Failed to start Transmission Daemon after upgrade to 2.93 #537
Comments
Hi, after fixing this the daemon started, But it exits after a minute or two with the following error of time out:
The issue is present on PPA and when building from source I am on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. Hope this helps to point to the right direction. |
Oh Thanks! Thank you!! |
Hi, By removing the PPA you installed an earlier version from Ubuntu repositories version 2.84 if I remember correctly |
Yes, it is the version 2.84

If I switch to the transmission user and run /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon --log-error this is more pin point in order to debug. |
Does the service continue to run or does it stop after a minute or two? Is there any negative to removing the foreground flag from the systemd startup script? |
With the original service file with -f it run for a minute or two and than stops. Without the -f in the service file it does not even start. |

Please stop being stubborn, If you had read my posts you would have seen that I said this issue happens also when I am building from source. I will check the solution above on my source build and report back. EDIT to sum things up, on Ubuntu when building from source and using systemd you must install libsystemd-dev. this is missing from the transmission wiki documentation and probably why the PPA packages failed. Now the issue can be closed, Thank you for your time. |
Just as Create a file
Then reload systemd config with And finally start the service again with After that transmission 2.93 works perfectly. Original source at Ubuntu Forums |
@MarcosBL you have two empty options, this wont work.

Just tried a mix of @MarcosBL fix and @satter 's correction as follows:
Gave me a running instance of Transmission 👍 |
After I upgraded my transmission in Ubuntu 16.04 to 2.93
I get the next error when the daemon try to start.
I tried to remove the package, purge, and reinstall again, but the problem persists.
