Can't start service in Gentoo

[Lagu]

Hi! I used Deluge from a long time, but when I started a new pc with it, has been so hard to init! this seems to happens in Gentoo mainly.

There is two main issues:

- Can't enable the logs from systemd
- Deluge is empty (NotAuthorizedError: Auth level too low: 0 < 5)

Lets start with the first one and systemctl configs:

Code: Select all

systemctl cat deluged
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/deluged.service
[Unit]
Description=Deluge BitTorrent client
Documentation=man:deluged
After=network.target local-fs.target
Wants=local-fs.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged -d -c ${DELUGED_HOME} ${DELUGED_OPTS}

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service.d/00gentoo.conf
[Service]
User=deluge
Group=deluge
#UMask=0002
Environment="DELUGED_HOME=/var/lib/deluge" "DELUGED_OPTS=-p 58846"

Code: Select all

# /etc/conf.d/deluged
# Change this to the user you want to run deluged as.
# You may specify a group too, after a colon

DELUGED_OPTS="-p 58846 -L debug -l /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log"

DELUGE_WEB_HOME="/deluge"
DELUGE_WEB_OPTS="-p 8112 -L debug -l /deluge/deluge-web.log"

In theory, in Gentoo, you should not touch the systemd files, and instead we need to update the ones in /etc/conf.d, but after testing I noticed they are not working, for example the params to enable logs do not works....

If you try to change: /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service.d/00gentoo.conf and add the params like:

Code: Select all

[Service]
User=deluge
Group=deluge
#UMask=0002
Environment="DELUGED_HOME=/var/lib/deluge" "DELUGED_OPTS=-p 58846 -L debug -l /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log"

Then systemd returns a very weird error:

feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: deluged.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

So, how to enable logs to depure the next section faces this issue, any ideas?

We can start this process manually (to have logs), but the web-ui is empty.... it ask the password to access, and then everything is empty, if we try to add a torrent happens nothing.

If we check deluge-web logs we can find:

Code: Select all

09:29:51 [DEBUG   ][deluge.ui.client           :1672] RPCError Message Received!

    raise NotAuthorizedError(auth_level, method_auth_requirement)
deluge.error.NotAuthorizedError: Auth level too low: 0 < 5

NotAuthorizedError: Auth level too low: 0 < 5

I started this from zero, the empty folder and owned by the user deluge, so it start from default, the password to start is deluge, but still I got that types of messages, I'm uploading deluged and deluge-web logs.

There is a password do not match in the deluge-web logs, but no idea which one and why there is no error on the web-ui about it.

I'm using deluge 2.1.1.

Thx!

Hello Lagu,

I would advice you to first start with the basics.

I see for example.

Code: Select all

feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]: usage: deluged [-h] [-V] [-c <config>] [-l <logfile>] [-L <level>]
feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]:                [--logrotate [<max-size>]] [-q] [--profile [<profile-file>]] [-u <ip-addr>]
feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]:                [-p <port>] [-i <ip-addr>] [-o <interface>]
feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]:                [--read-only-config-keys <comma-separated-keys>] [-P <pidfile>] [-d]
feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]:                [-U <user>] [-g <group>]
feb 13 09:55:56 localhost.localdomain deluged[143047]: deluged: error: argument -p/--port: invalid int value: ' 58846 -L debug -l /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log'

Could you open deluged in the background with ( & at the end of the command) not using systemd unit file to start deluged, but just the normal command.

In my case it is for example /usr/bin/deluged -d -L info -l /var/log/deluge/deluged.log

If you have managed to make that work, then we can look if you still have the same problem maybe then syntax within the systemd unit file is incorrect.

If we have managed to fix deluged + deluged throught systemd unit file, then we will be looking at deluge-web.

Hi! I have tested that, I can start deluged successfully, works nice.

The only issue is when I start from systemd using the params above, I checked the format, is I think is correct, is the same file above:
/etc/systemd/system/deluged.service.d/00gentoo.conf

Code: Select all

[Service]
User=deluge
Group=deluge
#UMask=0002
Environment="DELUGED_HOME=/var/lib/deluge" "DELUGED_OPTS=-p 58846 -L debug -l /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log"

No idea why is failing with that error....

[shinger]

Hi Lagu,

Thanks for the reply, then we have to focus on your systemd unit file as deluged works fine.

Could you do a

journalctl -u <name of the systemd unit file>

mine looks like this

journalctl -u deluged.service

I want to see more logs

[shinger]

Btw,

Can you try to change the ExecStart

From this
ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged -d -c ${DELUGED_HOME} ${DELUGED_OPTS}

To this

ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged -d -c /var/lib/deluge -p 58846 -L debug -l /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log

Also make sure you have write permission with the user or group deluge to the directory + file /var/lib/deluge/deluge.log
