Hi,

My transmission doesn’t seems to open rpc port on boot.

result of netstat -lntp

How can I make it work on boot?

Thanks for any help

Hi studioai,

for me it looks good, but that doesn’t mean a lot.
I’m not a coder, programmer or scripting guy.

Hmm… you can have a look here: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/dietpi/dietpi-software#L2954

Sorry, we have have to wait for someone with more consolidated knowledge.

k-plan,

thanks for helping me!

I found a solution by googling and I report to you.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=124503

this solved my problem!

I'll test a transmission install on my XU4 and see if I can replicate.

EDIT: ip:9091 Working fine after reboot.

I know the issue is now resolved, but, would you be able to paste the results of the following please:

```text
systemctl status dietpi-service && systemctl status transmission-daemon.service

DietPi disables program services for software you install with dietpi-software. This allows dietpi-services to take control of when they are launched during boot. I’am just wondering if this issue was caused by your transmission service being enabled, and launching via systemD too early.
