Comment (by lyckeleb):
SITUATION :
OS : Ubuntu 20.04.1 (xubuntu-desktop)
PPA : "ppa:deluge-team/stable"
To start deluge as a daemon, I created a systemd service file
"/etc/systemd/system/deluged.service" containing
ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged --port=56789 --do-not-daemonize
--pidfile=/tmp/deluged.pid
This gives the fatal failure "TypeError: a bytes-like object is required,
not 'str'" on starting the service.
-----------
WORKAROUND :
Remove the "--pidfile=/tmp/deluged.pid" from ExecStart.
---------------
CAUSE:
The file "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/deluge/argparserbase.py" contains
{{{
326 # Write pid file before chuid
327 if options.pidfile:
328 with open(options.pidfile, 'wb') as _file:
329 _file.write('%d\n' % os.getpid())
}}}
Line 328 enforces BINARY WRITES to the PID-file.
But a string will be written in line 329.
This causes a write-error (and ultimately the fatal failure).
---------------------
SOLUTION :
Change line 328 in
{{{
328 with open(options.pidfile, 'w') as _file:
}}}
The 'wb' is changed in 'w'. :)
