[OFFICIAL] sabnzbd

Did you run updates first?
Be careful and follow this

Edit: fixed that problem by actually reading ygators post

I can only get sabnzbd running by using the:

python2 /opt/sabnzbd/python2 SABnzbd.py

Is this fine? Seeing as '/usr/bin/python-config' points to python3 in its first line in nano. Could it be changed to point to python2 or would that break stuff?

I need to add it as a daemon, but having trouble getting it to work.

Also I'm stuck on actually mounting a usb hard drive and specifying sabnzbd to use that as a download directory.

I do enjoy working things out for myself, but I do feel totally out of my depth as a total linux novice.

They have fixed everything now, though I have not tested from a clean install, but nothing really special to do.
First make sure everything is up to date with

Code: Select all

pacman -Syyu

and then you simply do a

Code: Select all

pacman -S sabnzbd

To start and stop you do

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start
/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd stop

You can also add it to the daemon list at the end of /etc/rc.conf to have it auto start at boot.

Once you have setup sabnzbd you will need to edit /etc/conf.d/sabnzbd and set your api key.
You will also want to set the IP up as well. This is used when doing an /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd stop.

When you setup sabnzbd to put the files to your mounted drive instead of the default you want to make sure it is mounted before starting sabnzbd or else it will reset back to defaults. Also sabnzbd defaults and runs under the sabnzbd user. If you keep it this way you will want to mount the drive with sabnzbd as the owner of the drive. If you don't do this then you will need to have it run under root by changing the user in /etc/conf.d/sabnzbd.

Thanks ygator, I'll try a clean install and start from scratch not got anything to lose really

Is there a total novice guide to Arch Linux ARM? I do ok at scraping together info from the wiki and forum posts, but the majority of information assumes you know what is being talked about. For example mounting a hard drive, proper way to shutdown etc.

Many of those things are not about Arch Linux ARM but arch distro or even more so about linux in general so you can find them out easily yourself using google or even manual command (i.e. "man shutdown" in terminal).

sabnzbd defaults to running on 8080 which from you netstat it is.
However, it is only listening on the loopback device 127.0.0.1.
You need to change SABNZBD_IP in /etc/conf.d/sabnzbd to that of the IP address of your pogo plug.

sorry for the late reply, but someone in IRC helped me get up and running. Indeed the problem was that I needed to edit the /etc/conf.d/sabnzbd file.

and once sabnzbd was running I had trouble changing some settings and it turned out that the script in /etc/rc.d/sabnzbd was buggy or something and gave me problems when starting it with that, so I ended up replacing it with a script found here.

Well, after a fresh install, everything seems to work just fine, but stepping through the wizard, it crashes on page 5:

any other suggestions?

Did you
pacman -Sf iana-etc libnl e2fsprogs
As perhttp://Arch Linux ARM.com/index.php5/PlugApps_February_Update

[robotron1971]

Did you
pacman -Sf iana-etc libnl e2fsprogs

Hmmn. Didn't see that in the instructions.....and now when i try :

failed retrieving file 'libnl-1.1-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz' from Arch Linux ARM.com : Not Found

sigh. Once i get this working again, I think i just need to tar it all up for safe keeping, and never ever upgrade my Arch Linux ARM install again...it is a broken package dependency nightmare ever time......

I appreaciate the help though!

[pepedog]

Can you
pacman -Syu
If that don't work
pacman -Uf http://Arch Linux ARM.com/arm/core/libnl-1.1-3-arm.pkg.tar.xz

A manual download seems to fix it. Thanks for your help, as always.
