SqueezeCenter died. Restarting.
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
It seems (via the beta forum) that Ubuntu users (multiple releases) are having issues with the latest debian nightlys. I am on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ~Dapper Drake bob@home-ferndale:~$ dmesg [17179569.184000] Linux version 2.6.15-51-386 (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Thu Dec 6 20:20:49 UTC 2007 I had forwarded the following via email yesterday.

looks like old version of mysql.
(In reply to comment #2) > looks like old version of mysql. > The Debian control file specifies that 4.1 is acceptable. Is that not true?
well, the point in that mysql seems to not be starting. looking again, it may be due to "080205 15:41:56 [ERROR] Error message file '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' had only 304 error messages, but it should contain at least 463 error messages." I've seen this mentioned before, but can't recall if it was reported as a bug, or just a forum thread.
Ah, I missed that message. I filed that bug a long time ago as bug 4615. At the time I thought it couldn't occur with the deb or RPM build... I'll look into it when I have a minute.
OK, I should've read this log a little closer the first time... (In reply to comment #0) > [08-02-05 15:41:56.5689] Slim::Utils::MySQLHelper::startServer (247) About to > start MySQL as a process with command: > [/usr/share/squeezecenter/Bin/i386-linux/mysqld > --defaults-file=/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/my.cnf] This is the problem. SC is running the bundled version of mysqld. This should not happen. In fact, past versions of the deb (correctly) did not ship anything in the Bin directory. I'm not sure if Matt added this back on purpose or not. > 080205 15:41:56 [ERROR] Error message file > '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' > had only 304 error messages, > but it should contain at least 463 error messages. > Check that the above file is the right version for this program! > 080205 15:41:56 [ERROR] Aborting And of course this error occurs because the bundled version of mysqld above is newer than the one pulled in from apt.

(In reply to comment #7) > Today's update. More of the same......... Bob, see my comment #6. To test my theory, try this: - Make sure SC is stopped - Delete (or move) /usr/share/squeezecenter/Bin/i386-linux/mysqld - Delete the contents of /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache - Try to start SC with /etc/init.d/squeezecenter start

(In reply to comment #10) > Ok That worked. Great. > Is there any other testing you want me to do? I will continue with the > nightlies. Matt already made this change to the deb later this AM, so just keep testing with those. Note the recent announcement in the beta forum that the 7.0 branch nightlies have moved from unstable to testing.
so, for the record, that's change 17351 ? note to matt, please try to add "bug: ####" to the commit comments as this creates a link between the commit entry and bugzilla when using viewcvs. Much goodness when trying to track through years of code to find the origin/reason for some changes. From bug report side "change #####" is the matching text that creates a link to viewcvs

marking fixed. thanks for the confirmation. Sadly, none of those attached to this bug report can help with the controller availability.
This has reappeared for me in 17379 (amd64 ubuntu 7.04) Deleting the contents of squeezecenter/Bin solves it. log:- 2008-02-10 18:56:38 squeezecenter_safe started.

Please can we re-open this bug - or would you like me to open a new one? There is still an issue with one of the /Bin files killing ubuntu/amd64 machines. If I get a change I will try and identify which file it is.
I meant 'chance' ... See this post for more evidence:- http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=269312&posted=1#post269312
It doesn't like the i386-linux subdirectory, presumably because these are build for 386 rather than amd and take precedence over the 'real' ones already on the system.

I run the RPM on x86_64 (Xeon not AMD) and I've not seen a similar problem.
The killer file appears to be:- Bin/i386-linux/mDNSResponderPosix
