In order to get rid of annoying update messages at startup, go into Tools > Options > Interface > Start. Disable the 'Check for latest version" and 'Auto download updates' options.

Also disable 'Enable plugin update checking' in Tools > Options > Plugins > Plugin Update.

Updated to 2.8.0.0 and it won't start now for me either:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.biglybt.platform.JavaBitMode
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.biglybt.platform.JavaBitMode
unzip:  cannot find or open /opt/biglybt/swt/swt-x86.jar, /opt/biglybt/swt/swt-x86.jar.zip or /opt/biglybt/swt/swt-x86.jar.ZIP.
Error: Could not find or load main class com.biglybt.ui.Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.biglybt.ui.Main

Looks like it can't figure out if the platform is 32-bit or 64-bit, so it falls back to 32-bit but the SWT .zip is missing. The last version I was using (2.7.0.2) seems to do a similar check except it passes and finds the 64-bit SWT. I tried copying the startup script (/usr/bin/biglybt) from the working version and using it in the broken version but it didn't make any difference so the problem appears to be elsewhere.

Either way 2.8.0.0 definitely seems to be broken.

thanks for answering mrxx. I have tried to compile again the package but I have the same result. In the end I have installed the previous version and updated it from the package.

@jontxo, I just waited a day. In the mean time upstream apparently had fixed whatever caused the problem.

mrxx, how did you solve the issue?

mrxx commented on 2021-07-14 21:45 (UTC)

Everything ok now.

@mrxx: 2.8.0.0 runs like a dream on Linux Manjaro. I installed it into the system by running the setup. Perhaps it can't find it's root. Try running cd <where its installed> and then run the executable. I doubt I'll be using the aur version anymore. P.S. Try launching with the desktop file it makes for you.

2.8.0.0 is out, but it stops with: "Could not find or load main class com.biglybt.platform.JavaBitMode". Any ideas?

@davidalb97 Can you create an issue for that upstream?

davidalb97 commented on 2021-06-07 18:07 (UTC)

@txtsd Yes, it happens to me too. Could only mitigate the problem by removing/archiving torrents that had their data directory inaccessible.

txtsd commented on 2021-01-11 08:57 (UTC)

Does this frequently freeze or crash for anyone else? I'm trying to find the root of the problem, and upstream is unable to help.
