Cannot connect to thin client

Post by der.scott »

I am desperately trying to connect to a thin client created on my localhost.

I enter "localhost" as the hostname, along with a username and password. However, when I try to connect to the newly created thin client, it tells me "Username does not exist", even though the name is already inserted into the username input field (uneditable).

In the file ~/.config/deluge/auth, there is an entry localclient:<hash>:10. But when I add a thin client, nothing changes in that file.

I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong here. Can anybody please help me?

Update:

When I use localclient as username, I always get the message "Password does not match". Even if I enter the has from ~/.config/deluge/auth. I'm really confused now 🤯

Hello scott,

It should be something like this.

Code: Select all

localclient@127.0.0.1:58846
So instead of using localhost, use the 127.0.0.1 as hostname.

If you are still unable to connect, try to create a new user with an unhashed password to test it.
