October 8, 201213 yr Author I have installed transmission. I have enabled reinstall on reboot. However whenever I reboot my unraid transmission fails to start. I go to the user scripts and click start transmission. However I get this error "The rc.unraid_transmission script does not exist, please try reinstalling the application". I tried "/etc/rc.d/unraid.d/rc.unraid_transmission start" from the console. But I get the message "No such file or directory". The only way I can solve the problem is to uninstall the transmission and reinstall it again. However it breaks again once I reboot unraid. Any ideas. Thanks. You gave me none of the information I asked for in my first post, so helping is near impossible. Answer the questions in the first post! And don't be running unRAID 4.7
October 8, 201213 yr So sorry for that I am running unraid version: 5.0-rc8a Here is the output of the code you said to run on your first post. root@Tower:~# ls -al /var/run/transmission cat /var/run/transmission/transmission-daemon.pid total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody users 0 2012-10-08 14:41 ./ drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 0 2012-10-08 14:41 ../ -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 5 2012-10-08 14:41 transmission-daemon.pid root@Tower:~# cat /var/run/transmission/transmission-daemon.pid 11145root@Tower:~# ls -al INSTALL_LOCATION_OF_TRANSMISSION /bin/ls: cannot access INSTALL_LOCATION_OF_TRANSMISSION: No such file or directory root@Tower:~# ps -ef | grep trans nobody 11145 1 0 14:41 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -g /mnt/cache/apps/.transmission/conf --pid-file /var/run/transmission/transmission-daemon.pid root 13081 13055 0 15:11 pts/0 00:00:00 grep trans root@Tower:~# cat PACKAGE_DIRECTORY/transmission_unraid-2.33-i486-11kh.txz.auto_install > /boot/transmission_autoinstall.txt ls -al PACKAGE_DIRECTORY > /boot/package_directory.txtcat: PACKAGE_DIRECTORY/transmission_unraid-2.33-i486-11kh.txz.auto_install: No such file or directory root@Tower:~# ls -al PACKAGE_DIRECTORY > /boot/package_directory.txt Many thanks for your help in getting me to solve this problem.
October 8, 201213 yr Author You need to replace the capital letter words in those commands with the correct locations.

October 8, 201213 yr Author ok, the new commands look like they ran. The last two should have created .txt files on the flash drive named "transmission_autoinstall.txt", and "package_directory.txt" Please attach those to your next post.
October 8, 201213 yr Here are the attached files. Many thanks. transmission_autoinstall.txt package_directory.txt
October 8, 201213 yr Author Here are the attached files. Many thanks. OK, thanks for those. They look normal. 1 more question and one request: 1) Is your array set to Auto Start on reboot? 2) run cp /var/log/syslog > /boot/syslog.txt then attach the syslog.txt file on your flash drive to your next post.
October 8, 201213 yr Author 1) No That answer right there explains it. The Array MUST be started for the install to happen and the application to start. If i did not do that then the transmission app would create the directories it could not find and would cause problems when unRAID goes to mount its disk to where it is expecting. 2) See attached file The above explains why Transmission is not "installing/starting" on reboot. I will look at the syslog in a little while but i am 99% sure of what i will find. Set the array to Auto Start and you should be fine.
October 8, 201213 yr Thanks for your help. When I go to stop the array, I get Stop SMB...Spinning up all drives...Sync filesystems...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)...Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)... This keeps repeating.... I am guessing this is tranmission at fault here, as I am seeding one torrent. I went into http://tower:8080/sys_info?option=Open+Files and its showing from /usr/bin/lsof /dev/md* I can no longer telenet into the server and the web interface no longer works. If I type in fuser -k /mnt/disk1 into the unraid server with the keyboard and screen connected will that allow it to shut down?
October 9, 201213 yr Author You have to reboot the server via the power button at this point. You also need to use the Stop Transmission button on the "User Scripts" page before shutting down the array.
October 9, 201213 yr Thanks, everything now seems to be working fine Shutting down the transmission service first allows me to power down the server without issues. I have just one question regarding having to stop the transmission service when I want to shut down the server. I have bought a UPS, http://www.ebuyer.com/238120-apc-back-ups-pro-900-ups-ac-230-v-540-watt-900-va-br900gi I will be using the apcupsd plugin so when I get a power cut it shuts down the server. I take it there is a config file for APCUPSD that I can add the commands to stop the transmission service first, so the system can shut down successfully? Also I am very concerned about hard drive I/O performance. I have two 3tb hard drives. I have created a share called torrents which uses both disks. I intented to seed 500 torrents, however I also have Plex Media Server installed and will be streaming videos to 3 clients at once. What I am wondering is if say 30 of my 500 torrents are actively seeding and I am streaming 3 seperate video files to 3 clients at once, will the heads on my hard drives be able to cope with so much random read access? Or will my videos stutter because the heads are having to move much too fast.
October 10, 201213 yr Author There is a "Power down" package in unMenu. Install that first and then the apcupsd package. The powerdown package will make sure that any apps accessing the array are shut down before apcupsd kicks in.
October 24, 201213 yr I reinstalled everything and upgraded to version 5.0 rc8a but now I'm not be able to install transmission again. It says that it needs libidn-1.19-i486-1.txz but I can't find it neither on the flash drive nor on the slackware repository. Am I doing something wrong?
October 24, 201213 yr Author I reinstalled everything and upgraded to version 5.0 rc8a but now I'm not be able to install transmission again. It says that it needs libidn-1.19-i486-1.txz but I can't find it neither on the flash drive nor on the slackware repository. Am I doing something wrong? Did you grab the libidn .conf file from the other thread i mention in my first post?
October 28, 201213 yr Hey there, is there any "easier" way to get unMenu back up and running? I installed "unMenu" 18 month ago on an unRaid 4.7 system and now updated the system to unraid OS 5-rc8a. It may seems to be easy for you to make a transmission, if you have followed the topic for a couple of RC releases.. but when this topic /first post hits you unexpected, its really hard to get along with it. The work and effort youve done I can only imagine. So please dont take this personally unMenu rocks and I would love to get it back up and running. Can you somehow put it down to a step by step guide? "download this" "move this to your flash" "execute this script"? Or am I illusional by thinking it could be so easy? Anyway, Regards!
October 29, 201213 yr Author Hey there, is there any "easier" way to get unMenu back up and running? I am a little confused. This is a thread for the Transmission unMenu package, not unMenu itself. I installed "unMenu" 18 month ago on an unRaid 4.7 system and now updated the system to unraid OS 5-rc8a. It may seems to be easy for you to make a transmission, if you have followed the topic for a couple of RC releases.. but when this topic /first post hits you unexpected, its really hard to get along with it. if you are on 5.0rc8a then you do not have to worry about the warning in the first post. That warning was added once the issue was figured out. I and the other people who worked on the package had no idea it was creating issues. Once we did i put the message up and modified the unMenu package. The work and effort youve done I can only imagine. So please dont take this personally unMenu rocks and I would love to get it back up and running. unMenu and the Transmission package should work just fine if you are running any of the 5.0 stuff. Can you somehow put it down to a step by step guide? "download this" "move this to your flash" "execute this script"? Or am I illusional by thinking it could be so easy? You basically have it in your last line above. download the .conf and the associated .conf files, place them in the packages folder, delete any old transmission related files in the packages folder, then go into unMenu and start the install of the transmission. For good measure some stop the reinstall of the old transmission on reboot, then restart there unRAID machine, then do the steps I outlined above.
November 7, 201213 yr Hi there prostuff, Thanks for this great plugin - it works well and I use it all the time. Any plans to update the version of Transmission it installs? They are up to v2.73 now, which includes some nice improvements to the web gui. Cheers, ctrlbreak
November 9, 201213 yr Anyone any idea with RSS feeds will be implemented with transmission? The developers say it will never be implemented. Most Transmission users who want RSS capability use Flexget. prostuff has a flexget package available.
November 11, 201213 yr I have just installed transmission and I am getting the following error. "Installed, but version is different. Current version='/usr/lib/libidn.so.11:' expected '2.42'" This means that when I reboot unraid I have to manually install transmission again. Anyone any ideas?
November 11, 201213 yr Author See the first post for a list of things that I will need to help figure out the issue.
