I am currently been learning Linux and switching my PC's to linux Mint. I was playing with Ubuntu previously but after finding to many problems with Ubuntu I found Mint to be be easier to use.
I had installed SABNZBD on Ubuntu a few times with no errors or issues but now that I went to Linux Mint 17 and installed SABNZBD and get a message next to 1 warning stating "No PAR2 program found, repairs not possible". and the warning states "par2 binary... NOT found!"
Since I am new to the whole Linux thing and my only real experience with SABNZBD was in windows were I had no issues and the previous mentioned Ubuntu installs, I do not know where to begin.
I did do a search of the forums and of Google and could not find anything that pertain to my situation or was very helpful. Because I am new to Linux I need things explained or spelled out in more detail otherwise I wont learn.
Please Help!

How did you install SABnzbd on Linux Mint? Package (which command), or from source?

Re: New Install - No PAR2 program found, repairs not possibl
Hi
I'm not sure if this info will be useful but here goes: I was also experiencing 'No PAR2 program found, repairs not possible'.
I used 'sudo apt-get install par2' and then 'which par2' gave as /usr/bin/par2
I found a number of threads with solutions that were well beyond my knowledge of Linux; make a symlink here, change the $PATH there etc. I couldn't get anything to work.
Then I clicked on '2 Warnings - No PAR2 program found, repairs not possible' withing the Sabnzbd GUI and was presented with two buttons. Repair and Restart. Repair solved the problem.
Oh lulz, oh lulz.

Did you restart SABnzbd after you installed par2?
