Not working for Ubuntu 12.04

[ghost]

I've followed the instructions to the letter* but the .desktop link doesn't launch unless I right-click and choose to start with torrents paused. Even then, the emblem/progress bar doesn't show. (update: I didn't follow them correctly. The Exec part of the .desktop file had an error. Now the application launches but I still don't get the emblems).

Running the script from the terminal outputs this: jarlath@jarlath-EP35-DS3:~/bin$ ./transmission-unity-launcher.py usage: transmission-unity-launcher.py [-h] [-l LAUNCHER_ENTRY_NAME] [-H TRANSMISSION_HOST] [-p TRANSMISSION_PORT] [-U TRANSMISSION_USER] [-P TRANSMISSION_PASSWORD] [-t STARTUP_TIMEOUT] [-u UPDATE_INTERVAL] transmission_command [transmission_command ...] transmission-unity-launcher.py: error: too few arguments

You have to provide transmission binary name, like this:

./transmission-unity-launcher.py transmission-gtk

Please, run it and show script output.

Ah, okay. Here's the output of two command variations I tried. After running both of these, the launcher now works as expected. I didn't change any file contents and have no idea why only now it works:

FIRST COMMAND: jarlath@jarlath-EP35-DS3:~/bin$ ./transmission-unity-launcher.py /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop INFO:root:Transmission started (pid: 11912). /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 2: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: [Desktop: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 4: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: Client: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 5: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: X-GNOME-FullName=Transmission: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 6: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: X-GNOME-FullName[ar]=ترانزميشن،: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 7: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: X-GNOME-FullName[ast]=Cliente: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 8: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: X-GNOME-FullName[be]=BitTorrent-кліент: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 9: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: X-GNOME-FullName[be@latin]=Transmisija,: not found /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: 10: /home/jarlath/.local/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop: Syntax error: "(" unexpected INFO:root:Transmission exited with status 512, exiting.

Ok, so I close issue for now. Reopen if problem reappears.

I tested with a 62GB torrent and only now it is at 3%. Is it possible that an empty emblem isn't shown below 1%?

Never mind. I tested again and my previous comment is irrelevant.
