Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2021-08-31 Thread v2k


Did an in situ upgrade on a pi zero and it worked well with the
exception of having to reset the alsa configuration, hdmi audio.

Out of curiosity, what is the issue(s) with hdmi audio? In my ignorance
I would have thought that the built-in interface would be the easiest to
use.

I don't think the user commands is the way to go, I would focus on
sorting out the ssh instead. I might have missed it earlier but how are
you connecting with ssh and what's the error message?

Versioning of Linux distribution releases can be a bit confusing,
usually LaG applies but there tends to be more to it than that. If you
take Ubuntu you'll get more up to date, feature wise, software with the
latest release but also a shorter support cycle and have to upgrade
every 9 months if you want patches vs LTS releases that are supported
for 4 years.

Other distributions use a rolling release cycle where there is only one
version, the one you're running right now. But they can still maintain a
stable and unstable branch.

If you are happy with Lubuntu stay with it, upgrades can usually be done
in place like MacOS and Windows.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer v7000, Benchmark DAC2 HGC, Rpi4, USB no sound

2021-05-23 Thread v2k


This might be completely unhelpful as it is a "works for me" on
different hardware. Anyways, curious as I am I checked alsamixer for my
DAC (micromega mydac) on a separate system and got the same bars as the
OP. I plugged it into a piCore player on a rPi3+ and got the same four
bars, aplay output is also similar.

To get sound through the DAC all I did was change output device to USB
audio, reboot and then turn off build in audio and reboot. That was it!
I did not have to change any other values, my "Output settings" is blank
and "ALSA settings" 80, 4, blank, 1, blank.

Sorry OP if you are still trying to get this working and have tried the
default values.

If memory serves the UID/GID mapping is for the local system, the one
doing the mounting, the remote system still uses its own permissions and
the login username can be separate from them. You can use it when user
don't match or you can use the 'noperm' option.

Just did a quick test, I don't think I have the exact same setup but I
did manage to add a shared exFAT drive from a Mac to my LMS. Now this
might sound stupid but did you press "apply" after adding the path to
the media folder? I'm just asking since the "rescan" button does not
appear until after I've done that.

I don't know how long you have been running Linux but two laptops seems
dedicated :) Anyway, for my part all you need to take with you is that
things that look like they should work, like the network browser,
doesn't always work in Linux. Should you find yourself in such a
situation and there is a command line way of doing what you want then
try that. If nothing else you tend to get better feedback about why it
is failing.

No (well, maybe there is a driver for them), Macs only like its native
filesystems (HFS, APFS) and exFAT.

The warning message comes from you having connected to a machine with
different ssh keys using the same IP address. I haven't read the whole
background so I'm just making things up as an example. If you installed
pCP on a raspberry Pi, connected via SSH and then decided to reinstall
pCP you would get new ssh-keys but since it is the same hardware and the
network card has the same MAC address your DHCP server (likely home
router) will assign it the same IP-address. I hope that makes sense, its
a bit late here.

Samba and SSH are not related.

Connecting to samba shares via the file explorer in your DE is hit and
miss with emphasis on miss, you are much better of using the command
line. One possible reason for one of your laptops failing to connect
could be that the cifs-tools package is not installed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS service running on Ubuntu 16.04, but not reachable

2021-05-02 Thread v2k


It sounds a bit like my efforts to get LMS running in Ubuntu on a RPi
(and failing miserably), it would show a + for the service but I
couldn't connect.

Since you at least can start after installation what happens if you stop
the service and then try to start the server manually with the
"squeezeboxserver" command?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need Help getting LMS to run on Ubuntu on Pi 4

2021-04-30 Thread v2k


I'll have to bow out and leave it to the man in the van. I've tried
installing a bunch of perl modules but so far without luck but at least
it got my memory working. My installations of LMS 8.1.1 and their
results:
Ubuntu server 20.04 and 18.04 on intel - LMS and local player plugin
works.
Raspberry PI OS (current...) - LMS works, can not get local player to
output audio, works if I manually start the bin.
Ubuntu server 20.04 and 18.04 on raspberry - can not get LMS to work.

I don't have the PI OS install any more but the ubuntus run perl 5.26.1
or 5.30. It is probably related to perl somehow but I don't know enough
about it to tell.

Sorry, hope you get it working!

Sorry, wrong info before.

Stop the service and then run "sudo squeezeboxserver --help" and you'll
get the list of modules that failed to load. Can't list them now, gotta
run. Will update later.

Take care!

They are in "/var/log/squeezeboxserver". If all you have done is install
LMS maybe a reinstall with static IP would do the trick?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need Help getting LMS to run on Ubuntu on Pi 4

2021-04-29 Thread v2k


I just did this but still can't remember much :)

My issue was that LMS was seen as running but I couldn't connect to it.
It turned out that a bunch of perl libraries was missing. If you stop
the service (sudo service logitechmediaserver stop) and then run it
manually (squeezeboxserver) it ought to tell you what's missing.

How did you have to change the filenames? As far as I know Linux
filenames are quite forgiving.
