Didn't http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/HeadlessUsage help?deckard3001 wrote:Can anyone provide a link to a web UI guide? I've looked at the wiki and googled around with no joy.
Specifically, I would like to have transmission running on my headless desktop and control it from my laptop.
There's nothing special about the Web client, so http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/WebInterface is pretty thin, you just connect to it and see.
BTW, "headless desktop" is a contradiction

Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
Oh nice! I didn't know that article existed... I'll link to it from our wiki.
[edit] ...hm, maybe I won't. That article is out-of-date; you don't need to install Clutch separately anymore... it's built into Transmission now.

Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
I'm looking for a little help in this area too.
I downloaded and compiled the 1.72 source on my Debian Lenny machine, but it won't work! The /home/transmission folder for the user is empty, and trying to start the daemon does nothing:
I followed the HeadlessUsage page to the letter. Accessing the page (in my case, http://172.22.0.204:9091/transmission/web/) gives me a "Page Load Error". Any suggestions would be helpful.

- Starting the daemon... what do you mean exactly by "does nothing"? It doesn't show an [OK] or [FAILED]? The daemon runs in the background, try looking for the process, i.e. 'pgrep -l trans';
- /home/transmission... I assume your init.d script starts the daemon as user 'transmission', then look for all folders under its home, i.e. using 'ls -al' not just 'ls', I think recent versions use $HOME/.config/transmission;
- What browser did you use? Not all are supported, and that "Page Load Error" looks suspicious. If the daemon doesn't respond you get a time out, if you don't have access you get an error, but I've never seen a "Page Load Error".
Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
Sorry about the multiple issues.
When I start it I get no output, like I showed. I compiled from source using default options (disabled gtk though), and used the default script on the headless page, including creating the user "transmission". The command you suggested returns nothing.
There's nothing at all in the home folder for "transmission" except the default stuff:
And, since the daemon isn't running, there's no webui, so my second issue is kinda moot :p

Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
Next step is to run the daemon by hand:
(or something similar, I don't remember the sudo syntax).
Code: Select all
sudo -u transmission "transmission-daemon -f"
Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
Nothing. Running the command as stated gives:
So I tried it just as normal sudo:
Nothing again.
If I su as transmission, still nothing:
Code: Select all
localadmin@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$ sudo -u transmission '/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -f'
sudo: /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -f: command not found
Code: Select all
localadmin@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -f
localadmin@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$
If I su as transmission, still nothing:
Code: Select all
localadmin@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$ su transmission
Password:
transmission@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$ ./transmission-daemon -f
transmission@S01V04-Ophion:/etc/init.d$
Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
I never said run the init.d script, I said run transmission-daemon (if in your system they are named the same, that's unusual).
Re: Remote UI: I don't get it!
Well, for whatever reason it seems my install was corrupted, since "transmission-daemon" as an actual program did not exist! I reextracted the source and recompiled from scratch, and I can start the daemon. Thanks!
