This isn't the appliance image; it's a clean CentOS install with Rivendell 
installed from a repository - but if you're familiar with Ubuntu (the Debian 
Way™), you'll find that CentOS (which is essentially identical to Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux) you'll find some differences.

Our trouble with Debian and Rivendell was mostly in getting sound output to 
work reliably, though there were also issues with regards to SQL. We switched 
back to CentOS and it's been smooth since then (bar a couple of issues, for 
which there have been workarounds). I don't recognize the issue you describe, 
but you can file an issue on GitHub - you may find the problem will go away on 
CentOS.

Kind regards

That's really helpful, John, thanks. I'll try that asap.

I did, in fact, use the Rivendell/Paravel combined download, but it seemed full 
of ads, plus a Terminal warning whenever I made an error that said "this has 
been reported". Probably a joke, but disconcerting when you are already out of 
your depth!

I did actually get Rivendell working on Ubuntu 14, using the Radio Tools guide 
and I might have stuck with that had I not got an operatring issue which I 
couldn't search any help on (I didn't know about this forum then). It was this: 
when I populated the grid with the test template, no matter what I did, it only 
saved Monday 00 until Thu 12! Nothing I could do would make it save any 
template later than that. I wonder if you have ever come across that issue?

I really like the idea of what Rivendell stands for (on Station Playlist at the 
moment), so many thanks

In my experience, don't bother trying Ubuntu or other Debian derivatives in 
production - use CentOS instead. We tried it with Debian 8 and it was pretty 
poor, but on CentOS 7 it's worked a treat!

Follow

for a rough guide, but you may need to do your own configuration customisations.

I have tried all sorts of ways to install Ubuntu and Rivendell and every time 
it looks as though Linux might be OK after all, I run something that doesn't 
work! Using Tec Whisperer's excellent guide, all went well until I tried
to install Rivendell itself. I just got this:

sudo apt-get install rivendell-server rivendell
Reading package lists...
Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information...
Done
E: Unable to locate package rivendell-server
E: Unable to locate package rivendell

Can anyone help?
Many hanks
