Transmission Remote GUI not working unless transmission-daemon is reloaded

Post by Arkeen »

Hello !

I am currently using transmission-daemon (2.84-0.2) on a Raspberry Pi 2B+ (Raspbian Jessie Pixel), with Transmission Remote GUI on a Windows computer. Transmission is launched at startup, through a script launching "sudo service transmsission-daemon start". Except from that, configuration is the same as the one detailed [here].
Thing is, in this case, at boot, transmission-daemon seems to be running according to :

Code: Select all

$ sudo service transmission-daemon status -l
● transmission-daemon.service - Transmission BitTorrent Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since dim 2017-02-12 17:07:55 CET; 3min 40s ago
 Main PID: 450 (transmission-da)
   Status: "Uploading 33.26 KBps, Downloading 0.88 KBps."
   CGroup: /system.slice/transmission-daemon.service
           └─450 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error --logfile /home/pi/Desktop/transmission-daemon.log

fév 12 17:07:52 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Starting Transmission BitTorrent Daemon...
fév 12 17:07:55 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started Transmission BitTorrent Daemon.
But the remote connection is refused, from the client :

And from the web interface :

BUT, what is really strange, is that when I reload transmission-daemon from my RPI, everything runs perfectly smoothly. So I guess this mean my settings.json is OK, but then, where does the problem comes from ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide !

I just came here to ask about the same problem.

I'm using Debian Jessie and transmission-daemon 2.84 (14307). I haven't modified anything except the settings file, so I am using the stock service file to start the daemon.

After a reboot I have to manually restart transmission-daemon in order to access it.

Well, my .service file is already just like the one on your github link.
In order to get the 2.92, is [this] the correct way to do this (for debian systems) ? I have checked several solutions, but most seems outdated ...
