Problem has been found (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55818):

• on a fresh qbittorrent@4.4.1 install (and presumably on the latest version as well), the problem does not occur
• however, if there was an old ~/.local/share/data/qBittorrent directory (or ~/.config/qBittorrent, not sure which is the problem), the problem occurs.
• the problem is removed by deleting the old directory (not sure which one was removed)

. Question: does removing ~/.config/qBittorrent have an effect?

After removal of the directory, qBittorrent works with above commands!

Anything left to do here ?

Guix' qBittorrent package has been updated from 4.4.1 to 4.5.4, so the Guix part is done. That said, paraphrasing myself to account for the update, the following issue might exist: * on a fresh ***@***.*** install, everything is fine. * however, if there was an old ~/.local/share/data/qBittorrent directory (or ~/.config/qBittorrent, not sure which is the problem) (let's say dating from 3.0.0 to put a concrete number on it) * if the old directory is removed before starting the new qbittorrent, everything appears to be fine again. I don't know if this issue still exists (maybe it has been resolved in some recent, but it should be easy to test for contributors.

qBittorrent version: v4.4.1

Version is obsolete.

Thank you for your contribution, we are starting to close all old/stale/obsolete tickets.

Please update to latest qBittorrent 4.6.7 ATTOW.

If any issues are experienced, please open a new ticket.

qBittorrent version: v4.4.1
Version is obsolete.

If you read the other comments, you would know that some issues may still be present in newer version.

If any issues are experienced, please open a new ticket.

Issues were experienced, that is why this ticket was opened! I refuse to copy-paste my earlier comment in a new ticket for sake of 'freshness' (non-'staleness') -- that's pointless for everyone involved. (No comment on what girish17 will do.)

EDIT: also, in my previous comment, I noted a potential issue instead of an experienced issue -- being not-experienced (yet) doesn't make them a non-issue.

Thank you for your contribution, we are starting to close all old/stale/obsolete tickets.
@xavier2k6 xavier2k6 closed this as [not planned]

Maybe, instead of closing tickets for being ~a year old, it would be better to actually analyze and fix them. Being old is no indication of being false, and I included an easy way for developers to test for the issue in a previous comment.

Because of all the above, I reject the insincere "thank you" -- clearly my comments were unappreciated, as they were ignored. Please don't thank me for wasting my time with qbittorrent.

[luzpaz]

@emixa-d sincere apologies. We're trying to get some control over the bugtracker. Thank you for indicating this issue is still relevant.

Edit: So you can reproduce the same issue on latest 4.6.7 ?

@luzpaz I do not believe that this ticket is relevant any more.
