= Transmission-Daemon Notes for Arch Linux based Distributions = If you are using an [http://www.archlinux.org/ Arch] based distribution, the notes on this page override the default transmission-daemon values stated [wiki:HeadlessUsage/General elsewhere on this site]. == Default Locations == || '''Item''' || '''Location''' || || Daemon init script || {{{/etc/rc.d/transmissiond}}} || || Options, Configuration, daemon enable || {{{/etc/conf.d/transmissiond}}} || || settings.json || {{{~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json }}} || == Configuration Variables == The file /etc/conf.d/transmissiond should be edited to reflect the desired transmission-daemon user (your regular user is fine) and to uncomment the relevant lines. Note that by default the -g option is used in TRANS_ARGS to tell transmission-daemon to use its own settings.json. You may wish to point -g instead to your perhaps-already-installed transmission-gtk config dir, i.e., ~/.config/transmission . Stop the daemon before editing, and start it again to effect changes. {{{ # TRANSMISSION_HOME=/home/foo # TRANS_USER="foo" # TRANS_ARGS="-g $TRANSMISSION_HOME/.config/transmission-daemon" }}} Refer to the Arch Linux [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf rc.conf ] page for definitive system configuration file information, particularly the Daemons section. The daemon can be started either by adding "transmissiond" to the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf, or can be started manually with: {{{ # rc.d start transmissiond }}} == Arch Linux packages == The following packages exist in the Arch Extra repository: || '''Package''' || '''Description''' || || transmission-cli || Installs CLI tools, daemon and the [wiki:WebInterface web interface] used by the other transmission packages || || transmission-gtk || Installs [wiki:man/transmission-gtk GTK+ gui] || || transmission-qt || Installs [wiki:man/transmission-qt QT gui] ||
