Here, this issue comes and goes. It felt like having a brutal prune of how many ISOs etc I was seeding got rid of it, but it's back again.
I did the grep above to see the messages in syslog.. ah, that's quite a lot, isn't it? How many lines? user@pc:~$ grep 'transmission' -c /var/log/syslog 5399493 !!! Ah, that's why syslog is so large... and that's just the number of transmission-gtk messages in the past week. Most are errors, repeated multiple times a second. Here's the output of the grep piped into tail: Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: gtk_spin_button_set_value: assertion 'GTK_IS_SPIN_BUTTON (spin_button)' failed Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: g_signal_handler_unblock: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GtkSpinButton' Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: gtk_spin_button_get_value_as_int: assertion 'GTK_IS_SPIN_BUTTON (spin_button)' failed Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: g_signal_handler_block: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: gtk_spin_button_set_value: assertion 'GTK_IS_SPIN_BUTTON (spin_button)' failed Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer Oct 22 20:28:25 pc transmission-gt[22015]: g_signal_handler_unblock: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed -- 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/1969315 Title: text in torrent info tabs change after opening it to gibberish Status in transmission package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: on transmission-gtk after opening the torrent's properties panel, the text at first it's showing ok, buy on mouse hover it changes to random text worked fine on 21.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: transmission-gtk 3.00-2ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-25.25-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-25-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Apr 17 19:28:03 2022 SourcePackage: transmission UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-03-26 (22 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/1969315/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
