Hi, I have been running 7.9.2 on my Ubuntu 18.04.03 LTS system since
February, and it has been working great.

I originally installed it from the nightly build package using apt.

Today I downloaded the nightly build for 7.9.3 and first tried
installing/upgrading it with dpkg -i
logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_1591161343_i386.deb

There were messages about changing the ownership of the files in
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ from group slim to group nogroup.

The server would not run at that point. 
/var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log updated every five seconds with the
message: 

2020-06-30 09:36:35 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

I tried changing the file group ownership to "slim" and restarted the
logitechmediaserver service.

Same behavior and messages.  

I removed the package with 

apt purge logitechmediaserver 

and deleted /var/lib/squezeboxserver.  Then I installed it again with 

apt install ./logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_1591161343_i386.deb

Same messages and behavior.  

Is there a way to find out why the server is dying?  When I originally
installed under Ubuntu, I had a problem with using an old server.prefs
file that was pointing to an old music db location, and when I deleted
the old server.prefs the server started and I was able to follow the
setup wizard through the web interface.  But this time I'm working with
no server.prefs file in place (or any other files in the prefs
directory) before installing.  So I'm stuck.  I could really use some
more detailed error messages, or a better understanding of where all the
LMS files are stored so I can make sure I'm starting from a blank slate
when I install.
