Seasons Greetings! This is an old recycled HP box (AMD Athelon II dual core/1 gig ram) running ubuntu 10.04 and Riv 2.1.2
I'm an occasional experimenter at the beginner level, but working toward a viable system for web-casting. Earlier this year I installed a pre-built version of 2.1.2 on ubuntu 10.04 platform offered by one of our generous regular contributors on the list. Rivendell ran fine for a day or three, then the entire system would freeze (i.e. no keyboard or mouse input). My first thought was that it was a system issue. I began asking in the ubuntu forums for help. The only two suggestions were (1) do a mem test, and (2) upgrade to 12.04. So, they were right; various ram sticks failed the test and now the system had run for a couple of weeks...cool! A few more weeks spent with grooming and importing music (I get a bit too obsessed with every category being ready. Now comes the test again. I created a log for one day and it ran flawlessly. I went to bed and expected to find airplay waiting at attention for another log the next morning. However, rdairplay had closed itself. Hmm, maybe that's normal I reason. But I was encouraged. So I create a weeks worth of logs yesterday and gleefully start it up, in hopes that success will be near. I awake this morning to find again Rivendell ran flawlessly ... a few hours. This time, airplay is still on the screen but stopped mid-event. However this time the mouse still works so I click to restart, but nothing. I attempt to close airplay and a prompt says I can wait for it to restart itself, or I can close. I chose to close airplay and attempt to restart from the desktop. Now none of the Rivendell apps seem to respond. I did attempt to start Rivendell services from the terminal but the message came back saying multiple instances were not allowed. Here's a look at the syslog near the time it quit.

Not sure where to go from here. Many thanks for your time looking at this. Steve
