Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Great news. Looks like SqueezeboxServer-7.4.1-28948.exe did the job! I'm testing further, but looks sorted! Thanks a lot for your help mherger. Really good advice. One thing I did do was perform the install of SqueezeboxServer-7.4.1-28948.exe to a totally new directory rather than the default "upgrade" path and I think this might have helped too. -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Here's a screenshot of the folder settings. It's not greyed out but checked (see jpeg), but yeah - I think you are right - it seems to be a red herring. Now I'm thinking about the perl error more, I did get the odd perl error on startup with 7.3.3, but I ignored this as I could just start it again and it worked. I'm not sure if the severity of this problem has been exacerbated by 7.4. Any ideas how to repair or check for the perl components needed by Squeezebox server 7.4? I'll try the latest build tonight! +---+ |Filename: mherger.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8503| +---+ -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Hi Mherger, Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it. In both cases (work PC and home PC) I am logged in as a user created as an Administrator on the machine. And in both cases the Temp folder is marked as read only. On neither machine has their been any issues with installs, until the 7.4 on my home PC. Incidentially, I tried running cmd attrib -r -s against The Temp folder but this didn't work either. I also disabled the AVG online scanning but that didn't help - good idea though! I'm going to try a reinstall tonight and an install of 7.4 on my work PC to see the results. Obviously my work PC will not detected any squeezeboxes but it will be interesting to see if the install goes fine... I wonder if a reinstall/repair of Perl would help? I'm looking into this Cheers for the chat. Let me know if anything comes to mind.

Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
OK. I checked my work XP machine to verify the settings for C:\Documents and Settings\jeepie\Local Settings on XP and I found that the Temp folder was marked "Read only". Therefore, I am sure whether the "read only" status of the Temp folder is the cause of Panic: Can't create perl510.dll. Would it be possible for someone who has 7.4 working on XP to let em know whether their folder C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp is marked as "Read only". Also any other ideas would be appreciated. -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Yeah - a weird one. I'm using AVG anti virus. I'll have a dig in there to see if I can see anything.

Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
No worries. Restored the Temp folder and just removed the pdk ones. When I tried to start Squeezebox Server I got the same error I get when logging in as my Windows user, presumably because it's running the same routine. One thing I noticed is that the name of the pdk folder changes. This time it is saying PANIC: Can't create C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1\Temp\pdk-Greg-2056\perl510.dll which is a different folder than before. So it does seem to be a writes or permissions issue to create folder in C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1\Temp. I just don't know how to change this as it seems to be being manipulated by system processes. -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Thanks very much for the reply Mherger! No dice sadly. I can't delete or move C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1 due to some things in the folder being in use even when the squeezebox server is not running e.g. JET9F93.tmp. I therefore deleted what I could, marked the folder as unchecked read only and rebooted but I got the same problem. I checked and I'm an administrator on this machine - any other thoughts? -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Panic: Can't create perl510.dll
Hi There, I've upgraded to Squeezebox server 7.4. It works, but it doesn't work completely. Specifically when my computer starts I get the error message: Panic: Can't create C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1\Temp\pdk-Greg-2728\perl510.dll. This is thrown by the SqueezeTray.exe process and the squeezebox icon in the system tray doesn't appear. Because of this the squeezebox server doesn't start automatically. I checked C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1\Temp and I notice this is marked as read-only. Whenever I try to change permissions they appear to change, but then when I check it again it goes back to read-only. Could this be an issue?

Re: [slim] Screensaver permanently on
Thanks Danco. I will try and disable the option where you have text and the spectrum stuff as it's very ugly. The other screen presentations are so nice, I'm surprised this is by design. Thanks for your feedback.

Re: [slim] Screensaver permanently on
You were right Mark. I wasn't aware of the distinction between the now playing button options and the screen saver system ones, so many thanks. -- Jeepie Jeepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34244 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Screensaver permanently on
Hi everyone, Any ideas on this? I am running SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 with a squeezebox. When I selected an internet radio station one day one of the digital screen savers suddenly started playing behind the "Now Playing" text description screen saver of what was playing; it's the screen saver which looks like a bar chart. So now I can see the "Now Playing" screen + softly displayed behind these bars jumping up and down. It's like I've got two screen savers on at the same time. They look great on separately but togtheruurrgh! Any ideas how to revert this to just the now playing screen saver? Stuff I've tried: System > Settings > Screen saver. Turning off and changing all combinations. I can change the screensaver but the bars are still jumping behind whatever changed screensaver I go to. Reinstalling Upgrading the firmware. Upgrading slim server. Stop and starting and bouncing. Frowning in an intimidating way at the squeezebox Any ideas much appreciated. Don't worry about stating the obvious!
