It doesn't look to me like residual LMS files are your problem right
now.
Let's try it with the suse-specific tools to see if that helps at all: I
tend to use YAST in the gui(or terminal) and zypper at the command line,
which I've found -sometimes- resolves dependencies better than rpm does
directly.
- If you go to YAST>Services Manager, is squeezeboxserver listed?
(This is just a question- the answer doesn't change next steps)
- Head to YAST>Software Management, search for logitechmediaserver,
and if found mark it to Delete, then Accept.
- In a terminal, navigate to where the LMS rpm is that you want, and
install it with zypper, eg :
Code:
--------------------
zypper in ./logitechmediaserver-8.0.1-0.1.1607087403.noarch.rpm
--------------------
I'm hoping that this reinstall using zypper might fix the service
configuration for you.
