Bug Description

On Arch Linux running Python 2.6, LottaNZB will not allow me to select stand-alone mode as a normal user. I get an error stating that the md5 module is deprecated. Clearly this error is coming from Hellanzb, but when hella is started from the terminal as a daemon it works flawlessly (local front-end mode obviously) or if I run the whole lot as root. Of course I am not going to run either as root.

Any news on this one? I encountered this bug once, while playing with the three usage modes, but I was unable to reproduce it. And by reproduce, I mean that the mode selection window contained the md5 deprecation warning.

I might have found the problem. In the selection window, LottaNZB only displays the very first message, but it should rather display the last one. I could reproduce this bug by running LottaNZB in front-end mode and attempting to switch to the stand-alone mode, while the old HellaNZB instance was still running. The selection dialog said "DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead" but in fact, the error message was: "Couldn't listen on 127.0.0.1:8760: [Errno 98] Address already in use.\n", "Exiting: FatalError'>: Cannot bind to XML RPC port, is another hellanzb queue daemon already running?" The problem is that LottaNZB doesn't shut down HellaNZB daemons it's connected to in front-end mode. But this needs to be done before LottaNZB can successfully enter it's stand-alone mode.

So what I suggest you to do is shutting your HellaNZB daemon down manually and then starting LottaNZB.

I also backported it to the 0.4 branch, but guess another version of the 0.4.x series is unlikely to be released.
