Hmm... well, that is very interesting, and useful to know! Let me try and deconstruct the sequence of events... I had been running an old version of LMS (7.9.2) until a TW update to 20201025 introduced Perl v5.30.3, and LMS no longer worked. I updated LMS to the latest nightly of v8.0.1, ran 'systemctl start squeezeboxserver.service', and all was well. Then: 2020-12-02: updated TW to 20201201 - this introduced Perl 5.32.0, which broke LMS again. I tried updating to the latest nightly of 8.0.1, which made no difference... then I tried updating to the latest nightly of 8.1.0, which also made no difference. That's when I first posted about my problem here. Subsequently, I was dealing with some issues related to a lack of disk space on my root partition, and since I had a temporary workaround for my LMS problem (running it on my wife's Windows system), I decided to remove LMS from my system (using 'rpm -ev') to see how much disk space it would free up. Then: 2020-12-16: updated TW to 20201209. Having now seen the discussions between you and Roland, I decided it was time to give LMS another try. I downloaded and installed the latest monthly of 8.1.0. That's when I started to see the problem with the server failing to (attempt to) start. So, it seems likely that this particular problem is specific to my system, and I somehow complicated things by deleting LMS. I know that RPM doesn't necessarily remove all related files when you use it to uninstall an application, though it's not clear how lingering files might lead to the problem I'm having. One possible course of action might be to try and do a more thorough job of cleaning up LMS-related files, and then try a fresh install. What do you think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barrymcl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71006 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113356 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
