#3776 closed Bug (invalid)

Transmission-daemon crashes after the start of any torrent download

Description

I have transmission-daemon running on my dlink dir825 wireless router running dd-wrt. I got the .ipk from downloads.openwrt.org.

The problem starts when the download starts. Transmission-web stops working and transmission remote dot net can not connect to it neither. 2.04 and 2.11 had the same problem.

I've had nothing but trouble trying to help people to use gdb on DD-WRT. Part of the problem is that I don't have a DD-WRT either, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. :)

Is there a DD-WRT forum that you could use where experienced DD-WRT hackers could help you with getting gdb to return a meaningful backtrace for this crash?

I did a week ago but no one replied. Sorry but what is gdb?

gdb is the GNU Debugger, which could be used to provide a backtrace that will tell us what Transmission was doing when it crashed. This seems to always be the trouble with DD-WRT bug reports. Is there maybe a different crash report tool for DD-WRT?

Well there is a log of messages if they can help

They usually don't... but it doesn't hurt to try :)

I attached the results from syslog on ddwrt from various times. Please analyze them if you have spare time. It would be very very helpful because i think transmission is best bt client out there and the only one thats even close to work for me.

A little more info: Before the crash I can kill transmission with killall but after i have to use kill -9.

Thank you very very much :)

kj17x0, I've looked over the log files and they don't really tell me anything about the crash. I would love to help you more on this but the first step is that you'll need to find a DD-WRT person to help you with DD-WRT tech support. :/

I ran transmission with transmission-daemon --logfile /mnt/btlog --log-debug. I looked at the file and found three errors. 2 about upnp and 1 about readnatpmpresponseorretry failed. There is also another error with dht in the syslog. Dont know if the new log will help. I searched all over the web and found nothing.

Thx

I appreciate this, but the port mapping errors don't have anything to do with the crash. The next step is to find a DD-WRT person to help you with DD-WRT tech support.

I have posted a thread in the ddwrt forum three days ago but no one have replied. Is there a chance that i can solve the problem by compiling transmission from source myself? Can it be a compiler bug?

Thx

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to building Transmission on DD-WRT. Are there no DD-WRT experts available to help?

*sign* I posted a thread in both ddwrt and openwrt forum four days ago but not a single response. I guess i just have to try things out and maybe wait for a new thread or post about the problem? Thx for the help anyways

Any news to report?

not really. still trying to figure out the cause.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

I'm going to close this ticket for now because this doesn't appear to be a Transmission issue. Lots of people are using transmission-daemon on DD-WRT, and if it crashed on every torrent this ticket would have 300 comments from unhappy DD-WRT users.

This is probably an issue with the system you're running, or a build issue with wherever you got your copy of transmission-daemon from. If there's anything that I can do to help you, or if you think this is a transmission-daemon bug, please reopen this ticket with more information. I'd be happy to help if I can.
