Deluge would just crash and would not show up at all.

I tried searching for a solution, but did not find any. I tried upgrading to the ppa version of deluge with no luck. Then I just removed all the .state (not to be mistaken with state directory) files (peers_tab.state, files_tab.state, torrentview.state, tabs.state, dht.state, session.state and any other file containing .state at the end) from /home/MyUserName/.config/deluge and was able to launch deluge again. You should not remove the state directory because you will lose the torrent list if you do.
After that, you will be able to launch deluge. It is a good idea to recheck (Right click on a torrent file and select Force Recheck) all torrent files after you do this.

Hope this helps.

If you want to try this, you must have compiz enabled. You may also want to install mplayer and codecs for videos you want to use as desktop background. Read the rest of this entry »

I found a similar application for my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Alpha. It has similar interface and features. It is called bleachbit and can be installed via Synaptic (universe repos need to be enabled) and can be accessed from Applications>System Tools>Bleachbit. It is also capable of wiping the data so that it is impossible(or lets say difficult) to recover. It can also clean backup files (those hidden with ~ at the end of the filename, .bak, .tmp and more) with Deep Scan.
