Replaced in the rotation with Charlie Furbush, who I really don’t imagine will do any better.

OK i did exactly what this says and azureus still won’t work. I’m having problems with it. Someone please help.

1. dave@dave-desktop:~$ sudo mv “vuze” “/usr/share/vuze/”
mv: cannot move “vuze” to “/usr/share/vuze/vuze/”:Directory not empty

and when i try to start azureus:

dave@dave-desktop:~$ azureus
Starting Azureus
Suitable java version found [java = 1.6.0_15]
Configuring environment…
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying….
You seem to have set an invalid PROGRAM_DIR, unable to continue!

thanks a lot it worked fine for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope .
I downloaded Vuze 4.2.0.2 and I used vi instead of gedit.

It also updated my plugins!

Java is GCJ.. looking for Sun Java..
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search…
ls: cannot access /usr/java/latest: No such file or directory

Okay, so I looked into the Java-problem and I found out that I just had to update Java by using the code:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

So now I got vuze to start, but it wont update.. When I type
sudo chown -R 777 /usr/share/vuze

in the terminal nothing happens. (used a fresh terminal)
Shall I install Vuze all over now, or how do I get it to update?

Thanks in advance

Hmm. It looks like I havent got java installed correctly.
It says:
nybroe@Nybroe:~$ vuze
Starting Azureus…
Java is GCJ.. looking for Sun Java..
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search…
ls: kan ikke tilgå /usr/java/latest: No such file or directory
ls: kan ikke tilgå /usr/java: No such file or directory
ls: kan ikke tilgå /usr/lib/jvm/latest: No such file or directory
Java exec found in /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/
Java is GCJ.. looking for Sun Java..

But I have fooled around with java many times. I have read many forums of installing Sun Java, and it all went like they said in the forums.

Hi there. Im really new with Ubuntu, but I have followed the turtorial several times now, with no luck. Every code and step works fine until I reach to “That’s it your done! Happy torrenting”
I did make an icon with the help of “main menu”. But when I click the icon nothing happens. At all.

Please help me out here. I really have no idea of what I should do to make it work!

Thanks in advance.

I have tried Azureus in WinXp and Vuze in Ubuntu but from my opinion it’s a resource eater.Now i use Ktorrent and also Transmission and everything it’s fine.
Nevertheless great site and i have learned a lot from this web page!
Thanks!

Darn that didn’t work… Well you can install with one command.

sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent

Hi
Now Azureus/ Vuze 4.1.0.2 is Released, I suppose it can be installed instead of 4.0.0.4.

Use the following command to download:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus/Vuze_4.1.0.2_linux.tar.bz2?download && tar xvjf Vuze_4.1.0.2_linux.tar.bz2 && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin

Rest of the commands remain the same. For changing the permissions use the corrected command given above i.e.

“sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/vuze”

“sudo chown -R 777 /usr/share/vuze” should be “sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/vuze”

Or just install Deluge and have something that even the windows guys wish they could run!
