[OFFICIAL] sabnzbd

[crimsonredmk]

After seeing way too many sabnzbd topics, I've decided to just make an official topic just for it. Please post here instead of everywhere else.

Please make sure to make a swapfile or swap partition of at least 1GB to use sabnzbd, as it eats a lot of memory when busy, and a lot of other (seemingly random) errors will be fixed. Search the forum for "swapfile".

I tried and failed a few times to do this and in the end, it seems it was down to the wrong version of python and openssl.

After a fresh install of Arch Linux ARM install I did these steps:

Code: Select all

pacman -U http://myplugbox.com/myrepo/arm/extra/python-2.6.5-3-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -Sy cherrypy
pacman -Sy python-cheetah
pacman -U http://myplugbox.com/myrepo/arm/extra/pyopenssl-0.10-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -Sy unrar unzip
pacman -Sy sabnzbd


Then edited the .ini file and added sabnzd to the demon list in rc.conf

After the February update http://plugboxlinux.org/index.php5/PlugApps_February_Update, my sabnzbd failed to connect to my news server. Investigation showed "ssl not installed', even though pyopenssl was installed, and it was running smoothly right before the 30 minute update.

Since I was running 0.5.6 http://Arch Linux ARM.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=651 , i thought I would scrap it all, remove all dependencies, and try to use the 0.5.4 instructions (posted above), but still had the same issues.

I then tried to just look at

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy sabnzbd

but was greeted with:

error: 'sabnzbd': could not find or read package

I am using nzbget for now, but wondered if anyone else was having similar issues?

Did you have openssl installed?

[robotron1971]

Did you have openssl installed?

Yes, sorry should have been more clear.

"SSl not installed' is the message that sabnzbd likes to give if pyopenssl (or python2-pyopenssl) isn't installed. the old package that WAS in the repository (before teh last update) would give that message as well, which is why the older version had to be used (see the manual install instructions above)

My suspicion is that there was an update to either the python package, or the pyopenssl package in the February update...and now there is a mismatch.

[pepedog]

Try this
pacman -Sf python-pip
Then try this
pip install pyopenssl

BTW, I have never run any nz program, but run my own news servers. The are stand alone and not connected to main usenet.

Of course. And you share legal Linux ISO's. (just kidding, but I don't think anyone cares, for the record).

I had the same issue when upgrading, turns out the pacman mirrorlist didn't have the AUR repo added, although I only found out by installing from scratch.

But my instructions aren't valid any more with the update, if you have the AUR repo added, you just have to run pacman -Sy sabnzbd and it will install all dependencies and you should be up and running.
