Transmission 1.8x downgrade

morda4u 08 Feb 2010 18:08

Hey,

does anyone have Tranmission 1.7x to share? Ideally transmission_1.76-1_arm.ipk. Would be great if any of you could upload it somewhere and share the link.
I want to downgrade from v1.83 as it's been acting weird recently. Sometimes it won't start downloads or after couple of hours it stops seeding. I tried to find 1.7x ipk on the interwebz, but no luck..

Cheers,
m

Hi all,
I'd love this also. Although 1.83 is working fine for me (for the record I haven't noticed any issues with stopping seeding etc), the bug with not being able to limit downloads to 0kb/s is a deal breaker for me. Its not the download data that is annoying (1kps is slow enough), its the fact that it keeps the disks spinning during the day which is annoying me! Funny enough this bug has been fixed, but they don't deem it high enough priority to warrant a patch release so will only come in the next (possibly 1.9) release.

I think from now on I'm going to keep a copy of the ipk each time I update, as its not the first time I've upgraded just to run into issues.

Thanks newbar for the package! However, I'm unable to run it once installed. I did:

sudo ipkg -force-downgrade install transmission_176-1_arm.ipk
sudo ldconfig
sudo transmission-daemon

and I get: unable to execute /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: No such file or directory.
I checked /opt/bin and the file is there:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  360080 Jan  6 10:46 transmission-daemon

Help pls!

These unresolved symbols seem to be due to version mismatches, but I can't be bothered just now adding in all the individual sym links with the correct names to see if i1.76 will run with the newer libraries.

Maybe in a couple days I'll find time to try again unless someone comes up with a decent solution to the problem…

I added those missing symlinks and it doesn't work (hope I did it correctly). Same error: unable to execute /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: No such file or directory. I'm guessing for missing symlinks the error would be something like: unable to load xxx. It must be something else, then. Crap…

Linux wont give you an "unable to load xxx" message. Can you post the output of "ldd /opt/lib/transmission-daemon"

I gave up on this the other day and went back to 1.83. A simple "ipkg upgrade transmission" didn't work, instead I had to remove the package ("ipkg remove transmission" - I think - it might have been "ipkg delete transmission"), and then install 1.83 from scratch.

I'm not familiar enough with optware and how it works to say why those links are updated for some things and not for others…

ldd gave me the same "not found" errors you had. I added symlinks to those missing libraries, ldd didn't report any issues, but transmission wouldn't run anyway.

It is possible that 1.83 was built against libraries that have changed since the 1.7x series of Transmission and that is why things aren't working. I'm at a bit of a loss for this one. Maybe I should read up a bit more on optware, and the cross platform compilation that is done for the bluering feed. (in all my spare time! :) )

1.91 has just been released so hopefully that will fix up the problems we are having. (I know it has the fix for honoring download speeds on 0 in there and a bunch of other fixes). It isn't in the optware feed just yet though, so we may have to be patient for a couple days yet.

1.91 is in the optware feed now. Hopefully that will solve some of the problems you were having.
