Mageia forum

Hello.

I'm using transmission GUI 5.18 for a long time, and I never found an equivalent product.
But since the mageia upgrade, I don't understand but it doesn't work anymore.

I get the following error message :

Code: Select all

[pmithrandir@localhost transgui]$ ./transgui

The application seems to open, but I get no icon on the system tray, neither a window to open.
I have to kill it using system activity "end process"

Do you have any clues or leads to suggest ? I have no idea as where to start.

If no idea, I accept also suggestion on tools equivalent (list torrent, setup connection, browse remote location, update list of IP not usable...)

Did you compile transgui yourself, and if not what did you download in particular ?
FWIW there are quite a few issues with other recent distros, see
https://github.com/transmission-remote- ... ssues/1371
https://github.com/transmission-remote- ... ssues/1241
https://github.com/transmission-remote- ... ssues/1310
https://github.com/transmission-remote- ... ssues/1293

You should try to build it yourself if you want to make it work.

As an alternative, you could try e.g. https://github.com/transmission-remote- ... remote-gtk

FWIW, if you want to compile it yourself, this is how I did it after installing lazarus (compiler):

Code: Select all

lazbuild --lazarusdir=/usr/lib64/lazarus --pcp=. -B transgui.lpi
make

Then transgui runs fine, the normal 5.18 x86_64 release did not work, as you described already.

Thank you for your detailed answer.

I checked, and in order to compile it, I need to download 1.5GB of dependencies... (lazarus comes with lot of expectation...) I'll try to see if there is an alternative. If not, I'll do it this week end.

If you mention whether you need this for i586 or x86_66, I'll see if I can upload the compiled binary somewhere.

Hi,

My distribution is mageia 8 x86_64.

That would be lovely.

Thank you !

Best regards,
Pierre

It's easier if I do it as RPM, otherwise some files might be missing:

Hi,

It's starts now.

But as soon as I try to connect to the server, it gives me an error about duplicate status.

Looks like this software is not stable any more, nor maintained so much...

Whatever, I'm really impressed by your dedication. I love mageia for years, and the path was not always easy. But I have always saw you here helping people and I must say that this dedication is quite overwhelming from my point of view.

Thank you for all that.

Applied the patch from the linked github issue, and it connects just fine here, try this:

It works just fine.

Thank you again !!!

You're welcome. Please don't forget to mark the thread as solved.
