Well, I could sure use some ideas here. I have installed Ubuntu 7.04, and then installed the Debian package for Slimserver. Slimserver works fine but I cannot get Softsqueeze 3.4 to work properly on this machine - connecting to 127.0.0.1 - it is in a constant struggle to keep from locking up:
Problem: lost contact with Slim Server. Check the software is running. This happens after a few minutes of play, although Softsqueeze was not responsive once it began to play to begin with. When it is playing, the display does not update very often, and the buttons are non-responsive - it is extremely sluggish, and disconnects frequently. It is as if it is hardly running at all! I set the priority in the system monitor for Java to -10, but that makes no difference. I have tried JRE 1.6.0 and 1.6.0.1 - no difference. The problem might be with the running of Slimserver rather than Softsqueeze, because I have noticed that this problem is worse when I am streaming an internet station using proxied streaming as opposed to direct streaming. However, I can use Softsqueeze on another computer, connect to Slimserver on this Ubuntu platform, and it will play everything without a glitch. Any suggestions? - I am stuck. Softsqueeze is the ONLY thing I have not been able to get to work properly under Ubuntu. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
