    Log files say another copy of LMS running.

    Copying this from thread about CPU hogging as I'm not sure it's the same issue the OP of that thread has. I appear to have two copies of LMS running on my machine.

    Dualcore 2Ghz system with 2G ram, running Kubuntu 12.04. System is not "stuck" scanning music folder. I have no plugins and am using LMS 7.7.2 - r33893

    I just looked at the LMS log file and see this:

    /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/lib/Log/Log4perl/Logger.pm line 900
    2012-05-16 19:19:42 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
    [12-05-16 19:19:43.5750] main::init (354) Starting Logitech Media Server (v7.7.2, r33893, Wed Mar 14 05:46:46 PDT 2012) perl 5.014002
    [12-05-16 19:19:43.7058] Slim::Networking::UDP::init (39) FATAL: There is already another copy of the Logitech Media Server running on this machine. (Address already in use)
    [12-05-16 19:19:43.7061] Log::Log4perl::Logger::and_die (868) Warning: FATAL: There is already another copy of the Logitech Media Server running on this machine. (Address already in use) at /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/lib/Log/Log4perl/Logger.pm line 900

    This happens (and gets logged) about every five seconds, constantly. How do I fix this?

    I had the same problem recently.
    In /etc/init.d there were two scripts:
    An old squeezeboxserver and a new logitechmediaserver one.

    The actual install is still under squeezeboxserver directories, but due to the two scripts it was started twice.
    Did you know: SqueezePlayer will stream all your music to your Android device. Take your music everywhere!
    Remote Control + Streaming to your iPad? Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad

    yeah!

    Thanks Bluegsapode! Deleted the Squeezeboxserver entry from init.d directory and all is well. My CPU thanks you. I wonder if there was a mechanism for the old entry to be removed when SBS was renamed LMS.

    I do also notice that when I'm on the server settings page the page seems to get refreshed every five seconds or so - is this normal?
