Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How do I delay Squeezebox Server startup till after network connects
I'm having similar network issues with Ubuntu 10.04 and SBS 7.5.1. I'm running an AMD64 machine and using a Squeezebox Duet. This machine is at my home, and I turn it off when not using it. I generally leave the router and wireless network on, for use with other devices. I used to have an occasional network problem on bootup, usually after a power outage, but since the latest kernel and SBS upgrade (done at the same time, so I don't know which is the problem) The SBS server NEVER finds the Duet unless I first reboot the network hardware (router and wireless) and boot the computer afterwards. Before I go blindly probing around, has anyone worked out startup scripts to fix this for Ubuntu 10.04? -- rkerr rkerr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How do I delay Squeezebox Server startup till after network connects
On VortexBox I have a small script that runs at startup. It tries to ping a network address. If it can it exits but if it can't it keeps trying every few seconds until it can. Once it has pinged an address it restarts SqueezeBox Server. This works very well and SqueezeBox never give errors. If you want download a copy of VortexBox and take a look at the script. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

In system V init, when init enters runlevel X it executes scripts in the rcX.d directory as follows: - Kxx scripts with the argument "stop" appended, xx from 01 to 99, then - Sxx scripts with the argument "start" appended, xx from 01 to 99. Exception: Scripts for services that are already in the state expected for the destination runlevel (e.g. network already started) are not executed. Calling reboot makes init parse the scripts in the above order, in the rc6.d directory. Calling halt makes init parse the scripts in the above order, in the rc0.d directory. On debian and ubuntu the normal runlevel is 2. So there should be a few Kxx (to kill/reinit services launched in runlevel S, passed through at boot) and a lot of Sxx scripts in rc2.d. Situation is reversed for rc0.d and rc6.d, runlevels for controlled halt and reboot. A set of links to this effect should allow squeezecenter to start and shutdown gracefully (on debian lenny at least): /etc/rc2.d/S99squeezecenter /etc/rc0.d/K20squeezecenter /etc/rc6.d/K20squeezecenter Modern ubuntus use network-manager and upstart, so YMMV. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I've been having the same issues running SBS 7.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 (and most previous versions). Since this has been an ongoing issue since at least 7.3.4, can something not be done to address this in a future update of SBS? -- archstanton archstanton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

As he's using Ubuntu I guess he's using runlevel 5 which means that he has to look in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d In my setup (Fedora 11) I see the following 2 commands (which are links to the corresponding /etc/init.d entry): S10network S11named S80squeezeboxserver K10network K11named K80squeezeboxserver The first 3 characters determine the order of startup (S) or shutdown (K). A low number gets started earlier and killed later. The above setup makes sure that of the three entries the network is started first, then the nameserver and after that squeezeboxserver. Shutting down is the opposite order. If squeezeboxserver has a lower number than named or network it probably won't start up... -- servies There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't. servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] How do I delay Squeezebox Server startup till after network connects
In spite of moving to 7.5 I continue to have issues with Squeezebox server and DNS on my Ubuntu 8.10 box. Like others I get the dreaded "can't resolve IP address" for my various internet radio stations. If I restart the Squeezebox server once I'm in this condition, no issues at all. It seems that the smartest thing to do, is to add some sort of delay timing into the startup sequence that waits for the network to get properly connected, then launch squeezecenter server. Can someone advise on how I can add an appropriate delay into the start up sequence? -- kennyschiff kennyschiff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11363 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72283 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
