    HOWTO: Installing Azureus on Breezy

    UPDATED! NO MORE RESIZING PROBLEMS
    Part 1: Installing Azureus

    Before anything make sure u uncomment the universe and multiverse repositories and add the following in in /etc/apt/sources.list:
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    add at the end:
    PHP Code:
    deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf breezy free non-free
    deb-src http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf breezy free non-free 
    followed by a
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Do the following to install azureus:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5 libcommons-cli-java liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libswt-gtk-3.1-java
    PHP Code:
    wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/azureus_2.3.0.6-3_all.deb 
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.3.0.6-3_all.deb
    Now set the correct java version by:
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/bin/java
    Part 2: Running Azureus

    To make Azureus run smoothly on Breezy u need to make sure that the ports which are used by the torrents are open for file sharing. There are several ways to do this but the easiest way is the following:
    first install firestarter (a GUI frontend to iptables firewall)
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install firestarter
    now start firestarter from applications--> system tools
    Remember that firestarter runs with sudo. To make firestarter run everytime when u log into GNOME, just add gksudo firestarter to System --> Preferences --> Sessions ---> Startup Programs.

    alright now that firestarter is up, make sure its configured (first run) and go to edit -->preferences on the firestarter main window and in the Interfaces section check "Minimize to tray on window close".
    now save and close the preferences window and look for the three tabs on the firestarter window, namely:Status , Events , Policy
    Click on the Policy tab.
    Click on the white space just below Allow Service | Port | For. This will activate ADD Rule at the top with a big blue PLUS sign. Click on that and choose the name of the service as bittorrent and the port for that service as 6881.
    when u are done, click on Add and u are all set!!!
    now start azureus and enjoy!!
    U might want to remove this rule once u are done seeding or downloading.

    Re: HOWTO: Installing Azureus on Breezy

    Isn't JRE 1.5 or JDK 1.5 avaiable for breezy? I know it's avaiable for hoary, i have 1.5 installed right now...

    Maybe the hoary's version works on breezy? I've upgraded from hoary and sun-j2re1.5
    Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition, Sun Microsystems(TM)
    still working here.

    sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.3.0.4-3_all.deb
    That should install azureus and get u all set.
    I'm running Breezy and uncommenting the universe and multiverse sources only results in errors "Couldn't stat source package list", so I'm unable to get java as well as many other programs. I'm using the source list that came with the breezy CD, are they incorrect? This is what I've got:
    Code:
    deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted
    
    
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
    
    ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
    ## distribution.
    deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
    deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted

    ## repository.

    Is there something wrong?

    You need to refresh the repos

    sudo apt-get update

    I'd also comment out the backports repos for a while. They're not working yet.
