problem: when starting up azureus, it pauses for a few seconds and then disappears

cause: i don’t know the real cause but i have observed that it happens when azureus doesn’t make a clean exit. this happens sometimes when i double-click on a torrent and az suddenly disappears and the next time i start up the program it just pauses and then goes. maybe because i just have 256 meg ram installed.

workaround: on a terminal (applications - accessories - terminal) issue the following commands:

rm .azureus/.lock
rm .azureus/logs/*.log
rm .azureus/logs/save/*

and az should start normally.

i found this tidbit over at ubuntuforums.org.

note: this is a copy of azureus on ubuntu from my old blog and was reposted here for my reference.
