Transmission - segmentation fault

[marco82]

Evey time I wanna see info for some torrent I get the segmentation fault.
The core file is (from /opt/torrent/.transmission folder): http://rapidshare.com/files/69705744/core.6989.html

This is probably bug in transmission lib not providing nonblocking scrape info any more.

I will change this back to libbt.

[marco82]

OK, let us know when u do that, and also how to fix it.

TNX!

When i run transmission-daemon like this:
cd /tmp/harddisk/torrent && transmission-daemon -f -p /opt/var/run/transmission.pid -s /etc/transmission.socket

i get a segmentation fault: (was stable with 1.06)

I would like to go back to version 1.06.
Can someone please attach this for me?

Thanks Oleo,

The 'segment fault' has been resolved!

I`ve just did ipkg update& ipkg upgrade and when I want to start transmission I get this message
"transmissiond: can't load library 'libcurl.so.4'"??

Is there a solution?

[al37919]

ipkg install -force-reinstall curl

[andersos]

The last couple of days I get a compile error when trying to cross-compile Transmission trunk. It builds with no problem natively in Debian. Please help!!

Hi, there

I just need to write down my frustrations so I can get over them.
First of all I would like to shout Transmission 1.34 IS A PIECE OF SHIT!
Now after this is over I would like to write down my problems.
First of I was very happy with Transmission 1.22.
But one day my torrents were downloading really slow. I thought maybe my Internet provider is lowering the priority of my torrents or some other people are sabotaging the torrent uploading by uploading bad chunks.
So I figured out that maybe I should upgrade because the new version will have encryption and better security and so on.
I upgraded and remained with my mouth open not from amazement but from being puzzled.
So I started to try around and play and experiment.
Thanks to this thread:
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=15562&highlight=transmission.cgi
I was able to figure out how it works.
I'll continue with the negatives on the next post.

[Freelancer]

1.
First fucking big problem is that I can not add comment to the torrent. Oh this is real fucking big problem because I am a member of many closed torrent portals and by adding comment to the torrents I was able to see who belongs to who and I was able to keep manageable my stuff.
2.
Second big fucking problem is that transmission 1.22 put the torrents in separate directory's.
For example it put them in a directory of the name of the torrent file.
Now this shit puts them in a directory unleashed mode.
This is bad because the old way I was able to manage the files much better.
3.
Third fucking big problem is that of putting the files into one directory the files will be open to abuse.
I do not know what would happen if you have two torrents with one readme.txt in the root.
Please somebody explain this to me.
4.
It takes to me quite long time to upgrade because of the directory problems.
5.
I can not see the syslog, log. (Log button missing)
6.
I can not get info about the torrent regarding what type
of files contains. (Info button missing)
7.
About button also missing.
8.
There is no fucking Fetch option.
9.
During download does not shows to how many pears I am uploading.
Does not show the ratio in this stage.

In the next post I will write down some tips on how to make a smother upgrade.

[Freelancer]

This is a quite helpful post regarding how to configure and start the new transmission.
http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=108659&postcount=39
this post is good on how to write the rc.unslung correctly:
http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=60931&postcount=2

Now here are some other tips.
Watch out for the download and the configuration directory's.
If you decide to start with a new config than do not have this layout:
"/tmp/hardisk/torrent" -here are going the torrents this is download directory.
"/tmp/hardisk/torrent/.config" this is the config dir.
This is bad and pay attention. :-)
Somebody can create a torrent like this:
".config/torrents/infinitecycle.torrent"

The old 1.22 Transmission had the following default configuration.
Well he went for the:
"/tmp/harddisk/torrent" directory as a default.
From here he had the following standard layout:
/.config - for the config.
/source - here you putted your torrents for upload, this was a legacy of the old transmission.
/target - here were the fully downloaded torrents. This was the seeding place. :-)
/work - here were the currently active torrents.
The /.config had the following layout:
/blocklist
/resume
/torrents
Here were the torrent files that he worked.
There was no separation between downloaded or working. only working and resume.
The torrent files were also present in the /target and /work directory's. here was the structure of let's say /target (/work was the same.)
/Name of the torrent file directory/
/Name of the torrent file directory/.info
/Name of the torrent file directory/.status
/Name of the torrent file directory/Name of the torrent file.torrent.seeding
/Name of the torrent file directory/* The torrent data *

This type of directory was more of legacy from the prehistoryk transmission.
The torrent files were present in many places.
First:
.config/resume
.config/torrents
target/Name of the torrent file directory/
work/Name of the torrent file directory/
and they all had different endings.
.resume
.suspended
.seeding
or simply torrent.

Next post the new directory structure of new transmission.

[Freelancer]

Well the new transmission has two main directory's:
configuration and download.
configuration by default is around:
/tmp/local/root/ ...
This is on the flash so leave it alone and start it as Shouriken said it.
In the configuration directory you will have the same structure as at Transmission 1.22
But in the download directory you will have the torrents unleasd so no special directory's for them or info files or whatever.
This is I think is bad, and what pisses me on that if they correct this in the future I will have to do a lot of work to upgrade and transfer my seeds.

Now I have a lot of upgrading to do so I'll stop.

[Freelancer]

I just realized why the fuck I was not able to reinstall transmission 1.22.
It is because I installed bash and that fucked the ipkg.
Now I did all the conversions to my config files. I have the old ones backuped, but I am not going to revert. So I'll stay with this shit. Man I am pissed!

Hi, there

Here I am a couple of days later to continue the monologue.
But hey maybe it will help somebody. :-)


1.
First fucking big problem is that I can not add comment to the torrent. Oh this is real fucking big problem because I am a member of many closed torrent portals and by adding comment to the torrents I was able to see who belongs to who and I was able to keep manageable my stuff.

Well I installed on my PC the Windows Remote UI.
From here:
http://users.aber.ac.uk/anf6/projects/transmission/
And that UI shows the trackers and I can sort them there.
Visually I can keep track of them by the tracker.
How ever there is no possibility of the comment which is still bad.
An other thing, for me the Windows Remote UI did not worked and for this I needed to download the source and to correct it and recompile it.
I rewrote the following function:


private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Program.form != null)
{
if (Program.form.NotifyIcon.Visible && FormWindowState.Minimized == this.WindowState)
{
this.Hide();
}
}
}

Well yeah this was a pain + the recheck.



5.
I can not see the syslog, log. (Log button missing)

Still looking for a solution.



6.
I can not get info about the torrent regarding what type
of files contains. (Info button missing)

This was solved by the Windows Remote UI.
You can see the details here.



7.
About button also missing.
8.
There is no fucking Fetch option.

Still a problem.




9.
During download does not shows to how many pears I am uploading.
Does not show the ratio in this stage.

Well on the Clutch you can see it in the Info panel.
Windows Remote UI also shows it.

And there is a 10 problem:
I can not limit the number of torrents only the upload/download speed.

[oleo]

If u are dissapointed wint new interface, please open a ticket describing each trouble at http://trac.transmissionbt.com/report

Meanwhile you can use old transmission now called transmissiond as separate package, that can work along new interface.

[calebz]

Hello

I use Openwrt with transmission. Im so lazy I didnt even make a startup script because it works stable for me.

I didnt even read what you wrote right after the part where you say its a piece of shit and multiple F words.

Really man go f yourself. Its a free peace of software and yes its not perfect but remember some ppl waste time making/trying it work and get your whining as credit.

If you dont like it flash it back to ASUS firmware and kiss Download Master for me.

[andersos]

I still can't build Transmission :( The natpmp was updated today so I thought I'd give it a try. It still builds ok natively on Debian. Could it be that a newer version of the toolchain is needed?

Tranmission 1.22 Built by checking out a older version of unslung, using the latest toolchain but old unslung scripts to build.

Currently not tested yet. I am about to test it soon.

Hi,

I have tried to compile the newest transmission client (1.40) from source. The 'configure' command wants to find the file 'openssl.pc' which does not exists in the firmware. I thought that this was fixed in transmission 1.40 because I saw the closed tickets for this. I have both the openssl and openssl-dev packages installed.

If anyone has an idea what am i missing, please let me know.

[admin@wlgp transmission-1.40]$ ./configure -q && make -s
appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `openssl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'openssl' found
configure: error: Cannot locate ssl

For me openssl-devel package not works too.
I compiled it from sources and now it works.

[gstadler]

Did you mean the openssl-dev package works or compiling transmission 1.40 works as well for you?

[Lesiuk]

Compile it: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8i.tar.gz
After that compile transmission.

[Lesiuk]

hi,

newest transmission from repository is not working for me.


[admin@LesiukNET root]$ transmission-daemon
transmission-daemon: can't resolve symbol '__libc_pthread_init'

Somebody know how to fix it?
Transmission 1.40 works OK.

edit: also __libc_* refers to a fullblown libc, not uClibc (afaik)
is that package wrong compiled?

best regards

you probably need to do:

ipkg install libpthread

at least... that's what it's asking for I believe

Hi folks,

After I`ve upgraded from 1.34 and pointed browser to my router with transimission installed, I get only "401: Unauthorized - Unauthorized IP Address" .

I changed nothing in configuration, and only thing that I found about this, is some problem with "auth.backend.htdigest.userfile" file instead "auth.backend.plain.userfile" . I did not find these files on my hdd :(

I`m newbie in linux world, so if you have any hint how to resolve this, or is there somebody who has same problem... :)

BTW : Have somebody older version of transmission (1.3x) ? Because this one worked, and after update I cannot find old version.

Thank you...

Hi all,

after upgrading transmission to 1.41b4-1 I had to change the URL to be able to access the GUI again.
I remotely connect to router via SSH.

Before I connected to GUI by http://192.168.1.1:9091
(192.168.1.1 is the local IP of the router itself)

now I connect to http://localhost:9091 and the GUI is there.

As you see I'm not a guru, but it's easy to just try it :-)

Maybe it helps for you.

Thank you, this works with default configuration, but still doesn`t work with additional settings like customed port, user authentication, ip restrictions....

But thanks for hint :)
Seem to new Transmission doesn`t recognise older configuration. :confused:

Seem to new Transmission doesn`t recognise older configuration. :confused:

[BalMagnuM]

Hi Everyone,

first of all, thanks to oleg, wengi and oleo for the great job!

I just wanted to share, how I got rid of the issue - still partially.
I tryed to follow through wengi's instructions, part 10. transmission, but still got the error, until I figured, you need to explicitly enable the client's IP address from which you want to connect to your box.

From settings.json:
"rpc-whitelist": "your.clients.IP.address",

I've tried to add in a new line, other IP's or hostnames, but the result was the same 401 error message.

Now, this is wonderful, if you only connect to your box from 1 client, but presume some of us would like to see the box from ANYWHERE...

What makes me :confused: is why's there no info on how to put together a config file?

Cheers,
B

[BalMagnuM]

Hi,

finally back to normal after upgrading to 1.41b4-1 from 1.41b3-something.

Error:
- 401 error message in browser when connecting to the server

Root cause:
- config file may have been ignored or insufficient data in the config file. client's IP address is not added in the rpc-whitelist tag

Solution:
As a basis, I'm using wengi's well written instructions (http://www.wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=10307) with minor changes to personalise settings of transmission (http://www.wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=60933&postcount=4).
Follow the post on transmission through, as we are just going to alter it to use the config file.
You need to set up server starting to take into account only the config file.

vi /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon
Change the following line from

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config -b -w /tmp/harddisk/transmission/download
to

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
Once that is done, you need only to alter the settings file. If you need to test your settings, you can use the server start|stop options or preferably the command line start and the server stop.

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon start
/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon stop

or

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon stop

To create your settings file, please read the official site about editing the config file (http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles).

Editing the options file, do

vi /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/settings.json

Example:
don't use a blocklist, setup upload and download limiters, protect the transmission site with a us3r : pazWd5 access, where the server can be accessed from anywhere ("rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*")

{
"blocklist-enabled": 0,
"download-dir": "\/tmp\/harddisk\/transmission\/download\/",
"download-limit": 200,
"download-limit-enabled": 1,
"encryption": 1,
"max-peers-global": 200,
"peer-port": 51413,
"pex-enabled": 1,
"port-forwarding-enabled": 0,
"rpc-access-control-list": "+127.0.0.1",
"rpc-authentication-required": 1,
"rpc-password": "us3r",
"rpc-port": 9091,
"rpc-username": "pazWd5",
"rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
"upload-limit": 50,
"upload-limit-enabled": 1
}


Cheers,
B

[wengi]

Hi BalMagnuM,

i wondered why my transmission does not accept my settings.json.
Maybe this is because of the other startup options.

Let me test your solution and update the HowTo.

Thank you

Hi! Reinstalled all my software from scratch after formatting hdd. Problems with trasmission: it doesn't create the file "settings.json" and thus doesn't save any settings via web-interface. It only creates 4 dirs: config dir with empty dirs blocklits, resume, torrents. Also it doesn't accept hand-made settings.json. Transmission v 1.42-1

[avberk]

put this after the first line:

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$(PATH)

[Kenny]

working! Thank you very much

i just added -a *.*.*.* (this means allow all ip)

here:

nano /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon (you can use vi instead)
like this:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -a *.*.*.* -g /tmp/harddisk/[yourtorrentfolder]

then

ok --debug gives nothing, segfaults also without message.
