Arch updated Python to 3.12, you need to re-build/re-install python-sabyenc3 and python-sabctools!

Using paru:

paru -S python-sabyenc3 python-sabctools --rebuild

@hoban, thanks for reminding me to post about this!

Mine was still set to /opt/sabnzbd, so I got to test it. You can't change it while running, so I think most will get the error and be told to do it themselves after stopping.

$ cat /etc/passwd | grep sab
sabnzbd:x:977:977:SABnzbd user:/opt/sabnzbd:/sbin/nologin

I think you indeed need to run usermod as well.

@mhicklen: Can you confirm the user's homedir isn't getting changed? The package is using sabnzbd.sysusers, so I'd think that would override?

fryfrog commented on 2020-08-09 06:00 (UTC)

@francoism90: That is a good idea, I switched to cp to get the folders to /var/lib/sabnzbd and then just added .saved to the files/folders left in /opt. That way they can't accidentally overwrite the new files in /var/lib/sabnzbd and anything running from /opt/sabnzbd will stop working still.

I would suggest to use cp instead of moving the config files to the new location and/or maybe just copy everything as SAB should convert does if I'm not mistaking.

@fryfrog I ran into some issues.

I think we'll need a usermod to update the homedir for the user.

I think we'll also need a way of ensuring that things get moved or copied over proper. I lost all my settings, and my custom postprocessing scripts weren't brought over, either.

I'm having trouble with the new version now -- I've blown it completely away from the disk and reinstalled and I can't get it to start up, even when dropping into a shell for the user. The python script doesn't output anything. Will continue to tinker.

@fryfrog

You can forget this, it works !

I changed the Group=%I to Group=users

I don't known why it worked before and just stopped, and if its related to systemd or sabnzbd.

@fryfrog

Here is my old file that do not work anymore, but the ExecStart does work when running in a terminal:

[Unit]
Description=SABnzbd binary newsreader
After=network.target

[Service]
User=%I
Group=users
Type=simple
SyslogIdentifier=sabnzbd
ExecStart=/usr/lib/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py --logging 0 --browser 0 --config-file /home/%I/.sabnzbd.ini

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SABnzbd#Running_SABnzbd_as_a_user_w/_systemd

My ~/.sabnzbd.ini is a directory, but the problem isn't there.

@martinm1000: I don't use that method of .service, can you describe a little bit about how you do it and I can try it on mine?
