Thanks for the guide - some great info there.
Saw the 8.04 one too, but ftp got lost? Plenty guides around, just curious.
Anyway, only 1 major query - what to do with deluge auth file? As you've setup a deluge user, do they have an auth file? I can't connect with a remote client, only the web gui (even enabling remote connection in it). Any ideas?
FWIW, mythtv failed also, but that's almost expected. Always database or permission issues.

Hi,

If there is already an auth file in the /var/lib/deluge folder then add an extra line which reads

deluge:deluge

If there is not one already then create one, add the entry above and make deluge the owner.

In terms of mythtv, I can only get it to work by running the mythtv-setup as sudo. Despite my best efforts I've not found a way to run it properly as me. If you have some tips I'd love to hear them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Did have to create the auth file, as was not there. Added deluge:deluge:5 and chown to deluge:deluge but still no remote connection it seems. Any more ideas?

With mythtv, I've had a similar issue before (could not open card) and is usually a permission thing on the adapters. Just tales a while to sort it out. I'm constantly amazed how something like mythtv, around for years, fails to install properly 9/10 times. Mythbuntu can do it. Unbelieveable.
Cheers.

Hi,

Hmm, what you've done SHOULD work.
If you tried a few different guides/permutations to install deluge then it's possible deluge is looking in a different place for the auth file. Search your drive for all folders called "deluge" and add the same auth file to each location. It might even be a hidden folder.
Also look for a .config folder.

What version of deluge have you installed?

Hey, vanilla ubuntu install, so should be no other folders. Think was current/latest (1.2.x). Going to grab a new drive and re-install everything anyway (need mythtv to work, or tvheadend). Let you know how it goes.
I have used the thinclient install from the deluge site no probs for remote usage.

As far as the auth file is concerned, the new location is "/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge"

I've reinstalled my server a couple times since I first found the guide, and at some point the location moved. It should probably be changed in the guide.

I saw you mention that you could only connect with the web gui, and not a remote client. this is a little more complicated.

To set-up the server to accept remote access:

1. install the deluge console, as you most likely only have deluged and deluge-webui:

2. start up the deluge console:

3. configure the daemon to allow remote access.
a. in the console type "connect" it should say "Connected to 127.0.0.1:58846!"
b. type "config -s allow_remote true"
c. confirm that it worked, type "config allow_remote" it should return the value "true"
d. exit the console, type "exit"

4. restart the daemon


after this you should be able to connect with a remote client by pointing it to the ip of your server and using the credentials you put in the auth file.

Hi there thinmintaddict,

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I'll redo my guide. I wrote it at the time the 1.2 Release Candidate for Deluge came out so it's about time I went through it again and updated it.

Where have I seen your username before? I think you hang around on the same forums I do. AVSForum or AVForums perhaps?

Hello Guys

I have been able to successfully get deluge daemon to startup automatically on reboot.
But now i cannot login via Deluge Client on MacOSX using deluge:deluge:10 as login credentials.
And now i am a bit lost. Since i couldnt find anyone post a complete instruction on how to
get deluge to run as a daemon on autostart and have a user be able to remotelly access deluge
or run flexget. My setup works if i just have it installed for a normal user not as a daemon, by
just having the user start deluged on ssh login.
can you guys explain all the steps involved in getting it to work from A - Z ?
i am now lost with the daemon setup have been trying for hours and hours.

Would be great i think also for other confused users who want to have a headless deluge raspberry pi running
with all the bells and whistles (flexget etc).

Thanks in advance.

I don't seem to have the file or path mentioned above in this thread. All I could find was /var/lib/deluged/config. And I cannot get into config as whenever I try to use cd /var/lib/deluged/config I get error message permission denied.
