My set-up --
Fedora Core 3 Slimserver 6.0.1 Softsqueeze 2.0b3
I've run SoftSqueeze successfully (from the command line) since getting my squeezebox. (I struggled a bit early on, but found help in the 1/8/05 thread in this discussion list with the subject "[slim] help with running softsqueeze on linux.")
I went through a blip when I upgraded to version 6.0
betas and nightlies -- at one stage Softsqueeze ran and played the music at chipmunk speed, and at another time it would appear to be running but I wouldn't get sound and the on-screen display would go blank when I turned it off using the on-screen remote power button.
However, earlier this week I installed slimserver 6.0.1 and Softsqueeze 2.0b3 and Softsqueeze worked. It was great.
Then, two nights ago I decided to give MusicMagicMixer a try. I installed it successfully, but when I tried to run it I got an error message indicating I needed to set the JAVA_HOME environment. I did that by creating the file /etc/profile.d/java.sh:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_07 export J2RE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$J2RE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Now MusicMagicMixer works great, but SoftSqueeze is back to what appears to be its earlier behavior - the program loads, I can use the on-screen remote to select music, both the softsqueeze display and the web UI show that a song is playing, but I get nothing but silence. And the display goes blank when I turn off SoftSqueeze. This is true both when I run Softsqueeze from a command prompt and when I run it in the web applet.
I suspect this is operator error -- probably related to the /etc/profile.d/java.sh file? -- but I can't sort it out. (I tried moving the java.sh file and rebooting -- that broke MusicMagicMixer but it didn't get Softsqueeze back.) Any help?
One other thing -- I've done the alternatives setting for FC3 java (following instructions at http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_3_installation_notes.html).
