Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

just use JDOWNLOADER! the BEST!! now works on N900!!

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

Uninstall it and get version 1.75 from extras. Works fine.

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

I have an issue where once Transmission 1.75 is installed, once I place a shortcut on the desktop, after a reboot it disappears. It cannot be readded, despite still existing on the device, in the main menu, and being selectable/useable (via the main menu).

Attached is a screen dump showing where it was (below Conky). I have been resorting to uninstall/reinstall to get it back, but it only lasts until a reboot.

Is there a work around from anyone who has this issue?

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

I dont even get the option to create a shortcut in 1.75. It dont show up in the add a shortcut list.

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

Hmm......that's even worse.....

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

It is a bit of a pain as I like ALL my most used things on the front screen. But with Transmission 1.75 I have to open the apps menu. It's only 1 or 2 more clicks and it's not gonna kill me. But I still like the shortcuts to everything on my desktop :(

Re: Transmission v2.03 for Nokia N900

i have my n900 overclocked and have it set to download to microsd and it works fine, even multitasking. just download 1 at a time!

Im using transmission 1.75, get it from maemo packages! make sure you grab transmission common 1.75 too.

@5spdvl

You have to clean up the conflicts between qtrans.desktop (2.x version) and transmission.desktop (1.75 version).
Change duplicate/conflicting entries.

Heh. I thought it might have been but had to check incase there was super duper compression technique used to get all that on. You never know with this phone lol.

I once mounted 500GB external harddrive to my N900 in hostmode, so downloading 350GB is possible :)

Save the following file as
/usr/share/applications/hildon/transmission.desktop
thereby overwriting the existing symlink.

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.76

Name=Transmission 1.76

Exec=transmission %F

Icon=transmission

Terminal=false

TryExec=transmission

Type=Application

MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;

Categories=Network;FileTransfer;P2P;GTK;

X-Osso-Service=com.transmissionbt.Transmission

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

this will make it show up in desktop shortcuts and in the app menu as Transmission 1.76

for those who also have 2.x installed
save the following as
/usr/share/applications/hildon/qtrans.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=Transmission 2.03

GenericName=Torrent Client

Comment=Torrent Client

Exec=qtr

Icon=trans

Categories=Network;

this will resolve all conflicts and make it show up as Transmission 2.03 in shortcut list and app menu
