Difficulties in Downloading Files to Hard Drives on Ubuntu 22.04
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2022 7:35 am
[EDIT: read next post, still haven't figured it out but it explains the errors below]
Hi, I have setup deluge as a service on my ubuntu 22.04 box, and everything seems to be set up properly. The problem is that when I try to download something to any of the drives in my /media/ folder, deluge shows an error on torrents (also in the free disk space area) and will not download anything. When I try to download to my main drive (which my OS is on) it doesn't show any errors but for some reason it just won't download and gets stuck at 0% despite seeing many different peers. I am using a vpn but I made sure to open the incoming connections port and deluge doesn't seem to show any issues with it.
I have a hunch that this issue with the /media/ hard drives is because of some sort of permissions issue. When I try to run I get the output desipte running this as a super user. The only other thing I have done with this machine is setup xrdp and samba which is how I am configuring this, and I did have some issues with permissions related to that in the past but I thought that I resolved them.
Is there a command that I can run that will make sure that the deluge user has access to these drives? And if that's not the issue, any ideas on what could fix this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all
sudo chown deluge:deluge /media/username/drive
Code: Select all
chown: changing ownership of '/media/username/drive'" Operation not permitted
