Azureus problems....
 

hi ppl..

i've got two wierd problems.. both with azureus...

1)
i normally use the root account.. everything worked fine in that.. but true to ubuntu spirit.. i've ditched the root and made myself a user account...

and i've managed to get almost everythin working... only azureus is giving me trouble...

first thing is my DHT and NAT is always firewalled.. i've done the port forwarding in my router through 192.168.1.1.. it works fine in XP.. only ubuntu is giving me problems... not in root though.. in the ordinary user account..

i've also allowed it in firestarter... i've attached a screenshot... my default port is 65534..

i've also uninstalled firestarter and tried it.. i get the same error...

2)
when in root.. azureus auto update works fine..

but now i get permission denied error.. plz advice.. i've attached screenshot for this too..

As I recall you don't have to be root to install Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php ) so if you installed it as root and try to update that install as a user, you won't have root permissions to do an update.

thx rjwilmsi.. i got around that permission denied problem..

i still need help with that NAT firewall problem.. any help will be appreciated...

i had the same problem when i tried to use it. i found out that you have to install Sun's java runtime environment to get it to work.

here is how you do it.

First you will need to add all the extra repositories for Ubuntu. (ie Multiverse, Universe...) Please see other how to's on how to do that.

Now go to Sun's website http://java.sun.com/ and select the java jdk or jre that you want.

This example uses J2jsdk-1.4.2 but you can use any J2sdk. Run similar commands from the terminal:

First install the required packages:

sudo apt-get install fakeroot java-package java-common

Create the Deb file for the install:

fakeroot make-jpkg sun-j2sdk-1.4.2_10-linux-i586.bin

Install The deb file

sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk-1.4.2_10_i386.deb

Now make Sun's java the default by running this command and selecting it.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

you can now check your java sdk with:

java -version

java version "1.4.2_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_10-b03, mixed mode)

i did that too.. but with no avail m8..
