As I said before, the 6.5 from the no longer existing apt repository worked fine, so why do you think that when I will get it to work again, it should behave worse? You may think I'm a pessimist, but not that much ;) > YAML-Syck is not an unnecessary dependency The Debian package I refered to actually is unnecessary when you used cpan to install YAML::Syck, which I did ;) > mDNSResponder should not be missing That's only for serving to iTunes, for which I use mt-daapd anyway (which due to it's smart playlists etc. is a bit more comfortable there). And the system worked without it for months, so it's not vital I assume. > and permissions should be available to write things in its own directory I don't think /root/ is slimservers own directory? The apt version actually created a slimserver user account with /usr/share/slimserver as its home directory. It may feel free to create anything there, but please not in roots home! > I would start over At which point? With which version? I've uninstall and manually removed all traces I could find about a dozen times now, and tried three Debian packages (6.5.0, 6.5.1 and 7.0a1) as well as three tarballs (nightly from today, nightly 6.5.x, normal 6.5.0). Or do you want me to reinstall the whole box? > The point is that you're being rude on a volunteer discussion forum.

On the other hand you could've said that saying I would even want more units if it works would be the other way round. Anyway, please let me quote myself: "I just could've said", "but that wouldn't have sounded better, would it?", etc. Since you complained about my "whining" about giving up and going for something easier, I wanted to explain that what you saw as whining was actually an attempt at saying "I'll just give up" without any threats as could have been the described ones (and I am REALLY thinking about giving up. 4 hours spent today on this means 4 hours less I could do regular work, which due to my current time pressure means quite a lot of added stress). I'm not a native english speaker, so please forgive me if I haven't used the above subjunctive correctly. > I am not your servant, your salesperson, or your customer support representative. And I am thankful for your help! Your hint about the rights may be worth looking into; while writing to /root/ shouldn't be allowed anyway, I'll check user permissions for the installation path as well, maybe with all those different versions I tried I missed some right changing there (the tarballs all have user id 999 or something if I remember correctly?)... -- Blubbels ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blubbels's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6728 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18586 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
