Re: [Solved]Transmission doesn't start to tray

Well there is another way around.
You can use "transmission-cli" and start it as daemon, after that you can use your favorite browser to http://localhost:9091/ and use it that way. This way you also save some dependensies.

As for autostart, did you try "(sleep 5 && tranmission-gtk --minimized) &"

If you start tranmission-daemon like this:

transmission-daemon -g /home/<your_username>/.config/transmission

it will inherit your current settings, including any current downloads.

EDIT: It seems the bug you're encountering has been fixed for version 2.5 ([extra] version is 2.42).

Re: [Solved]Transmission doesn't start to tray

It is not recommended to run transmission in daemon mode with a normal user. I suggest you manually start the gtk version and in the options set to minimize tray.
