Bug Description
DESCRIPTION
*************
Starting in Oneiric, it is not possible to run more than one Transmission process (e.g., transmission-gtk or transmission-
In my case, I have two user accounts that both use transmission-gtk and I also run one instance of transmission-daemon for downloading torrents when I'm not logged-in. The transmission-daemon is started first at system boot and thus works, whereas the two user accounts are both unable to use transmission-gtk.
WORKAROUND
***************
By enabling the "Pick a random port" option in Edit -> Preferences -> Network.
RELEVANT DETAILS
*******************
