Deluged can't start all of a sudden

Post by lazycat »

Hello. I've been running deluged on a headless Ubuntu 18.04 server for a good long while now. All of a sudden it fails to start up due to a reported problem that the port is already in use.
The thing is, I haven't updated anything on the machine and as far as I know, it didn't apply any updates automatically. When I check using netstat, there's nothing using the port and when I check using ps, there's no other deluged process.
Below is a snippet from the log using

Code: Select all

journalctl -u deluged.service
. You can see that it suddenly starts happening on 10th September. All other services seem to be running fine. No problems with disc space etc.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
