SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

I have been installing SABnzbd/Sickbeard over the weekend on Open Media Vault. I am a complete Linux n00b so stick with me. I have googled and searched these forums for my problem but haven't found much, so hopefully it is not a repeated question. Sorry if so.

So I have followed tutorials on loading SABnzbd, but when I run it using the 'SABnzbd.py -c sabnzbd.ini' command (or any for of running it) it gets so far as the URLGrabber line and then hangs.

I have also tried changing the host in the ini file (in .SABnzbd folder) from 0.0.0.0, to the server address, back to 0.0.0.0

SABnzbd is actually accessible via the web gui, but with ssh hung on the URLGrabber line, I am unable to do anything else.

I saw in another thread someone say

That's the last line in the log with a normal program startup. Time to start feeding it nzbs.

Which obviously sounds great, but is it right that once SABnzbd has been started, ssh is then unusable?

Below is the log:

I see nothing problematic. You should now access SABnzbd via your webbrowser, and put a NZB into it.

Yeah, like I said it runs fine and I can access it via the web gui.

But ssh is just stuck on the last line so I cant do anything with it unless I quit it. Is that normal? Is there anyway I can run SAB, let it finish and allow me to continue using ssh?

Ah, now I understand.

Open Media Vault seems to be based on Debian Linux. If so, does the file /etc/default/sabnzbdplus exist? If so, find the line "USER=", and append the username you're using on your Open Media Vault (check with "whoami"). Save the file, and reboot your system.

Ah yeah, I checked that earlier.

That dir doesn't actually exist.

It's not a dir, but a file.

Anyway: how did you install: the tar.gz-file, or the PPA for Ubuntu/Debian?

I used the tar.gz-file and extracted it to /opt

/opt/SABnzbd-.0.7.6

That explains it.

Does "sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus" work on your system?

I get a Python error:

/opt# sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sabnzbdplus : Depends: python (>= 2.6.6-7~) but 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Ah. I'm not sure how to solve that. Maybe:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

... and then try again.

Tried that, lots of updates seem to run but still end up with the same error:

sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

Thanks for your help so far, maybe someone else has an idea of what to do?

Looks like the result of mixing (binary) packages from various debian releases. Did you download and install a separate deb file? Post the output of apt-cache policy python sabnzbdplus

I think you're correct.

I hadn't realised there was an automated installation process for Open Media Vault on their forum:

The first post instructs you how to install it and other plug-ins.

Can't believe I wasted hours trying to do it manually when that took 5 minutes
