Entware Transmission stopped working

[kman]

Hi All, after the latest updates to entware packages, Mar 15, 2023, Transmission has stopped loading. I don't see anything in the sys log except the following:

Mar 16 22:58:39 admin: Failed to start transmission-daemon from .

Running it from command line, it also mentions failed.

admin@RT-AX86U-C280:/tmp/mnt/merlin/entware/etc/transmission# /opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission restart
 Starting transmission-daemon...              failed.

Any idea what could have caused this and how to resolve?

Thanks.

Running it directly I see the following:

admin@RT-AX86U-C280:/tmp/mnt/merlin/entware/bin# ./transmission-daemon
./transmission-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Try running the script with the debug flag. It might show some clues as to what the problem is and someone else can help you. I don't use Transmission so I can provide only initial troubleshooting steps.

sh -x /opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission restart

Ah, it looks like the same problems related to the recent Entware packages upgrade.

Entware - "Wrong ELF class" or "Error while loading shared libraries" error

Entware uses lightweight opkg package manager, which is too primitive to track down dependencies change. Let say, some program depends on `libssl.so.1.0` file but it was replaced by `libssl.so.1.1` while running `opkg upgrade`. So, you program will fail to start next time because of...

Right, it appears to be the same issue but according to the suggestion, I need to re-install program.

The solution is to re-install program, which brings you the same version of program, but right relations between dependent files.

I've tried 'opkg install --force-reinstall transmission-daemon' but still error. Any ideas?

FIXED - at least a workaround. Per the other threads, I reinstalled libcurl and that worked.

opkg install --force-reinstall libcurl

Thought process - used 'whatdepends' to determine usage of libopenssl. From there, just reinstalled libcurl

admin@RT-AX86U-C280:/tmp/mnt/merlin/entware/etc/transmission# opkg whatdepends libopenssl
Root set:
  libopenssl
What depends on root set
        pixelserv-tls 2.4-2     depends on libopenssl
        libcurl 7.86.0-1        depends on libopenssl
        transmission-daemon 3.00-19     depends on libcurl
        transmission-web 3.00-19        depends on transmission-daemon

For next time, remember to shut down Transmission prior to updating packages.

EDIT: formatting and added context.

UPDATE: if encryption is enabled in Transmission, it's crashing. See log.

For me the fix was to format my ENTWARE usb flash and install everything from scratch.

@kman - try this https://github.com/transmission/transmission/discussions/2128#discussioncomment-1622048
You'll need to add openssl.conf file in /opt/etc/ssl dir. Make sure you have upgraded libopenssl to 3.0.8-2a
You can also install libopenssl-conf package and edit existing openssl.conf in this case.

 

[gdbjr]

The only thing that has worked for me is to make sure that the Peer Listening port in the Transmission GUI is closed. If I allow it to be open it will crash every time.

can't load the GUI with the aarch64

404: Not Found​

Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!

Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.

Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.

You can use GUI from Entware repo.
No problem - I can upload GUI package, but it is the same. All architectures:

how to install/update it?

Update:

cd /opt/tmp/
wget http://zyxnerd.zyxmon.org/files/transmission-daemon_3.00-19a_aarch64-3.10.ipk
opkg install transmission-daemon_3.00-19a_aarch64-3.10.ipk
/opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission check

 Checking transmission-daemon...              alive.

 

[zyxmon]

how to install/update it?

Just install transmission normally, do not start it and run

opkg install http://zyxnerd.zyxmon.org/files/transmission-daemon_3.00-19a_aarch64-3.10.ipk

Yes you are correct, I didn't know that web was part of different package!.
I tried to download a torrent using your transmission daemon and seems to be working without issues.
Thanks for the links.

Any clues for below warning ?

The previous package version transmission-daemon_3.00-19a works! But there are reports it has memory leaks. Here is another one (based on gentoo patch) -

It's fine, it was as long as I can remember. You may tweak net.core.rmem_max, net.core.wmem_max to avoid this warning. Or just ignore it.

Do we install on top of previous 19a release or shall we uninstall 19a first ?

Can the memory tweak for net.core.rmem_max, net.core.wmem_max cause any memory issue to AX86 router if applied ?
