OK, I'm having similar issues here, but I can't tell if it's exactly the same bug. Azureus (2.5.0.0 on Ubuntu Feisty) worked for a bit after the install, then (I suppose it was force-closed by a log-out) it stopped starting. The main window would appear for a bit and then it just died.
At first I was using the gcj java, and the errors in the console looked like: ******************** $ azureus DEBUG::Thu Jan 18 16:11:30 GMT+01:00 2007::org.gudy.azureus2.core3.security.impl.SESecurityManagerImpl::initialise::-1: No SSL provider available SESecurityManager::initialise::-1,ConfigurationChecker::setSystemProperties::-1,ConfigurationManager::initialise::-1,ConfigurationManager::getInstance::-1,LoggerImpl::init::-1,Logger::<clinit>::-1,Class::initializeClass::-1,Logger::isEnabled::-1,StartServer::<init>::-1,Main::<init>::-1,Main::main::-1 DEBUG::Thu Jan 18 16:11:30 GMT+01:00 2007::org.gudy.azureus2.core3.security.impl.SESecurityManagerImpl::initialise::-1: No SSL provider available SESecurityManager::initialise::-1,CryptoManagerImpl::<init>::-1,CryptoManagerImpl::getSingleton::-1,CryptoManagerFactory::getSingleton::-1,AzureusCoreImpl::<init>::-1,AzureusCoreImpl::create::-1,AzureusCoreFactory::create::-1,Main::<init>::-1,Main::main::-1 DEBUG::Thu Jan 18 16:11:32 GMT+01:00 2007::org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl::writeStats::-1: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Azureus_Stats.xml (Permission denied) at gnu.java.nio.channels.FileChannelImpl.open(libgcj.so.70) at gnu.java.nio.channels.FileChannelImpl.<init>(libgcj.so.70) at gnu.java.nio.channels.FileChannelImpl.create(libgcj.so.70) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(libgcj.so.70) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(libgcj.so.70) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(libgcj.so.70) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterImpl.write(Azureus2.jar.so) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.writeStats(Azureus2.jar.so) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.update(Azureus2.jar.so) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl$1.runSupport(Azureus2.jar.so) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.util.AEThread.run(Azureus2.jar.so) Aborted (core dumped) ************************************ Then I did a "$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun" and I got: ************************************ $ azureus DEBUG::Thu Jan 18 16:15:38 CET 2007::org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl::writeStats::206: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Azureus_Stats.xml (Permission denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:70) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterImpl.write(StatsWriterImpl.java:63) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.writeStats(StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.java:203) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.update(StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.java:102) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.stats.impl.StatsWriterPeriodicImpl$1.runSupport(StatsWriterPeriodicImpl.java:235) at org.gudy.azureus2.core3.util.AEThread.run(AEThread.java:69) # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (53484152454432554E54494D450E435050020F), pid=14667, tid=3085020048 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.6.0-b105 mixed mode, sharing) # An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid14667.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Aborted (core dumped) ************************************** Then I looked for work-arounds and one of the similar bugs reported suggested to delete "~/.azureus/logs/*", which I did, and now it starts.
