2.93 Will not start Transmission on Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 LTS

Post by Amarog »

Hi everybody,

I know, first post, a question from the start... But yeah, I've got a problem with transmission on Ubuntu headless Server 16.04.4 LTS.
I installed Transmission via this 'tutorial': http://ubuntu-for-humans.blogspot.be/20 ... buntu.html

This worked with no problems up until version 2.84. But today I updated my server and everything went to hell for transmission. The 2.93 would not start. So I started googling and came across some solutions.

https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comme ... on_daemon/

This does make my transmission work again, but for only 2 minutes or so... After that it just stops working again... And i'm getting the fault code again

Code: Select all

Mar 11 18:12:58 Server systemd[1]: Starting Transmission BitTorrent Daemon...
Mar 11 18:13:00 Server transmission-daemon[1690]: [2018-03-11 18:13:00.343] UDP Failed to set receive buffer: requested 4194304, got 425984 (tr-udp.c:84)
Mar 11 18:13:00 Server transmission-daemon[1690]: [2018-03-11 18:13:00.343] UDP Failed to set send buffer: requested 1048576, got 425984 (tr-udp.c:95)
Mar 11 18:14:28 Server systemd[1]: transmission-daemon.service: Start operation timed out. Terminating.
Mar 11 18:14:29 Server systemd[1]: Failed to start Transmission BitTorrent Daemon.
Mar 11 18:14:29 Server systemd[1]: transmission-daemon.service: Unit entered failed state.
Mar 11 18:14:29 Server systemd[1]: transmission-daemon.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
user:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon restart
[....] Restarting transmission-daemon (via systemctl): transmission-daemon.serviceJob for transmission-daemon.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status transmission-daemon.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
 failed!
 
The strange thing, when it's trying to restart it does work for like 30sec... After that it fails again and I can't connect anymore...
I'm seeing a lot of people with those problems... But Can't seem to find a solution...

Can I get some help over here?
Be ware, my Linux experience is not that great... So if you need some info from me please explain what I need to do to give you what you want...

Thanks in advance!!
