Things have been working great for several weeks. I know almost nothing about Linux, but I can follow instructions. Running Ubuntu 14.04. All my favorite shows downloading just fine.
I haven’t played a video game on my PC since installing Ubuntu, so tonight I installed Steam. After looking around for a while at all the games I might buy, and without actually buying any, I realized that my shows for this evening were not downloading. I saw loads of errors. I uninstalled Steam, rebooted, and found still more errors.
Did I break Sonarr by installing Steam? Can I fix it?
This error is typical:
NzbDrone Error Pipeline: Request Failed: Error: ConnectFailure (Connection refused)
System.Net.WebException: Error: ConnectFailure (Connection refused) —> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection refused

Here is another:

Please hastebin debug logs with mono running with the --debug switch, those logs don’t provide enough context to show where its failing or line numbers.
I set logging flag to “debug” and restarted Sonarr. Here part of the log file. I think it is relevant:

Is transmission still running?
Yes, Transmission is still running. It autostarts when I boot the PC.
Doh! Your question got me thinking. I had forgotten completely that I had been investigating Transmission’s preferences, which I had not ever done before, just to see what the various options were. There is an option I changed yesterday just because I thought it looked like a security issue.
Remote > Allow Remote Access
I turned that option off, not realizing that remote access was limited to 127.0.0.1. And then went looking at steam and forgot all about the fact that I had changed a setting.
I should have to write “I will not change default settings without understanding them” a hundred times.
Thank you for your question. It helped me remember what a “genius” I am.
