Pogoplug E02 transmission update

Postby javoxo » Sat Apr 14, 2018 9:02 pm

good morning to all, I hope this is the place to ask for help... I have this device

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033WSDR4/?tag=blogqnologyco-20


As the title says i am trying to update transmission to version 2.93

This server is a popoplug to which you install archilinux / samba and then mount client bittorrent transmission following these tutorials...this device I only use it for the download with the client transmission


https://entechlog.wordpress.com/2014/08 ... m-service/

http://aaronrandall.com/blog/installing ... -pogoplug/

and Package management system

http://aaronrandall.com/blog/customising-your-pogoplug/

I d'not know anything about linux language....i just follow tutorials.

In my search on this topic, i found that I could update following these commands but the truth i prefer to ask before execute the process, because i can put at risk the downloaded information.

commands:

pkill -x transmission-gt
ipkg update
ipkk upgrade

try to do this but the ipkg is already installed and updated and it is not possible to update transmission

try with pacman -Ss torrent, i installed the version transmission-cli but I can not update

what would I have to do to be able to update tranmission to version 2.93, someone could guide me???

forgive my english

thanks

I'm not an expert but I think that I can help since I have Transmission-cli 2.93.1 running on a Pogoplug E02.
You need to run "pacman -Syu" as root to upgrade the os and all packages.
ipkg is not required, on Arch Linux Pacman is the package manager.

I hope this helps.

@bob8889 Thank you very much for your help, I had problems when performing pacman -Syu but with these commands I managed it.

  - pacman -Syu --ignore ca-certificates-utils
- pacman -S --force ca-certificates-utils

then sudo pacman -Syu transmission-cli


I have a doubt and I do not know if it will be possible, as I show in the link installe transmission from another source, when loading this transmission does not take the torrents already downloaded (.torrent), is there any way to migrate this information ?? '

Per your question:
I have a doubt and I do not know if it will be possible, as I show in the link installe transmission from another source, when loading this transmission does not take the torrents already downloaded (.torrent), is there any way to migrate this information ??

So you want transmission to automatically pickup and start downloading .torrent files, is this right?
If so, you need to update the config file, my config is at the following location: (I had to use "su root" to change file, sudo didn't work)
nano /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
at the end of the file add:
"watch-dir": "/path to /.torrent directory",
"watch-dir-enabled": true
be careful about the commas at the end of each line. All must have a comma except the last config line.
Save changes
You will have to restart transmission so that his will be enabled.

For your information, Arch Linux Arm has an excellent set of ArchWikis.
Google search "ArchWiki transmission"

I would also remote ipkg that the OP has installed on an already full OS. ipkg/opkg is for OpenWRT/optware. You don't need it on ALARM. It will probably not work reliably either.

thank you very much for your help, very useful result


As evidenced by my first installation of transmission I did it using OpenWRT / optware and the directory of the .torrent is in "/ transmission-daemon / torrent" the installation made to update to 2.93 to left the directory in ".config / transmission- daemon / torrent ".

When I try cp -r "/ transmission-daemon / torrent" ".config / transmission-daemon / torrent" unfortunately I can not copy files to the destination folder, try giving.

# chmod -R 775 / .config / transmission-daemon / torrent
# chmod -R 777 / .config / transmission-daemon / torrent

but I can not copy so be a file in this address that I am doing wrong?


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'I') would also remote ipkg that the OP has installed on an already full OS. ipkg/opkg is for OpenWRT/optware. You don't need it on ALARM. It will probably not work reliably either.


thank you very much for your help, and clarifications

Hi javoxo,

I noticed that your cp -r "/ transmission-daemon / torrent" ".config / transmission-daemon / torrent" command has spaces before and after slashes, this is incorrrect.
Should be: cp -r "var/lib/transmission/transmission-daemon/torrent" "/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/torrent"

Please make sure that the directories exist.


chmod -R 775 /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/torrent
chmod -R 777 /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/torrent

but I can not copy so be a file in this address that I am doing wrong? See changes above.

This may be easier, here's the instructions that I use to setup transmission:
Install transmission instructions:
sudo pacman -S transmission-cli

Update config file
su root (cannot use sudo to change directories)
cd /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/
if the path is missing folders then create the folders

Edit/create the settings.json file as root
Note: transmission cannot be running or the changes will not be saved properly
systemctl stop transmission
nano /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
- See a copy of my settings.json file at the end of this document
- Change the directories to your directories.
- Note the umask entry is also changed, this is important and will impact the permissions when the file is saved.
"umask": 2,
- Add watchlist entries
"watch-dir": "/mnt/share/Torrents",
"watch-dir-enabled": true
- Save file

Update owner and permissions on all files and directories as root per the following:
cd /var/lib/transmission
make sure the folders are owned by transmission:
chown -R transmission:transmission *
set the file access right:
chmod -R 750 *

Create/update the download, temp and torrent directories
Note: all of my folders are on an unsecured network drive with 777 permissions.
mkdir /mnt/share/Downloads
chmod 777 /mnt/share/Downloads
mkdir /mnt/share/Temp
chmod 777 /mnt/share/Temp
mkdir /mnt/share/Torrent
chmod 777 /mnt/share/Torrent

Start Transmission
sudo systemctl start transmission

Check status
sudo systemctl status transmission

Setup Transmission for auto start
sudo systemctl enable transmission

Use Transmission
open browser to http://ip_of_transmission_server:9091/transmission/web/
change the ip address to the address of the device where transmission is running

OK, everything should work.

Re: Pogoplug E02 transmission update

good day

Currently I have installed 2.94-with CLI transmission.

I have a concern, is there another client with this possibility to access by interface? transmission has problems connecting with other clients such as libtorrent, rutorrent and even utorrent.

I have been searching the wiki and I have noticed the existence of more clients (rutorrent, ktorrent), but their wiki does not contain much information, do you recommend it? What other client can I use? Have a link where you can guide me to install any of them

thanks

I use the web interface most of the time using the browser with the web address: http://ipaddress_of_pogoplug:9091
example: http://192.168.0.120:9091
Or install the Transmission QT client if you are using window. Find it here: https://transmissionbt.com/
- then change the settings to use the transmission server
