[LINUX] Unable to connect to Upstart

[snakyjake]

I am installing Deluge on Ubuntu Linux using these instructions:
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ce/Upstart

I'm receiving the error when trying to "Starting (and stopping) Upstart Script":

Code: Select all

start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Any hints on how to troubleshoot this error message?

Ubuntu 15.04
Thanks.

Are you doing something special with your client or just trying to get it to run?

If you just want a functioning client go with the built in update manager.
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Inst ... Repository

Basically, you can just use the version that comes with it, or you can add the PPA and get the latest.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deluge

I'm running Ubuntu without the Desktop GUI, so I want to access deluge remotely from a web client.

I'm trying to:
1) Install Deluge as a server/service.
2) Access Deluge remotely from web UI.

It appears there's three ways to install Deluge: systemd, upstart, init.d. See link.

I'm now trying systemd, because I presume I have a "modern" version of Ubuntu.

Were you able to get systemd working? After updating from Ubuntu 14 to 15 I got the same errors trying to run it with upstart. I tried migrating to systemd using the provided guide: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ce/systemd.

However, deluge still will not start.

Code: Select all

:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl start deluged
Failed to start deluged.service: Unit deluged.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

I changed the permissions on the service files just in case but no go. (also did not work if I added them to the deluge user / group)

Code: Select all

:/etc/systemd/system$ ls -l |grep deluge
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root  351 Oct 16 22:22 deluged.service
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root  234 Oct 16 22:18 deluge-web.service

Checked to make sure deluge binaries were still present

Code: Select all

:/usr/bin$ ls -l |grep deluge
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root        292 Apr  5  2015 deluge
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root        302 Apr  5  2015 deluged
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root        300 Apr  5  2015 deluge-gtk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root   root        308 Apr  5  2015 deluge-web

There is no issue with the service file, I think you have made a mistake creating the file, you should delete it and try again. The permissions only need to be 644 for service files. I have tested this on Ubuntu 15.10 and see no issues starting or stopping a deluged systemd service.

Thank you, I checked the service file and didn't see anything different about it but deleting and recreating it worked.
