Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1
I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Being an linux newbie this process was slightly painful. Fortunately, I've got everything up and running. I went back and did a fresh install of 8.04. My rationale is that most of the documentation on the web is geared toward this version. I immediately installed all of the updates. I used these instructions to mount my freenas shares: http://thatsquality.com/linux/mounting-windows-smb-file-shares-using-cifs The wiki on this topic is about the same, but difficult for me to understand. Using the file browser I right clicked on these newly mounted shares and was able to create working symlinks, which I copied to my music folder. I installed squeezecenter with these instructions: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/DebianPackage I used the testing main option and 7.3.2 (24460) got installed. It ran and played music perfectly. Scanned all of my files (about 32k). Even my 24/96 flacs played. The only residual issue is that the machine hangs when it restarts. Apparently this is a known issue with unmounting of the cifs volumes. I setup desktop remote and can get in with VNC from my vista lappy. The squeezecenter menu is available also through port 9000. The last step is to unplug the montior and keyboard and tuck it away. I'm a little nervous it will stop working after I move it. There is also a squeezecenter update waiting to be downloaded. I'm not sure I will until something stops working. The squeezebox is better than I expected and this process has been totally worth it. -- jbraveman jbraveman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1
I'd greatly recommend goping to the Ubuntu forums. Everything (except for listening to m4a's) can be set up without going to the command line interface (with its potential risks to Linux newbies, don't ask me how I know). There are programs in open universe to set up volume management, and about the first thing you should do after installing Ubuntu is to go to software updates and look for "restricted" Ubuntu packages, which will give you everything SC needs to run smoothly. I did a clean install of SC 7.3 on a Ubuntu 8.10 system, and the only time I used the command line was for the custom-convert file. I am pablolie in the Ubuntu forums as well, and I think first time vanilla Ubuntu installers can probably learn quite a bot of the stuff needed to get SC and some other software to run by checking my questions there. -- 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=57502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1
First off, let's clean things up and make sure SC is correctly installed. Make sure that you have added SC to your repository via a text entry in /etc/apt/sources.list: Code: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , scroll through the file and check your entry according to http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/DebianPackage. Then run the following: Code: sudo apt-get remove --purge squeezecenter sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install squeezecenter If your library is located on the Freenas box and you're wanting to connect from another Linux box I'd recommend you use NFS and mount the library as follows: Code: sudo mount freenas_server_ip/name:/share /local/mount_point If you need to use SAMBA, first off, let's make sure you have 'samba/ cifs correctly installed:' (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Samba_File_Sharing) Code: sudo apt-get install samba samba-tools system-config-samba After all the abovementioned has been completed you need to point SC to your library.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1
Thanks for the help. Links were created sucessfully but I'm not sure they work. Squeezecenter doesn't scan them. When I click on the link it itinally says that the link is broken, but then says it's opening. It never opens, but just hangs. The file browser is broken again and doesn't see the other network computers. However, I am able to bring up the freenas drives using the connect to server function. I had trouble connecting to to squeezecenter and was getting browser time outs and page not found errors. I did a clean install as per the instructions on the debian wiki page and that seemed to help that problem. I'm thinking about starting over with a fresh install of 8.1 and figuring out another way to map the freenas drives. I'm guessing the links are broken because the drives are not mounted properly. What would be the best way to mount the freenas drives in Ubuntu 8.1? CIFS? NFS?

Your /etc/fstab file (as you've correctly edited it) is trying to use the cifs file system; but 'mount' looks like it's reporting that you haven't got it installed. And that makes sense, given that you couldn't get the smbfs package. What's the output from doing this in a terminal? dpkg --get-selections | grep smb If you've not got smbfs installed, that's what you need to research/fix. I've had a bit of a quick dig about to see if there's any problem with the Intrepid repos, and I can't turn up anything obvious. So... This is a bit fast and dirty, but try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and removing the # from in front of all the lines that begin "# deb http://..."; Save sources.list, and then do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade When it's finished, again try sudo aptitude install smbfs If it fails again, try a different repo. Go to , open Settings/Repositories, then click the 'Download from' dropdown; select 'Other' and click the 'Select Best Server' button, and 'Choose server', etc. Then go to a terminal and do again sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade sudo aptitude install smbfs Does that get your smb/cifs installed? -- Diana Diana's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7463 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1
I did this: First, let's create the mount folder. You will need a separate folder for each mount. sudo mkdir /media/mountname Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line: //servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 Where * guest indicates you don't need a password to access the share, * uid=1000 makes the Linux-user with specified uid or username owner of the mounted share, thereby allowing that user to rename files, * the combination iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode allows access to files with names in non-English languages. This doesn't work with shares of devices like the Buffalo Tera Station, or Windows machines that export their shares using ISO8895-15. With these the codepage argument has to be codepage=cp850, otherwise characters like the German 'Umlaute' are displayed as garbage. After you added the entry to /etc/fstab type: sudo mount -a I got this: jos...@dell-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.250/Disk1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Specific instructions for the freenas would be most appreciated. thx. -- jbraveman jbraveman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
