Deluge: ‘PreferencesManager’ object has no attribute ‘do_config_set_func’

Deluge is a torrent client. Some days ago I updated it to latest version (1.3.12) on my ArchLinux and the Scheduler plugin was not working as it should.

I found the following error in the log

AttributeError: 'PreferencesManager' object has no attribute 'do_config_set_func'

In the forum title Scheduler locked in slow mode, the reply stated

Yes sorry I make a mistake in 1.3.12 when fixing another issue. Here is the fix applied for next release: http://git.deluge-torrent.org/deluge/commit/?h=1.3-stable&id=cdf301601fe71bd697f3796cf0a5656d437d140e

The workarounds (before next release) are

1. to build deluge from source code
2. to update the core.py file

I took the second method

1. First find the plugin folder (you could look in error output mine is under /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deluge/plugins/)

2. Open the plugin file Scheduler-0.2-py2.7.egg with Archive Manager (or similar utility)

3. Edit /scheduler/core.py file

4. Find the following code (around line 130)

   component.get("PreferencesManager").do_config_set_func(setting, core_config[setting])
   

5. Replace it with (make sure you didn’t add or delete space or tab)

   core_config.apply_set_functions(setting)
   

6. Close and answer yes to update the archive.

7. Start (or) restart deluge
