I have successfully (and to my surprise and pleasure - easily) installed LMS 7.7.1 on my debian system. However, I don't want it to start every time I boot - I want to start & stop it manually.
I found a command to disable the auto-start, ie sudo update-rc.d -n logitechmediaserver disable and I can now manually start and stop the service via: sudo service logitechmediaserver start sudo service logitechmediaserver stop That all works fine. All I want to do now is create an icon on my (xfce) desktop to start & stop LMS, rather than tediously typing the commands every time. So I created two 'launcher's containing the above two commands. The 'stop' one works fine. Asks me for my password, and stops LMS. The 'start' one also asks me for my password, but then nothing happens. I've tried everything I can think of. I put the command in a .sh script, I made sure the 'run in a terminal' option is on. Nothing. When I manually start LMS from a terminal window it does output a few lines saying it is trying to stop itself before starting, and I wonder if that's what is stopping the launcher from working. I have had discussions on the debian forum but run out of ideas - it seems to be a feature of LMS. Any ideas out there? -- PasTim Server on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2 CPU, 2GHz, 4GB, FLAC files.
