I am using Linux Ubuntu 6.10 with all updates applied.

After rebooting the machine slimserver seems to be working fine.  I
have not reinstalled it yet.  I have even moved the Squeezebox 3 from
one physical location on the network to another, and it started up fine
at the new place, and it is now playing music.

I think the following shows the primary slimserver directory.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/share/slimserver
alienbbc-linux-v1.06_6.5.tar.gz  Graphics  lib      revision.txt
Bin                              HTML      MySQL    SQL
Firmware                         IR        Plugins  strings.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

And I think this shows the contents of the Plugins directory

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/share/slimserver/Plugins/
Alien         iTunes      Podcast         Rhapsody         
SlimTris.pm
Bin           Live365     PreventStandby  RPC.pm            Snow.pm

The issue of userid is a bit weird on Ubuntu.  There is no root user
when you install the desktop version of Ubuntu.  So to install AlienBBC
I have to use this command:

sudo tar -xvzf alienbbc-linux-v1.06_6.5.tar.gz 

I don't know what this does to permissions and other attributes as the
command executes.

I did not have mplayer installed.  So I downloaded it from the Ubuntu
repository.

At this point I stopped and started slimserver.  That seemed to work as
expected.

Unfortunately, when I access slimserver through Firefox I don't see any
indication that an Alien BBC plugin is available.  I don't know what I
should see, so this is still a bit of a detective game for me.
