Hi, just installed Haiku Os. But can’t get k and q clients working… I install them but when i click on them they appear in tracker and then disappear after a second. What should I do?
Hello! Try to start that apps from the Terminal, and see if there shows any error message.
Before that, you have to look where kTorrent / qTorrent are installed. This could be done using the search function, or looking at the link properties available in the menu.
KTorrent: Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport – it doesn’t do anything
QBittorrent: Just gives me a windows that says “qBittorrent is a file sharing program. When you run a torrent, its data …”
They are installed through Depot, can it be wrong about it :-D?
Hello! Try the following with kTorrent:
In terminal, type the following command, before start the app:
export $(dbus-launch)
After that, run the kTorrent and tell me if works.
Sorry, still doesn’t work.
Iirc there are haiku nativ solutions without qt
I just checked, and it looks like there are the only torrent clients having a GUI. There’s aria2 as well, doing its job, but a GUI would be nicer.
qBittorrent indeed displays that info window, which you have to close twice, and KTorrent doesn’t even install in my case:
Odd, it installs just fine on x86_64. Could you try this:
pkgman install ktorrent_x86
and see if there are any errors.

Hmm, I see the same problem now on x86_gcc2.
So libktorrent_x86-2.1.0-2-x86_gcc2.hpkg has somehow got corrupted. I’ve bumped the revision to get it rebuilt but at the moment all x86_gcc2 builders are offline.
libktorrent_x86 is fixed now.
