I followed these steps:
svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages
svn update transmission
cd transmission/trunk
makepkg
This builds 2.77 versions, what am I doing wrong?
]]>which is fixed in transmission 2.80. I built from svn (14074) - seems to be working fine so far.
]]>I have those issues too. It appeared after a system update (though transmission was not updated). After the same update, I noticed another problem: when I try to import qfx files in GnuCash, the descriptions of the transactions are all blank. I have no idea if it is related...
]]>- Some settings (amount of slots, speed limits) are lost / set back to default on restart of transmission-gtk
- The "safe to location" keeps changing back to "none" or sometimes to weird values like "~/user/user/" or "~/[combination of random invalid uniocode charaters]" or even random word that (to a non-programmer like me ) look like they could only come from random string/memory regions of transmission itsself: "~/alt-speed-enabled/"
If it's not working I can recommend transmission-remote-gtk-git from AUR which can be used on 127.0.0.1 as well. But that of course, requires the deamon.
]]>So, I ran it with strace--that is,
strace transmission-cli whatever
It turned out that it was looking to ~/.config/transmission/settings.json (am I the only one who reads that as Jason, or is it just because I used to work with a developer by that name?).
I don't know if that will help with your gui issue--but if you have a ~/.config/transmission/directory, it might be worth a shot. (Not sure how strace would work with the gui either, but it might show you where your transmission client is looking for config options).
