Hi. I tried following the thread about this issue in another thread but it got off on some kind of hardware failure tangent and was frankly, over my head.

I had this 6.5 version running just fine. Then I did an Ubuntu update. This messed up nvidia slightly, so I ran a script called 'envy' from Ubuntu that fixed my nvidia problem. Then, when I tried to restart slimserver, I got this:

damon@LinuxOne:~/apps/SlimServer_v6.5.0$ ./slimserver.pl

-----------
Ubuntu's package installer shows me as having an up-to-date version of perl, at least, up-to-date as far as Ubuntu is concerned.

Is there a simple path out of this mess? I've got a Squeezebox (1). My old server still has slimserver 6.2.1 installed on it, and I've got that running in the mean time.

Thanks,
