Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Has anyone done an in-place SS upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04-7.10?

2007-10-21 Thread PeterDB

I did upgrade and had a SS and SC perfectly running, except my LAN and
load times in my browsers was extremely slow.

A lot of users are reporting on the Ubuntu forums, that they have the
same issues. The main thread being
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=358893.

This seems to be an issue with routers/modems not fully supporting
IPv6. Disabling IPv6 support in 7.10 solves this for users that have
tested it.

I want to retest on a test machine to be sure, that I dont mess up my
SC machine again.

On top of this, 7.10 is more efficient at pushing restricted drivers on
you, like the nVidia drivers. Unfortunately, these restricted drivers
are not well maintained for legacy devices, so on my SC server which
has a nVidia Vanta card, the graphics were messed up, removing the
restricted drivers, solved this.

But, as for me, I am back at 7.04 again, since I need a stable system
to run my SC on. Im holding off for a few months, before I make the
step.

/Peter

[SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble with AlienBBC

2007-10-21 Thread GlennBooth

Hi All,

I'm hoping for some help getting AlienBBC working on my Ubuntu 6.06
install. I've looked at a couple of sets of instructions, but no joy so
far.

The system specs look like this:

SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - utf8
Server IP address: 192.168.1.240
Perl Version: 5.8.7 i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
MySQL Version: 4.1.15-Debian_1ubuntu5

I installed mplayer (from the Ubuntu multiverse repo), and made sure
that mplayer.sh is executable. I extracted the tarball into
/usr/share/slimserver, and changed the file perms so that the .pm files
are executable, but I don't see the plugin in server settings/plugins.

I seem to have an issue when starting/stopping slimserver, in that I'm
seeing a Perl error - I've no idea if it's related to the plugin
problem.

/home/glenn/Cache/my.cnf: Permission denied at
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Utils/MySQLHelper.pm line 178.
2007-10-21 12:22:02.4036 Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Utils/MySQLHelper.pm line 467.

Can anyone help with things to check to find out where/how I messed
up?

Many thanks,

Glenn.

Does this really work?  I thought the minimum mysql version was
5.0.22.

 I installed mplayer (from the Ubuntu multiverse repo), and made sure
 that mplayer.sh is executable. I extracted the tarball into
 /usr/share/slimserver, and changed the file perms so that the .pm files

It should show up under Internet Radio, not Plugins.

 Hello,
 
 I'm attempting to build my own Kernel for my Debian SlimServer box.
 Using the latest kernel source from kernel.org (2.6.23.1) resulted in a
 non-working system.
 
 Which kernel source should I be using ???
 
 Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
I am actually running a self compiled kernel of this version :P

What is the exact problem here?

Probably because you compiled your own flac builds.  Just kidding...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Fedora 7

 I recently installed SlimServer on Fedora 7

Same here, except I could already see slimserver was running with the
ps command (and have now added /sbin to my path to get service to
work [SE Linux is disabled]).

What I'm stuck on is the UI. After the Windows install the UI
'magically' appears in my browser, but I can't figure out how to get
teh equivalent page on my Fedora system.

Any help?

AFAIK Audacious is a fork from XMMS.  I don't think there has been much
happening on the XMMS front so this is probably a good thing.

I'm not sure I'm understanding you. I use my debian box exactly as an
appliance. I never touch it. But I use the standard distro, kernel on up.

Unless your box is seriously under powered, why bother?

Of course, as an educational experiment, go for it.
