I looked through the other threads on this subject without any enlightenment, so I hope a new thread is appropriate. I installed the debian package for SC 7.0 per the instructions on the wiki and everything seemed to go ok. Once that was done, I opened a root terminal and entered /etc/init.d/squeezecenter start. I got the message Starting SqueezeCenter Audio Server. Fine so far. Now what? The light on my Duet receiver stayed blue and I didn't see anything helpful on the controller. The wiki suggested opening a web browser interface to control SC by browsing to the server address and port 9000. I'm not sure how to get the server address. I tried hostname -i and got several different ip numbers, none of which seemed to work. At this point, I don't know whether SC is working at all or what to try next. Can anybody offer some advice?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SC 7.0/Ubuntu installed OK, then nothing
Try stopping apparmor with the command sudo service apparmor stop. When I try this I get sudo: service: command not found. I looked for service using the synaptic package manager and couldn't find it. Also, I'm not sure that apparmor is running on my system. I do ps ax | grep apparmor and the only thing that comes back is a process for grep apparmor. Restart squeezecenter with service squeezecenter restart Squeezecenter is now apparently starting whenever I boot linux. It starts and goes into its infinite loop. (I see this happening in the log in /var/log.) Is there some way to stop it? Check System Administration System Monitor - you should see the squeezecenter processes. It doesn't show up in System Monitor, but I do see it when I do ps ax | grep squeezecenter with similar results as I posted in an earlier message. The fix for the apparmor problem is not included in SC 7.0, and you will have to upgrade to 7.0.1 to make SC run with apparmor. To install 7.0.1, do I just repeat the process that I went through with 7.0 using a different source as described in the wiki? Do I have to remove 7.0 first? If so, could you tell me how to do it?
