Transmission: Unable to Save Resume File

[denial86]

Dear all,

I have installed Transmission using these instructions as a guide: http://robcaw.com/blog/turn-your-raspbe ... ox-part-2/ on a Raspbian installation (already did update & upgrade).

However, I have a problem. I seemingly have no problem downloading with the exception that the download stops every now and then with the following message: "error: Unable to save resume file: permission denied". However, when I simply resume the download it continues until the next time it stops. This way I can finish my downloads, but it is far from 'automation' I am looking for. Does anyone has any idea what causes this and how I can mend the situation?

I haven't tried it myself, but my guess is that your resume directory is owned by another user - perhaps 'root'. This may be because the first time it was run it was run using sudo.

Code: Select all

cd ~/.config/transmission

Code: Select all

ls -l 

- should show a 'resume' directory - which needs to be owned by pi

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 <datetime> resume

if it's not then

Code: Select all

sudo chown pi:pi resume

I have written a tutorial which may help explain how Linux permissions work: Linux file acces permissions tutorial

Error: Unable to save resume file: Permission denied

Late to the party but I want to share how I got rid of this error:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/resume
