Hey everyone,
When I was in the middle of installing sabnzbd the power went out and I had to reboot !. Now whenever I try to start it, it keeps asking for a username and password...
I tried removing the program and starting fresh, but it keeps asking for a password in order to continue...how can I fix this? How do I completely remove everything to start fresh??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
How to completely remove??

Stop SABnzbd.
Find the sabnzbd.ini file (look here for instructions: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-v2 )
Open the file with a text editor (like Notepad).
Find the fields "username" and "password".

I can't seem to find the file that you mentioned , the folder doesn't seem to exist in that location.
I tried searching for it and found a few other folders named sabnzbdplus, but they don't appear to have the correct .ini file.
What should I do? (sorry, I am quite new to Ubuntu).

Code: Select all
rm ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
and press ENTER.
Then start SABnzbd again.

Re: How to completely remove??
It's because the folder is hidden, I'm assuming you are running gnome, in nautilus you can right click and there's an option called Show hidden files, it's also in a menu at the top I think (view - show hidden files? ; I'm not on a Linux operating system right now so not sure). When a folder has a period/dot in front of it (.sabnzbd), it becomes hidden.
