Using sudo: Unpacked archive and copied contents to /usr/share/doc/vuze
Vuze V4.5.1.0/4 az3

Error: The folder /usr/share/doc/vuze” is not writable.

sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /usr/share/doc/vuze

sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /usr/share/vuze

Vuze wouldn’t update, it always said that “The folder /usr/share/vuze” is not writable.

This just gives:

chown: missing operand after `mysername:mysername/usr/share/vuze’
Try `chown –help’ for more information.

What is the correct command to enter?

To give this the Vuze icon:
Edit ~/.local/share/applications/alacarte-made.desktop, changing the Icon= line:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_IN]=gnome-panel-launcher
Name[en_IN]=Vuze
Exec=/opt/vuze/vuze
Name=Vuze
Icon=/opt/vuze/vuze.png

The first line is empty, that's how the file is created by Gnome; it may or may not be important.

The icon change is not effective immediately. It is effective after ubuntu restart, probably after log off and on. To test the change: Preferences->Main Menu->Internet.

To create a launcher on the desktop (with the Vuze icon):
Applications->Internet and right click on Vuze then choose "Add this launcher to desktop".

To create a MIME type association (so clicking on a .torrent file opens Vuze):
Create ~/.mailcap:
#############################
#
# MIME types and programs that process those types
#
# Users can add their own rules if they wish by creating a “.mailcap”
# file in their home directory. Entries included there will take
# precedence over /etc/mailcap
#
# The man page for update-mime(8) describes the fields
#
############################

application/x-bittorrent; /opt/vuze/vuze ‘%s’; description=”BitTorrent client”; test=test -n “$DISPLAY”

I’m only guessing that Vuze is X-aware; if not the test= section is useless but doesn’t do any harm. If you want to make this MIME type association for all users, modify /etc/mailcap instead.

To configure Firefox (3.0.3) to feed .torrent files to Vuze:
Edit, Preferences, Applications
Content type: Bit torrent seed file
Use other
Browse to /opt/vuze/vuze (wherever you put it)

To start Vuze when starting a desktop session:
System->Control Centre->(Personal) Sessions->Startup Programs->Add
Name: Vuze
Command: /opt/vuze/vuze (wherever you put it)
Comment: Starts Vuze BitTorrent client

If System->Control Centre is not available (it is not, by default) it can be configured by System->Preferences->Main Menu->System and selecting Control Centre.

sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /usr/share/vuze

Vuze wouldn’t update, it always said that “The folder /usr/share/vuze” is not writable.
