Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need Help getting LMS to run on Ubuntu on Pi 4
I only recently came back to this. Following Ronnie's instructions (thank you for that Ronnie) I got a little further but still no joy. The results I got were different. Whether this is because I'm still using Ubuntu 20.10 or because when I went to install LMS 8.2 it was a different revision, I don't know. As the results were different I decided to remove LMS and start from scratch. But I guess that removing LMS does not remove the account etc. as the new install did not create a new account as shown in Ronnie's install. I am further along in that I can connect to LMS from a browser but then I get stuck at the mysqueezebox login prompt. It seems to be trying to run a wizard but entering my login details does nothing. For some reason mysqueezebox.com appeared to think my password was wrong and it took a number of password reset requests before I got a new password. I can login to mysqueezebox.com from another browser window so clearly the new password is working. But still no joy. Does this mean I need a different account and password for each server? I find it very strange that I need to enter a mysqueezebox.com login before it will run a local wizard. What is the point of that? Anyone got any idea as to what I do now and how I debug this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need Help getting LMS to run on Ubuntu on Pi 4
Thanks guys for your help. Does this mean that LMS wants a specific version of Perl? I really don't know how to interpret it. At least it looks like I wasn't doing anything stupid!

It was downloaded by the Raspberry Pi imager software so I can't provide a link. It is running fine. In fact I am impressed with how well it runs on the Pi which is a Pi 4 with 8GB. I tried the LTS version which is what I really wanted but that would not boot from the SSD. I don't know why but I guess it is just not as up to date as 20.10. MiniDLNA was also a dream to install. My only problem is getting LMS to install. I have followed all the instructions I have found on the Internet and done an uninstall between each attempt. With all of the instructions I have followed I end up with the same result. LMS appears to be installed but dies as soon as it is started. I thought the most likely issue was the version of Perl and I'm sure I'm missing some Perl libraries. I could not find which version of Perl LMS 8.1.1 wants? I updated Perl to the latest version and tried again but it still failed I've been running LMS 8.1.1 on Windows for a while and never had an issue so I don't have a clue how to work out why it is failing on Ubuntu.

I went to the link and didn't find anything about LMS and Ubuntu is working fine. What was I missing? I got LMS from the standard LMS download site. I have read the link you posted now but I am still looking for a definitive guide to installing LMS on Ubuntu. Everything I find is so confusing and I've removed everything a number of times and started again, without success. One of the most confusing things is that all the instructions talk about Logitechmediaserver and Squeezebox server. That makes it very difficult to know what to search for. It is not clear to me whether the postings I find on the Internet are referring to the latest versions or old versions. I'm sure I am missing some Perl libraries but which? Why are they not installed as part of LMS? One poster on the Internet I've followed said that he got everything to work except for a firewall issue. I disabled the firewall to ensure it wasn't that. Still no joy. So, I am completely lost! I assume LMS has a way of posting more debug information to tell me why it keeps dying, but I don't know how to get that info?

Not sure why a fresh install of Ubuntu followed by all updates had a older version but so be it. However, it still doesn't work. What libraries do I need to install. The only errors I am getting in the log is that the server died and is restarting. That is just continuous. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

As far as I know Linux > filenames are quite forgiving. It took me a while to figure out what was going on but the copying of files from my SSD backup from Windows to the Ubuntu SSD would only copy some files. I'm not sure of all the issues but I think the & in a folder name was causing some of the problems. I got no copy errors, but the file copying just stopped. Bulk Rename Utility is the most wonderful software for sorting such things out.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Need Help getting LMS to run on Ubuntu on Pi 4
I've been searching the internet for instructions on how to get LMS to run on a Pi 4 using Ubuntu. It is a long time since I've used the command line on Linux but the Pi is a headless machine so I am back into that world. It's a big learning/re-learning curve!! It took a while to get Ubuntu to boot off of the SSD in an Argon One M2 case. I also had to rename all my music files to match Linux naming conventions. I chose Ubuntu as I also need to run a DLNA server as well. I understand that there is a way of getting LMS to act as a DLNA server but I couldn't work out whether or not that was a good idea. Besides, I need to build a Ubuntu PVR so I had to learn it anyway. I've tried to follow the instructions I've found on installing LMS on the Pi/Ubuntu. It appears to install without errors but then nothing works. Looking in the log file all I get is endless messages saying "Logitech Media Server died". What I can't find out is why? Clearly I have done something totally wrong but I have no idea what? I also have no idea what steps to take to find out? Looking for a DLNA server I decided to install MiniDLNA. I have no idea whether that is a good choice(?) but it installed an ran without any problems. Any help much appreciated.
