Sabnzbd and transmission can't write to directory [solved]

After a recent update, sabnzbd is unable to write files to its directory.
When I start sabnzbd, I get an error saying that it can't create a directory

It seems like a permissions issue, but I can't seems to get a handle on it.
I have chowned  /home/net/Data/Download/sabnzb/ to sabnzbd:sabnzbd
chmod and umask to 777
Set the permisions in the UI to 777
All the latest chatter on the AUR package page is about systemd, which I (as far as I know) is not the issue and wiki page is flagged as out of date. Most of the wiki page is about getting it to run as a different user anyway, and I had this running just fine as the default user.
I recently moved my install to a bigger hard drive, so this may be related to that, rather than the upgraded package.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

I took Beg's advice and looked at the ownership of the home directory. Turns out that everything was owned by root:root, but the permissions were wide open.
drwxrwxrwx 46 net users 4096 Jan 5 15:30 Audiobook
drwxrwxrwx 13 root root 4096 Feb 24 22:39 Backup
drwxrwxrwx 13 root root 4096 Feb 24 16:42 Documents
drwxrwxrwx 16 root root 4096 Feb 24 16:50 Download
drwxrwxrwx 25 root root 4096 Feb 24 16:59 Ebook
drwxrwxrwx 53 root root 12288 Mar 2 10:02 Incoming
drwxrwxrwx 67 root root 4096 Feb 17 17:22 Movie
drwxrwxrwx 36 root root 4096 Nov 18 17:38 Music
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Apr 8 2012 Pictures
drwxrwxrwx 59 root root 4096 Feb 19 19:54 TV
so I chowned it (recursively) to net:users.
Then I chrooted the download directory to sabnzbd:sabnzbd
I looked at sabnzbd.service and it is running it as sabnzbd:sabnzbd

I still get the same error
I tried running the program as user 'net' and had the same problem
Transmission has the same error as well
Couldn't create "/home/net/Data/Incoming": Permission denied (fdlimit.c:348)
So permissions are wide open and owned by the proper users, but sabnzbd and transmission can't write, but samba can.
What does that mean?

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that isn't fully working. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab.

    Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

  • IPod will stop syncing after about an hour and then can't write to iPod

    I recently added several thousand songs to my iTunes. But my ipod will not sync all the songs. After about a thousand songs, it will come up with an error message saying that it can't write to the ipod. If I try to reconnect, the ipod does not show up in itunes and then it asks me to format the ipod again.
    If i restore the ipod using the ipod updater 2006-01-10, I can get it to sync up again but it will come up with the same error message again after about a thousand songs but never in the same place.
    I've tried following the troubleshooting techniques on the ipod support site for the ipod not showing up in the itunes window. But the ipod will show up in the itunes window immediately after I restore the ipod so I don't think that this is the problem. It's after the error message and when I try to reconnect it to the computer that it does not show up.
    Any suggestions?

    Try unsyncing and resyncing all of your music.  To do this, remove the tick mark next to Sync Music from under the iPod's Music tab and click Apply in the lower right hand corner. This will remove all tracks from the iPod. When it has finished, re-apply the check mark and again apply the changes to resync all music back over to the device. Make sure that Sync Entire library is still selected and that Sync only checked songs and videos is NOT selected.
    Any luck there?
    Where are you getting the total number of songs at on both iTunes and your iPod Touch?

  • Can't write to temp directory

    hi! i'm trying to install Oracle9i enterprise edition on a Windows XP Pro system. once i click setup, it gives me a message saying that the installer can't write to the temp directory?!
    on checking the temp directory, i found that it's marked as read only, and there's no way i can't uncheck it, it just keeps coming back?!! even if i create a new folder and specify it as the temp directory, it is the same.
    is this a problem with the Oracle installer or windows? cos i'm installing other softwares(from other vendors) and it's okay.
    i am already having the full computer administrator rights.
    thx.

    Can I somehow disable DM's awareness of the source control?That's in "Preferences>Extensions" - disable versioning support there. Still I won't recommend to save it over existing design - existing directories will be deleted including svn directories. It's safer to save the content in another directory and copy it back to versioned directory; also files that have older date should be removed from versioned folders.

  • How can i get also the files in the root directory and how can i for testing add items of IEnumerable FTPListDetail to List string ?

    What i get is only the directories and files that in other nodes. But i have also files on the root directory and i never
    get them. This is a screenshot of my program after i got the content of my ftp. I'm using treeView to display my ftp content:
    You can see two directories from the root but no files on the root it self. And in my ftp server host i have files in the root direcory.
    This is the method i'm using to get the directory listing:
    public IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> GetDirectoryListing(string rootUri)
    var CurrentRemoteDirectory = rootUri;
    var result = new StringBuilder();
    var request = GetWebRequest(WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails, CurrentRemoteDirectory);
    using (var response = request.GetResponse())
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
    string line = reader.ReadLine();
    while (line != null)
    result.Append(line);
    result.Append("\n");
    line = reader.ReadLine();
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.ToString()))
    return new List<FTPListDetail>();
    result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf("\n"), 1);
    var results = result.ToString().Split('\n');
    string regex =
    @"^" + //# Start of line
    @"(?<dir>[\-ld])" + //# File size
    @"(?<permission>[\-rwx]{9})" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<filecode>\d+)" +
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<owner>\w+)" +
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<group>\w+)" +
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<size>\d+)" +
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<month>\w{3})" + //# Month (3 letters) \n
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<day>\d{1,2})" + //# Day (1 or 2 digits) \n
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<timeyear>[\d:]{4,5})" + //# Time or year \n
    @"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
    @"(?<filename>(.*))" + //# Filename \n
    @"$"; //# End of line
    var myresult = new List<FTPListDetail>();
    foreach (var parsed in results)
    var split = new Regex(regex)
    .Match(parsed);
    var dir = split.Groups["dir"].ToString();
    var permission = split.Groups["permission"].ToString();
    var filecode = split.Groups["filecode"].ToString();
    var owner = split.Groups["owner"].ToString();
    var group = split.Groups["group"].ToString();
    var filename = split.Groups["filename"].ToString();
    var size = split.Groups["size"].Length;
    myresult.Add(new FTPListDetail()
    Dir = dir,
    Filecode = filecode,
    Group = group,
    FullPath = CurrentRemoteDirectory + "/" + filename,
    Name = filename,
    Owner = owner,
    Permission = permission,
    return myresult;
    And then this method to loop over and listing :
    private int total_dirs;
    private int searched_until_now_dirs;
    private int max_percentage;
    private TreeNode directories_real_time;
    private string SummaryText;
    private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
    var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
    var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
    var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
    var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
    total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
    searched_until_now_dirs++;
    int percentage = 0;
    foreach (var dir in directories)
    directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
    if (recursive_levl == 1)
    TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
    this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
    UpdateList(temp_tn);
    percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
    if (percentage > max_percentage)
    SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
    max_percentage = percentage;
    backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
    percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
    if (percentage > max_percentage)
    SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
    max_percentage = percentage;
    backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
    foreach (var file in files)
    TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
    file_tree_node.Tag = "file" ;
    directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
    numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
    return directoryNode;
    Then updating the treeView:
    DateTime last_update;
    private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
    TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
    if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
    last_update = DateTime.Now;
    treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
    treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
    treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
    ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
    treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
    And inside a backgroundworker do work how i'm using it:
    var root = Convert.ToString(e.Argument);
    var dirNode = CreateDirectoryNode(root, "root", 1);
    e.Result = dirNode;
    And last the FTPListDetail class:
    public class FTPListDetail
    public bool IsDirectory
    get
    return !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Dir) && Dir.ToLower().Equals("d");
    internal string Dir { get; set; }
    public string Permission { get; set; }
    public string Filecode { get; set; }
    public string Owner { get; set; }
    public string Group { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string FullPath { get; set; }
    Now the main problem is that when i list the files and directories and display them in the treeView it dosen't get/display
    the files in the root directory. Only in the sub nodes.
    I will see the files inside hello and stats but i need also to see the files in the root directory.
    1. How can i get and list/display the files of the root directory ?
    2. For the test i tried to add to a List<string> the items in var files to see if i get the root files at all.
       This is what i tried in the CreateDirectoryNode before it i added:
    private List<string> testfiles = new List<string>();
    Then after var files i did:
    testfiles.Add(files.ToList()
    But this is wrong. I just wanted to see in testfiles what items i'm getting in var files in the end of the process.
    Both var files and directoryListing are IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> type.
    The most important is to make the number 1 i mentioned and then to do number 2.

    Risa no.
    What i mean is this. This is a screenshot of my ftp server at my host(ipage.com).
    Now this is a screenshot of my program and you can see that in my program i have only the directories hello stats test but i don't have the files in the root: htaccess.config swp txt 1.txt 2.png....all this files i don't have it on my treeView.
    What i want it to be is that on my program on the treeView i will also display the files like in my ftp server.
    I see in my program only the directories and the files in the directories but i don't see the files on the root directory/node.
    I need it to be like in my ftp server i need to see in my program the htaccess 1.txt 2.png and so on.
    So what i wrote in my main question is that in the var files i see this files of the root directory i just don't know to add and display them in my treeView(my treeView is treeViewMS1).
    I know i checked in my program in the method CreateDirectoryNode i see in the first iteration of the recursive that var files contain this root files i just dont know how to add and display them in my treeView.
    On the next iterations when it does the recursive it's adding the directories hello stats test and the files in this directories but i need it to first add the root files.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • TS1436 I received this message twice on 2 new & separate attempts to burn a playlist to a NEW cd:  "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What is a "medium write error" and how can I deal with this?

  • I write digital port by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi​' and receive TDMS file with 8 boolean channels. How can I write to 1 integer channel?

    Hello!
    I want to write 1 digital port from PXI-6536 with streaming to TDMS file.
    I'm writing by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and become TDMS file with 8 boolean channels.
    How can I write to 1integer channel?

    Hey Atrina,
    The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case).  It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
    I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
    Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform.  Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary.  This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting.  I've attached an example of what I mean.
    Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files.  It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.
