Oops, I double checked my notes: caed needs to be started before ripcd. Not the other way around as I stated below. Try starting each manually form a command prompt and check /var/log/syslog for any hints. The command "ps -C caed" will list the caed daemon if it is running, same for ripcd.

I don't know if you dealt with this or not, but realize that newer versions of Debian (and Ubuntu I'm guessing, I can check my "Trusty Tahr" machine tonight at home) puts the /var/run directory on a /dev/shm shared memory mount (like a ramdisk) that goes away at each reboot. I had to follow the instructions given by others in this thread to create the /var/run/rivendell directory and set permissions in a small shell script that I run before attempting to start the Rivendell daemons. Is it possible that the caed daemon creates this when it doesn't exist but ripcd, which needs to run first, does not? _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
