deluge account
How are you supposed to log in to the deluge user when the shell is set to /bin/false?


 * you shouldn't. deluge is a /daemon/, you don't log into its account. --83.163.69.73 17:17, 29 September 2009 (GMT)

Seems logical enough, but then this command on the page is quite bad

After the daemon is started, you'll need to tell the server to allow remote connections. Login as deluge from an already running root session:

Start the Deluge console interface:


 * As covered by the article? /Ni1s 07:44, 2 October 2009 (GMT)
 * yes, that sequence of commands won't work as described in the article.
 * What part specifically? /Ni1s 08:27, 2 October 2009 (GMT)
 * Since the shell is set to /bin/false you wont be able to do su --login deluge, my system just kicks me back out to root
 * How about using ? /Ni1s 14:55, 5 October 2009 (GMT)
 * I think I see the problem, so I've edited the page/Krigstask 23:45, 8 October 2009 (GMT+04:00)
 * Nice it works now :)

'Core proxy is invalid'
I get this message when I try to set the ">>> config -s allow_remote True" command. How can I solve this? According to the deluge forums you need to run the deluge console from the user that is running deluge, but ain't we doing that?
 * Seems like it, I never got that error. Check your user settings in deluge config/Krigstask
 * I have DELUGED_USER="deluge":"nogroup" in my config and when I start I get the following error /sbin/start-stop-daemon: user `deluge:nogroup' not found I have checked and the user deluge exists and is a member of nogroup
 * Try DELUGED_USER="deluge":"nogroup" → DELUGED_USER="deluge:nogroup" / Krigstask
 * Yeah I have tried that to, If I run it with only DELUGED_USER="deluge" the init script does not complain but I still get the core proxy error, If I try "deluge:nogroup" I get the following error from the start script, /sbin/start-stop-daemon: user `deluge:nogroup' not found / Sedrik

I had this user not found problem. Using "deluge" without the group works, then chown -R deluge.nogroup /home/deluge
