Vuze has stopped working on Linux system, can't replace

CK7 · Jul 30, 2016

I've been using Vuze for over 2 years without issue, but since last week I've been unable to download anything.

- Get a message "Failed" within half a second.

- Click Details and get this message: Error : No data contained in 'http://extratorrent.cc/

I'm using a Linux system, and this is rather annoying because the whole reason I have a Linux system is to download things without getting viruses, etc.

When I try to install a different torrent program in the Terminal I get this message:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-3.18.17-031817-lowlatency : Depends: linux-headers-3.18.17-031817 but it is not installable
qbittorrent : Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar7 (>= 0.16.11) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

If I try to run 'apt-get -f install' I get this message:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Any ideas?

I'm not a Linux guru, my experience with the OS is limited, but it sounds like those commands need to be run with root/superuser privileges. Try adding "sudo" (without the quotes) before the rest of those commands.

you need to update your system and dependancy list, then install them:

transmission and qbittorrent are to popular torrent clients

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

Thank you for the effort so far, but when I try to update I get a lot of Error messages. like so:

Because,13.10 is not a LTS release some of the apt sources URLs have changed to the oldrelease mirror.

You can fix by changing the urls appropriately old-releases.ubuntu.com for example but
Realistically you should think about upgrading to a newer LTS release which is supported and recieves regular security patches. This is important for internet facing machines like a torrent box.

skittle :

I appreciate the info and effort. I've tried to upgrade before and failed. Looks like I may have to give it another shot.

skittle · Aug 2, 2016

You may find it easier to backup your important data and fresh install a new release than upgrading
