Description GMoney 2008-12-19 20:56:09 UTC

Several users have had the problem described here, which renders SqueezeCenter totally unable to start up:

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=373382#post373382

This is not a problem with Perl 5.10, as it happened to me running Perl 5.8.8-7etch5 on Debian etch.  SqueezeCenter randomly stopped working.  Only deleting /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/plugin-data.yaml (a zero byte file) solved the problem after an upgrade from SqueezeCenter 7.2 did not.

Traceback when starting the server manually:

Ross, can you investigate this one

Comment 2 Chris Owens 2009-03-30 17:31:34 UTC

Since there's now a planned 7.3.3 release, bugs which won't make the cut-off are being moved to the next target out.  If you feel that this bug needs to be addressed more (or less) urgently than the 7.4 release, please cc chris@slimdevices.com and leave a comment in the bug to that effect so we can review it.

Thanks.

Comment 3 Chris Owens 2009-03-31 08:54:00 UTC

For some reason Bugzilla did not change the target when I did this yesterday.  Or maybe it was me.  In either case, I'm trying it again.

Comment 4 Ben Klaas 2009-08-26 07:52:14 UTC

this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.

Comment 5 Ross Levine 2009-10-01 16:23:22 UTC

I'm not able to reproduce with Ubuntu, is this still a problem with 7.4?

Comment 6 James Richardson 2009-10-22 11:30:30 UTC

We aren't able to replicate this issue.  Please re-test with the latest 7.4.1, if you are still able to replicate please reopen and include new data.
