I am having the same experience as PeterW.I did a dpkg -i
squeezeplay_7.5.0~8498_all.deb and got the full-screen frame that looked
all messed up (on Ubuntu 9.10).
I tried adding
Code:
--------------------
deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main
--------------------
, and using apt-get install. But that fetched me squeezeplay 7.4~5936,
which did start up at all.
So, I built from source using the instructions here:
http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/11/22/compiling-squeezeplay-on-linux-ubuntu-amd64/
Initially, I had no sound, but I could get sound working by updating
the alsa drivers as described here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810
Others have reported that an easier solution to the lack of sound is to
just remove pulseaudio altogether rather than rebuilding the alsa sound
drivers from source.
Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
--------------------
It seems that the nightly builds using a 32bit Ubuntu 9.04 build host
don't work well at all on Ubuntu 9.10. Nevertheless, building from
source is really pretty easy on the current Ubuntu desktop and sound can
also be made to work with a little effort.
I would be a little bit nervous about committing patches, since I don't
know what other build targets would get broken as a result. The two
patches to Makefile.linux would probably have limited impact, but
swapping out the whole portaudio directory for a newer snapshot could
have far-reaching consequences.
