New Transmission add-on thread
The previous thread was very long time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0 :)
Two things.
Firstly, with my permissioning problem causing Trasnmission to stop every 4-6 hours now, I decided to clean off my install and start afresh. I've since tried to eradicate every last trace of Transmission from my system, stepping through the remove scripts, and to put a new version in place. But everytime I get told "The Transmission Add-on encountered an error during installation".
So does anyone know where this error is logged ? It looks like files have been installed, but I am unable to get the service started up (it just seems to hang in frontview when I try to stop / start / remove it, which leaves me manually going in to kill / delete / remove it).
Also, does anyone else have similar problems installing 2.31, 2.32.b02 or 2.33.b02 ? I have tried all of them, with no success. Equally, is the memory problem still a blocker for 2.3x - e.g. should I be looking at an older version still ? Although 2.11 was the version I got endless permissions denied problems with, so I'd rather not go back to that version either.
I tried installing via SSH, which was detailed here : viewtopic.php?p=312850#p312850 but this seemed to end up with similar problems. When I try and start Transmission whilst I'm SSH'd into the box, I see the following (note that I have changes the default user to "data", although if left as "nobody" the same errors still appear)
Thanks for any advice / input that helps me debug my way out of this - I'm going in at the shell level to get this working once and for all, so pointers towards SSH access only files are just as welcome as frontview interface tips.
