Squeezeboxserver on arm Linux

[castalla]

I installed the arm version of SBS. When I run the server file there are no error messages.

However, when I check running services the server is not listed.

If anyone is willing to help or comment then I can post the exact message I get when I run the slimserver.pl file.

In the hope that some0ne can help - here's the output when I run the slimserver script

user@SmartQ:/opt/squeezeboxserver-7.5.4-32171-arm-linux$ sudo ./slimserver.pl --user sq --pidfile /var/run/squeezebox.pid --daemon
NOTE: Class::XSAccessor 1.05+ not found, install it for better performance

user@SmartQ:/opt/squeezeboxserver-7.5.4-32171-arm-linux$

And yet ... there's no service running ???

Hi Castella,

I'm no Linux/Unix expert, but why run the .pl file, if there's a startscript that does all the work for you?

I've been wrestling with Slimserver on a La Cie Networkspace (which runs an ARM version of Linux) and the Slimserver installation package comes with startscripts.

Look for anything that looks like S99Slimserver (I my case). You'll find it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d or somewhere in your installation package.

Thanks for the reply!

I ran the pl file cecause that's what the instructions (forget where thet are!) said to do!

The linux versions are a pain compared to Windows!!

The linux versions are a pain compared to Windows!!

Squeezebox Server is just as buggy under Windows(UAC, scanner.exe etc)

Check /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log

I assume you'll see things like Squeezeboxserver died, Restarting etc.


What is the hardware beyond "arm"?
What Linux is it running?
What did you install exactly?
Eg deb package, source package, using apt-get or similar, using some install wizard, using a package by someone else?

It's some time ago - I'll have to fire up the device to get to the logs.

It's Ubuntu 9.04 on a smartq V5 tablet

I used the deb package installer.

I'll search the logs and report back.

Thanks.
