Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS service running on Ubuntu 16.04, but not reachable

What about controlling the IP address via your router by using a
reserved lease? I don't set static ip's for my servers anymore and do it
all from the router.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] UPnP/DLNA vs UPnP/DLNA in LMS?

2021-04-28 Thread fletch


Yes I restarted but it is very slow about even prompting you to do it. I
was walking away , getting a coffee refill and sometimes it was ready
for reboot, sometimes not.

It's the bridge version. I do have the other one and it works fine.



update: I just got home and the bridge was not shown in the plugin
section but it was showing as an available as an update just like
before. Before I left for work, it would  hang the system if I tried to
update but now it updated very quickly and will now let me configure it.
So I think I am good now.

Guessing this was a network issue . I also have the airbridge and it had
an update this morning. It was also very slow but it did successfully.

Thanks...

How do I manually uninstall this plugin?

Not sure what is going on  but when I attempted to install it the system
hangs and after about 5 min I get control back.
Now it shows up as update available at top but doesn't show up in the
plugin area so there is no way to configure or remove it.

This may be some kind of network error (hopefully) and I will check
again when I get home from work.

There's also no reason why you can't run the system's mysqld for other

Why can't you use whatever the latest CC perl RPM is?

Assuming you can't, take a look at the RPM spec file for the latest CC
RPM and compare the configure options to the ones you used for your
home built perl.  I don't recall which option it is, but from your
error message it appears that your perl is looking for SC in a
different place than where the perl RPM would look.

I'm not really sure what's going on here.  I admit that I haven't
personally tested the latest SC with F10, but I'm not aware of any
changes in either SC or SELinux that would break things.  This is also
the only report of this specific failure that I've seen.  I'll have to
install F10 and test, but I'm not sure how soon I'll get to it.

I'm not going to give any advice about whether SELinux is really
necessary other to say that I personally turn it off.  However, the RPM
really should work with it on.  If you don't want to turn it off, then
you can try the SELinux commands in post #11.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezecenter 7.3.2 in openSUSE 11.1 installs but can't access

2009-02-15 Thread Fletch

All of the Linux builds, including the RPM, have certain binary perl
modules included.  Unfortunately, they are only included for i386 and
x86_64.  You can browse these under the
/usr/share/squeezecenter/CPAN/arch directory.  You need to get or build
these modules for PPC.  One option is to run build-perl-modules.pl which
is in the /usr/share/squeezecenter/Bin directory.  If your Linux install
has all the necessary build tools installed, this should build
everything you need except GD which you can probably get via an RPM. 
Your other option is to try to get everything you need via a PPC RPM. 
If you edit the SqueezeCenter sysconfig file to start using the
--d_startup debug flag, you will get output that clearly lists what you
are missing and you can go find them one at a time.

Note that you will also encounter issues because there are other
binaries such as flac and sox under /usr/share/squeezecenter/Bin that
are only compiled for i386.

I've never gone through this exercise myself, so I'm not sure which
path is the easiest.  Maybe someone else with specific experience will
chime in.  Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux beginner question

2009-02-15 Thread Fletch

The RPM doesn't add anything to the GUI menus because it is installed as
a system daemon and not as a user program.  If everything went
correctly, it should have been started as part of the RPM install and
you should be able to check by going to http://localhost:9000.  It
should also be configured to automatically start on any system reboot.

If you want to manually start and stop it, usethe following as root or
with sudo:
/sbin/service squeezecenter start
/sbin/service squeezecenter stop

I should probably add this to the wiki...

Fedora 9 enables the firewall by default.  SC uses the following:

Either turn off the firewall or open those ports.

If you really want to rebuild the RPM to with different install

Fedora has made minor changes to killproc and other functions over time

There are some kludges in the SC RPM init script to support CentOS 4,
but nothing older than that.  I'd rather not add another workaround to
support a distro that went EOL more than 2 years ago.

If you want to look into this yourself, take a look at

status between FC4 and a current Fedora release.  That should give you
some clues.

 This will happen (I think) if you somehow have both an old slimserver
 RPM and a new squeezecenter RPM installed at the same time.  This may
 be because you previously did an upgrade from Slimserver using rpm
 -ivh instead of rpm -Uvh.  Check to see if a slimserver RPM is still
 installed and, if so, manually remove it.  Then try to reinstall the
 latest squeezecenter RPM.

No problem.  Now that this is fixed, you should be able to upgrade from
any SC 7.x RPM to a newer version without having to remove the old RPM
or manually delete anything.  Just an rpm -Uvh ... will do.  If you
think this is not the case, please file bugs.

For the RPM, you don't need to anything special.  Just upgrade with rpm

I don't run a Mandriva server - I just tested to make sure the RPM will

install and run.

- Make sure you have the mysql server installed properly.  If you have,
you will no longer get the error about missing /usr/bin/mysqld_safe when
installing SC
- Install the 7.1 RPM.  It should start automatically.  If you need to
start it manually, do /etc/init.d/squeezecenter start as root.
- Try to connect to SC by pointing a browser to http://localhost:9000
- If that doesn't work, see if it's running by doing ps -ef | grep
squeeze.  You should see SC plus it's instances of mysqld and
mDNSResponder
- If it appears to not be running look for errors in
/var/log/squeezecenter/server.log

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SqueezeCenter doesn't run on Mandriva2008

2008-08-17 Thread Fletch

FYI:

Older versions of Mandriva were a PITA because they used a non-threaded
perl which meant that none of the precompiled perl binary modules would
work and you would get various messages about missing modules and the
need to run build-perl-modules.pl.  As noted above, that was even more
of a pain because none of the usual Linux build tools are installed by
default.

This issue went away when Mandriva switched to a threaded perl.  I
thought this was with 2008.0, but perhaps it wasn't until 2008.1.

Note also that 2008.1 uses perl 5.10 which is only supported in SC 7.1
or greater.

Anyway, glad you got it working.

The RPM should work fine with Mandriva without needing to install or

and what version of the SC RPM are you using?  I've tested recently
with 2008.1 (perl 5.10) and SC 7.1 and had no problems.  I can't recall
whether I tested recently with 2008.0.

FYI, more info on the RPM is available at

Try the Ubuntu live CD - I'm sure it has ssh enabled and may have a vnc

There is a way to configure fsck to not run at boot up, but I can't
remember which file it is.  I wouldn't bother though, because most of
the time fsck will run unattended - it'll just take longer to boot.  In
the (hopefully rare) case where your filesystem is really corrupt and

monitor and keyboard anyway...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Install SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 Ubuntu 8.04

2008-06-30 Thread Fletch

A pid file is not binary - it's just a text file containing the pid.  In
any event, you shouldn't have to manually create it unless you are doing
something wrong or your install is broken.

Are you running /etc/init.d/squeezecenter start as root?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SqueezeCenter on Mandriva 2007 - solution

2008-06-29 Thread Fletch

Wow, it really shouldn't be this hard...  I don't use Mandriva as my
regular server, but I've done a bit of testing and have a few
comments:

cfseibert;315864 Wrote: 
 My system uses Mandriva 2007, but this general approach might be helpful
 for others using distributions that don't play nice

- It's important to note that at some point (probably with the
introduction of 2008.0) Mandriva switched from a non-threaded perl to a
threaded perl.  This is important because SC only includes binary perl
modules for threaded perl.  With the older non-threaded perl, you need
to install those modules from CPAN, the Mandriva repos or by running
build-perl-modules.pl.  This is no longer necessary with the latest
Mandriva release.

- It's also worth noting that, at least in older Mandriva releases,
it's a PITA to compile anything because the standard install doesn't
include any of the normal linux build tools.

 I found a forum message that suggested trying the tarball version if the
 RPM version should be frustrating. The situation qualified, so I gave it
 a try.
 
 The tarball version turns out to have all the Perl modules built and in
 directories in the tarball.

-Can you be more specific?  There should not be any perl modules
included in the tarball that are not also in the RPM.

 The tarball version of the server started right up for me, but when it
 came time to run scanner, scanner complained that Perl module
 ZLIB::Compress was installed but was a version that was not compatible
 with SqueezeCenter. The version it wanted was the same as the one
 installed. Most vexing.

- I have seen similar problems with the SC module version checking on
various versions of Mandriva, but I don't know what the problem is.

 About that user: The user can't be root. If you're upgrading, check your
 users and use the one you already have, probably slimserver. If you
 don't already have a user, just make a new one. Copy the format of your
 other system users. It doesn't need login privileges, although I gave it
 a login shell just so I could su to it to test starting the server by
 hand. Make its home directory the SqueezeCenter home directory - the
 one slimserver.pl lives in. Call it whatever you want. You don't need
 to remember its password. I should remove its login privilege now that
 I don't need it anymore.

- If you install the RPM, the squeezecenter user is created with:

useradd -r -g squeezecenter -d /usr/share/squeezecenter -s
/sbin/nologin -c SqueezeCenter Music Server squeezecenter

 In the init script itself (/etc/rc.d/init.d on Mandriva), the only thing
 I had to do was change the name of the server executable from
 squeezecenter.pl to slimserver.pl. I assume it's squeezecenter in
 the RPM version from which I grabbed my init script, but it's
 slimserver.pl in the tarball.

- The RPM uses squeezecenter-server and squeezecenter-scanner.

 1. If the RPM version doesn't work, use the tarball version of the
 server.

- As I mentioned earlier, there should be no files or functionality
present in the tarball but missing in the RPM.  If there is, it's a bug
and I'd prefer to fix the RPM. 

- Also, I recently did a test install of the SC 7.1 RPM on Mandriva
2008 Spring.  It was pretty painless.  You do not need to run
build-perl-modules.pl or install anything from CPAN.  The only issue I
saw was that you need to install perl-CGI from the Mandriva CC (this is
due to the version checking issue mentioned above).  Otherwise you do
not need to do anything other than install the RPM.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Installing SC 7.1 on Mandriva 2008 Spring One. Help needed

2008-06-15 Thread Fletch

I don't use Mandriva, but this is almost certainly due to a default
firewall setup.  There must be something in the Control Center (I think
that's what Mandriva calls it) that can turn off the firewall.  If that
works, you can then figure out how to turn it back on and only open the
necessary ports.

When I have time I'll investigate the perl-CGI dependency issue and see
if this is something that should be fixed in the RPM (or at least
documented on the wiki).

FC3 is quite old.  The SC7 RPM has been tested with the current versions

that the FC3 mysql-server package is structured differently.  If you're
