[Solved] No GUI after Compiling on Ubuntu
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2015 10:40 pm
Hey everyone,
I just thought I'd share something I discovered today after compiling the latest qBittorrent on Ubuntu. Basically I had the version from the PPA installed previously but since it was no longer updating and falling behind the Windows version I decided to update from the source instead. However what I discovered after compiling the latest libtorrent and qBittorrent, installing it and then trying to run it, is the main GUI window would not show even though everything seemed to be running fine; torrents were downloading, I could access the Web UI, etc.
Thankfully the fix was quite simple and all I needed to do was delete the following file:
Once deleted I was able to re-open qBittorrent without any problems.
