Run from the menu it just appears to not start. Only when run from the command line do you get the error.
*** ANCIENT VERSION DETECTED! *** Sorry, this program is too ancient to run without an explicit user action: If it's not possible to upgrade you may edit the file /home/username/.gtk-gnutella/config_gnet and set the variable "ancient_version_force" to "gtk-gnutella/0.96.1 (2006-02-22; GTK2; Linux i686)". You will then be able to run this version forever, but please consider upgrading, as Gnutella is an evolving network in which ancient software is less useful or even harmful! *** EXITING *** 07-03-20 08:03:27 (WARNING): trapped foreign exit(), cleaning up... 07-03-20 08:03:27 (WARNING): cleanup all done. -- gtk-gnutella thinks it's too old to start https://launchpad.net/bugs/92160 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
