I found a post in the Vuze forums suggesting running it as root, did you try that? This wouldn't be a solution anyway (it's meant to be portable after all), but it may at least help find the cause of the problem.
Thank you for this method.:biggrin: Much appreciated.:klatsch_3: Running the application as root has solved the problem related to running Vuze Portable. I will be listing the way I handle this problem with your help, while hoping this can act as a tutorial!
Tutorial to run (Vuze) VEM as a portable version for Linux OS.
1) Download the portable support zip (VEM v5.6.0.0) here: http://www.sb-innovation.de/attachme...le_support.zip
2) Copy and paste all content from the linux folder (from the portable zip) to the vuze folder (on your pc).
3) Next create or edit your desktop file with this source:
Code:[Desktop Entry]
Name=Vuze
Comment=Vuze BitTorrent Client
Exec=gksudo -k -u root /home/xXXXx/vuze/vuze
Type=Application
*Icon=none
Categories=Application;Network;
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent
Terminal=0
Name[en_US]=vuze(run).desktop
THE EXECUTIVE LINE IN THE DESKTOP FILE SHOULD HAVE THE DIRECTORY WHERE THE VUZE FOLDER IS PRESENT. IN MY CASE IT IS "/home/xXXXx/vuze/vuze" SO IT SHOULD BE "/home/YOUR "PC" NAME HERE/FOLLOWED BY THE FOLDER LOCATION/AND LASTLY THE VUZE OR AZUREUS SCRIPT"
4) Save it as vuze.desktop and make it executable either by pasting this in the terminalor right click on the vuze.desktop and choose properties. Hover to the permission and check the option "Allow executing file as program".Code:chmod u+x vuze.desktop
5) So the next time when you run Vuze (VEM). It will ask for your password which you have set up and it will run as a portable version which will create a "Azureus.conf" folder within the Vuze folder. This will act as the configuration folder.
FAQ(s)
1) Why run it as a portable version?
A) You can run multiple instances. (It doesn't create the ./azureus configuration folder, bypassing the limitation of multiple instance(s) running).
2) Can I run the vuze.desktop through a rooted file explorer?
A) Yes you can. However, never use the rooted file explorer if you don't know what you're doing. You can ruin the system's files/configurations.
3) Where can I report bugs/errors?
A) Use the VEM section here: Vuze/Azureus. Head over to the latest thread and report the problem. Make sure you mention whether your version is portable or not.
4) Is this a stable release?
A) No. If you read (anon's post above), you'll notice it being said that this is just a solution/exploit to get the portable version running. So use it at your own risk!:cool:
I'm pleased it worked, I still consider it a workaround at best, but it'll work for this particular case.
Can't you use ~ as shorthand for your home directory? Or does the path get parsed after you become root? I don't remember...Quote:

Thank you for pointing this out. You can use "~vuze/vuze" in the executive path if Vuze has been been installed in the home directory. I copied this script from a source of vuze which was stored in a different directory and changed the home/name/vuze/vuze.
It still works. I run Firefox in that method from the program launcher i.e., ALT+F2= RUN A COMMAND (~firefox/firefox). I mainly do this to avoid launching a different release of Firefox since I have two or three versions lying around.
Please help me find the soundtracks for My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (also known as Oregairu or its Japanese title Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatteiru). I've seen them on YouTube, but I don't want to download, transcode and tag some eighty videos... and I doubt someone bought the CDs and thought "let's upload this to YouTube only", so the original source has to be out there.
Only soundtrack or singles as well?
I'll try my sources, see if I can dig up anything!
Link sent! Tell me if you find what you're looking for!
It had everything I wanted and more tracks I didn't even know existed :soMuchWin: Thanks so much!
Please help me find this =]
This version is of somewhat higher quality than the one I already have, and has a different translation with soft subtitles instead of hardcoded ones.Code:(project-gxs)_Voices_of_a_Distant_Star_(Hoshi_no_Koe)_(10bit_DVD_672x504)_[niizk].mkv

All the links in animetosho.org are dead, and so are public torrents. eMule is a no-go for me, as the provider I'm stuck with right now uses CGNAT.
I just looked up on a private tracker "animetorrents.me" and there were no results. Maybe someone with an animebytes account can check it out for you.
Hahahahaha, I don't know, they are weird people.
I had a look at that application form, and it seems pretty reasonable to me. Remember, "invite application" does not mean "free invite". You have to show that you're aware of what the tracker offers, actually have an interest on that, and know what's required to be considered a good member. Displaying the ability to string a few coherent sentences doesn't hurt either. Obviously, none of those things guarantee you will actually be a good member, but they generally correlate.
Besides, CN and FSC were much worse, wanting to know your identity on trackers, torrent forums and non-torrent communities, in addition to all IPs and seedboxes you use, and threatening with blacklisting or global bans if the details you supplied were perceived as incorrect or incomplete. Their site, their rules, of course - but personally, being treated like a criminal asking for parole before I even join would make me think twice.
The best application was TL's, without doubt: join their IRC channel, answer four questions (the most complicated being "what is BitTorrent?"), give your e-mail address and that's it!
Oops, seems I felt like typing! Anyway, thanks a lot for checking, alpacino. If anyone else is on other anime trackers, I'd also appreciate if you could have a look. And as I posted in the last seen movie thread, I recommend this one, it's a good animated short story.
I searched "project-gxs", found their homepage, and in turn, a link for the movie. The hashes don't match, but it seems to be the same release so I'll count it as a win.
Is there any scene release for the linux variant of WinRAR? I would take any version, it doesn't matter. I can't seem to unpack scene releases using gzip or ark correctly, so I think I need this but I can't seem to find it.
@anon: If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.
