problem with transmission 1.60 and web interface UPDATE

[cico]

two days ago the first official version of transmission 1.6 was released and even though a bug with some unicode characters is still there (since 1.4 ) I could not resist to upgrade my cs407 from 1.34 after taken a look at the new webinterface with the osx version on my imac.

now we have "file selection/prioritization" and the chance to "verify local data" from the context menu; for me these are great upgrades to the webinterface that I don't want to miss!

but after upgrading and restarting the daemon I got this

Code: Select all

syno> transmission-daemon -f
[20:05:30.427] Couldn't create socket: Address family not supported by protocol
[20:05:30.445] System does not seem to support IPv6. Not listening onan IPv6 address

[20:05:39.530] Starting: Starting



and then, but first AFTER calling the webinterface

Code: Select all

[20:36:13.948] Searching for web interface file "/root/.local/share/transmission/web/javascript/transmission.js"
[20:36:13.974] Searching for web interface file "/opt/share/transmission/web/javascript/transmission.js"



that's all, the crucial line
"Serving the web interface files from "/opt/share/transmission/web"
is missing and my browser shows me a "404"

(of course all files are where they should be)


the daemon itself is running fine, all my active torrents from 1.34 started again instantly after upgrading, so in my humble understanding it seems to be an issue with transmission's webserver. and what about the first two lines after starting the daemon concerning ipv6, could that be the reason?

any help would be much appreciated!

...

btw, I'm a macuser with very, very little linux experience and I'm not able to build tm from source by myself (at least I haven't found a "step-by-step advice for dummies" so far ) so I depend on the optware feed. it's absolute fantastic to see how fast an ipk appears on the feed, mostly just hours after the new version has been released!

so I'd really like to thank bzhou and/or anybody else who currently is maintaining transmission for their continuous effort, thank you very much!

Upstream fixed the problem in subversion with the help of some optware transmission users.
I just upgraded optware transmission to 1.60+r8349 to get the fix, please upgrade.
For detail, see http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2030

[cico]

yes, a user in the transmission forum already pointed me to that ticket and was afraid I would have to wait for 1.61...

so thank you very much for in this case ugrading the feed with a non release version!!

[cico]

fortunately the "404 problem" has been solved, but with 1.61 (more precisely since r8368) we have a new bug, reported by several users in the transmission forum.

the according ticket has been closed in the meantime so we hopefully will see a current nightly on optware feed soon...

[bzhou]

Updated transmission to 1.61+r8420

I'm afraid that won't be a place for me at all...
I've no idea of programming, the only thing I can do is report some "end user experience" and that's not what your link is about, is it?

I really wish I could contribute some more, but I'm "only" a macuser and my first and exclusive linux experience is from running transmission on my Synology box. But after the latest issues I decided to install a linux (ubuntu/xubuntu??) via virtualbox on my imac and try to cross-compile by myself, just to be able to test and then report about current nightlies.

I've no idea if I will ever be able to do that, but I'm willing to try and spend some nights with "googling" about it (maybe you can point me to a "step-by-step advice for dummies" ?)

Anyway, as always, thank you very much for your effort on optware!

Were did you guys get the 1.61 version? I do ipkg list | greep transmission, and the only version available is 1.51

Opss..i needed a ipkg update

[cico]

yes, you always should do an

Code: Select all

ipkg update

before

Code: Select all

ipkg upgrade

to get the the latest versions of your installed optware

anyway, the current transmission version on the feeds is 1.61+r8420 which has fixed two bugs concerning using the daemon with clutch introduced with 1.60/1.61, but it is crashing a lot on my CS407 as I reported here

I hope you will install and try that version for a few days and report if you see the same problem on your box...

[jrosado]

Yes, i did installed it. So far, no problem at all. I'm running about 40 torrents (seeding) a pushing one. I will keep informed.

Love the feature that allows to select the files. Finally
