Hrrm? This works fine: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com/ stable main Nothing changed. Note that you can, if you want, change stable to 'testing' for 7.5.2, or 'unstable' for what is now called 7.6 but may change on release.. or may not. The latter two are nightlies. 7.2 to 7.5 is a pretty big leap: the package name changed in there somewhere. Unless you have something way special in your setup, I'd delete the old one (was it squeezecenter then?) and install the new one (now called squeezeboxserver). I think it tries to migrate things, but I wouldn't trust it. Note that the userid changed as well: if you granted things to squeezecenter's user id, then you'll need to change that to squeezeboxserver. So maybe permissions on your music library need to change. Plugins... 7.5 plugins are -easy-. Click a bunch of boxes to tell SBS what to download, and it will go download and install them for you. No more trying to remember where they go and hoping you extract them correctly. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83075 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
