Reinstall ... yes, then in 15 minutes you have a fresh install and guides should work. thanks for the advice, I uninstalled, reinstalled and like you said in 15 mins i was up and running, I just needed to populate my sab ini file, and it autostarted on boot, with no intervention from me. Goodness k...

Ah, OK. Some notes: Ubuntu 20.04 has already a SAB3 version. Although a pre-alpha, it's there, and it should work. PPA by JCFP is for uptodate versions of SAB. This PPA offers two versions as explained on https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/install-ubuntu-repo Choose either the nobetas channel, t...

Back to the basics: how it is possible you got into this problem? Because I have Ubuntu 20.04, and for me the SABnzbd start-at-boot works out of the box. It's a brand new build so shiould be easy to get back toscratch. Followed some advice I came across which I felt uneasy about at the time by addi...

Did you google "service not enabled" & sabnzbd? Gives info that looks useful. yes i've tried a few things and can't work it out. E.g. I run sudo systemctl start sabnzbdplus, Sab doesn't start, then I run "journalctl -xe | grep sab" to try and see why it hasn't started, but I...

yes ricardo exists with root privileges too (bad practise, i know)

sure, thanks for the reply! # This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus # # When SABnzbd+ is started using the init script, the # --daemon option is always used, and the program is # started under the account of $USER, as set below. # # Each setting is marked either "required" or &qu...

Hi all, I can run sabnzbdplus -s 0.0.0.0 and it works, but I can't seem to get it to run on startup via systemctl. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. When I run "sudo systemctl status sabnzbdplus", I get ● sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber Loaded: loaded (/etc...

I didn't even know i had that option enabled, must have been default

I disabled it, and already had the Abort if.....option you mentioned, so thanks for your help!

hi all,

I changed from Thundernews to FastUsenet and now the pre download "checking" phase seems to take a lot longer,

1) is this normal?
2) Why does it happen?
3) Is there anything I can do to help it go faster?

thanks in advance!

I clicked the download and there were no files. Are you sure there'd be files even if it's at 935MB of 935MB?

I can't change the priority to stop on that screen, there is only Default, High, Normal and Low.

It appears to refuse to allow me to set the status to "stop", the dropdownbox immediately reverts back to Normal and nothing appears to have changed. It's happened again on a Couchpotato one today

nope! I scoured it

Sab says so yes, when I hover over the first item it says Downloading, but when I hover over the second item it says "waiting". There's a folder with parts of downloads in it in the destination with ".nzb.gz" file and a SABNZBD_Attrib file and a SABnzbd_nzo_vvR9WJ file. Looking a...

Hi all,

recently downloads which are being passed from Couchpotato to SAB are sticking at 100%, with no errors in the logs, and leaving just a small _ADMIN_ folder in the incomplete folder. Downloads are fine from SickBeard.

I don't know where to start troubleshooting, can anyone advise please?

thanks that worked a treat !
