Troubleshooting
Applicable TOS version: TOS 4.x
Applicable models: all TNAS models
If you cannot start Transmission after you update TOS, even if you have tried to uninstall and reinstall Transmission, please do the following.
1. Log in to TOS and uninstall the Transmission application
2. Log in to SSH, execute "sudo -i", switch to root user
How to log in to the SSH terminal?
3. Then execute the command:
Code: Select all
find / -path '/mnt/md0/application/transmission' -prune -o -name 'transmission' -print -exec rm -rf {} \;
4. Reinstall the Transmission app

Have you read the main text? The method has already been written on it.
If this is not what you want, please provide some descriptions.

Thanks. I am Windows user and I just started learning Linux. The command in the post isn't clear for me
but I read the manuals and used command "find". Result is "find: ‘transmission’: No such file or directory". What are my next steps?
And how can I use Windows PowerShell instead of PuTTY with 9222 port? PowerShell is more friendly (copy/paste works there).

I realized my mistakes. On Linux, case has a value in the file name. I found the Transmission folder in Volume1 and deleted it with the rmdir command (I deleted the subfolders in advance). Why don't work the commands help, info, man in the terminal? I wanted to see help information to the commands directly in the terminal.

Linux manual pages are readily available on-line in various places. However, remember that TOS is, in effect a partly stripped down linux in some ways as may be found in embedded systems and partly runs on BusyBox (I believe). Add in modifications made by TM to increase security (as they see it
and you can find that things don't run as expected. (Plus different versions of Linux can do things differently anyway.) However I can say that 'find' does work as I use it myself in scheduled commands to find and delete files. Also fairly standard 'helps' can be found in the cli.

Thanks. But could you explain what is "cli"?

Thank you for the explanation.
The problem has not been solved as it turned out. I don't see the "Transmission" folder in the NAS file manager but from a Windows computer (SMB) I see it anyway (PC & NAS rebooting didn't help). How can I fix this?
It seems to me that not being able to manage root folders from the NAS file manager is not a good idea. Perhaps I have a bad knowledge of the structure of the system, so it seems to me so.

I tried to install Transmission again and uninstall it again, then run the command from the first post - the folder is in place now everywhere (web, Samba) again.
It's strange that it doesn't bother other users. After all, this is a common strategy to install the application, try it, and if you don't like it, uninstall it. After removal, tails should not remain or they should be easily removed, isn't it?
