Hi Andy,
If you can afford to spend some money (any money), the path with the
most certain and expedient outcome would be for you to buy a more
powerful machine with an operating system that you can comfortably work
with from the start. If you decide to give linux a try, be careful not

First off, thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'm well versed in the
Windows (and DOS) worlds, and am comfortable banging my head against
the wall trying to get computers to work like they should, but haven't
gotten my feet wet with Linux/Unix yet.
With regard to the NTFS issue, I have plenty

Hi All,
Earlier in the year and before purchasing a SB I moved to Ubuntu on my
laptop, dual boot with XP. I use Ubuntu for all my day to day pc tasks
and have been a big fan ever since.
When I bought the Duet the first choice was to run SB & SC via Ubuntu
however the majority of issues in gettin

If your music is on the disk and formatted NTFS, you need to figure out
how you're going to reformat the disk and get the music back on it -
where are you going to put it?
AFAIK, you can't run linux on a one partition, NTFS disk.
Possible, you could use something like partition magic to carve ou
Hi all - Thanks for taking the time to look into this for me.
In answer to your questions :-
* I Checked FreeNAS UPnP service - It was not enabled.
* Current Slimnas is v1.1.2, Squeezecenter 7.2.1-23502-noCPAN.
* Versions kept the same at last three rebuilds.
* Squeezecenter carries on running
I have just put together an 8.04 kubuntu system from scratch and had no
apparmor issues at all. I cut and pasted the rep into adept manager.
The only other programme I added was firefox as konqueror isn't a
supported browser. I have had some issues with getting the browser to
get to the default g
Yes, I already submitted a patch to Logitech that should fix the
problems.
It looks like they finally patched the bug in 7.3 trunk, but haven't
fixed it in the 7.2 release deb. They also don't fix the bug where a
user upgrades to 8.04+ from a previous release. Oh well, I guess most

I have a 400Mhz / 512 MB RAM computer running Xubuntu 7.10.
It runs SC ok, but I had to convert my music from Apple Lossless to
FLAC, as the PC isn't powerful enough to transcode Apple Lossless at a
decent rate.
You can easily try out Xubuntu using the 'LiveCD' option on the Xubuntu
website (bas
With that amount of ram I would probably run the light-weight Xubuntu
version of Ubuntu. You could also use the Ubuntu server (no GUI at
all) version.
Either one would probably perform a bit better than XP with that
hardware.

After trawling through lots of posts here regarding issues with apparmor
and the slim server not starting, I thought I'd share how I got it
working.
First up I installed by adding :
deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main
to my /etc/apt/sources.list
then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get i

I'm running SqueezeCenter on a dedicated WinXP computer right now. It's
very underpowered, but generally gets the job done. I'm wondering if I
could expect better performance by using some variant of Unix rather
than WinXP, which seems to be way overkill for what I need this machine
to do.

No. The changes are in 7.3 only.

No intelligence built into SlimNAS. If it crashes, it crashes. I'd suggest he

User said that SB works after "port in use" error and no restart was
done.
My understanding is that user is running slimnas 1.12 - it was upgraded
7.2.0 and 7.2.1. Not sure what is running now.
Are there issues about a user upgrade of SlimNas to SC 7.2.x (e.g.
OSDetect) ?

> Michael, can you confirm that a "FATAL" error should stop SC.
Definitely. Looking at the code which is throwing those messages, it must stop.
I could only imagine the first fatal was thrown by SC, the second by the
scanner or something.

Michael, can you confirm that a "FATAL" error should stop SC.
In the log files attached there are 3 FATAL errors yet Slimnas
continues running which seems to be wrong.

I also have the srvpowerctrl plugin working on my Ubuntu server. I also
had to make a squeezecenter group, and the install script did not work,
so I installed it manually. Now both hibernate, shutdown etc. works
nicely.
Be aware ! the plugin does NOT work on SC 7.3, I have tried this, but
