Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.3 and the new convert-conf file format...
Here you are. This is from the current 7.3 Trunk via SVN, but is dated 11/15, so should be the same as the one that shipped with 7.3. Looks like there's a ReadyNAS version under /platforms, but no other platform-specific versions.

Too late for me to looki at the new fromat though - the installation process just nicely asked me if I wanted to keep the old one without informing me I needed the new format. Now I wonder where to get the replacement, or whether I have to reinstall from scratch. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 & Ubuntu 8.10 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56474 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Class-C3-XS-0.08.tar.gz not available from 7.3 repo
Saw the same with a Gentoo install/upgrade of 7.3, removing the dependency from Bin/build-perl-modules.pl unfortunately now pukes with XML::Parser, i.e. ./slimserver.pl --daemon The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with SqueezeCenter: XML::Parser (loaded 2.34, need 2.34) To fix this problem you have several options: 1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module 2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc. 3. Run the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules. `/usr/local/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl` then pukes with; Welcome to the Slim Devices perl module installer. These packages are needed for SqueezeCenter to function. You will need a C compiler (gcc), make, and perl installed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 trouble on Archlinux
This is what I did to get it up and running. I usually build packages
for everything I install because it makes it easier to upgrade or
uninstall, but for this I chose to simply untar in a home directory.
Install libgd and sox (not entirely sure if the latter is required).
Code:
$ sudo pacman -S gd sox
Create a user, I named it 'slim'. I then locked it down to be on the
safe side.
Code:
$ sudo adduser
$ sudo passwd -l slim
Untar the software (using the actual path to where it was downloaded).
Code:
$ cd /home/slim
$ sudo -u slim tar xzf squeezecenter-7.2.1.tgz
Create a couple of empty files and directories as the slim user. This
is the fix that this thread was about.
Code:
$ sudo -u slim mkdir -p cache prefs/plugin
$ sudo -u slim touch slimserver.log prefs/log.conf
Create /etc/rc.d/slimserver, like this;
Code:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
progdir=/home/slim/squeezecenter-7.2.1
pidfile=/home/slim/slimserver.pid
logfile=/home/slim/slimserver.log
prefsdir=/home/slim/prefs
cachedir=/home/slim/cache
case "$1" in
start)
stat_busy "Starting SlimServer"
cd $progdir
./slimserver.pl --daemon --user slim --group users --pidfile $pidfile
--logfile $logfile --prefsdir $prefsdir --cachedir $cachedir --diag
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
add_daemon slimserver
stat_done
fi
;;
stop)
stat_busy "Stopping SlimServer"
kill `cat $pidfile` &> /dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
rm_daemon slimserver
stat_done
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
Add slimserver to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf
That should be it if you want to use the mysql that comes with SC. I
wanted to use the already installed mysql, so I needed to do the
following steps.
Start and stop the server once, so that it creates initial config
files.
Code:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/slimserver start
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/slimserver stop
Edit server.pref to set a value for dbpassword, change the hostname
from 127.0.0.1 to localhost, and set the port to 3306. Remove the
database that was created on first run since it is not going to be
used.
Code:
$ sudo vi prefs/server.pref
$ sudo rm -rf cache/*
Create the new database and grant rights to the slimserver user, making
sure to set the same password as in the config file above.
Code:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database slimserver;
mysql> grant all on slimserver.* to slimserver identified by 'passwd';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit
And that's it. I have not tried installing 7.3 yet, though.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay: specify audio output?
Hi there, I've just built squeezeplay from svn on a ubuntu (mythbuntu) 8.10 machine and it was able to play back ok from a squeezecenter 7.3 system in the house. Next step is to tell it to play back through a different sound card. (First soundcard is for mythtv playback.) I didn't find anything obvious in the menus, like there is in softsqueeze. Any pointers to where I can change the output? Thanks!

[SlimDevices: Unix] Prevent system from sleeping
I've been a happy squeezebox owner for over two years. I've always used windows, but I've finally bought a dedicated machine to run as a server and I'm trying out the linux thing. I have everything working as desired except one thing. I have my system that squeezecenter is on set to sleep after a few minuets of inactivity, but it still goes to sleep even when I'm playing music via softsqueeze on another machine, and I suspect the same thing will happen when I use my squeezebox when it arrives in two days (I loaned it to my brother for a short time for him to try out). I've run squeezecenter on windows XP before and it had a prevent system from standby plugin. Is there any similar thing for linux? Is there some other setting I can change? I've searched quite a bit and haven't found anything yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
