Hi!

So this still doesn't work, is there any progress to make transmission
work in systemd?

This is the only component that is broken on my jessie system after
switching.

I suspect this is related to the home directory as well, a problem which
was also reported here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734467

I tried the workarounds proposed in the bug report:

 1. changing the user in the service file
 2. changing the home directory (sudo usermod debian-transmission -d 
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/)
 3. adding -g to the service file

step 1 changes the error from 127 to 11 (segfault), but nothing allows
the service to start.

removing the .service file completely works, oddly enough, because
systemd then uses the /etc/init.d file. service transmission-daemon
start never returns however, which seems to be a problem.

But at least there's a way to start it.

Note that there's an upstream bug for dashes in usernames:

 * https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755
 * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71578

It would be important to have transmission work properly with systemd,
now that everyone seems to be jumping ship (including Ubuntu!).
