Transmission doesn't prevent suspend when torrent is active

This is because this interface has been removed from gnome-power-manager this cycle. In Karmic, all inhibitors need to be registered with gnome-session instead, using gnome-session's inhibit DBus API

chirs, can you explain how can we fix this problem?

Iakiu, port it to SessionManager D-Bus API as in: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/01/28/inhibits-and-the-new-world-order/

This is fixed now in trunk for 1.80.

If anyone wants to backport to Karmic, it's a fairly minor patch. The diff can be found in the upstream ticket.

I'm going to prepare SRU soon

This should be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 now. I nominated it for karmic to keep track of it.

Has this been backported for Ubuntu 9.10?

No, it hasn't. You may follow the instructions on "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports to request transmission 1.80 to be backported from Ubuntu 10.04 to 9.10.

I have prepared SRU for this bug and it's waiting for an ACK from the
SRU team. Then it's going to be uploaded to the -proposed for testing.

As the SRU policy explains, just go ahead and upload. It will be
reviewed in the queue.

(By the sound of it this seems fine to me)

thanks for answering ;)

If there are other people with this problem who needs it fixed, you can install from source pretty easily:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev intltool libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev libglib2.0-dev

wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-1.80b3.tar.bz2
tar xf transmission-*
cd transmission-*
./configure --prefix=/usr -q
make -s
sudo make install

This will overwrite Transmission 1.75 with 1.80b3 and I can confirm suspend now is prevented.

I've just uploaded this now (attached is the debdiff of the package I uploaded).

Just one small comment though - our patch tagging guidelines [1] have changed recently [2], and we're now using a new format shared with Debian [3]. I've updated the patch to use the new format.

Accepted transmission into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

What about the latest bug-fix version 1.76? I have installed it from
source code.

We already have the most important bug fixes from 1.76 backported to our
current 1.75 version, so updating to 1.76 wouldn't really provide any
benefit (this bug isn't even fixed in 1.76 anyway). Please test the
version uploaded to karmic-proposed using the test-case provided.

My PPA has beta3: https://launchpad.net/~stownsend42/+archive/transmission-beta

The karmic-proposed version has been superseded by 1.75-0ubuntu2.2 in http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-885-1.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and I still have this problem: both gnome-session-save and lid close results in laptop suspend even if a torrent is active.

This bug is shown again on Ubuntu 10.10. Here is the upstream bug with fix: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3639
