Need help with Raspberry Pi install

Post by TSCTH »

Been trying for ~4 hours (3 clean installs) to properly set up Deluge on my new Pi (2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian), as a headless server.
And please note that I'm new to Linux, so this might be some newbie oversight of mine.

The problem is that when i connect to the WebUI, i can't install or activate any plugins.

First try i logged in as "pi" and did the standard

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install deluged deluge-web
without any problems.
Then ran through http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ipt/Ubuntu copying every step and setting DELUGED_USER as "pi".
Then:

Code: Select all

sudo reboot
When that failed as i logged in from my main computer, i tried adding this small tweak from http://wiki.raspberrytorte.com/index.ph ... ent_Server:

Code: Select all

sudo chown root:root /etc/default/deluge-daemon
sudo chmod 644 /etc/default/deluge-daemon

sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon
When that failed, i uninstalled, removed all files related to the deluge installation and repeated all the step logged in as "root" and with DELUGED_USER as "root".
No dice.

And finally i tried installing all available Deluge packages and repeating everything (even going as far as using nano to write the files). Once again, nothing.

Please help. I have no idea what to do and i really don't want to use a sub-par Torrent client when i can get Deluge.
And Upstart still messes up Raspbian (makes it impossible to boot into), so i can't use anything related to that.

What version of deluge are you installing?

Not all plugins are available for the webui and we generally recommend setting up gtk thinclient so you can enable and config those plugins.

I'm trying to install Deluge 1.3.3-2+nmu1.

And i have to point out that the plugin Label works perfect.
