[solved]intall transmissiond OK, but it do not work.

[vic]

Hi all A.L.Arm community.
Here I am posting again, still noob and still unable to sort out myself where is my problem.
I have a Pogo-P24 with the root-fs as from ArchLinuxARM-2012.12-oxnas.tar.gz (latest), updated by pacman-syu. Installed a couple of tools such htop and sudo and changed the device name, but except this neglectable changes it IS virtually a "vanilla" pogo arch.

The problem (I believe) is located in the triangle: transmission - rc.d - systemd.

I installed transmission-cli. Followed the wiki instructions to set up a "torrent" user to run the daemon. At first I tried in /etc/conf.d/transmissiond but it did not work. All I can say is that:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@sufferance ~]# rc.d start transmissiond
:: Starting Transmission Daemon [DONE]
[root@sufferance ~]# rc.d stop transmissiond
:: Stopping Transmission Daemon [FAIL]
')
and no transmission process spawn in the processes list (I mean: after the start command, and this make it obvious why stop fails).

So i tried the systemd version of the wiki instructions.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
systemd-tmpfiles --create transmission.conf
')
goes on quietly.
But then both:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@sufferance ~]# systemctl stop transmission
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
')
and
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@sufferance ~]# systemctl start transmission
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
')
fails.

Systemd is already installed
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@sufferance ~]# pacman -Q systemd
systemd 196-2
')
so I thought all should be fine with it but
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@sufferance ~]# cat /proc/1/comm
cat: /proc/1/comm: No such file or directory
')

I also tried to re-install sustemd, but nothing changed.

So, if someone could kindly show me where should I direct my attention in this mess...

Many thanks to everyone for the time spent reading my long post!!

systemd provides udev. Oxnas based devices are still using sysvinit, DO NOT ATTEMPT to make the change to systemd-init at this time.

Did you look in /var/log/messages for transmission related messages that might tell you what is going on?

[slycat]

could it be the problem that udev caused before?

the fix I still use
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'MAKEDEV tty
rm /dev/random && mknod -m 666 /dev/random c 1 8
rm /dev/urandom && mknod -m 666 /dev/urandom c 1 9
rm /dev/null && mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3
rm /dev/mem && mknod -m 640 /dev/mem c 1 1
rm /dev/full && mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 1 7
rm /dev/kmem && mknod -m 640 /dev/kmem c 1 2
rm /dev/kmsg && mknod -m 660 /dev/kmsg c 1 11
rm /dev/port && mknod -m 640 /dev/port c 1 4')
then start transmissiond

Or, who owns /var/lib/transmission
Did you edit /etc/conf./transmissiond and set TRANS_USER=
Test if permissions by making root, otherwise the user needs to own /var/lib/transmission

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('karog', 'D')id you look in /var/log/messages for transmission related messages that might tell you what is going on?

If all else fails you could look at /etc/rc.d/transmissiond (the rc.d startup script) and execute the commands one by one and see what's happening.

Another approach to the /dev/urandom et al problem is
Create /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/50-mode-dev-null-full-zero-random-urandom.rules containing the following lines:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# mem
SUBSYSTEM=="mem", KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666"
')

Had the same problem and managed to resolve it with your help. Transmission starts and it works, but I have a permission problem. Whenever I add a new torrent, the status of it is this: "Error: Permission denied (/media/Entertainment/name_of_file.avi)". I tried to run Transmission as root and torrent, in both cases this is the output. ls -lah says that Entertainment (and everything in it) is owned by root:users. I tried setting the permissions to torrent (chown -R torrent:users Entertainment) but the permissions are still set for root:users. Am I doing something wrong here? Entertainment is a USB NTFS drive.
