SE Linux under Fedora can cause problems with Slimserver. I use a PC that is 100% dedicated as a Slimserver music box so I simply turned SE Linux off. You may also need to fiddle with Fedora's firewall settings. (I'm using FC6 now and had used FC4 previously.) -- mlsstl

Are you sure that the RPM install is failing to create the slimserver user? That would be quite strange. Take a look at /etc/passwd to see if it's there. In any event, it sounds like you're trying to run slimserver as the root user, not the slimserver user. You need to start it with the init s

Hi, I'm trying to setup slimserver on my new installation of fedora zod (I'm new to linux administration). I downloaded the current version of slimserver, using the package manager to install it. Slimserver installs fine, and claims to start, but just falls over immediately. It looks like it's

I'm totally new to Linux/Ubuntu and I have just installed Slimserver. It's working just fine, but I have my music folder on a second hdd (/media/sdb) and every time I start the os I have to manually mount that drive. Is there a way to automatically have it mounted when the computer is started? The

I've recently set up a new Ubuntu server with slimserver (from apt-get) on it. It's seems to be working but I'm missing my old familiar squeezebox font (which I have on my FSG and Windows version of slimserver). Perhaps there are some font files (e.g. xxx.font.bmp) that I can just copy-paste, but
