Someone else had the same problem, but I didn't see a solution in the thread.

EDIT: If it helps, installing libidn.so.11 fixed a problem with version 1.22, so I do have that one now.
It looks like a GLIB problem. If the older puppies use a version of GLIB that is older than the version that Transmission was compiled with then this sort of thing happens.

I could post a copy of the updated GLIB I use, but this might break other things on peoples systems. It shouldn't, but it might. Updating GLIB often requires updating GTK and PANGO as well. This wasn't an issue for me, but it does mean that any further compiles that are attempted on an GLIB updated machine may not work on a clean install/Live CD.

The latest build of Transmission doesn't work in any version of Puppy older than 4.3 :(

I get the same $#@%^* error in Puppy 4.21 and Turbopup:

Code: Select all

transmission: symbol lookup error: transmission: undefined symbol: gdk_threads_add_timeout_seconds
And that's not all - Transmission is now extra bloated if you're using Puppy 4.21 or older:
Now it requires an additional dependency (libgio-2.0.so.0) that's almost the same size as the Transmission binary

Michalis,did you compile this build in Puppy 4.3 or later?
If that's the case, could you do another compile of Transmission 1.76 in Puppy 4.2 (to produce a package with less dependencies that's compatible with the older Puppies as well)?

Do you still keep an archive of your old Transmission packages? I need the last working builds (v1.72, v1.74 and v1.75).

Does anyone have a copy of the previous release (v1.75)?

(the last one i've tried in Puppy 4.21 was v1.72 and it worked great)

Hi Michales,

Thanks for 1.76, after installing 1.76 my torrents were not connecting anymore.

After that installing 1.74 didn't help solving it...

In the message log this message is being repeated:

Sun Dec 6 19:41:11 2009 Saved "/root/.config/transmission/settings.json"

Solved:

I deleted all files and directories in /root/.config/transmission/ and started again.

So it appears 1.76 works fine in 4.3.1 :)

1.82 doesn't work for me...I'm on puppies 4.31, it continuosly starts downloading for some 10-15 seconds, then stops, as if it loses connection, then starts again...I've tried 1.83 on ubuntu (lucid) it works fine...btw I've switched back to 1.76, it works fine

Actually not. Exact the opposite, it was a pleasant surprise that version 1.92 is smaller than the previous. Only the locales grow up by few kb:

extracted sizes of full package
1.83: 3292kb
1.91: 3336kb
1.92: 3256kb

extracted size of small packages
1.83: 804kb
1.91: 816kb
1.92: 796kb

pet size of small packages:
175: 297kb
1.76: 298kb
1.82: 329kb
1.83: 330kb
1.91: 333kb
1.92: 323kb

Hi Michalis
maybe on the first page you might want to tell users if they add this line
application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/transmission "%s" to /etc/mailcap then when you click on a torrent Firefox and I think Seamonkey will give you the options to open the torrent in Transmission. :)

Transmission 1.93 and 2.00 beta2 are out.

Now where are the .PET packages?

There are some critical fixes for Puppy users in 1.93:

* Fix slow file preallocation on Unix systems not using ext3/ext4 (NOTE: Puppy uses ext2 by default)
* Fix crash when updating the blocklist when the disk is full

Good point, I'll add it.

Hadn't noticed them. I'll compile version 2 which is stable now later tonight when I'll return from work.
