Web UI Problems

Post by milks »

ello


firstly I should say I am completely new to linux. I've installed transmission on my NAS running some obscure build of linux. Actually I updated to the latest release from version 1.3x (which I never got round to using)

I can access the web UI once but this causes the process to fall over, running in the foreground I get this output:

<on# /opt/bin/transmission-daemon -a 81.137.187.74 -f

Segmentation fault

seeminly a segmentation problem which to me suggests something went wrong when I updated. Suggestions? Uninstall and reinstall (I have no idea how on linux)?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Its a well known problem with NASes, libevent doesn't quite work, so you have to set an environment variable before starting transmission:

Code: Select all

EVENT_NOEPOLL=1; export EVENT_NOEPOLL
I added the above to my startup script.
