Flush is a torrent client similar to Deluge or Qbittorrent, is the lightest, and I have used it along Qbittorrent without any problem for some time.

But after reinstalling the OS I used only Qbittorent for a while; now when I want to try Flush again I have a problem: after I install it, execute it, and see some action of the processor (i see that light flashing a few secs like when a program starts), but then nothing happens.

At first view, this looks similar to a problem reported in connection with FoxitReader, that I also encountered and solved according to the answer. It would have been similar, except that in the case of FoxitReader the program was absent in usr/bin, and putting it there manually after extracting it from deb solved the problem. In the case of Flush, it is already in usr/bin. I see it in Synaptic, in launcher, in menu, in run(alt-f2) and usr/bin: nothing works.

(In the case of FoxitReader, the program appeared in menu, launcher, and synaptic, but not in run and not in usr/bin.)

I have installed Flush from Synaptic (currently 0.9.12) and have also tried the deb version 0.9.10 with identical results.

(I'm in Lubuntu 12.04).

(The same happens when I try Frostwire.)

Edit after comment: after running flush in Terminal I get:

~$ flush

That seems to be a compiling/linking bug with flush: that undefined symbol is provided by libtorrent-rasterbar6, which seems to be installed.

So you can try to reinstall libtorrent-rasterbar6 and see if you get anything different:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libtorrent-rasterbar6

Also, there is a PPA that seems to be maintained by the creator of Flush, and so it should be safe for you to try it:

sudo apt-get remove flush libtorrent-rasterbar6
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:konishchevdmitry/flush 
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flush

Hope this helps.
