Hi all,
Weird problem. Riddle me this: I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem I've been having getting Headphones to speak to Deluge. I autostart both the Deluge Daemon and Deluge-Web via systemd on system boot.
As part of this troubleshooting, I removed WebUI from the enabled plugins section of core.conf. When I do this, deluge-web does indeed seem to lose the ability to start the daemon (which I believe is its purpose) - but weirder still, even after a fresh boot (so after the systemd service files should have started for both deluged and deluge-web) when I log into the web interface, my usual download directory has been replaced by one that looks like a system default (home/USER/downloads or similar). All other options look more or less right - I use a non-standard port for the webui for example, and that is preserved.
If I edit the download directory back to the one I want and hit apply, it accepts the change, but stopping and restarting the daemon causes the issue to return. However, if I put webui back into the enabled plugins section of core.conf (i.e. restoring core.conf to how it was before I started meddling) when I restart the daemon my original download directory returns!
This feels to me like something to do with deluge-web starting the daemon with a different core.conf file, but I ran sudo find / -iname core.conf and confirmed there are no other core.conf files on the system.
Both deluged and deluge-web systemd service files are run by the same user.
What the devil is going on?
Thanks!

Re: WebUI plugin weirdness
I don't think it's related to the Web UI. Any edits to core.conf while deluged are running will be lost. Make all changes to core.conf while deluged is stopped.

Hi siddhartha,
Thanks for the reply; yes, I'm always careful to stop the service before editing core.conf - fallen foul of that before!
