You could have chosen the ARM only build - it's much smaller and should
have all you need.

Yeah, that wouldn't work.

Have fun!

How do you uninstall a plugin without the web UI (Linux)?

Hi all,

I've asked this already in the ickStream termination thread, but it's gathered almost zero traction so I thought I'd try here. Basically, I'm pretty sure that the termination of the ickStream service is killing my LMS (7.9.1). However, as I can't connect via the web UI, I'm not sure exactly what I need to do to get rid of the suspect ickStream plugin. Before, I start randomly deleting anything named ickStream from my Ubuntu (17.10) server, It'd be nice to know how this should actually be done. Anyone done this?

Thanks in advance,

Loz

Did you try to start LMS with --failsafe, which would disable the 3rd
party plugins?

I hadn't. Is the syntax?:

service logitechmediaserver restart --failsafe

I just did this, no improvement, but server.log didn't say that it had started in failsafe mode, so I'm not sure it actually did anything.

server.log output:

No, you'd have to add it to the startup parameters (sometimes defined in
something like /etc/defaults/logitechmediaserver or the like, or the
startup script itself).

Success! Thanks Michael.

So edited /etc/default/logitechmediaserver to look like this:

SLIMUSER=squeezeboxserver

SLIMOPTIONS="--failsafe"

Restarted using:

service logitechmediaserver restart

Went to plugins uninstalled ickStream. Then put startup file back to SLIMOPTIONS="", restarted again and all is working again. Yay!

Great summary - thanks a lot!

Had the exact same issue, but removed the plug-in directly on the server connected through SCP.
Just took a little while actually locating the right folder under CACHE (Synology)

[Louroux45]

Tested on RPI

Success! Thanks Michael.

The proposed solution works well on Raspberry too (raspbian)

Thanks

Hi. Probably having the same problem with my vortexbox, but I’m not that familiar with SSH. I’m able to login to the VB with Putty, but which commands should I use to replicate your steps to put LmS in failsafe mode?

Would you be able to install the latest nightly build from
http://downloads-origin.slimdevices....htly/?ver=7.9? Earlier this
week I did apply a change which might help with some connectivity
issues. I'm not sure whether the IckStream issue is the same, but it
might be worth a try (and easier than working on the command line).

Michael - thanks for your reply. Figured it out myself. Logged on via Putty and was able to find the plug-in folder and deleted it with some Linux commands, see my post here:https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...166&highlight=

Hi,
i have the same issue but it doesn't work for me.
I installed the logitechmediaserver version 7.9.1 on a raspberry pi 4 Model B running with Raspbian Buster (version Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software).
I edited the file \etc\default\logitechmediaserver and added "--failsafe" but it didn't solve the issue.
I still have ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when i enter <ip address of raspberry>:9000 in my web brower on my PC.
I tried on the raspberry with the same result.
Do you have any idea ? I 'm turning around.
thanks for your help

Is LMS even running? Check server.log

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I can see Squeezebox server running (by using top command line - if it's the right way...).
Could you please help me to find server.log on Raspbian ? I don't know where to find it. As you can see, I'm not very comfortable with Raspbian. I just installed it for the first time few days ago.
