This issue also occurs on Mandriva. It's not related to any kind of transmission-gtk naming / desktop file / whatever issue for us, as it's never been called that in our package.
I have brought this up with upstream. We believe it's a race condition between Firefox and Transmission. Briefly, from 1.30 on, when Transmission is already running and something runs 'transmission sometorrent.torrent', a second transmission instance spawns, passes the torrent filename on to the first via DBus, then shuts down again. We believe that when it shuts down, Firefox then deletes the .torrent file as it thinks the operation is complete. So if the first instance of Transmission doesn't manage to pick everything up before Firefox deletes the temporary file, the bug happens. Upstream will look at fixing this by passing the entire torrent metainfo over DBus rather than just passing the filename and relying on it still being there for the first instance to look at. Since 1.30 this is actually technically a different bug from what was first reported both here and upstream, just to avoid confusion. -- Transmission doesn't open torrents via Firefox 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
