Transmission

Let me write a small summary of the current situation of new Transmission release (and missing tools) in Ubuntu PPA (and Debian as it's connected).

Two months ago Debian release team have decided to freeze their testing distribution in order to prepare it for a stable release. What that means is ...

So by default transmission-daemon in Debian and Ubuntu uses a different folder (and a different user) for configuration. Your config should be in the /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/ folder owned by debian-transmission user.

Can you install daemon by using It should make it work again.

Thank you for the report. Where did you get your Transmission from? Can you paste a result of the following commands somewhere: I'm going to test it in Jaunty tonight but it doesn't sound like something we've messed up.. :/
