I've spent a couple of hours reading forum threads and trying to install v6.2.1 on my vanilla kubuntu 5.10 installation. I've been using Debian for years so was quite happy to follow the tutorial in this thread, but made a couple of changes:
To create the group and user together and give them the same uids: adduser --system --group slimserver To change the owner and groups on all files: chown -RH root:slimserver /usr/local/slimserver Then I had to run the step as prompted: /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl Finally the thing that stumped me for longest was "which port do I use to connect to the server" but I found the answer in the log: 2005-12-04 22:17:30.8311 The URL to access SlimServer is now: http://hurley:9000/ FWIW, I also have errors in the log but I don't know what if anything these will break: can't create /fontcache: Permission denied at /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 392 can't create /fontcache: Permission denied at /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 392 can't create /fontcache: Permission denied at /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 392 can't create /fontcache: Permission denied at /usr/local/SlimServer_v6.2.1/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 392 -- mordav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mordav's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=15548 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
