Any HellaNZB users? If so do you use a GUI client?

Which one do you use?

Decided to go with hellaGUI. Simply for the reason that between it, LottaNZB and myHella, it was the first one that I got to work. And to be fair it really does everything I need so there you go.

I will assume that you already have hellanzb setup to your liking and that you already have it running daemonised (hellanzb.py -D)

I downloaded hellagui1.1.1.tar.gz to my home directory. I then extracted the tar.gz file.

Code:

# cd ~
# tar xvf hellagui1.1.1.tar.gz

I then ran it for the first time

Code:

# cd hellagui1.1.1
# ./hellagui1.1.0

A box then pops up asking for my XML-RPC password. I type this in.

Viola it works.

For some reason for it to work it needs to run from the directory. If you run it from any other directory you will get the following error

Code:

(hellagui1.1.0:4342): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file 'hella1.1.glade'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jongi-fc/hellagui1.1.1/hellagui1.1.0", line 419, in <module>
    hgui=HellaGui()
  File "/home/jongi-fc/hellagui1.1.1/hellagui1.1.0", line 58, in __init__
    self.xml = gtk.glade.XML('hella1.1.glade')
RuntimeError: could not create GladeXML object

This lead me to create the following script with I have then placed in /usr/bin

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/jongi-fc/hellagui1.1.1/
./hellagui1.1.0

In this way I just put hellagui in any launcher/menu item I create and it loads.

Hi Jongi. As one of the creators of LottaNZB, I'd like to know what kind of problems you had with LottaNZB. Perhaps I can solve some problems and help some future Fedora LottaNZB users. First of all, did you use LottaNZB-0.1? I noticed you posted to this thread about a day after LottaNZB-0.1 came out. Second, if so, could you help me out and post the terminal output for LottaNZB.

I understand if you don't want to go through the trouble of having to install LottaNZB again, but it would really help me out.

Thanks

Sander

I use LottaNZB, I just made one small change to make the icon in the system tray the same arrow pointing downwards that it has as a system icon.

Configuring LottaNZB to work with my pre-existing hellanzb and changed XML-RPC password was a bit of a hassle... but I don't know if there is a new version by now.

Great! Let me know if you encounter any problems.

PS: We're looking for people that want to make distribution-specific packages. I'd love to have a package for Fedora as well. Let me know if you're interested at avirulence@lottanzb.org. Thanks!
