn't cross my mind to just do a fresh reinstall).

I tried simulating network failures by disconnecting NetworkManager and by flipping the hardware switch, and Azureus doesn't seem to crash anymore. Thanks for whatever you guys did!

[Saivann Carignan (oxmosys)]

Great! Since the latest version fixes your issue here, I set this bug as duplicate of bug 57875 but if you suddenly discover that it crash again, please set back this bug as not a duplicate.

Thanks for your contribution !
