SABnzbd Forums

sabnzbd doesn't start when my system boots.  The script will work if i run it directly.  

Version: 0.5.6
OS: ubuntu 10.10
Install-type: linux repository
Skin: default dark blue
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

Every time i boot my system in to ubuntu, tty7 shows this output (i have to gdm stop to see it).  However if i start the script manually later it runs fine.. as does starting it from the application menus.

* Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber

What user are you attempting to run sabnzbd as? Check the contents of  /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

I had USER=spud.  I figured it out.. it was that my home directory was encrypted.  Took FOREVER to figure that out though.  Plus sickbeard ran fine... strange.
