Description Peter Hjalmarsson 2018-01-18 20:09:17 UTC
Description of problem:
Since upgrade from 2.92-10 to 2.92-11 I cannot connect to the web-gui, nor kan transmission-remote connect to transmission from another computer then localhost.
This seems to have to do with how things are written to settings.json. After the update the following vars are always dupes in settings.json except the "withheld" passwords that are always new randomly generated.

    "rpc-password": "<withheld>",
    "rpc-password": "<withheld>",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,


If I remove the dupes or change ny of the lines, new dupes are either created, or the lines are over-written.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
transmission-2.92-11.fc27

How reproducible:
Always

How to reproduce:
1. install transmission-2.92-11.fc27
2. edit the whitelist or disable whitelist in settings.json
3. start the daemon
4. try to access the daemon over network
5. verify how the whitelist looks


Actual results:
my conf (in Expected results) are overwritten on daemon restart with following:
    "rpc-password": "<withheld>",
    "rpc-password": "<withheld>",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,


Expected results:
    "rpc-password": "<withheld>",
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-username": "",
    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1,10.88.*.*",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,


Additional info:
Even when I get the rpc-whitelist-enabled to say false, I still get 403 from the daemon, with comments in the web-ui about blocked by missing IP in whitelist.

Confirmed, as reported here : https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/473#event-1430874514
As Mikedld (github transmission maintainer) stated, looks like an earlier version of a patch (which had wrong order of quarks) was applied to this update.

Created attachment 1383775 [details]
Patch adapter for 2.92, fetched from the PR

Cannot really see if the used patch is an older version or a try to make an own adaption of the upstream patch that did not get so well. However this is the patch posted by lfam in the PR as an adaption to 2.92.
Rebuilded with this patch instead, works fine.

Comment 3 seikainc 2018-01-21 04:29:12 UTC
Yes, I got the same duplicated lines in setting.json file on my production platform, Fedora 27.
Package version is 2.92-11.fc27

Comment 4 Peter Hjalmarsson 2018-01-22 15:15:58 UTC

Comment 7 Peter Hjalmarsson 2018-01-22 18:54:50 UTC
As the transmission testcases had fetched this, please add the following to the spec-file as well. I can verify that the current patch fails at "quark-test", however the patch i posted passes all tests.
