Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server on Ubuntu 20.04
Same here. I have a headless ubuntu server, starting like 2009 and since then upgrading from LTS to LTS, now its 20.04. Similar, i run squeezeboxserver on it, also since like 2009, which now was upgraded from 7.9.1 to the nightly build v8.0.1, 1608617100 in 64bit, installed with dpkg -i and the all-debian file. Giving that "dpkg"-command in a SSH-shell was the only thing I had to do after upgrading ubuntu itself with the usual do-release-upgrade. I even had that guide with the init.d-script already ready in my browser but didn't need it after all. So far, it works perfekt and feels almost like the 7.9.1 I ran before. Since I use radios, the server showed me that mini how-to regarding installing the "version fix patch" on them, which also worked withouth issues. Thx for your work!

This is a no-op under systemd, but would have the effect of starting LMS as late as possible on the "SysV-style init" used on Debian/Ubuntu.

I also run a custom perl. This is the best way to avoid OS updates from breaking things. Anyway. It looks like there are 2 issues in this thread. 1) Install broken on some systems. 2) LMS starts before the internet is reachable. #2 is a problem we run into on pCP, as network routers are very slow to startup, and pCP is booting in 15-30 seconds. We deal with that by waiting for the time to get set to start LMS. The concern here is there is not a site that is "reachable from everywhere" We use google with pCP, and that fails quite a bit from some parts of the world. So how would we "choose" a common site for a standard install script? As for fixing #1 would there be a reason to not convert everything to normal systemd? piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

As upstart is not used anymore in Ubuntu in favor of systemd, the effort in solving this should indeed be put into a systemd unit file. As I am not a coder or scripter I was never able to solve it properly myself, so hopefully somebody can come up with something which can be incorporated in the official LMS packages. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

A "proper" solution for systemd might be to re-examine and rewrite the logic of the Debian init scripts into a systemd unit file. In the process addressing/eliminating the quirky squeezeboxserver_safe script. As a hack to try out one could install a modified version of the existing auto-generated service unit, and add a 'network-online' dependency to it. It could look something like: Code: [Unit] SourcePath=/etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver Description=LSB: Startup script for the Logitech Media Server Before=multi-user.target Before=graphical.target After=all.target After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=forking Restart=no TimeoutSec=5min IgnoreSIGPIPE=no KillMode=process GuessMainPID=no RemainAfterExit=yes SuccessExitStatus=5 6 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start ExecStop=/etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver stop This is based on the auto-generated file -/run/systemd/generator.late/logitechmediaserver.service-, but I have added the two 'network-online.target' lines with the intention of preventing LMS from starting before the network. The revised unit file should be saved as -/etc/systemd/system/logitechmediaserver.service-, and the system restarted. It works on my Debian system, but I have not tested that it actually solves the network problem that it seeks to address, simply because I don't have the problem. mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Or some other solution. As a follow-up: I was worried enough about some of the reports here to pause my planned upgrade of my main server from Ubuntu 18.04.5 to 20.04.1 while I tested a fresh install of Ubuntu (server version) on an IntelNUC I had available. On the IntelNUC machine: 1) after OS install, I installed nfs-common and mounted the music files residing on my main server over NFS and made sure it was working ok. Nothing else was installed. 2) I downloaded LMS (logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1602486506_amd64.deb) using wget 3) installed with "sudo -i ", but that failed with unresolved dependency for libio-socket-ssl-perl 4) "apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl" also failed because of unresolved dependencies, but "apt --fix-broken install" was recommended. 5) running "apt --fix-broken install" resolved all issues; a handful of other packages were downloaded and installed in addition to libio-socket-ssl-perl, but unfortunately I didn't make a note of them :-( After this LMS started nicely using "systemctl start logitechmediaserver". No problem with start-stop-daemon, it was there - installed as part of the OS-package (package lsb-base). (I suspect alex.h's problems arose from a failed OS update?) I then ran LMS on the IntelNUC for 2-3 days to make sure there were no other sissues, but none appeared. I then upgraded my main server to Ubuntu 20.04.1, and much to my relief the upgrade went fine and LMS worked as before. (My main server is very old, cirka 2007 I believe. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in 2013 and since I have upgraded to 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 18.04, so it has most likely picked up a lot of entropy in terms of old and unsupported packages etc. OS upgrades don't remove packages that are installed outside the package manager.) If there is any interest in what extra packages were installed when running "apt --fix-broken install", I'd be happy to retrace my steps and massage the IntelNUC with a new fresh install. 2 Touch, 2 Picoreplayer v6.1.0 on RaspBerry 3B LMS 8.0.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 on Intel Core2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20GHz, 2GB.

Tonight I have done an upgrade from Xubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 on one of my machines as a test. After the upgrade LMS 7.9.3 is still installable and running without issues or manual Linux configuration. It can also be started and stopped without problems. So I guess the OP's system is indeed missing some compatibility INIT packages as I suggested above. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I would bet, there will be a package available when you want to install. There are some packages for 18.04 and the maintainer did some customisation for ubuntu. alex.h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70188 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I plan to upgrade my Xubuntu 18.04LTS installations to 20.04 when the first point release is there, and my first impression when reading this thread is that it should be possible to install some compatibility packages to run applications / services with classic init scripts. Have you looked into this option? On a sidenote: in my opinion the time has come to seriously consider using LMS in a container when running it on regular Linux installations based upon Ubuntu f.e..

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server on Ubuntu 20.04
I posted this already to 'askubuntu.com' (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1188506/how-to-install-logitech-media-server-squeezebox-server) and the 'ubuntu forum' (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2443133) but maybe it is of interest here too. I could not register to his forum when I succeeded solving my problem to post this guide here in the first place. I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and that broke my installation but I figured out how to make it work again: After some tempering around, I considered to do a fresh install. So I deleted the old stuff in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ Then I got me a fresh deb-packet from: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=8.0 Personally I used the version for the most plattforms but depending on plattform just select a fitting deb: Code: wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nig...180193_all.deb I Installed it with: Code: dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_8.0.0_1588799628_all.deb As I tried older versions too and even tried a git checkout I hope I lack no detail another script has already done for me without noticing it. If the dpkg installation not already added a user and group please do so: Code: adduser squeezeboxserver usermod -a -G squeezeboxserver squeezeboxserver Create a directory for the pid file: Code: mkdir /var/run/logitechmediaserver And give it to that user and group: Code: chown squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /var/run/logitechmediaserver Same goes for the stuff in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ Code: chown squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /var/lib/squeezeboxserver chown -R squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/* The problem comes with the startup script in /etc/init.d. It simply does not work, as Ubuntu 20.04 does not have the start-stop-daemon any more. It is simply linked to /bin/true which might work for some scripts but does not work for the logitechmediaserver. I tried a C implementation for this program, but it had it hinges so I dropped the start-stop-daemon and modified the startup program arcordingly. Just store the old startup script away (just to be save) and paste the attachment into an editor of your choice on your server or simply copy it to your filesystem and remove that .txt postfix. Without it, I could not upload it. That script is not pretty, but it does the job for me and will hopefully help you too. You have to place it in /etc/init.d under the name logitechmediaserver After that you have to run the following command to make systemctl happy: Code: systemctl daemon-reload Just give it a test run with starting it: Code: /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start You should be able to log in with your webbrowser to http://YourServerIP:9000/ and configure it. 30266 And test if it does shut down again: Code: /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver stop When everything has worked out, enable the service: Code: systemctl enable logitechmediaserver.service +---+ |Filename: logitechmediaserver.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30266| +---+ alex.h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70188 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
