Nicotine+ Problem in Ubuntu 18.04

br flag

When I launch Nicotine Plus, I get the following message:

Gtk-Message: 21:10:30.657: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
lun 21:10 Disabled UPnP support due to errors: Failed to import miniupnpc
          module: No module named miniupnpc. Also: Failed to run upnpc binary:
          Problem while executing command ['upnpc'] (1 of 1)
lun 21:10 Note: Python Bindings for libsexy were not found. To enable spell
          checking, get them from http://www.chipx86.com/wiki/Libsexy or your
          distribution's package manager. Look for sexy-python or python-sexy.

I tried to connect to the telnet server with

telnet server.slsknet.org 2242

But I get this message:

Connected to vps.slsknet.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

What can I do?

Nicotine itself is installable by using commands below:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nicotine

To fix warning about canberra use commands below:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk3-module libcanberra-gtk-module

Upnpc python module came from python-miniupnpc package, to install it use

sudo apt-get install python-miniupnpc

Nicotine package depends depends on python-sexy package which is not available for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This dependency is very outdated, last version was available in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. So you can ignore it without functionality loss.


Fresh idea - Nicotine web-site lists PPA with stable version. You can install fresh Nicotine from it using commands below:

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nicotine-team/stable
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6CEB6050A30E5769
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nicotine

Many thanks N0rbert ...I followed your directions...but now ...when I launch Nicotine Plus a got a message: [Warn] UPnP exception: UPnP does not work on this network [2021-06-29 11:07:47] [Warn] Failed to automate the creation of UPnP Port Mapping rule. And in Nicotine tells: "Server appear down or not responding" In Nicotine I have checked the option "Use UPnP to automatically map the port on my router" ,,,I have also the message "Your IP address has not retrieved from the server...",,,, please help me ... many thanks in advance

Then it really depends on the network characteristics. I'm not sure that UPnP is essential for Nicotine operation.

I have just discovered that https://nicotine-plus.github.io/nicotine-plus/ has a link to PPA with newer Nicotine version. You can try it instead.

Really I'm not sure how it works and how it should work. Maybe you have to check Nicotine's protocol specifics by reading some its docs.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
