Problems using web interface
Problems using web interface
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up transmission-daemon on Ubuntu and use the web interface, but I'm not having much luck. It brings up the web interface but I can't do anything with it - it pops up the window to add a torrent but then doesn't add it when I click "import". I also can't change the preferences, when I try to save them I get an error in the Firefox error console: tr.remote.savePrefs is not a function.
I'm using 1.51 on an Ubuntu Jaunty server and Firefox 3.5.3 on a Mac. Is there anything obvious I should look for to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Colin

Change to a recent version for starters.Lemming wrote:Is there anything obvious I should look for to troubleshoot this?
One improvement you'll get is the log output, so you can see what error is happening when your added torrent doesn't start... probably permission problems, or configuration problems (find your settings.json and see if the values look sane).
Re: Problems using web interface
Thanks for the reply - that version is the one that comes with Jaunty by default. I couldn't find any obvious way to upgrade this, so I added the apt source manually:
I also added the appropriate key. I then removed my existing install:
However I now can't reinstall due to a package conflict:
So it looks like the cli and daemon packages for 2.04 have dependencies on 1.51. Is that right? Unfortunately if I understand correctly that's the part I need to upgrade since that's where Clutch is.
Thanks for any and all help.

I don't use Ubuntu so I don't really know how to fix that mess, perhaps the package changed name, I would start by listing what is available... actually why don't you just try to install the daemon, it should resolve dependencies by itself and install what is needed (or is dpkg the one that does that?).
Wrong, there is no Clutch in modern versions, the daemon does what Clutch used to do.Lemming wrote:Unfortunately if I understand correctly that's the part I need to upgrade since that's where Clutch is.

Re: Problems using web interface
Did you remember to fetch the new package lists with apt-get update? I just checked the transmissionbt ppa package and the dependency for transmission-common is correct.Lemming wrote:Thanks for the reply - that version is the one that comes with Jaunty by default.

Re: Problems using web interface
Thanks for all the replies. I did use apt-get update:
I removed the old version using apt-get remove --purge, but I still get:
Could this be an architecture problem? I'm doing all this on an ARM-based SheevaPlug - could it be that the versions are bad or that only certain versions exist on ARM?

Re: Problems using web interface
Your hunch is correct, the ppa only has packages for amd64, i386, and lpia.
Re: Problems using web interface
Ok, thanks for all the help, I'll look into building from source.
