I also was confronted with this bug. Please fix it, because it is for users quite hard to figure out *what* is going wrong, and it takes a lot of debugging time before arriving at the source of the problem
The fix is trivial and should therefor be (in my opinion) be applied as soon as possible for the next Ubuntu release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261192 Title: Incorrect start on condition in upstart script for transmission-daemon Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Release: Ubuntu Server 13.10 x86_64 Package: transmission-daemon 2.82 After the system is booted transmission-daemon is not contactable on port 9091 using transmission-remote or the web interface. The daemon is however started and uploading/downloading. After the daemon is restarted everything works correctly. The 'start on' condition (in /etc/init/transmission-daemon.conf) currently reads as follows: start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo) i.e. start after both the filesystem and loopback adapter are available. The transmission-daemon binds to 0.0.0.0:9091 on start up in order to listen for remote procedure calls and as such should wait for an adapter other than the loopback adapter to be available. The line should read as follows: start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) PS At least I think that's what's going on (and this change has resolved my problem)...
