persistant systemd exit 2 for webui daemon

[T3chnic0l0r]

Hello Everyone

I have complied/installed deluge on my computer form some time now, and while it briefly worked, it now will not start the webui deamon. any attempt to do so will result in the following errors from systemd.

Code: Select all

deluge-web[34705]: deluge-web: error: unrecognized arguments:
systemd[1]: deluge-web.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT>
systemd[1]: deluge-web.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.]]

this happens regardless of what options are passed to the daemon, blank space is used as an example but so far every option I've tried has failed with the same exit code.

the deluge webui service looks like this, its the one generated automatically by portage on a fresh installation

Code: Select all

[[Service]
User=deluge
Group=deluge
Environment="DELUGE_WEB_HOME=/var/lib/deluge" "DELUGE_WEB_OPTS= "]

as for potential errors, i have ruled out any issues with the config, as deluge has all the relevant files and is configured as Gentoo requires it to be. all config files are owned by the deluge user, and there is no deluge config in the systems home user or in other directory to my knowledge. any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not in the know with gento myself, but that service is wrong - check official deluge docs for proper service: https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... rvice.html

You have extra brackets as first and last char which isn't allowed, and here would have an ExecStart line, unless you have an drop-in override that adds it, in /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service.d/foo.conf. Check service and possible drop-ins through 'systemctl cat deluged'.

so i attempted to use the proper service and wound up with this error rather then the old one

Code: Select all

systemd[1]: deluge-web.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
systemd[1]: deluge-web.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
systemd[1]: deluge-web.service: Service has more than one ExecStart= setting, which is only allowed for Type=oneshot services. Refusing.

this is also an issue i ran into with the main deluge daemon, but i was able to work around it by using parts of the gentoo provided config file.

removing the apparently redundant exec start line leads to this more impenetrable error, ive attached the whole error message rather then just the exit code in case i have missed something

the extra brackets where a formatting error putting it into the editor box, i had a hard time working out how the code tags worked.

I apologize, asking you for info and then bailing, didn't mean to do that, sorry buddy.

I see the issue, you have undefined vars referenced in deluge-web.service. For the way you do it, then add extra few lines under [Service] section of your '/etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service.d/00gentoo.conf' e.g.:

Code: Select all

Environment="DELUGE_WEB_HOME=/var/lib/deluge" "DELUGE_WEB_OPTS=-p 8112"
User=deluge
Group=deluge

(First line is the fix, and second two for not running as root).

Run 'sudo systemctl daemon-reload' after editing, if service still in memory, or just use the 'sudo systemctl edit deluge-web' function if wanted, instead of manual edits, which does itself(reloads config).

Hope helps, if not to late that is, sorry again
