Re: [slim] Daily Squeezecenter crash
ok, was worth a try. If it were my setup then I'd start with disabling all the plugins. That way you can isolate it to a SC problem or a third-party problem. Not for apportioning blame, but just to help narrow it down.

[slim] Daily Squeezecenter crash
This has been happening for ages, and it doesn't seem to affect the normal running of the system, but I thought I'd finally try and figure out what's going on... I'm running Squeezecenter 7.3.2 on an Ubuntu machine. Every day (well, every 24hours and 3mins to be exact - you could set your watch by it), there's a segfault in squeezecenter-server. In fact there's a sequence of 7 segfaults, one every 30 seconds. Then they stop, only to repeat the next day. I note that the elapsed time for 7 failures 30 seconds apart is 3 mins, so presumbly whatever it is that causes the segfaults gets rescheduled for the next day after the 7 failures - hence the fact it happens every 24 hours and 3 mins. Clearly Squeezecenter (or perhaps a plugin?) is trying to do something once a day, and gives up after 7 failures. I have Software Updates and Library Rescanning switched OFF. Two questions: 1. What debug flags can I set to try and get more info about what's happening? 2. How do I actually switch on the appropriate debug settings on an Ubuntu installation? Finally: please don't suggest that I upgrade to a newer version of Squeezebox Server - the system is working fine (apart from this one weirdness) and I'm not inclined to go through the hassle of updating on the offchance it will fix this one tiny glitch. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77160 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Daily Squeezecenter crash
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions (guesses?) I was hoping that what needs to be done is to switch on the appropriate debug logging. What I'm unclear about is how that is done. Do I just do it via the Squeezecenter web interface (Settings Advanced Logging)? And if so, which ones would people suggest might be worth switching on? Does Squeezecenter need to be restarted after changing a log level? Mind you, they are all set to error anyway, and presumably a segfault is at least an error - but I see nothing in the logs corresponding to the times of the segfaults. My guess is that the segfault just kills the process, and it never gets a chance to write a log entry. It's obvious from dmesg that whatever is crashing has a different process ID each time. Anyone here know what daily procedures Squeezecenter performs that it does by forking? That would at least narrow it down. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77160 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
