Hi,

can't help you with your first question, as I'm stuck myself with the installer not finding "libevent"
in both tarball and SVN. :-/

This beta has to be made from tarball or SVN. No automatic upgrade!

See:
https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building

For editing username and password:

But after stopping your daemon,

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -stop

Edit the file: settings.json
Mine is under: /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json

Once edited, restart daemon:

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -start

I hope to get some more input from other on why libevent is not found.
Ubuntu 10.04

Regards,

Danny

.

rpc-password and rpc-username are the ones to modify.
The password encrypts after starting the daemon again, and becomes garbled.
The values are between double quotes!

Holy Moly !

I did it!

Thanks a bunch!

Just be sure to run it as sudo or su when fiddling to configure and installing libevent. Duh!
Not sure what I did right though, as the first couple of times it failed. Hehe.
But errors about "permission denied" point to it that root access is needed.

But the banner Transmission 2.30b1 (12302)
on the "About" tab looks mighty convincing that I succeeded.
Thanks!

This goes to show that doing some more reading in other places pays.

I was stuck after the SVN update worked in that I couldn't get it to install the newest trunk https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/ .

Here is what I found, that is working for me ...

(This is updating! Look for first installing SVN at this page, under header: Building from an SVN snapshot


https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building

SVN update:

cd Transmission
make clean
svn up
./update-version-h.sh
sudo make
sudo make install

Then restart you client!

Happy beta testing!

Danny

SVN creates its own directory under /home/**your user name here**/Transmission, with its own set of dependencies.

Highest version wins on startup, simply speaking.
I would start the SVN install anew, if I was you.
Are you using "apt-get" to update/upgrade?
What system are you installing on?
Can you make a copy of the error messages and the commands?

I'm a little in the dark here.

Danny
