Ubuntu: upgrade from 6.x to 7.x

[Juggler]

Call me cautious, but I have SlimServer v6.5 running perfectly. I see that SqueezeCentre v7.0 is now GA'd and I'd like to upgrade to it.

As I already have modified my sources.list file, can I just issue the commands:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade

Should I uninstall 6.5 first?

many thanks,
J.

I'm not sure this will work because the name has changed. So I think the following (as root)

apt-get remove slimserver
apt-get update
apt-get install squeezecenter

Please note spelling of squeezecenter

Best of luck

Alan

Hm, this doesn't work for me. After removing slimserver and installing squeezecenter there is no "Starting squeezecenter audio server" message and no squeezecenter-entry in /etc/init.d ...

Any ideas? (Ubuntu is 7.10)

Thanks
Arno

[egd]

add deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main to /etc/apt/sources.list and then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install squeezecenter

[welom]

add deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main to /etc/apt/sources.list and then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install squeezecenter

Did that, but that only installs 7.01 instead of 7.0 - with no luck either; still no "starting squeezecenter audio server".

In the last couple of weeks i tried several beta versions of 7.0, some were too buggy, some couldn't find my internet connection, but the last one i installed showed the same behavior (no squeezecenter in /etc/init.d) and i even had to manually delete all "slimserver" and "squeezecenter" files and directories to be able to re-install 6.5.4.

Maybe there are other files from that install that should be deleted?

This is the repo for 7.0:
deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main

To fully remove slimserver: sudo apt-get --purge remove slimserver

Also any plugins will require upgrading.

Still no luck..... after installing, those are the directories containing "squeezecenter"

• ./var/lib/squeezecenter
  ./var/log/squeezecenter
  ./usr/share/doc/squeezecenter
  ./usr/share/squeezecenter
  ./etc/squeezecenter

Is there a way to start squeezecenter without the script in /etc/init.d ?

Thanks
Arno

I don't think so.


Have you activated all the Ubuntu repo's in the "/etc/apt/sources.list"?
Do you get error messages when you "sudo apt-get install squeezecenter"?

If you don't have /etc/init.d/squeezecenter, then something is broken. What's the output of "dpkg -L squeezecenter"?

I think there may be a problem with the repository at the moment, I upgraded to SlimCenter about two weeks ago.

I am running Ubuntu and the Synaptic release manager has successfully applied at least three upgrades to SlimCenter since then.

However it failed this morning.

Synaptic recognizes that a new release is available and tries to upgrade from 7.0-17810 to 7.0-17813

When it tries to download the files the following error is returned:

W: Failed to fetch http://debian.slimdevices.com/pool/m...-17813_all.deb
404 Not Found

I'm using http://debian.slimdevices.com testing main
