Hi folks, I have been trying to install LMS on my Slackware 14.1 box. I have tried various methods with versions 7.7.5 & 7.8 with no success. Below is the summary of my three days of googling and trying various options.
Initially I was trying with the downloads from the Logitech site. I first tried the deb & used deb2tgz to convert it to a Slack package as this has worked well in the past. LMS appeared to start using this but was subsequently found to be not running. -bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/init.d/logitechmediaserver start Making sure that Logitech Media Server is not running first: start-stop-daemon: warning: killing process 12244: No such process Starting Logitech Media Server.- However I am unable to connect to any LM server. Checks using 'ps', 'netstat' &'lsof' confirmed that there was no 'logitechmediaserver' or 'slimserver' running & that port 9000 was not being used. Checking my filesystem revealed that -/var/run/logitechmediaserver.pid- had been created and contained a valid id and had not been cleaned up. There was nothing on the command line to indicate any problem, only the '-Starting Logitech Media Server-' message described above. There was no sign of any associated logfile. After several attempts (with variations) I removed the package & downloaded the tarball, again from the Logitech site. This was extracted and examined. Googling provided various mentions of 'building' the module from these files but I found no build-files? Reading the 'Installation.txt' mentioned using the command './slimserver.pl --daemon' to start LMS. Attempting this threw up the following message. -The following modules failed to load: EV HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 Sub::Name NOTE _(..._see_below....)_ Exiting....- A search of my filesystem showed no instance of EV.HTML. The _NOTE_ mentioned getting a file called 'buildme.sh' from github, this was fetched & run with the following result.. -bash-4.2# ./buildme.sh ./buildme.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ./buildme.sh: line 5: `<!DOCTYPE html>'- After a bit more playing about with variations on all the above themes I downloaded version 7.8 & tried all the above again with very similar results for each option. I have now run out of ideas, can anyone help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kimdino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63693 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102665 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
