I’ve just managed to solve a quite annoying glitch. After booting Raspbian, Transmission was immediately unable to connect to transmission-daemon on port 9091.
After much digging, i’ve found out that:
- Restarting the service just makes things work
- I was getting a bunch of error messages in /var/log/daemon.log (re: bind)
- Several posts in few forums suggested that the service was being initialized before the network adapter was actually ready.
Long story short:
- Launch raspi-config
- Select: 3. Boot Options
- Select: B2 Wait for Network at Boot
That’s all you need, pretty much. Next time you boot, transmission-remote-cli will be able to connect immediately.
