Change user and group to your account and the group that you’re in. Stop NZBGet (if it’s running!) and edit /lib/systemd/system/rvice. Log into the web console and in the security section/DaemonUsername field, change it to your account (or whatever account you want it to run under, don’t leave it running under nzbget…unless you like banging your head into the wall in frustration like I did and waste your time chasing down permission issues.) Make sure to add sonarr to the groups ‘users’ AND ‘wheel’! Leave it running under the ‘sonarr’ user account. I think everything centered around NZBGet being the main problem!? Just in case somebody else (far into the future) has the same issue, what I did to fix things was:ĭon’t mess with any Sonarr settings. Maybe I need to go about switching everything to run as me? I’m pretty sure this would fix my problem. Which right now, I don’t.ĮDIT: I noticed in Mint, all these programs (well, at least I think so) run under MY account instead of separate ones like in Arch.

Before I do anything, I setup Antergos on a spare PC to make sure I have the flow all working correctly. I think part of my frustration is I’m getting ready to move from Mint to Antergos and I don’t recall having this much difficult getting this same setup working in Mint. If all these users belong to the same group, why can’t they all get along and this all just work?! This is a case of me not being able to see the forest for the trees.

Sonarr is the owner of the NCIS/Season X folder but it’s empty because Sonarr can’t rename/move it in there. When I right click on the NCIS folder that just downloaded, it has a padlock on it and shows that nzbget is the owner. When Sonarr tells NZBGet to grab a show, the show is downloaded and placed in /TV Shows but it never gets renamed and placed into the season folder in that directory. (By my logic, if these users all belong to the same group as my account, they should be able to interact with the files/folders WITHIN that group that my account belongs to, or not?! My brain is fried right now and my kid is busting my chops NON-STOP to play Mario Kart so I’ve been trying to figure this out and get my head straight to post here so please forgive my ramblings.) I have issued the commands to add users plex, nzbget and sonarr to the ‘users’ group. I can go into that folder and create/rename/delete whatever. TV Shows is owned by ‘gene’ and my account is in the ‘users’ group. When I add a show in Sonarr, NZBGet downloads it but I get ‘access denied’ when it attempts to import/rename it. Everything is setup and configured (program wise).

I know the solution to my problem is something really stupid I’m overlooking but after a few hours of pounding my head into the freaking wall, I have no idea how to get this working and need to ask for help. If you want to run it as the 'nzbget' user as in the wiki, presumably so nzbget can't touch the rest of /home/me, you really have to make sure this user can at least access the Downloads/NZBGet subdirectory.Couldn’t import episode /TV Shows/5.1.H.264-tek54m-postbot/69c04ee5440a44f290db6ffe78611952.mkv: Access to the path is denied.įirst off, I’m a dumb Linux newbie. Then I would also put the config in /home/me/.config/nzbget (and even for a system service, I wonder why the wiki uses /var/lib instead of /etc).

It would actually be easier to simply run nzbget as 'me' (the redacted username). If it's not enough to solve it, it should at least help you gather more relevant info to post here. This is mentioned in both of the other threads and at least the Arch BBS one should've given you clues about how to check permissions (and, in post #6, what to pay extra attention to) if you didn't know that yet. The errors likely indicate permission issues. The first reddit link doesn't seem too relevant. Following a page on the wiki almost always means choosing one out of several options and filling in details, so you'd need to be more specific. Well, information about the setup seems a little lacking and some of the information is buried in images even though it's just textual error messages and commands you ran in Konsole.
