Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS: I posted a year or so ago that every multiple rar download fails with at least one rar file marked as "corrupt", and every repair when par2 files are included also fails. That has been the case since and, as pointed out to me, I have to accept that it's my fault. N...

I thought I'd report back. Someone else might learn from my journey. The problems I was experiencing on the Ubuntu server with the latest sabnzbdplus installation seem to have stemmed from Radarr. I did a complete re-install of the server OS and then installed sabnzbdplus. It worked OK Next, Medusa....

Hi
Thanks for that.

I'm starting to think maybe some faulty network or HDD issue (cable), especially since it was all working OK for some time

I have some time this coming week so will work thru that.

Cheers

The situation remains the same; the sabnzbdplus installation from the PPA (3.2.1 [0542c25]) consistently fails all downloads with CRC issues. To try and eliminate hardware issues I have re-tested with clean installs on three different PCs, one Ubuntu 20.04 server, the others running the latest Linux...

You are using an ancient version. Please update using the PPA: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/install-ubuntu-repo Then download the 1GB test-download from the Status and interface settings window. As mentioned in my top post, I have done that, and got an even worse outcome. But I'll do it ag...

Up front, this is driving me crazy: Since about two weeks ago every download containing multiple rar files fails, usually with a CRC error. The contained file is partially unpacked and placed into the destination directory along with the rar and par files. Here's what I have tried: LAN infrasture I ...

Hi I was simply suggesting a kludge to help anyone having a similar issue to mine because of the PATH bug. That is, being unable to start sabnzbdplus on a headless server. But your crontab is a bit more elegant than mine. Thanks. I haven't tried it. The idea occurred when I did something similar to ...

It occurs to me that a simple work around might be

sudo crontab -e
@reboot /usr/bin/sabnzbdplus

Cheers

Last words on this matter: If you rely on xrdp keep away from Ubuntu 20.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/1911435 PS: Re the backup- yes. Learned a long time ago that the only data lost is the data not backed up. Generally speaking if you have a back up you will never need it un...

No need for that. Read https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/install-ubuntu-repo That didn't work for me. After stuffing about for several hours, purging, reinstalling, including trying to run it as a service , I had the inevitable hissy fit. I gave up. Mark Shuttleworth won. I've restored Ubuntu 1...

I have set to run as a service and it works fine and i'm remembering to use VNC for any modification of sab for now. I haven't experimented with rdp access while running as a service etc. I'm having a similar problem, but it seems to be the other way, i.e. the path is corrupted when attempts are ma...

Thanks for the links. FYI, I am seeing exactly the opposite; on the host environment the path has dropped /usr. However, on RDP (remote) access it's intact. FYI, for now I am using a client PC that's on 24/7 to initiate and keep sabnzbdplus up on the server. PS: Next person to laud the ease of Linux...

Ah, found it: https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=25118 Yes, RDP too. Same problem: the "/usr" part is missing. See https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?p=123145#p123145 for more info. Early morning here. I'm out for the day so will pick this up when I get back Thanks

"I have xfce installed on the server for access from xrdp." Some time ago there was someone on this forum with the following problem: via remote access from a windows PC (with RDP, IIRC), the path was malformed. (So not PATH, but path). Looked like some weird replacement, caused by the RD...

Plain Ubuntu host, or docker involved? Installed with apt install etc... How do you start SABnzbd: which command, which account, in both cases I have xfce installed on the server for access from xrdp. Currently I have a monitor and keyboard attached. When I start the app directly on the server from...
