I think mistrusting updates is a best practice, especially when you have something that works. People are way too eager to embrace the latest update for no benefit whatsoever. This is true with smartphones, computers... and the LMS ecosystem, no matter what OS it runs on. I ran with Ubuntu 12.04 LMS until earlier this year, running it as a VM, which means I can always migrate the environment anywhere, anytime, as long as VMware decides to keep supporting Ubuntu 12 on their VM Workstation/Player apps. Spotify however eventually became irritatingly temperamental, though, which prompted me to experiment with the latest Ubuntu LMS and a latter version of LMS. It has worked great. But note that even though the LMS Web User IF reminds me constantly there is a later version of 7.9.0 available, I have not bothered to update it, nor do I apply any updates to Ubuntu 16.04. Why would I? All that VM is supposed to do is run LMS, and run it as stable as possible, so I don't mess with it. :-) ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 12) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106572 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
