Description rss@tregare.net 2008-12-31 03:21:23 UTC
This machine is a debian sid.

I am using 

deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main

as my apt-get url.

I have discovered that squeezecenter keeps restarting even when stopped and then restarted.

Only reinstalling squeezecenter works to get it running.

apt-get install --reinstall squeezecenter

When I try the above squeezecenter starts and runs.

Stopping squeezecenter and restarting it does not work.

What is different startup that is carried out by the postinstall of the debian package with respect to init.d scripts?

Ross, can you have a look at this one.
Comment 2 rss@tregare.net 2009-01-05 07:01:29 UTC
I have som more information regarding this.

I have tried without success the following

1) use the running mysql instance in on the box. This has no effect however apt-get install --reinstall does allow me to make use of the already running mysql instance. This is good as SC uses less resources then.

2) Updating my perl 5.10 from CPAN. This had no effect on the functioning of SC it still dies and restarts

3) tried to invoke SC in the same manner as the postinst script i.e invoke-rc.d squeezecenter start after first stopping SC and verifying that no SC process is running. This also has resulted in SC dieing and restarting.

I guess the automatic deconfigure that happens with a reinstall does something and the reinstall does something more that allows SC to start

Seeing the same issue on my Debian Sid install. After a system reboot the only way I have been able to start Squeezecenter is to perform a reinstall.

Adding info:

I have solved the problem.

I have installed the Term class from cpan and in that standard debian deleted the Term class and the the /usr/lib/perl/5.10.0/auto/Term directory. All is now working upon restart. I came accross solution by accident and the resolution for met is moot as I have managed to get squeezecenter 7.3.2 running on my nslu2.

Hope this helps

Bruce can you install Term class from cpan and see if it helps?
Comment 7 Bruce Lorimer 2009-02-28 13:25:39 UTC
I updated to the latest nightly (Version: 7.3.3 - 25156) at the time and this issue has resolved itself. I did not have to install the suggested CPAN module.

We are now planning to make a 7.3.3 release.  Please review your bugs (all marked open against 7.3.3) to see if they can be fixed in the next few weeks, or if they should be retargeted for 7.4 or future.

Thanks!
Comment 9 Chris Owens 2009-03-30 17:31:44 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.

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.

Feel free to re-open, this isn't easily reproduced and likely resolved.
