Can not run Transmission-daemon: failed to daemonize

[harry711]

Hello, I can not get transmission-daemon running through CLI after updating.

root@ubuntu:~# transmission-daemon --paused -g /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
failed to daemonize: No such device


"failed to daemonize: No such device" is all I get, and `ps aux | grep transmission' shows no results
I am using version 1.73, on Ubuntu.
Even if I run it with no parms, I get the same error. I can not init.d it either, I get the same error

Just compiled it from the .tar.bz today... have been using the daemon that came with Ubuntu Server (1.51, I think), but I upgraded and now I can not get it running.


Help please

Hmm:

rm /dev/null ; mknod /dev/null c 1 3

It fixed my problem and the daemon ran fine. Thanks jhujhiti to and wfaulk @ IRC
