ClearFoundation

Hi addicted ClearOS members ,

I did a reinstall of my server last week. I had broken power supply and grabbed the change to do some hardware tweaks.

Now i want to reinstall transmission from Tim's repo and now i have a little issue. There is a missing dependency. Its complainig for libevent-2.0.so.5. This is needed for transmission-cli, daemon and common.

Hi Marcel, it appears that I forgot to move it over, it's in the testing repo

Thanks Tim!

Hello Tim,

Just joined the forum, been using the 5.2 for ½ a year++ , very nice and smoth running.

Yesterday did a major yum upgrade and transmission stopped...

Having read the posts I understand the problem....

I seem to have yet a dependency prob, the nfs_utils need libevent-1.4.13-1.i386.rpm
and transmission needs libevent - 2.0.10-2.clearos.i686

At the moment I choose to let the nfs services run.

Is there an easy way around this

The first was, I installed transmission use it the way the how to documentation. It work fine. But then there is an error, because there is insufficient space on my harddisk to accommodate the downloaded file, then the transmission crashes.

I delete it using the command
# yum remove transmission transmission-daemon

Then I install again
# yum install transmission

Successfully installed, but I can not change the transmission admin password . Although I use the command
# transmission-password mypaswd

Once i open the browser, there is no demand to fill in username and password. I can not access via the transmission client that I installed on my MS Windows too.

How can I reinstall this program correctly?I happen to spot this last night when I did a test install

You will need to edit the config password file

nano /usr/bin/transmission-password

Find the line that reads
CONFIG="" (replace what ever is between the brackets with var/lib/transmission/settings.json)
eg: CONFIG=" var/lib/transmission/settings.json"

Save the file
then run

transmission-password password goes here

service transmission-daemon start

then in a browser ipofccbox:9091

I have not read this whole thread so someone may of already answered this

If you update to Tim's latest rpm (2.22.2) the bug (restriction would be kinder) in transmission-password should have been fixed and it should use the user transmission's home path rather than a hard-coded path which may not be correct for anyone who created the user before installing the ClearOS rpm (e.g. anyone who used the old installation method).

I am not to worried I was only testing out the a replacement for torrentfluxb4rt

Also something to note it looks like someone has forked torrentfluxb4rt to become torrentflux-ng should be interesting

So opinions TFb4rt vs transmission....thoughts

any word on how to get past this error as stated above?

Error: Missing Dependency: libevent-1.4.so.2 is needed by package nfs-utils

Yep, I also have this problem. SOGo from Tim Burgess testing repo needs 1.4.13, while Transmission from Tim's main repo needs 2.0.10.

I installed transmission from the base-extras repo, and I think I uninstalled it unproperly.

So, now when I'm trying with timb-testing repo it doesn't work:



I cannot find any transmission-files anywhere.
What to do?
