Delay Transmission start on boot

Help and Support
1

Hi,
I just installed Transmission, and I’m having an issue with the autostart. The problem is the transmission service starts, before the system mounts my HDD. This is a problem, because the Transmission can’t access the files.

I saw few people having the same problem, and they fixed adding a delay to the /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon file. I tried this too, but it did not work. I even deleted the file, and the transmission still started on boot. I’m guessing the script which starts the daemon on boot is located somewhere else.

If anyone knows know how to fix this, please help me!
Thanks!

If you had installed the version of transmission from the OSMC App Store you’ll find it already has a 10 second startup delay for this reason. I’d recommend you uninstall the Debian version and install the OSMC version.

I removed the debian version, with apt-get, then tried to install the transmission from the app store, but it failed.

Is there any log what i could show?

Make sure you purge the old package not just remove it. Apt log is at /var/log/apt/term.log

I used both remove and purge.
