Deluge Forum

Hi guys,
Been playing around with deluge on a headless server and want to be able to add torrents remotely using transdroid; on a brand new ubuntu server install I am able to do this if I install deluge from source. But on another ubunutu install which has been running for some time now, if I install deluge (after adding the ppa repository) using sudo apt-get deluged and deluge-web then I cannot seem to add torrent files.

They are both running deluge 1.3.6 it seems (at least this is what is given to me when I login to the web ui and check the version via ssh) so I'm not sure what the issue is.... any ideas?

If my only option is to install from source that's fine, but how do I transfer all torrents and torrent status over to a new deluge install? I'd rather not have to manually add everything in again.

Installing from source or ppa should make no difference to Deluge functionality. There is not enough information to give any advice, have you looked at logs, tried adding torrents manually using different UIs etc etc...

Have you also asked checked if there are logs for transdroid, or asked for help from there?

I can add torrents via the webui no problem, what would I be looking for in deluge logs to indicate a failure to add a torrent?

Transdroid is something I'm considering to be a problem as well and I've submitted an error report, googling the issue points to various people blaming each side so not sure where to go in all honesty.

Well you would be logging for an error in the logs, or with debug level compare adding through webui and then through transdroid.

If you link the reports, I can have a quick look to see if any could be Deluge related but no one has reported transdroid issues recently.

Ok so, I did something slightly different.... I realised that part of the issue was that deluge was running as root and therefore was using /.root/.config/deluge/state to save all torrents and so nothing could access this folder except a sudo command or a root terminal.
This was probably due to my own incompetance when installing deluge the first time.

Frustrated, I purged deluge from my system completely and started again. This time with the proper PPA repository and have successfully got Deluge 1.3.6 up and running. So far so good, however now that I've enabled the GTKUI (for playing with plugins) Transdroid won't even see the server. A known issue or is this something I have to go to transdroid about?

EDIT: Never mind, got it working!
