unRaidMe

Use the package that's attached to the first post. Also try with rpc-whitelist-enabled set to false.

Can you verify whether I am understanding the umask variable correctly? It seems that the umask variable in the Transmission unMenu script is in decimal which is then converted into octal (18 decimal = 22 octal = default umask setting). This is equal to 000010010 binary, which is the inverse of 111101101, or 755 octal, which are the permission that the directories are set to. However, the files have permissions 110100100 or 644... how do I change this? ...Or are files not supposed to have the x permission activated, which would explain it? If what I'm guessing above is correct then, to set permissions to 770, do I set umask to 7? Also, does it matter that the owner is root vs nobody? Thanks!

One obvious thing is to delete all the extra "/boot/unmenu/uu" lines. You only need it once so you can delete the block of 4 lines.

I am having permission issues where each directory and file downloaded with Transmission are owned by root and have 755 (for directories) and 644 (for files) permissions so I have to manually chown each download. Is there a way to modify the Transmission unMenu files so that Transmission runs as nobody instead of as root? I think this would solve the problem? Thanks!

Sorry if I stepped on any toes... I'm just trying to navigate through this all and learn about these things... I never really knew about usenet until recently... seems it is a big can of... something or other. I still would appreciate others' input, though.

I think you pretty much answered your own question here...that's probably why 99% of the people subscribe to a news provider. Thanks for clarifying... I thought I was missing something else... My question now, then, is why not just subscribe to Netflix for $7.99 a month and watch video content without the legal issues?

I believe it does work with 4.7 Yes You are right, Sick Beard is for TV shows and CouchPotato is for movies.

From what I've read, it doesn't seem like people use usenet for BBS, chatting, or online discussions anymore... What I'm trying to understand is what else, besides convenience of downloading TV shows and movies, you guys are using (and subscribing to) usenet for.

I'm just testing out the whole usenet thing and have been wondering what else usenet is used for besides downloading TV shows with Sick Beard and movies with CouchPotato. What other programs or applications use usenet? Thanks!

Is there a solution for this file permissions issue with unRaid 5b6a? I've installed SABnzbd, Sick Beard, and CouchPotato through the unMenu package manager and I seem to have to change permissions after each download through telnet in order to access it in my network share folders. Thanks!

I think I got it installed: Verifying package transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubbaQ.tgz. Installing package transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubbaQ.tgz: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: WARNING: Package has not been created with 'makepkg' Executing install script for transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubbaQ.tgz. Package transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubbaQ.tgz installed. Starting Transmission deamon When doing the clearing steps, you also have to remove the other transmission* files in usr/bin/ not just transmission-daemon. There is a line that checks for /usr/bin/transmissioncli and because it wasn't cleared, it wasn't unpacking the stuff in the tgz file...

Will replacing all /boot/custom/transmission with "${vINSTALL_LOCATION}" do the trick? Also, what do I do in the case when quotes are already surrounding the command, i.e.: echo "/boot/custom/transmission/transctl stop" >> /etc/rc.d/unraid.d/rc.unraid_transmission I want to ask in case I'm doing something unwise. Thanks

Just snooping around and found the file: transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubba.tgz.manual_install Looks like there are a lot of things writing to the /boot/custom/transmission/ directory... is there some way to make the script use the vINSTALL_LOCATION variable instead?

I followed the steps of: /boot/custom/transmission/transctl kill find /boot/custom/ -name "transmission*" -exec rm -rf {} \; find /boot/packages/ -name "transmission*" -exec rm -rf {} \; rm /usr/bin/transmission-daemon I downloaded the conf file attached to the first post and copied it to the packages folder. I changed the variables to install to disk2 instead of the flash as well as changing other configuration variables. Clicked to download Transmission and then to Install Transmission. However, I get some errors: transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubba.tgz installation: /boot/packages/transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubba.tgz.manual_install: line 170: /boot/custom/transmission/transctl: No such file or directory sed: can't read /boot/custom/transmission/transctl: No such file or directory sed: can't read /boot/custom/transmission/transctl: No such file or directory /boot/packages/transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubba.tgz.manual_install: line 196: /boot/custom/transmission/transctl: No such file or directory transmission-unraid-0.0.2-i386-bubba.tgz apparently did not install properly, /usr/bin/transmission-daemon does not exist. Looks like it's trying to do something in the default install directory???

Sorry to hijack your thread, I've started a new thread at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12643.0

I used the unMenu packages from another thread and it seems to have installed fine though I haven't used the programs yet since I don't have a usenet account (yet).

My initial impression was that this stuff is for media centers and that it just automates the search for torrents, initiating the download, etc... I guess people are using it for other purposes beside video content, either that, or else they watch a LOT of TV and movies....

Really, I have no idea... I don't know what I'd do with 40 hard drives except have redundant backups of my backups... or give them away to friends

Out of curiosity, what kind of stuff are you downloading that requires full speed downloads 24/7? Mainly, I just keep track of a few TV shows that my wife and I like and then download them (torrents) when new episodes come out about every week. I'm wondering what everyone else uses usenet for to get some ideas. Thanks!

Thanks, Jeff and Neil! I'm trying to set up SABnzbd and can't find a working usenet server in step 3 of the wizard... All this SABnzbd, Sickbeard, and CouchPotato stuff is new to me and I'm just trying to find out what it's all about... is it worth all the trouble compared to torrents?

I've been trying to see what all the hubbub is about with regards to SABnzbd, Sick Beard, and Couch Potato... so I got the unMenu packages installed and am now going through the Quick Start Wizard at tower:8082/ ... sorry if I sound really unknowledgeable, but I am... what do I put in for the Server Details in Step 3? Thanks for your help! This is all new to me...

Also, what port is recommended to run SABnzbd?

Looks like chuchusoft is up now!

I'll wait until your script is finished... hopefully, chuchusoft will be back up by then

I also added echo "Downloaded filename" between each wget as a sort of progress indicator. Also, renamed all ".custom" to "_custom" based on christuf's comment since it sounded like it would improve compatibility with some things...
