Thanks for the bug report. If this happens to enough Ubuntu users it might be worth doing a small 1.51 bugfix release.

In any case, I suspect the workaround is to delete the file /home/lovetz/.config/transmission/settings.json

Please try that out and post a forum reply letting me know how it goes.

I get same crash on FreeBSD, so I just removed ~/.conf/transmission. It works again now.

mezz: what version of Transmission did you upgrade from?

From 1.42 to 1.50. I haven't touch any SVN version in between of 1.42 to 1.50 since I got a new job.
