[SlimDevices: Unix] Help with Issue " SQL that returns multiple rows is DEPRECATED"?

2020-12-19 Thread pablolie


Anyone knows why the Linux machine at my GF's place would be getting the
error below? The Win10 setup at my place doesn't get this error?

It doesn't seem to happen with the local library, more of an issue with
Spotify... long pauses between song... hickups etc

there are [plenty of helper apps to seamlessly attach a usb drive in

Could someone kindly point to the latest LMS installation guide on

actually find the right one as I am not in front of my home computer.
The wiki I fond has no mention of Ubuntu...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Perfect music companion for trip to the cabin

2018-06-07 Thread pablolie


Same here.

I have a little cabin lost in the Mendocino woods in Northern
California. Just me, an infestation of hummingbirds in the spring and
summer (kidding they are lovely, even though they are very protective of
their fav flowers beds), plenty of squirrels and raccoons, and even the
(very occasional) black bear.

I travel there very light on the motorcycle, hence can't carry stuff
around. These days there's a drizzle of running water, unreliable
electricity, and now even borderline wireless coverage has made it in if
you contortion your hand in a certain position.

There is also a SB Boom performing excellent and highly satisfying duty.
It also runs forever off a portable battery. LMS duty is performed by a
resident, ancient Thinkpad X60 running some LMS version of Ubuntu, 14 at
the most, haven't checked. New music is uploaded either via SDcard (that
I manage to put in the pocket :-D), or spotty 4G coverage.

Sure I could just plug some in-ears into my smartphone and enjoy amazing
music quality, but there's something super satisfying about *not*
drowning out the nature sounds while I prowl about.

The cabin is not perfectly insulated, and all the protection the SB Boom
and the X60 have between visits is that i wrap them in tarp. They've
survived this for over 10 years.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux VMs running on Win10+VMwareWorkstationPro

2017-12-26 Thread pablolie

FYI for now I have disabled the VM and simply spun up the Windows LMS
app - it's far less trouble right now.

That said I will most definitely re-create an Ubuntu VM with better
built-in portability, but it will require a little research. :-) Fact of
the matter is that the old VM has been very temperamental in the new
environment, with shared directories crapping out, mysteriously changed
permissions and so on. So I'll start from scratch.

I have been reading the different suggestions with great interest.

There are man ways to skin this particular cat indeed. :-)

The main lesson is that it isn't as straight-forward as I thought it
would be, as evidenced by all the replies, too.

I have decided to create an entirely new VM over the holidays using some
of the advice in here. Hopefully that makes the VM more versatile.

Happy Holidays, Linux brethren :-)

[SlimDevices: Unix] Linux VMs running on Win10+VMwareWorkstationPro

2017-12-05 Thread pablolie

This probably a very specialized and a bit esoteric discussion.

But it may help some people who may consider going the same route as I
did.

I decided to run LMS on a dedicated VM (details in my sig) because I
liked the idea of immediate portability; i.e. if I upgrade my main
machine, or decide to turn it off or run it elsewhere, al I have to do
is spin up the virtual machine (Ubuntu 16.04 with LMS 7.9) and it will
run, right? 

Unfortunately it's not quite as easy, intuitive and immediate. 3 things
don't migrate well:

1. Network configuration. Go for bridged. It'll save you a lot of issues
with LMS. You have to set that up in the VM management sw, not the vm
itself.
2. Music directory visibility to LMS. I have no idea why that is. I
would have assumed if you have the same NTFS drive connected to the
exact same vm running ubuntu, hey, the fastab stuff should work right
away when you connect the external NTFS drive. But that is not so.
You'll have to mess about with your fstab again. 
3. Network accessibility of your music collection aka Samba
configuration. Gone too when you migrate the vm. Odd. I like to have
that because I tend to rip new CDs on my Win10 dbPoweramp app, and then
easily drop them into the music directory (owned by the Ubuntu VM).

So while that makes my goal of having "immediate migration" ability
moot, I shall stick to this configuration model. Simply because, while a
tad frustrating at times, it keeps my Linux command line fundamentals
going some.

I have noticed that with some recent Ubuntu versions the headache had
become less, but some basic stuff in the areas described above remains a
tad unpredictable.

Takeaway: don't expect your OVA vm files to transparently work
elsewhere, even when you bring the exact same external drive to the
table...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Any Ubuntu 16.04 experiences...? Thoughts?

2016-07-31 Thread pablolie

I tend to do a fresh, clean install.

My last setup was 12.04 based and served me well for several years
(clearly). 

My current setup is super stable. But it too some sacrifice - I lost
playlists because the new setup indexes them differently, so I am still
editing the ones that are relevant to me by hand.

Thinking back over the years ( and I have been in the ecosystem for over
10 years), the current version is the best ever. 

I honestly think Logitech is crazy to not monetize the software upgrade
licenses, and keep some version of the Touch in the store!

I am back to my old VM. the new one started to report "could not apply
stored configuration for monitor" issues on startup and in the end froze
my entire computer (from within a VM, and i mean the entire computer -
that's a feat!) in a way i have not witnessed for several years. i will
delete the beta VM, wait a little, and then go for it again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Any Ubuntu 16.04 experiences...? Thoughts?

2016-04-17 Thread pablolie

Other cool stuff - unlike in 12.04 LTS you don't seem to have to install
advanced media codec packages in 16.04, they seem all packaged in from
what I can tell. Furthermore 16.04 doesn't seem you to require to fuss
around with fstab to correctly mount drives, the standard "Disks"
program offers a graphical interface to mount drives on startup. Samba
also auto-installs when you say you want to share a drive in a Windows
environment. Cool stuff.

So when it becomes generally available, I'd still wait a few weeks if
you want to make sure it's rock solid - but I'd definitely totally
recommend it. For Linux newbies it is most definitely a much more user
friendly package. Can't comment on 14.04 because I jumped straight to
16.04 to 12.04.

(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package). You just can't
double click on the package and expect it to install, that's all. :-)
For now it's in beta, I can always fall back on my tried and true
12.04+7.7.5... but I don't think I will. Spotify now works from the get
go. Everything seems to work just great. This was a 10min install. :-D

[SlimDevices: Unix] best current ubuntu choice

2015-01-14 Thread pablolie

i have been doing great with my virtual machine strategy, but it is time
to future proof it...

i hear 7.9 is the best and final LMS release so i am curious about
it and a Ubuntu LTS release... any reports on what is easy to put
together?

i just want a stable environment i don't upgrade - the only thing i do
is run the VM on VMWorkstation only and exclusively for LMS.

[SlimDevices: Unix] LMS 7.7.3 on Ubuntu 14.04, anyone?

2014-09-30 Thread pablolie

Has anyone successfully installed it? I am just about to try it out. 

I was thinking it'd be cool if our community could share a working
stable OVA file somewhere that people can just download and run. If and
when I get it to run, I shall post the OVA somewhere. 

Any hints appreciated!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) problems: Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

2014-04-23 Thread pablolie

over the weekend, i will migrate my current virtual machine
12.04+LMS7.7.3 (i run it off Windows VMware Workstation) to 1.404 to
future proof my SB infrastructure for many more years :) this thread has
probably armed me with the tools to do so easily. i love running LMS on
a dedicated VM on my home server, by the way. Allows me to switch it
between machines, upgrades and always go back to a configuration that
works. And will stay now running semi-supported for many years with
14.04 LMS. long live the SB! :)

PS: I have calculated that to migrate (not upgrade) what i have to Sonos
I'd have to spend over $3k. for *no* gain in sound quality. so i am
*happy* we can keep pushing the life expectancy of a concept i prefer
anyhow :) on occasions like this, Logitech's decision still amazes me
:-P

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Experiences Setting Up an Ubuntu+LMS Virtual Machine?

2012-11-28 Thread pablolie

I have LMS 7.7.2 working perfectly on Ubuntu 12.04. It is exactly
because of the hassle of moving LMS to the new environment as I upgrade
to a new Ubuntu version (typically the LTS version on this particular
machine) that I am thinking about this. In fact -after some fiddling
with the networking on the VM- I have LMS 7.7.2 working on an
Ubuntu12.04-VM that runs in VMPlayer 5.0.1 (which runs on Win or Linux),
but have not tried to set up the library yet (which is typically on an
external 2TB NTFS drive, and backs up onto a dual-drive 3TB Synology
NAS). The latter part will probably be the tricky element.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Experiences Setting Up an Ubuntu+LMS Virtual Machine?

2012-11-19 Thread pablolie

As I look at the future of LMS, I think a useful way to future-proof
this for several years is to create a standard virtual machine file that
I can then simply migrate onto different computers and OS's in the
future.

I currently have LMS 7.7.2 running on Ubuntu 12.04 and it's working
quite stably, so that's what I'd set up on a Virtual Machine. I'd also
back up that virtual machine as soon as I set it up so I always have a
fresh copy, meaning that I can always simply load up the original,
working configuration if the running copy gets messed up over time. 

I'll probably work on this over the Thanksgiving holidays, but wanted to
ask the community if anytone has done it and if there are any issues I
ought to watch out for. I imagine access-permissions might be especially
tricky in such a configuration, but I shall not know until I really try
it, I guess :)

definitely make sure that you have added the correct music folder to
LMS.

if LMS isn't finding your drive, it is because you have to yet set the
right permissions: i run ubuntu 12.04 and have my music on an external
NTFS drive. i had to make sure the drive was mounted. i use the NTFS
Configuration Tool (which needs to be installed) and run it once.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04?

2012-05-01 Thread pablolie

for what it´s worth - moved my environment to ubuntu 12.04 and lms
7.7.2.

simplest -clean slate- install i can remember. works like a charm and
seems quite a bit faster and more power efficient on my hw platform. 

1. install ubuntu 12.04 (i used the alternate install, but have used the
standard one before)
2. install unrestricted extras (the standard install disk asks for your
approval to do so early)
3. if your music is on an external ntfs drive, the tfs configuration
tool continues to be your friend
4. install logitech media server

not a single glitch.

which ubuntu version are you using? i found on previous version the
NTFS Configuration Tool is a very neat shortcut to deal with external
NTFS drives. Depending on your release and your formatting choices your
mileage might vary. Otherwise you'll have to read up on editing fstab

As I plan to move to 12.04 quickly (it's coolonceyou get over the
interface shock), I have

(1) Done an install on my test PHP development machine,and over the
last weekorsoI have not noticed any stability problems as of the
current beta. All 4 hours I have spent on it, mind...

(2) Done an experimental install of 12.04 desktop (32 bit) and LMS
7.7.2 on a Lenovo X60s I had lying around. Both installs were a total
breeze, and LMS worked from the getgo (just one album for testing
though).

In fact I'd say this was the fastest, least eventful install of Ubuntu
and SBS-LMS I have ever done!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Crosspost: LMS Access Problems

2012-02-12 Thread pablolie

Are you sure you installed and configured 11.04 identically on both your
original and you new machine?

The only thing I see that might be worth trying: connect all SB to
msb.com. Upgrade the firmware (which I assume it's already done, but
I'd force it just to make sure). Hard reset.

It happened to me once that my SBs were in some sort of limbo. I can't
quite recall how I got them out of it, but recall frustration and many
a hard reset.

I always download an app called NTFS Configuration Tool every time I
do a new Ubuntu install, and prior to installing SBS. (Just like I also
install restricted extras right away, too).

With that, I haven't had to mess around with the fstab file and stuff
like that in a few releases. The NTFS drives appear correctly after you
put them through the motions with that tool.

it looks the SQL part is the issue. 

people report that. i know the regular SBS install asked me about
installing SQL and entering passwords for it (even though a later
version comes packaged in with 11.04 i think), and that is where just
leaving blanks and saying forward gets you through it.

i would suggest you raze what you have and start from scratch following
my steps - it truly should work especially given the fact your hardware

to gharris' point, yes, Ubuntu 11.04 declares SBS 7.5.4 a very

[SlimDevices: Unix] SBS 7.5.4 on 11.04 (32 bit)

2011-05-14 Thread pablolie

This is my experience with this, do the following

1. Install Ubuntu 11.04 (it is a bit picky about hardware, the
alternate CD seems to do much better than the base one)

2. Get all Updates, restart

3. Get Ubuntu restricted extras (it'll give you all the decoding
capabilities you need)

4. Go to the AdministrationLogin Screen... Go Ubuntu Classic... as
far as my experience goes (and maybe it's just because I am recreating
my old experience) it makes a difference

5. If you have an external NTFS drive, Important (!): Install the NTFS
Configuration Tool. Open it and let it noodle for a while. Enable read
write etc. It's easy if you're patient.

6. Install SBS 7.5.4... simply click to move on when it asks you to
enter a password for SQL - because you don't have to...

7. Now you'll be able to configure SBS with your SB Account and your
NTFS contained music alright.

It was a bit of a battle for me, but it's working alright. I *nearly*
went Debian 6.0, but I am simply used to the Ubuntu interface, lazy sod
that I am. :-)

Hope this helps someone out there. It was easy once I simplified it,
and I am working it now with the latest hardware (1155 mobo, i3 2100t
processor etc).

Install the NTFS Configuration Tool. 

That's all I had to do. If it doesn't work, there are quite a few
threads that go in-depth into what to edit int he system and how to do
it, but I didn't find it necessary in 10.04.

[SlimDevices: Unix] 7.5.1... worth the upgrade?

2010-06-23 Thread pablolie

i try to keep up with stable releases of SBS.

currently running 7.5.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 and generally quite happy with
it (one annoying issues is that adding a an album or song to a playlist
when a song in said playlist is reaching the end leads to the music
getting stuck between tracks), so i was wondering what others'
experiences are with 7.5.1...

1. My box is an old Dell Core2Duo, with SATA connections for drives on
the board and integrated NIC card.  Useable?

 absolutely

2. I plan to keep the originals of my music on my Windows machine,
and use my backup software to keep an up-to-date copy on this new Linux
machine.  Possible?

 totally. there's a package called Samba that allows you to easily
integrate linux machines into windows networks...

4. How's SBS under Linux with Apple Lossless?

 fine. install restricted extras iu run ubuntu, makes it easier.
visit the linux forum here.


5. Can anyone recommend a good up-to-date complete beginner's guide
to installing Linux?  The ones I've found from searching the web seem
to talk about IDE and are dated several years ago.

 I recommend Ubuntu. extremely user friendly.

6. Wake on LAN possible via SB£/Boom connected to Linux server?

 yes.

7. Finally, what flavour of Linux?  I'm thinking one of the flavours
that appears in the Nightly list would be sensible?

 visit the Linux forum. i am a happy Ubuntu user.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux Intel Atom 330 server - Power consumption

2010-04-09 Thread pablolie

I have become a huge believer in SSDs, and given their current price
levels even more so. You could say I run my private cloud these days -
the servers are aggressively power managed and the OS and SW resides on
SSds... the data resides on a redundant Synology DS209 server.

My SBS setup runs from 25W to 38W in active state, and that includes
the external 1GB drive. If I check it in dormant state it'll be less
than 10W.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] kubuntu 10.04 beta

2010-04-05 Thread pablolie

i was curious, so i simply installed everything from scratch on a
separate drive (ready to immediately reactive old 8.04 and 7.4.1
config), and lo and behold installation was drama free, and it now
works very well. no issues worth writing about (yes, the external drive
still needs to be given specific SBS permission, easy to do with the
NTFS Config package). 

10.04 seems geared up to be a very nice release.

 Ubuntu hasn´t a per file info about its version like Windows. If a

True.

One possible caveat: the incremental upgrade from previous releases may
not have worked cleanly until the official release. So if you did an
incremental 8.04/9.04/9.10 release to 10.04, chances are there are some
benefits to a clean install once the 10.04 release arrives later this
month.

If you have installed a clean 10.04 beta on a machine, it will keep
upgrading automatically (and cleanly) to the release version.

2010-01-01 Thread pablolie

There are a lot of discussions around this.

In 9.x, chances are you have to modify an entry in /etc/fstab

I recommend going to the Ubuntu forums and doing a search on USB fstab
9.10 (or whatever your release of choice) or similar. And make sure to
keep a copy of the original fstab file.

You are likely to encounter the USB drive issue if your music resides

People with other Linux distros see exactly the same issues, so no, it
is not an Ubuntu issue. As Pat pointed out, it is true Ubuntu has
changed, however it does requires application developers to implement
changes, which doesn't seem to have happened with SBS.

And I have not claimed it is a userdid issue. The userid can be
Beijing Bicycles for all I care. Once again, for the last time, it is
about user *privileges*. and whatever userid SBS is going for these days
is not installed with useful privileges, which is why many Ubuntu users
need to fiddle around with permission settings manually
post-installation to allow SBS to access an external drive that is there
to be used by everybody. See attached - it is a silly setting.

 So your solution, to allow a process total access to any file, despite
 the permissions on that file, would mean giving the process root.

Can you quote where I said that was my solution? Quite the contrary.
From the start here I have talked about permissions that allow the
application/user to perform their duties, and have been very vocal about
the fact that root is dangerous (unlike your example about Apache btw).

The fact is that because of unsuccessful installations users are forced
to sudo and gksudo around their system typically assigning universal
acess to their external devices (check the title of the topic). Not a
good thing.

 You have refused for some reason to accept the first as a solution ..
 
 That mean, whether you like it or not, giving SBS root.
 

The last statement is kinda shocking. Why on earth would any capable
system administrator... well, never mind.

The logic here isn't linear, and starts with the wrong premise that I
haveve refused anything.

The simple fact is that the admin user in Ubuntu granted the SBS
install process root rights via sudo, and it is the up for SBS
installation to grant the right permissions so that things work, as they
did before.

And if you think Linux users haven't been having issues you are in

Incidentally, this is where you show you are both clueless and that you

The package does not have to have to change permissions to the file
system. It just have to grant itself the right ones given the fact the
admin trusted it to do so when it granted it root rights with sudo (and
you do not understand basic Ubuntu concepts if you don't know that is

It is NOT about changing the file system. it is about granting a user

 I got round this by booting into the console and using fstab as per the
 Ubuntu guide and they're mounting with full permissions again.
 
 Not that I can get squeezeboxcenter to work anyways.

That is because the start sequence is all screwed up in Linux with
7.4.1.

You have to restart SBS every time you restart, or write a startup
script that delays SBS start. Try doing this in your command window...

sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver stop

and

sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start 

After a little while, SBS should then run as OK as it every will under
7.4.1. I do that on the rare occasions that I restart the system.

well, we stopped discussing Linux religion didn't we? :-)

but i think as we discuss the changing behavior of SBS running with
later Ubuntu releases, the blame question comes up, and then it
quickly becomes whether Ubuntu or SBS dropped the ball, or both.

I think it is pretty clear 7.4.1 does something wrong when it comes to
Linux, since both the USB drive and the incomplete startup issues (and
that is *when* SBS installs correctly, which isn't a given as one sees
in these forums) were not present before this release, and furthermore
happen irrespective of the user running 8.04 or 9.10 (the way to fix the
issues is somewhat different though).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Install Ubuntu Server from USB CD-ROM drive

2009-12-16 Thread pablolie

The place to ask should be the Ubuntu Forums, and search for the mobo.
There are the oddest hardware combos out there. I installed Ubuntu on 2
8 year old computers, and the forums helped.

I know this is stating the obvious, but truly comb through the BIOS
settings to make sure no weird setups have been made (one can configure
IDE/SATA etc to do the strangest things).

If everything fails, grab an eternal USB CD-ROM drive somewhere. :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SCC 7.4.1 can't see my USB drives?

2009-12-15 Thread pablolie

 That's not how Unix permissions work.
 
 root installed apache2... but it is owned by www-data.

My understanding is that indeed you should never, ever do anything as
root. There are several system folders that are and should be locked for
any user other than root on the system, for good reasons. And no human
user should be root. Ever. I have not advocated anywhere messing around
with root, quite the contrary, the fact that in thne end we are forced
to dabble around with gksudo nautilus (or as yours may go) shows that
there is something broken with the way it is implemented anyhow, because
you force users into a basic violation of your sacred security policy to
get a plain vanilla system going.

What I stated was something different: let us say user (or let us say
account) pablo is the main admin with the most privileges on a
machine (mind you, he'd still never get access to root according to
Ubuntu policies, in theory, but of course we know that is only a gksudo
command away. The account maps to a user ID which belongs to a group. If
user/account pablo installs SBS, the account/group's privileges should
be propagated to the installed software automatically. It does not make
sense to do it any other way. If my account can access a USB drive, the
software I install should be able to access that drive too. Anything
else it utterly unintuitive.

 SBS's installation from a .deb has no clue where your music library is. 
 That is set by the user later,  It should not willy-nilly be guessing
 oh, you have an external USB drive,let me change permissions on it!

There is a big difference with configuration of settings (which
naturally the user must do) and access to system resources. When a user
installs a software package, the software package should have access to
the resources the user has naturally access to. There is no added
security in that. It's just inconvenient and utterly user unfriendly.

 That would be a huge violation of debian security policy

I do not believe that. The security policy is concerned with protecting
root directories, for very good reason. A user installed USB drive is
not a protected resource. If and when a root directory exists on the USB
drive, then by all means that can (and is) protected. But anything I as
a user mount to my /home/media...whatever, it should be there for every
application I have the right to start. Anything else is confusing and
simply not an intuitive security policy. 

The whole idea of Linux security is to protect root resources from
malicious (or unintentional) attack. That principle is not violated by
propagating user access rights to resources to software those users
install, since in Ubuntu they are not root in any normal operation (it
seems you run your system differently, and more power to you, mind you).

i truly did not intend to side-track this thread with anything that

however i do think that something like trying to use SBS brings to

that's all.

I just will recommend anyone in any release dealing with USB drives in

snarlydwarf;495746 Wrote: 
 It's nothing special to SBS for that.  MANY packages install their own
 user id for permissions purposes.
 
 The 'odd' thing is that Ubuntu wants to play sort of like Windows: when
 you plug in removable you get to use it to copy files, etc.
 
 The problem is that it isn't you that needs to read the drive, it is
 SBS.  This is a different user ID than you.
 
 Likewise, the loading of an external drive may be delayed until a user
 logs in so that it knows who to assign it to.
 
 And for extra fun, your drive may be NTFS and not really happy with
 having Unix permissions.
 
 I don't use Ubuntu, I'm a hardcore debian user, and my SBS server has
 no display, so no gnome.. I just put the USB drive in /etc/fstab and
 it's mounted at boot.  The files/directories on that drive are owned by
 me and readable by 'world', so SBS has no problems with it.  It is, of
 course, ext3s, since I don't care if Windows can read it.

The SBS-Ubuntu combo never had this issue (which has popped up with
alarming frequency in the last 2 months) before the 9.10 and 7.4.1 mix
though. I never had to struggle with permissions before - the issue was
about mounting the USB drive. Once it mounted permissions were OK. In
9.10 and 7.4.1 suddenly there was the added permissions element.

My experience has been with an NTFS drive, hence my ntfs-settings
pointer before; and I can not talk about other configurations. I know
many moons ago as a newcomer to Ubuntu (and the thread is probably in
the archives somewhere) I had issues with the Seagate drive I still use
because there was a well-documented issue at the time, but that has been
fixed since.

I do think that the whole volume mounting thing with Ubuntu is a major
issue, and the Ubuntu forums speak volumes on the issue. It is a major
problem standing in the way of wider adoption because it is a major
first hurdle. Then come other issues (scanners, webcams etc). 

And the solution seems to be slightly different based on the system
flavor, which is not a good thing either. 

As to permissions, and package that is installed by the admin id ought
to be smart enough to make sure that sufficient resource permissions are
awarded to it for system wide operation. Otherwise the installation
procedure can only be regarded as buggy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SCC 7.4.1 can't see my USB drives?

2009-12-13 Thread pablolie

What type of drive do you have? If it is an older USB drive there might
be compatibility issues when mounting it. As you well know, successfully
mounting it is just half the battle, you also need to be able to set it
up so all users can take advantage of it, and SBS needs read/write
access to be happy.

I agree it does not make any remote sense the way it is set up right
now for Ubuntu installs... the fact you install software via your
regular admin id and that then it needs a special system permission
seems pretty unique to SBS, my assumption is certain 9.10 release
adjustments (Linux kernel? Gnome?) have not been made in the SBS
software. 

I do hope by the time I migrate this machine -which doubles as my SBS
engine- to 10.04LTS the available stable version of SBS (8.0?) will have
made the transition. It is *both* a Linux and SBS issue.

I do have a 1 page command cheatsheet for Linux I keep so that I know
what I did to get things to work. It is quite annoying that about 30% of
it needs to be re-written from release to release. And yes, USB drive
handling was one of the major differences. It got better with 8.04 to
9.04, something changed in 9.10. And that is within Linux, because I
also have to mount my NFS partition differently (some experts in the
Ubuntu Forums don't quite buy it, but I have the results and the Grsync
logs to prove it).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] squeezeboxserver, mysql5.1 and ubuntu 9.10

2009-12-12 Thread pablolie

I had 9.10 and SB7.4.1 running fine a few weeks ago, but in the end
decided against 9.10 on my always-on server and web-browsing machine.

The installation procedure, I remember, was sort of strange because of
several SQL software installation prompts (want to install this? define
a password? continue?), which makes me think one wrong keystroke can
cause major installation problems. If you have those issues, I would try
to install everything from scratch again and see if the result is the
same. Several people have installed the combo successfully, so it should
work (unless you have your collection on a USB drive, in which case some
more fiddling will be required...)

if you are trying to play music that resides on your home server on a
netbook using Rhythmbox it all has very little to do with the Squeezebox
setup. it means that you have to set up the music folder for sharing,
and then whatever client wants to access it can access it. so right
click on your music folder, and set up sharing. among Ubuntu machines
NFS is easy to set up, but Samba is more flexible in the end for shared
environments.

The only way to play music off your Squeezeboxserver (and it truly does

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Advice on server (debian or freebsd)

2009-12-06 Thread pablolie

I use Ubuntu (desktop) and disable many of the services. It installs on
barely 4GB. Ubuntu also has a stripped down server edition.

I have played around with every Ubuntu release, but going forward will
stick to long term support releases. My SB server runs 8.04 (duh see my
sig), downgraded from 9.04-9.10. It is rock solid. It also integrates
very easily with the inevitable Windows or Mac machine that is likely to
infest your household from time to time. :-)

Ubuntu 8.04 also provides very nice GUI functionality in a very
lightweight way (I found 9.10 to be noticeably slower) and runs very
well on machines with very humble hardware specs. An acquaintance of
mine just opened a hair salon, and she is joyous with the donation of an
8 year old laptop running 8.04, which runs all the apps she needs for a
small business, and between Google apps, open community and such you
don't have to spend a cent on software (well, I make a point to make
Paypal donations to several projects). 

And the other great thing about Ubuntu are the forums. They are
incredibly helpful and active, and every problem I have ever run into
someone else has already had, even though sometimes it takes a while to
find the right thread.

Then again, the stuff that speaks for Ubuntu also mostly goes for
Debian. If it wasn't for Ubuntu I'd definitely run Debian, and I am
quite likely to use it soon anyhow.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't access external HDD in Squeezebox Server

2009-12-05 Thread pablolie

You have to edit your fstab file, which is tricky and varies depending
on Linux distribution and release. It is unfortunate.

I entered some information on how I had 7.4.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 work
together in another thread, but ultimately I decided to go back to a
stable Ubuntu release (8.04) that lives quite happily with SBS.

 If you have a look in the Ubuntu software center there is a package
 called Ubuntu restricted extras, it contains bits and bobs they can't
 include by default. Part of the package is the fonts that will improve
 the look of Firefox.
 
 Simon.

Thanks I had that installed though. There are several tracks going on
in UBuntu forums about file conflicts with Firefox 3.5 fonts. I just
went back to something stable.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Help with m4a in squeezecenter

Strange - with my utterly standard config and without doing anything
special I have not had m4a issues again. I have learned to make sure I
install the restricted library before I install SBS, and things seem
to work automatically always. I just have a very few M4a albums from

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SCC 7.4.1 can't see my USB drives?

2009-11-28 Thread pablolie

I posted some advice in a different topic in here. 

I reverted back to an old install, even though I got everything to
work. I was just not happy with certain aspects of deploying 9.10 on
this machine - it seemed more sluggish, and the Firefox 3.5 fonts looked
very jagged to my eye. Something isn't quite right about it when it
comes to running it on this particular computer... I have left it on
others though.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu 9.10 and SBS 7.4.1 experiences?

2009-11-27 Thread pablolie

Thanks for the 64 bit warning. I used to run Ubuntu 64 bit, but no
longer do. In general I thought there were too many battles to fight. I
have several machnes that dual-bood with Ubuntu 32 bit, and all of them
except for my SBS server (which doubles as a web browser) now run 9.10.
So I was thinking it was time to have 9.10 across the board. I am just
in the process of bringing SBS up (I just did the 9.10 upgrade). 

Based on this thread, and since I am running 9.10-32, I assume I shall
be just fine. :-)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SCC 7.4.1 can't see my USB drives?

2009-11-27 Thread pablolie

I had never had an issue with this, and now with 9.10 and 7.4.1 voila!
SBS does not see my USB drive, either. I have tried several things to no
avail. 

Since I installed SBS from my user id, it seems utterly asinine for SBS
to want to be a different user and have drives mounted on it... 

The tricks in Ubuntu forums aren't working.

And of course the password to the sbs user isn't readily available,
which probably would be the easiest way to get this accomplished.

Dammit.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu 9.10 and SBS 7.4.1 experiences?

2009-11-27 Thread pablolie

Well, this is *crap*.

The clean install works. 

But if I try the preferences folder I had from Ubuntu 9.04 and SBS
7.4.1 into the new 9.10 and 7.4.1 combo, SBS will not start.

I assume this is because there has been a change in the way mounting or
permissions go from 9.04 to 9.10 (and its interaction with SBS 7.4.1)
when your music collection resides on a USB NTFS drive. Oh how
wonderful.

So here we go again, having to recreate my preferences on all players
yet again. And people told me I am crazy when I asked Logitech to
provide users with a preferences saving utility that does *not* rely on
backing up directories... which clearly doesn't always work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu 9.10 and SBS 7.4.1 experiences?

2009-11-27 Thread pablolie

I hope this is it, it is rescanning the library now... 

My recommendation to anyone going for this is that, if you have your
music on an external USB drive that is NTFS formatted (and yes, I
*could* convert it to something else, but I have 300GB of music in there
and this drive will stay the way it is, perhaps I will get a new one),
you do some serious reading on how to mount them and correctly edit your
fstab file. And there is a *lot* of obsolete garbage out there when it
comes to the topic, so take your time sifting through it.

My approach was to reinstall 9.10 and, instead of ignoring the NTFS
drive (which the 9.10 install process will tell you to do), tell it to
mount it right then and there to a mount location you like (such as
/media/musiccollection or whatever you already had defined previously).
You may have to still fiddle with the access rights in fastab, but at
least the entry is already there and thus you don't have to create a new
entry from scratch.

One sweet day we'll have to stop to gksudo around editing system files
to get stuff to work darn it... I mean, this stuff *should* work
automatically...

Yes, I noticed the SQL 5.0 vs 5.1 thing. I just installed 7.4.1 from

And now I am wondering why Firefox 3.5 looks kind of ugly, fonts wise,

Is the partition/drive stable? some linux versions can be finicky with
that, and compatibility issues do exist. i remember having lots of
issues with a Seagate drive initially!

i am not familiar with the configuration you are using, so i can not
offer more comments beyond that. i am using Ubuntu 9.04 with SBS 7.4.1,
and things work (even though SBS needs to be restarted every time I
initilize the system, which luckily is not often at all).

- The SB3 was left out of compatibility testing with the new
squeezenetwork as far as the upgrade goes, painful. 
- Weird stuff happened to that temperamental combo called the Duet: the
SBC was convinced the SBR was happy and paying music when in fact it had
gone into a coma only a factory reset got it out of.

That sums it up.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 7.4 = Trainwreck

2009-10-01 Thread pablolie

My Ubuntu SBS 7.4 install now regularly drops the library - SN stays on.
Very annoying. Guess it also explains some of the scanning issues people
see, or the inability of the web browser to start up. Stopping and
starting the application seems to fix it. But VERY annoying.
