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

[patricia1066]

I reinstalled LMS from the nightlies wget and dpkg -i. Its working now, I haven't yet disabled service as the webGUI is working fine. Listening to the Bossa Nova now 

I read elsewhere that others have had problems getting LMS to work when upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. There was straightforward advice to check systemctl and reinstall when it failed to start, despite startup script appearing to execute.
 

Code:

 
patricia@t520:~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
patricia@t520:~$ sudo systemctl enable logitechmediaserver.service
logitechmediaserver.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv                                                                                                                -install.

I spoke too soon. I restarted and now LMS wont run either as a Snakeoil service or when I manually put IP:9000 into a browser window. 
Back to where I started yesterday I'm afraid. 
I would like to have LMS, and I will remove MPD via the webGUI. Is there a better version to
