SABnzbd Forums

Hi!

I am using sabnzbd for a while now, but on Windows, and a few weeks agos i decided to get a Linux "Server" running.
But since i have the Server sabnzbd wont unpack files after the download, i tried to find some Solutions on the Internet but didnt found anything that fits my Problem or solves it...
So now i hope you can help me... PS: I am Windows Admin and a Linux noob so please be Patient

So here are the Problem and some technical Information (i did remove some personal Data but all relevant Information is given):

What i see:
sabnzbd does find the unrar binary and it starts unpacking but then does nothing cause...?
I tried to unpack some files within the terminal with unrar and works perfect.
My sabnzbd is running as root/sudo so there should be no permission issue (also it can write the download to that Folder so it also should be able to write the extracted files - from a permission Point of view).

Pleas, please, please help me cause i am running out of ideas.


Thanks a lot and best regards

Very good analysis! My compliments.

From your logging: I can't find "Read the passwords file" anywhere in my logfiles. Nor in the SABnzbd source code. So ... where does it come from?
Looking at the second line (in German), I wonder if you have translated the first line?

The only line that has resemblance, says 'Failed to read the passwords file', which is the opposite of "Read the passwords file" ...

Hi,

first thanks for the reply.
I didnt translate anything of this logs - (just removed the full servername and replaced it with "Server" and changed the Name of the downloaded File) seems to me like sabnzbd has some sort of Translation or more possible it takes this out of the german ubuntu Installation .
But i also did already think about that PW.txt maybe i should recreate it under Ubuntu? Because it was made at a Windows machine...

PS: The Information Comes from the Logs /home/%username%/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log i just checked it again and i have the same row again for each download.
So maybe there is somethin wrong with my sabnzbd Installation?

EDIT: "Starting sabnzbdplus-0.7.16" ... so quotes might be from that (old) version of SAB.

I would upgrade to current version of SABnzbd. Use the PPA method, see http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo, so on your current Ubuntu:
Then type
and post the output here. If it's 0.7.18, rerun the same download

And ... what is your follow-up?

Hi,

sorry for that late reply but i did not found enough time to test things out correctly the last past days.
I now added the repository and updatet everything (reboot after that) and also recreated the PW.TXT with nano to an "Ubuntu created" File.
After 2 small Downloads it seems like everyhting is working like a charm

I will do some further testing but i think this one is solved.
Thank you very much for the fast help
