I got my official Pi 7" touchscreen at Fry's on Saturday so I assume it's reasonably new. I had no idea at the time that there was an available enclosure, so I just had it propped up using the Pi and HiFiBerry Digi+ as the stand. I quickly learned of the existence of the Smart Pi Touch enclosure, so I picked one up the next day. When assembled and placed normally, the cables come out of the bottom. So now I need to see if I can snag a right-angle digital coax. It's a bit too tight for my taste with a normal cable in there. I'm sure setting it up properly is more stable, but I actually didn't mind just turning the whole thing upside down and propping the stand up on a Cubox i4Pro. Because, of course, in my bedroom a have a Cubox i4Pro, a Squeezebox Touch, the above-mentioned Pi B+ and a Wandboard.

The power and audio cables are at the bottom. Everything works perfectly well now with the default rotate setting, but it was a nonsensical process to get there. First boot - upside down. Change to 'rotate screen' and reboot - still upside down. Change back to default and reboot - display is correct.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to LMS after reboot
LMS_safe = 'logitechmediaserver' plus the '_safe' suffix. Which The _safe task is a process watcher which would restart the main task if needed. You should always see both of them, or something's wrong. I think the LMS executable is stored in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to LMS after reboot
Ok I think we are getting away from the point a little here. A couple of things: init.d still works, systemd is required to run non-compliant init.d scripts just like before. Unless someone has modified the LMS startup to deliberately bolt into systemd then its behaviour will still be dictated by the presence or otherwise of files in init.d. Second Telnet is more a generic TCP connection method than a terminal. If port 9000 responds to your web browser, it will respond to telnet. If it doesn't respond to telnet you are pretty sure there's nothing listening on port 9000. Something of course changed, but you need to get a log of a failed LMS startup to debug it. Fwiw my Debian OS on my server has been continuously upgraded since around 2004, through numerous hardware upgrades and I've never had to even consider a fresh install. (There are orphaned config files from a decade ago, seriously. I know, I should clean up, but I now wear this cruft with some pride! :) ) Dpkg is very good at handling upgrades.. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Sure. Let me clarify >> But port 9000 should still be accessible right? When it says refused connection there is something not OK. Regardless of whether you can telnet into that port or not. I upgraded gradually from years back and now I'm on 16.10. Maybe i dragged something along. ??

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to LMS after reboot
Sorry for not being more specific. The system is intel based D510MO board with 2 x1TB disks. LVM configuration. There are no errors in the system logs. LMS_safe = 'logitechmediaserver' plus the '_safe' suffix. Which apparently is needed to reconnect to mysql if I correctly understood the code in the startup script (the one that goes into init.d). Hence my suspicion that the original server had crashed. But since there is no log file I can't tell for sure. I can see LMS is running because it shows in htop and after doing a full apt-get purge i see the scanner is running and the data base is being populated. (so i guess the link to mysql is working). Not sure about the network though, but I have temporarily renamed the startup script in init.d and started LMS manually, alas to no avail. Although starting manually shows a normal version of the server (without the _safe). But still telneting into port 9000 shows connection refused. (9090, 3483s). There is nothing else beside the LMS running on the server except for samba sharing the media directory to my windows machine. Which is no longer connected. And also Webmin is running off port 1. Which by the way is working. (there is no firewall or iptables settings ). Maybe the problem is related to the fact the the overall system configuration dates back to an old 11.04 version that has gradually been upgraded. Although everything else seems to be working and I don't have any errors in the log and there is no /var/log/squeezebox.log or similar.
