Duplicated email notifications after upgrade to 1.3.x

Post by godlike »

Hi all,

I've been using Deluge-1.2.x for quite some time. I had email notifications working normally. After I upgraded to 1.3.1 (skipped 1.3.0), I didn't want to delete my deluge home dir to start over, so I fired up 1.3.1 on my server, connected from my PC and configured what needed to be configured. One of those things were email notifications, which I diligently did, from scratch. In the process, I changed the "from" adress to deluge@mydomain.com.

However, now I get TWO email notifications per finished torrent: one from the old from address, and one from the new one. I couldn't find anything in Deluge's home dir (on the client and on the server), grepping the email addresses, that could indicate this behaviour.

Anybody has any ideas about this? I wouldn't want to backup and erase Deluge's home and have to start over :(

Thanks in advance.

GODLiKE.-

this should be in the server configs. have you verified the actual location on the server that deluge stores its config files as this may not be the home directory.

Deluge is run as my regular user on the server, so there's very few places that are writable to the user. I thought the ~/.config/deluge directory for the user that runs the daemon is the location of the settings part. Am I wrong in assuming this? How can I know which is the right place?

BTW, in ~/.config/deluge in the server I found the new setting for email notifications (coming from deluge@mydomain.com), but not the old one.

Sometimes on servers with init scripts the config location can be different either specified or for the default of the user being run as.

Have you restarted the server since you changed the settings?

You can always back up the config dir and test with a clean one to determine where the problem lies.

Yes, I have restarted the server several times since this happened.

I discovered something else: if I have the client open when a download finishes, I get two notifications. If not, I get only one. But if I grep for the email address in question on the client's config directory, the only thing that comes up is one entry on gtkui.conf, the ntf_email_add configuration option. Could this have anything to do with the problem?

I removed the ntf_email_add from the client configuration and the problem seems to be solved now.
