Did you remove old transmission daemon?

Yes, at this moment installed only transmission from first post.

Maybe better to restart with a fresh image of xbian and than follow the steps in this post? That's what I did last nyt and all installed fine. I started with deleting all partitions of the SD card, formatting, installing xbian, update, and than the steps. Should work.

Slightly off topic, but I can't install Samba anymore. I tried both the xbian menu and the following command:

Code:

apt-get install xbian-package-samba

Resulting in this error:

Code:

I should have enough memory. So this is somewhat weird. Any ideas?

I am trying to setup my external drive following the previous mentioned commands:

Code:

mkdir /media/usb/downloads
mkdir /media/usb/incomplete
cp -R /home/xbian/downloads/* /media/usb/downloads/
cp -R /home/xbian/incomplete/* /media/usb/incomplete/
rm -r /home/xbian/downloads
rm -r /home/xbian/incomplete
ln -s /media/usb/downloads /home/xbian/downloads
ln -s /media/usb/incomplete /home/xbian/incomplete

But after doing this, sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones re not opening their webgui. Any ideas?

Need error reports by starting with the long command...

Code:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# start-stop-daemon -d /usr/local/share/sickbeard -c xbian  --group=xbian --start --pidfile /tmp/sickbeard.pid --exec /usr/bin/python --  SickBeard.py -q --daemon --nolaunch --pidfile=/tmp/sickbeard.pid --datadir=/usr/local/share/sickbeard  --config=/usr/local/etc/sickbeard/sickbeard.ini
/usr/bin/python already running.

[CurlyMo]

Then stop sickbeard first and rerun the command.

I'm giving up. I'm not getting any errors with that command.
Tried to start sickbeard again.
Get error:

Code:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# /etc/init.d/sickbeard start                                            [ ok ] Sickbeard already running (pid 4702).

Will look into it later.

I've updated all packages so purge is supported. However, purge is in case of xbian not different from remove.

Is there a different command to use for purge? Or can I use the same commands as stated above?

[CurlyMo]

Code:

man dpkg

^-- works for almost all programs.

However, no need to use them because in the xbian packages, purge and remove work the same.
