Questions[vuze](ubuntu)

Program name: Vuze - its a torrent client. What is needed: installing vuze program.

What I did so far according to one of the users - which actually enabled me to at least run the program.

The work: Terminal -> tar -xjvf VuzeInstaller.tar.bz2

Output: folder with content of package got extracted into Downloads

The work: Terminal -> cd vuze

Output: navigated to vuze folder

The work: Terminal -> ./vuze

Output: the program got opened!

Kyodake - you helped me already!

Conclusion: The program got opened, but the situation is far from resting on the laurels!

Question:

Now that the program at least works - what do I have to do further to install it so it appears on list of available apps and I can run it without going through this entire process?

My idea: STEP 1: According to a tutorial - the installed programs are usually stored in

/bin/

/usr/bin/

/sbin/

/usr/sbin/

STEP 2: Move the entire Vuze folder into e.g. /usr/bin/

But..what next?

Problem: Inability to install Vuze torrent client using VuzeInstaller.tar.bz2. (https://www.vuze.com/)

What did an author do:

FIRST STEP - 0. Downloaded the file (obviously!)

NEXT STEP - 1. Extracted the file into specific directory

-Technically 2-4 steps can be avoided by simply opening the README.txt file in extracted folder, but it was done according to the Askubuntu.com tutorial.-

NEXT STEP - 2. The work: Terminal -> cd 'directory'

Output: Navigated to the directory

NEXT STEP - 3. The work: Once in a directory - looked for a file named INSTALL/INSTALL.TXT/README

NEXT STEP - 4. The work: Terminal -> xdg-open README.txt

Output: the file got opened

NEXT STEP - 5. According to Askubuntu.com tutorial - This file will contain the right steps to follow to continue the installation process.

In this case the file gives the following output:

"REQUIREMENTS: Azureus requires Sun Java 1.5.x or newer to run. JRE 1.6 (6.0 series) is highly recommended. http://java.sun.com

RUNNING: 1 Extract the contents of this .tar.bz2 file. 2. Change to the 'azureus' directory where the files were extracted. 3. Start Azureus by running the script named 'azureus'; ex. "./azureus"

NOTE: If you have the Java JRE installed somewhere unusual (or not in your PATH), use the JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR option in the script."

NEXT STEP - 6. Working according to readme.txt:

6.1 Extract the contents of this .tar.bz2 file.

The work: well, the directory I am in is already the one resulting from extracting the .tar.bz2 file. Perhaps the tutorial refers to the azureus2.jar file?

Output: extracted file and folder name changed to Azureus

6.2 Change to the 'azureus' directory where the files were extracted.

The work: Terminal -> cd Azureus

Output: changed directory

6.3 Start Azureus by running the script named 'azureus'; ex. "./azureus"

The work: Terminal -> azureus'; ex. "./azureus

Output: '> ' (empty line, pending, doesnt do anything)

Conclusion: following the tutorial didnt work in my case.

NEXT STEP - 7. According to Askubuntu.com tutorial - there is also another way of installing, called classic approach, which I checked. The classic approach: extract the file -> cd dir_name -> ./configure -> make -> sudo make install or checkinstall

The work: Terminal -> cd Vuze

Output: changed doirectory

The work: Terminal -> ./configure

Output: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

The work: Terminal -> make

Output: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

The work: Terminal -> sudo make install

Output: make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

The work: Terminal -> checkinstall

Output: make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

... Conclusion: using the classic approach did not work in my case.

Question:

1. If both the classic approach and the readme.txt file approach do not work - author is desperately looking for assistance.

Best Regards!

I am very new to Ubuntu and I'm struggling. Currently running 16.04 and I've installed Vuze via Ubuntu Software. The manual install was problematic for me.

When I click on a magnet link in Firefox it asks which app I want to open with. Transmission is shown but Vuze isn't listed. I click on 'Choose another Application' but I don't know where the application is. I can see /snap/vuze-vs with various sub-folders; 3, common and current each with their own sub-folders and files, but I have no idea where/what the actual 'executable' is.

Can anyone help? I have Googled extensively but can't find an answer.

When I run Vuze in terminal Vuze runs with message and then crashes

Another copy of Vuze appears to be running: failed to lock file

\.azureus\.azlock

Vuze will now close

and in terminal all kind of warnings like: (Vuze:3427): Gtk-WARNING

**: Allocating size to GtkButton 0x7f7eb86e5dc0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

Exit from Azureus complete

Azureus TERMINATED.

I have tried uninstalling it but command

sudo apt-get purge vuze

says

Package 'vuze' is not installed, so not removed

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

I have delete /home/my_username/.vuze and /.azerus directories but it didn't help.

I have installed Vuze on Ubuntu 11.04.Everything is working fine.But when I close Vuze and try to reopen it, it won't open. If I restart the system and try opening Vuze it would open normally. So can someone tell me what is the problem here and how to solve this?
