Preset file and folder permissions

Mnyb — 2012-05-23T02:15:41

I know how change permissions and owners on files and folders .

But this is applies to files and folders that's already there . So you
have to fix such things after the fact.

I want a folder where new files and folders that are added get a
specific set of permissions regardless of what the app that created it
was ( or which user was running it )

LMS on openelec

albertone74 — 2012-05-22T18:40:18

Dear all,
I have just installed openelec on my server and now I would like to
install LMS. To be honest I really don't know how to do add the
repository and then run the sudo apt-get command as I was used to do it
under Ubuntu 12.04. I like this distro as it has recognized the infrared
port just out of the box!
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Server keeps dying...?

audiomuze — 2012-05-20T09:48:15

Just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 64 bit on my Microserver and
installed Squeezeboxserver using the following:

/etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
--------------------
    
  # Squeezebox
  deb http://debian.slimdevices.com testing main
--------------------


To remove any remnants of previous installs:

Code:
--------------------
    sudo apt-get remove --purge squeezeboxserver && sudo apt-get install squeezeboxserver
--------------------


The installation goes fine but Squeezeboxserver never comes out of a
coma.  Looking at /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log the first entry
reads:
Code:
--------------------
    2012-05-20 10:08:32 squeezeboxserver_safe started.
--------------------

following which all there is, is a continuous string of entries that
read:

Code:
--------------------
    2012-05-20 10:08:37 Squeezebox Server died. Restarting.
  .
  .
  .
  2012-05-20 11:44:24 Squeezebox Server died. Restarting.
  2012-05-20 11:44:29 Squeezebox Server died. Restarting.
  
--------------------
  It looks like it tries to restart every few seconds.

I've not idea what could be causing it, any tips?

Log files say another copy of LMS running.

Enginemusic — 2012-05-18T04:24:55

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:

any folder I pick up (like for example /home/user/music) when I hit the

How to manage running multiple branchs of LMSgit code

gharris999 — 2012-05-15T02:06:05

This is proposed wiki how-to.  I thought I'd roll it out here first to
elicit comments.  Anyone please chime in here.  If I receive enough
positive feedback, I'll author a wiki page on this topic.

Goal:

Using minimal download bandwidth and a minimal on-disc footprint, allow
one to run any branch of squeezeboxserver / logitechmediaserver as a
service and to easily allow switching between installed branches.

Assumptions:

    
- Running on Ubuntu or some debian based distro.
- Service will run under the user account 'lms'.
- Local git repository will reside at /usr/share/lms/server.
- We'll create separate data and log directories for any branch we're
  going to run.
- Those data and log dirs will be at /var/lib/lms_data/${BRANCHNAME}
  and /var/log/lms_log/${BRANCHNAME}
- Those data and log dirs will be linked to /var/lib/lms and
  /var/log/lms
- We'll create a generic 'lms' service for running the code.
- We'll have a script for easily switching between branches.
  
Preparation:

Become root

Code:
--------------------
    sudo su
--------------------


Create the lms user account:

Code:
--------------------
    useradd --gid nogroup --no-create-home --no-user-group --system --shell /bin/false "lms"
--------------------


Download the latest version of the repo:

Code:
--------------------
    git clone -n --depth 1 https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver.git /usr/share/lms/server
--------------------

Note: by downloading only the latest revisions for every branch, we keep
the downloaded object file to about 250M.  Remove the "--depth 1" from
that command to make previous revisions available.

Checkout branch 7.8 

Code:
--------------------
    
  cd /usr/share/lms/server
  git checkout 7.8
  
--------------------



Create data and log dirs for the 7.8 branch

Code:
--------------------
    
  mkdir -p /var/lib/lms_data/7.8
  chown -R lms:nogroup /var/lib/lms_data
  mkdir -p /var/log/lms_log/7.8
  chown -R lms:nogroup /var/log/lms_log
  
--------------------


Create links to the data and log dirs..

Code:
--------------------
    
  ln -s /var/lib/lms /var/lib/lms_data/7.8
  ln -s /var/log/lms /var/log/lms_log/7.8
  
--------------------


Create a defaults file for the service..
/etc/default/lms:

Code:
--------------------
    SLIMDESC='LMS branch 7.8 git code'
  SLIMUSER='lms'
  SLIMOPTIONS=''
  
--------------------


Create a service control script..
/etc/init.d/lms:

Code:
--------------------
    
  TBD
  
--------------------


Create a service safe script..
/usr/sbin/lms_safe:

Code:
--------------------
    
  TBD
  
--------------------


Create a log rotate script..
/etc/logrotate.d/lms:

Code:
--------------------
    
  TBD
  
--------------------


Create service control links:

Code:
--------------------
    
  update-rc.d -f lms remove >/dev/null 2>&1
  update-rc.d -f lms defaults
  
--------------------


Create a branch switching script:
/usr/local/sbin/lms-switch-branch.sh

Code:
--------------------
    
  #!/bin/sh
  
  NEWBRANCH='7.8'
  ISGOODBRANCH=0
  #Discard local changes...
  DISCARD=0
  #Update repo
  UPDATE=0
  
  if [ ! -z "$1" ]; then
  NEWBRANCH="$1"
  fi
  
  # Change to the repo dir..
  cd /usr/share/lms/server
  
  # Get a list of the available branches..
  BRANCHES=`git branch -r | sed -n -e 's#^.*origin/\(.*\)$#\1#p'`
  
  for BRANCH in $BRANCHES
  do
  if [ "$NEWBRANCH" = "$BRANCH" ]; then
  ISGOODBRANCH=1
  fi
  done
  
  if [ $ISGOODBRANCH -lt 1 ]; then
  echo "Error: ${NEWBRANCH} is not a branch of github.com/Logitech/slimserver.git"
  exit 1
  fi
  
  # Stop the service..
  service lms stop
  
  # Do a hard reset of the repo to discard any local changes..
  if [ $DISCARD -gt 0 ]; then
  git reset --hard
  git clean -fd
  fi
  
  # Switch to the new branch
  git checkout "$NEWBRANCH"
  
  # Update the repo
  if [ $UPDATE -gt 0 ]; then
  git pull
  fi
  
  # Create new data & log dirs..
  LIBDIR="/var/lib/lms_data/${NEWBRANCH}"
  LOGDIR="/var/log/lms_log/${NEWBRANCH}"
  
  if [ ! -d "$LIBDIR" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$LIBDIR"
  fi
  
  if [ ! -d "$LOGDIR" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$LOGDIR"
  fi
  
  # Fix permissions

  chown -r lms:nogroup "$LOGDIR"
  
  # Create new data & log links
  LIBDIRLINK='/var/lib/lms'

  fi
  
  # Restart the service..
  service lms start
  exit $?
  
  
--------------------


That's it for now.  I haven't included the service control scripts, etc.
Mostly, I'm looking for comments here on the advisability of this
approach.

Bash script to reconfigure network

gharris999 — 2012-05-02T16:31:17

I always put my squeezebox servers on a static ip address at x.x.x.222. 
I have a series of scripts that I use to configure eth0, the firewall
and samba for the static ip.  I'd like to come up with a way for
rc.local to figure out if a server has been moved to a new subnet and
then automagically reconfigure the network interface, etc.  This is what
I've come up with thus far.  I'm sure it can be improved upon.  Anyone
have any ideas?


Code:

  # script to reconfigure network if the subnet changes..
  
  DEFAULTIP='192.168.0.222'

  echo "Attempting to ping ${ROUTER}.."
  /bin/ping -c 1 $ROUTER > /dev/null 2>&1
  
  #if ping -c 1 $ROUTER > /dev/null 2>&1
  if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
  echo "${ROUTER} does not respond to ping.."

  sleep 30
  pkill -n -f 'dhclient -1 -d -nw eth0'
  DHCPSERVER=`cat $DHCPINFO | sed -n -e 's/^DHCPOFFER.* from\(.*\)$/\1/p'`

Does the latest Squeezeplay download work

SlimChances — 2012-04-29T20:19:44

Has anyone succeeded in getting the latest(7.8) or any of the
Squeezeplay .deb downloads to install and work correctly. Presently I am
running Squeezeplay on Ubuntu 10.10 that I was able to compile with
instructions from this site
http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/11/22/compiling-squeezeplay-on-linux-ubuntu-amd64/.
The instructions are quite old now and I am building a new computer with
Ubuntu 12.04 and am hopeful that there is a simple way to download and
install Squeezeplay.
I say I compiled Squeezeplay originally but it was with quite specific
instructions and I would not know how to to do it otherwise.

Cron support for SrvrPowerCtrl

gharris999 — 2012-04-28T12:43:53

Please forgive this self-promoting cross post, but I've just added a new
feature to the Server Power Control plugin which may be of interest to
LMS linux users.  

In prior versions, Server Power Control has had the ability to program a
server's RTC wake alarm hardware so that suspended or hibernating
servers were woken out of slumber in order to service Squeezebox alarms
or scheduled library scans, etc.  Now, I've added the ability for Server
Power Control to parse the root contab and schedule system wake-ups
based on events there too.  MS Windows has had this sort of ability
built-into the system event scheduler since (I believe) Vista.  But I
haven't known of a similar facility in Linux.  Server Power Control now
tries to fill that gap.

Example:  say you've added the event:


Code:
--------------------
    
  0 2 * * 2 /usr/local/sbin/big-chores.sh
  
--------------------

..via # sudo crontab -e

..i.e. cron runs the big-chores.sh script file every Tuesday at 2:00 am.
SrvrPowerCtrl will now examine the crontab (via sudo crontab -l),
determine when the next event will occur, and schedule a system wake-up
for five minutes beforehand.

This option was actually pretty trivial to add.  Abhijit Menon-Sen's
Set::Crontab and P Kent's Schedule::Cron::Events do most of the heavy
lifting.

If you're using SrvrPowerCtrl and you upgrade to this new version,
please remember to re-run the setup script.  This will add permissions
in /etc/sudoers so that the squeezeboxserver user can list the root
crontab via # sudo contab -l.

New desktop what now ?

Hi I'm been solely on Linux for the last few years ( except work ) and
been relatively happy with ubuntu up to 10.04 + Cairo docks which I have
now . ( win XP drive died unnoticed in the background one day a couple
ofmyears ago )

Now it's time to retire the old dual core P4 from 2005 :P I'm using ( it
is coming to pieces mucho internal parts broken )

So I've ordered some newfangled stuff with i7 ssd 16gb memory etc and
gtx680 , it will ship with win 7 of course .
So that I could play some games again ( it was years since I've done
that ) and running the software you can't on Linux .

But for everyday use is till like a Linux distro ? But what ?

Ubuntu made thier OS to a cellphone with unity ? I have no problem with
gnome 2.3 + Cairo docks I've never tried kde or xfce ? Does choice of
desktop limit you choice of applications ?

What now Mint 12, Fedora 16 , Suse ? Aargh :-/

Streaming volume control?

cptdondo — 2012-04-21T13:32:02

I am new to Squeezebox.

I am trying to set up a system where the music being played can be
controlled through a browser.  I set up squeezebox server and loaded my
music.  So far so good.

For the player, I am using mplayer streaming:

mplayer -really-quiet -cache 8192 -cache-min 5
URL_WOULD_GO_HERE/stream.mp3

This works really well, except that the volume control in the Squeezebox
server doesn't work.  I need a volume control...

So... How should I set up Squeezebox server + some sort of software
player to play music with a functional volume control in the squeezebox
server?

Is there some way to hook the Squeezebox server directly into
pulseaudio?

upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04?

I just went to install security updates on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine and
was told it was no longer supported, and I should do an upgrade to

How much risk is there in letting it do the upgrade?  The alternative,
painful as it sounds, is to rebuild the machine from scratch using
11.04.  There are some things I'd have to fight to reconfigure,
including the modem (used for caller id display on the sb devices),
samba, and some other filesharing stuff.  Not my preference to
rebuild...

Thanks for any input.

sqeezeserver hogging CPU

jwb — 2012-04-15T21:43:25

Hi folks- My computer has been acting a little slow on certain things
lately. Streaming videos, for one. I checked the broadband speed; it's
good. So, then I go to the system monitor. No weird processes seem to be
running, and yet as I check out CPU usage, I get this weird wavelike
pattern where the CPUs max out every 5 seconds and then go back down.

I ran the command
$ top -n 10
and it identified squeezeserver as a big CPU hog. The system monitor
wasn't picking it up, because the squeezeserver is not logged in as me,
but rather as user "squeezeb"

I tested. Yep, running:
sudo service squeezeboxserver stop
knocks the CPU usage back down to usual, humming along at under 40%.
And 
sudo service squeezeboxserver start
pops it back up to bouncing between 60 and 100%.

Any idea what is going on? Thanks!
John

[Announce] Logitech Media Server 7.7.2 forGentoo in Portage

hickinbottoms — 2012-04-12T14:59:27

After a shockingly long delay I've finally got around to producing an
updated ebuild for Gentoo. This has now been reviewed and has been
incorporated into Portage as the following package:

media-sound/logitechmediaserver-bin

As the package name suggests this is a binary ebuild and therefore
avoids nearly all of the Perl dependencies of the previous
'squeezeboxserver' ebuilds. This should make it quite a lot easier to
install as well as being more likely to work correctly. This comes at
the slight price of bundling libraries with a package, but managing the
Perl dependencies had really become untenable with the old-style
ebuild.

Please give it a go if you've been waiting for that on Gentoo, and file
bugs on the Gentoo Bugzilla if you get any problems. Note that you'll
have to unmerge your previous install of 'media-sound/squeezeboxserver'
or 'media-sound/squeezecenter' first (you'll be told there are packages
blocking the install otherwise).

This ebuild should migrate your preferences and plugins from your
current install (follow the instructions at the end of the emerge
concerning "emerge --config" to do that), but note that only a SQLite
database is supported at present. I hope to re-introduce MySQL support
soon but wanted to get an initial working ebuild out first.

If there's anybody still listening then thanks for your patience.

Stuart

direction?

Many thanks.

Request for Solaris package

avgjoe — 2012-04-09T07:40:09

I'm running Solaris 11 and have tried to get the latest LMS source built
and running on my machine but keep running into problems.  I followed a
few of the solutions posted here but keep running into more and more. 
Is it possible for someone to create a package for Solaris for us?

7.7.2 on Ubuntu - no 3rd party plugins?

Blue_Atom — 2012-04-05T22:11:06

Hello all,

as per the title, I've just installed 7.7.2 on Ubuntu and I don't have
the option to install 3rd party plugins so I can't get Triode's iPlayer
working on my Booms. Are there any tips or tricks for this? It worked
fine under 7.7.1.

Here's my info;

Rsync helper script

gharris999 — 2012-03-31T21:13:46

If you're like me, your aging neurons can't hold all the myriad rsync
options that make it such a powerful utility.  In fact, I find rsync's
syntax so counter intuitive that I usually have to spend a half-hour
consulting the man page every time I use it.

In an attempt to make rsync more usable for myself, I've written a
shell script front-end that uses Windows robocopy.exe like syntax and
then translates that into rsync syntax.

Example, using this script, the simple command:

Code:
--------------------
    
  # robocopy -s /mnt/Media/Music /mnt/MediaNew/Music '*.flac'
  
--------------------

..i.e. copy all the flac files from one directory tree to another..gets
translated into and then executed as the following rsync command:

Code:
--------------------
    
  rsync --links --perms --times --group --owner --devices --specials --stats --progress --verbose --prune-empty-dirs --recursive --include='*/' --include='*.flac' --exclude='*' '/mnt/Media/Music/' '/mnt/MediaNew/Music'
  
--------------------

This script is a work in progress.  Please let me know in this thread
if you find it useful, if you've found bugs --AND-- if you have any
code corrections / additions.

Enjoy.

FreeNAS 8.2 anyone?

slimnick — 2012-03-27T21:48:18

Hi everyone

I'm about to start building a new music server and am really keen to
use FreeNAS, mainly for its simplicity and ZFS support. I've messed
around with it a bit in VirtualBox and have struggled to find a way to
get LMS 7.7.1 working on it. Has anyone figured out a way to make this
work?

Even better, any chance Logitech might develop an LMS plugin-module for
FreeNAS?

Thanks in advance,
Nick
