Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X

2007-02-19 Thread mflint

I'm running SlimServer (and other incidental stuff, such as NFSD, SSHD
etc) on a Kurobox HG. This is a 266MHz PPC box with 128Mb RAM.

SlimServer, along with AlienBBC etc, runs fine.

Gentoo took a while to install, but it works great now.

Matthew

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Minimum CPU/mem req for Slimserver without X

2007-02-19 Thread hsmeets

Hi,

I'm running slimserver on a VIA mini-ITX 500Mhz rig, linux (ubuntu),
alongside the usual web-, mail and fileserver tasks.
No performance problems. Flac's are served up without any hickups.

does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Playback on Slimserver box via Softsqueeze slow

2007-02-19 Thread Sulat

I'm experiencing the same problem with slow playback.  I noticed that
when I click play twice in the Moose application, it starts playing at
normal speed.  Does anyone know of a better fix for this?  Thanks

 Hi all,
 
 a newbie here - with the help of great documentation I have had
 slimserver running well on my Fedora 4 box.  I have it networked to 3
 other PC's in the home which run Win2000 and softsqueeze runs great on
 all of these.  My files are all stored on teh Linux box and are flac
 files.  I can also use the Music player installed on the Linux box and
 play the flac files just fine via the soundcard (audiophile2496). 
 However, when I try to use the softsqueeze applet or s/w the playback
 is like 1/8th of the playback speed of what it should be. Has anyone
 had this issue and what is the workaround?   thanks   c.S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Recommendations for Linux compatible USB Hard Drive?

2007-02-19 Thread Havoc

As said before, it doesn't matter. Linux has no problem running usb, and
even 24/96 over a usb2 is hardly going to tax your interface.

However, there are a few things to consider:
- a very large drive in a tiny usb enclosure will get hotter than in a
well ventilated case. Don't smother your drives. It pays to shop around
a little and find a nice metal case that can help in getting the heat
out.
- have you considered e-sata? The last 2 usb enclosures I bought also
support external sata. So you can get the full sata speed to an
external drive. I haven't checked if those are hot-pluggable under
linux, this is on the to-do list.
- external hd's are a bit more fragile if dropped, bumped etc...
- you will need more cables, sockets.

Search a bit around before commiting to a file system. Ext3, Reiser and
XFS (and to some extend JFS) each have some strenghts.

[SlimDevices: Unix] (Ubuntu) APT-get update Error

2007-02-19 Thread jaap114

Lately I can't get any updates from slimdevices anymore.

When I do: Apt-get update  I get these errors:
Failed to fetch
http://debian.slimdevices.com/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
Failed to fetch
http://debian.slimdevices.com/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Updates from other sources give me no 
problems.
When I download the Package.gz manualy with wget I can't unzip it with
gzip. But I can read it like a normal text file with cat.

I tried reinstalling but that doesn't help. Because of all the
depencies I realy don't want to install it manualy. Is there some way
to fix this or is this a problem with slimdevices?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Actual permissions of files/directories

2007-02-19 Thread egizzi

Hi-

running 6.5 on debian sarge

i added a bunch of files/directories to my internal drive. added a
symbolic link to them in the music folder. scanned and nothing new. led
me to look at permissions. whoa. a lot of the directories have set user
id permissions. not sure if this is correct.

so here's the user scoop:

slimserver running under user slimserver
I do my file work under user name elio

ownership of the music files/directories is under elio

Just what permissions should the music directories and actual files
be?

Thanks
