[SOLVED] [split] LMS Trouble in 18.04 Bionic and Blind Testing U7

[patricia1066]

Perhaps I can use this wiki to upload latest LMS to Snakeoil. Any changes required by Snakeoil?

You can update LMS manually, but remeber to run:

Code:

sudo service disable logitechmediaserver

This will disable LMS from auto starting. Deferring the start/stop role to Snakeoil instead. If you select LMS as the music server, Snakeoil will automatically start LMS.

This will conserve your system resources should you want to experiment with another player, e.g. MPD. In this instance, Snakeoil will shutdown LMS and start MPD.

PS: The reason why you can't start LMS in your earlier post is because you didn't use "sudo". Also starting (or restarting) the service manually is unnecessary as it's best to leave this to Snakeoil.

LMS is correctly installed, so I hope I can get it to start by tweaking it. It wont start through Snakeoil at the moment - see the screenshot. The LMS service starts without comment in putty, but fails to open either by producing a LMS link on the Music Player tab of Snakeoil, or by opening on the a browser when I type in the correct IP address. LMS is correctly installed.
