Empty blocklist in Transmission 4.0.2 #5685

d4niel-P · 2023-04-05T08:39:57Z

Is this a new Bug?

I checkd that the bug hasn't been reported before

Package Name

Transmission

Package Version

4.0.2-21

Device Model

DS214se

Device Architecture

ARMv7 (armada370)

Firmware Version

DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 4

What happened?

After update to Transmission 4.0.2 blocklist is empty. Update ends with:

WebGUI also shows zero entries:

although the same list worked on 3.00-20 and currently has 88 412 entries:

(example from other devices still running Transmission 3)

I suspect it might be permissions issue but I cannot see anything in logs.
Blocklist link: https://mirror.codebucket.de/transmission/blocklist.p2p.gz

Reproduction steps

1. Update blocklist in WebGUI
2. Nothing happens
3. WebGUI shows that blocklist has zero entries

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

mreid-tt · 2023-04-05T12:31:54Z

That's very weird. I have the exact same blocklist URL but mine is working:

Your installation log looks clean. The other log was from which file?
Also, your service log suggests that additional log entries may be included in /volume1/@appdata/transmission/transmission.log. Anything interesting in there?

d4niel-P · 2023-04-05T12:49:36Z

Other logs are from /var/log/messages. I've included them because of that:

pkglock_package_lock.cpp:44 Failed to create dir for lock, path=[/run/synopkg/lock/transmission.lock]

I'm not familiar enough with DSM environment to fully understand them but they seemed relevant.

/volume1/@appdata/transmission/transmission.log is perfect copy of /var/packages/transmission/var/transmission.log:

Starting transmission command
/volume1/@appstore/transmission/bin/transmission-daemon -g
/volume1/@appdata/transmission -x

Thanks for the feedback. You are correct, that error does seem weird. What happens if you look at that directory? My output looks like this:

It may be useful to just reboot your Synology unit to see if that helps since these files are created by the DSM O/S itself.

As for the service logs, you are correct, the two files are the same since the /var/packages/transmission/var/ path has a symbolic link to /volume1/@appdata/transmission/.

d4niel-P · 2023-04-05T13:22:02Z

Here you have dir /run/synopkg/lock/:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Apr 5 10:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 Apr 5 10:08 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 5 10:07 transmission.lock

I have Node.js or Synology Application Servicem installed in the system but only lock for transmission is here.

I've rebooted NAS and restarted transmission daemon couple times. It didn't fix the issue.

Of course I can reinstall transmission package but I'd like to try less invasive remedies first. ;)

mreid-tt · 2023-04-05T13:25:18Z

I note the permissions for your transmission.lock is slightly different. Perhaps if the app isn't running you can just delete it with: sudo rm /run/synopkg/lock/transmission.lock and start the app up again?

d4niel-P · 2023-04-05T14:00:59Z

After rm it looks that file has correct permissions now:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 5 15:46 transmission.lock

It didn't fix the issue with blocklist of course.

Dunno if it's relevant but I have default admin account disabled and created user with admin privileges and whenever I ssh to NAS it greats me with this message:

Could not chdir to home directory /var/services/homes/d4niel_p: No such file or directory

mreid-tt · 2023-04-05T14:21:01Z

This is strange. Lots of weird messages with your DSM. I also run my admin as a created account with the default admin disabled as this is a security recommendation.

As for your directory error, the Synology KB has the following: https://kb.synology.com/en-me/DSM/tutorial/ssh_could_not_chdir_to_home_directory

Perhaps one of the senior devs can chime in on this because there's not much to explain why your blocklist isn't working. I suspect some deeper issue either with the package installation or the DSM O/S itself.

d4niel-P · 2023-04-05T15:22:32Z

Yeah, I might have messed up the system a little forcing update to one of the first betas of DSM 7 back in the day. I'll try to dig a bit more and if I don't find solution I'll clean install the package again. Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.

mreid-tt · 2023-04-26T19:09:39Z

Hi @d4niel-P, just following up to see if there are any recent updates to the actions outlined to resolve this issue. Since out last interaction a new version of Transmission (v4.0.3-22) has also been released. Can you please let us know if the issue still persists? If we don't hear back from you in a few days, we'll assume the issue has been resolved and close this ticket. Thank you!

d4niel-P · 2023-04-27T09:10:34Z

Hi, it was the first thing I checked after I got notification about the update. Unfortunately list is still empty.

mreid-tt · 2023-04-27T09:30:05Z

Hi, it was the first thing I checked after I got notification about the update. Unfortunately list is still empty.

You also indicated that you would be trying a clean install, was that already done? Why I ask is that it could also be a corruption in the settings.json file which a clean install would replace.

d4niel-P · 2023-04-27T10:55:00Z

Sorry, I didn't yet have time for clean install. Config file looks all right, I can edit other settings (even link to blocklist) and they stick between restarts. I'll report after clean install if the issue with empty list still persists.

mreid-tt · 2023-06-17T00:54:52Z

@d4niel-P, following up on this. Any progress to resolve and close this issue?

mreid-tt · 2023-06-22T12:52:05Z

Closing the issue unless any new feedback is provided, as it has been determined that the issue cannot be replicated.

dwardor · 2023-09-01T10:08:04Z

I think I am falling on something similar since updating to DSM 7.2 / transmission 4.0.3-22

My synology NAS has been (for many years now) hosting my nighlty generated blocklist file on : http://localhost/FilteredIPs.p2p.gz [I can still "wget" the file without issue]

transmission has this configured as its blocklist-url

grep blocklist settings.json 
    "blocklist-enabled": true,
    "blocklist-url": "http://localhost/FilteredIPs.p2p.gz",

However since the recent upgrade to DSM 7.2 / transmission 4.0.3-22 from DSM 6, blocklist-update replies it couldn't fetch blocklist

$ ./transmission-remote -n <user:pass> --blocklist-update
Error: Couldn't fetch blocklist: No Response (0)

I get nothing more in the transmission.log ("even with --log-level=debug")

--> Is this a permission issue ? where does transmission try to download the blocklist ?

@d4niel-P how did you resolve this ?

P.S. I also tried by setting blocklist-url to https://mirror.codebucket.de/transmission/blocklist.p2p.gz and get the exact same "Error: Couldn't fetch blocklist: No Response (0)"

d4niel-P · 2023-09-01T10:38:09Z

@d4niel-P how did you resolve this ?

I didn't. Clean install of Transmission didn't help at all.
I still suspect it's a permission issue and, since my NAS has some other (minor) ownership / storage quirks, I want to do a completely fresh install of DSM 7.1.x but this operation requires a lot of preparation so I'm postponing it until unspecified future. ;)

hgy59 · 2023-09-01T11:21:28Z

@dwardor I did a first (initial) installation of transmission 4.0.3-22 on a Virtual DSM (on DS-218+)

$ cat /etc/VERSION
majorversion="7"
minorversion="2"
major="7"
minor="2"
micro="0"
buildphase="GM"
buildnumber="64570"
smallfixnumber="3"
nano="3"
base="64570"
productversion="7.2"
os_name="DSM"
builddate="2023/08/01"
buildtime="15:18:33"

/var/packages/transmission/target/bin$ ./transmission-remote --blocklist-update
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>
/var/packages/transmission/target/bin$ ./transmission-remote -n admin:admin --blocklist-update
Error: Couldn't fetch blocklist: Not Found (404)

so far blocklist was disabled in transmission and the responses above are expected.

Then I enabled blocklist in the Transmission Web UI, entered https://mirror.codebucket.de/transmission/blocklist.p2p.gz as blocklist and pressed udpate.
This shows Blocklist has 80’466 rules in the web ui.

And the cli command works now

/var/packages/transmission/target/bin$ ./transmission-remote -n admin:admin --blocklist-update
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: success

So, I cannot reproduce the error.

BTW: DS412se is an ARMv7 model (armada370 cpu) and not x86_64.

Some steps further

on a DS115j (armada370 too) I get an empty blocklist with the repeated steps of the post above

transmission.log
working (VirtualDSM DSM 7.2)

That's interesting, thank you for the tests!

7.1.x is the final update for DS214se so I guess it's time to upgrade.

dwardor · 2023-09-01T15:23:16Z

Interesting, I'm on a DS414 running DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6 [not DSM 7.2 as I erroneously said in previous post :-(]

# cat /etc/VERSION
majorversion="7"
minorversion="1"
major="7"
minor="1"
micro="1"
productversion="7.1.1"
buildphase="GM"
buildnumber="42962"
smallfixnumber="6"
nano="6"
base="42962"
builddate="2023/05/29"
buildtime="14:27:51"

I did the fresh install (uninstall [with Erase all the package data files] + install) test just like you

Fresh install (no modifications) leeds to same expected result as with you:

$ ./transmission-remote --blocklist-update
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>
$ ./transmission-remote -n admin:admin --blocklist-update
Error: Couldn't fetch blocklist: Not Found (404)

After [only] activating blocklist and setting url to https://mirror.codebucket.de/transmission/blocklist.p2p.gz via webui

hitting update does nothing... (no fail message, but still 0 rules)
cli command seems to work...

$ ./transmission-remote -n admin:admin --blocklist-update
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: success

... but going back to webui still shows there are 0 rules...

Side note webgui only available via ipv4 adress (not available via fdqn, locahost or ipv6 adress)

I'm getting the following errors :

[2023-09-01 16:45:28.151] inf port-forwarding.cc:218 State changed from 'Starting' to 'Not forwarded' (port-forwarding.cc:218)

But permissions to /volume1/@appdata/transmission/blocklists/blocklist seem OK

$ ls -lrt /volume1/@appdata/transmission/blocklists/
total 0

cli command seems to work...
$ ./transmission-remote -n admin:admin --blocklist-update
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: success
... but going back to webui still shows there are 0 rules...

It does not work, even it responded: success

The var/blocklists/blocklist file is empty

this seems the result of : Unable to read/write: Invalid argument (22) (blocklist.cc:505)

I already built a package for arch-armada370-7.1 (instead of arch-armv7-7.1)), but this did not change anything.

the configure output for armada370 is different to armv7 in the following part:
armada370:

-- Performing Test NO_LFS_MACROS_REQUIRED - Failed
-- Performing Test FILE_OFFSET_BITS_LFS_MACRO_REQUIRED
-- Performing Test FILE_OFFSET_BITS_LFS_MACRO_REQUIRED - Success

armv7 (and others like x64)

-- Performing Test NO_LFS_MACROS_REQUIRED - Success

the error is generated in the file libtransmission/file-posix.cc on line 512:

    if (file_size != 0)
    {
        tr_error_prefix(error, "Unable to read/write: ");
        return false;
    }

It seams that either the downloaded file is empty or the processing does not work,
but I have not a clue what the real reason is...

on my working virtual DSM, there are two files after the blocklist update
blocklist (a text file)
blocklist.bin (a binary file)

dwardor · 2023-09-01T17:42:25Z

For info DS414 is armadaxp

mreid-tt · 2023-09-01T18:16:41Z

For reference, I tried with my VirtualDSM setup as follows:

DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 4
DS916+ (INTEL Pentium N3710)
Transmission v4.0.3-22

I did a clean install and then enabled blocklist, adding the URL as above: https://mirror.codebucket.de/transmission/blocklist.p2p.gz. The operation was successful with the following entries in the service log:

[2023-09-01 14:03:06.777] WRN blocklist.cc:242 Couldn't parse line: '83423' (blocklist.cc:242)
[2023-09-01 14:03:06.777] inf blocklist.cc:68 Blocklist 'blocklist.bin' has 80466 entries (blocklist.cc:68)

Sorry but I'm unable to replicate the issue with my setup.

hgy59 · 2023-09-01T19:39:17Z

@mreid-tt this issue is only with ARMv7 archs (at least with armadaxp and armada370)

hgy59 · 2023-09-02T16:12:35Z

@d4niel-P, @dwardor just found a solution and will create a PR with the fix.

It is hidden deep inside the source code of transmission...

- fix empty blocklist by patch - update icon - use TMP_DIR to avoid permission error logs for session files - remove DSM 6 portions in service-setup.sh

* fix transmission (#5685) - fix empty blocklist by patch - update icon - use TMP_DIR to avoid permission error logs for session files - remove DSM 6 portions in service-setup.sh * Remove pre-DSM7 config * adjust patch to fix empty blocklists - avoid log of error 22 (EINV) in fallback to user-space copy * transmission: remove python path * transmisison: fix file locking on ARMv7_ARCHS - force use of flock (since fnctl with F_OFD_SETLK does not work) --------- Co-authored-by: Michael Reid <michael_reid@email.com>
