Thanks, worked great

Worked perfectly, thank you very much.

Awesome...  Working great.

The information you provided is great but the overall situation is dumb. 

apt-get isn't the future, it's the now.

And "Vuse" needs to get with the now.

thanks a lot - worked great -NO typos !!!!!  (which cost me usually hours)

It's clear, thank you.

Or take the easy way and go to:

hi there... nice howto... any chance it can be made to work on 64bit?

 Initializer::<init>::110,Main::<init>::84,Main::main::217,NativeMethodAccessorImpl::invoke0::-2,NativeMethodAccessorImpl::invoke::39,DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl::invoke::25,Method::invoke::597,MainExecutor$1::run::37,Thread::run::619
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM

  Ok, that was simple.... just download the 64bit version from sourceforge...

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php

There is another simple solution. Run the vuze update and copy the new *.jar file into $HOME/.azureus then edit `which vuze` and change -classpath /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar to $HOME/.azureus/Azureus4.0.0.4.jar

Does this method keep your settings in Azureus? Or do you lose everything because of the uninstall?

Works great for me, and it keeps the settings, torrents and all other things

Forlong ..... your bloody marvelous mate .  Works like a charm . Saved     me countless hours of hair pulling ;)

I only got to: sudo tar -xvjf Vuze_*.tar.bz2 -C /opt/ which gives the error:

tar: Vuze_*.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I can say that i had problems in extracting to /opt but i managed to move the extracted folder there using "sudo mv"

I'm running ubuntu 8.10

Thanks! Great help, fast and easy.

Still works flawlessly on 1/12/2009

Thank you for your interesting article

This worked amazingly well. Thanks!! :D

Geez, thanks. This is the only tutorial that actually helped me!

I get a msg saying opt/vuze is not writeble. How do I make it writeble?

Thanks. I had to use Nautilus to change folfer permitions. Looks ok now. Thanks again

Hey.  Thanks for the great HowTo.  I'm having some problems do.  Whenever I run Vuze from the Menu or from /opt/vuze/vuze, a warning comes up to tell me that Vuze closed untidily and then it crashes as soon as I move the mouse.  When I run sudo /opt/vuze/vuze from the terminal, it works fine.  I changed the ownership as you suggested above and it stills crashes.  Terminal gives this:

(SWT:25363): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width 250 and height -1
/opt/vuze/vuze: line 188: 25363 Aborted                 ${JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR}java "${JAVA_ARGS}" -cp "${CLASSPATH}" -Djava.library.path="${PROGRAM_DIR}" -Dazureus.install.path="${PROGRAM_DIR}" -Dazureus.script="$0" $JAVA_PROPS $START_CLASS "$@"

I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 if that's any help.

Fantastic HOWTO, been going round in circles with other variations. Nice one!

I made use of this again after a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04... thank you for the second time!

Thank you for posting this up, helped me get rid of the annoying update prompt with the repository version.

Thanks again!

Thanks for this man!

Started to get really confused about the updating problem, I thought that I was the problem :P Now it works perfect!

Peace

Hi,

Thanks for the great tip. My appreciation for the great work!!

i had no trouble installing and everything, but now when i use vuze it says it needs to restart, then it says it cant restart because it needs the plugin vzupdate. i cant find such plugin.. and i installed the beta vuze updater. so what do i do? cause it wont restart and i keep clicking on nthe icon and it never comes up. if i restart my computer it happens all over again. please help!!

Ive been a Linux user for all of 1 hour and your guide made this easy. Hadnt used the terminal before but followed instructions step by step and it works...great

Que bien hice todo y estuvo chido para mi funciono Gracias Forlong

Thank you so much for simplifying this for linux noobs like me. This failure to update was driving me nuts.

great thanks

wow thanks . great instructions

FYI, echo/cat | sudo tee is a quick and easy way to avoid launching a gui editor.

echo -e "#\!/bin/sh\nexec /opt/vuze/azureus \"\$@\"" | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/vuze

Thanks Forlnog for the nice how to.

just perfect thanx a lot ...

Sweet! Still works, thank you!

Worked like charm... Thank you very much.

This tutorial starts with the removal of the previous version of azureus … which could have been installed from the distro. The old azureus from the debian distro uses …

openjdk-6-jre + the many dependencies

When I do a fresh install of debian ... followed by the use of ...

default-jre + dependency *(as per this tutorial)

I get an error ... ie sun java required

But when I installed “openjdk-6-jre + the many dependencies” ... azureus/vuze started ... A-OK

--- See ... "How to install Vuze on Ubuntu & Debian" ... tutorial for a different but simular way to do this ... *(link below)

Goodluck all ...

Thank you so much.

worked perfectly and for once the instructions were simple to follow. Most "guides" seem to leave out a key step or two thinking "any Linux guru should know to do that"  Well if I was one of them I would'nt need guides now would I.

Keep up the good work.

Everything worked like a charm. I always used to do a lot of tricky stuff to update my Vuze (actually I rarely updated anymore due to this) when it was so damn simple.

Cheers for the guide! And thank you!

thank you thank you thank you
