Snakeoil Gear Isolation Beta Series

[Bromf]

rebooting does not solve it.

The initial 1.2.6 install gave this error but it was not present when I tried the install a second time after re-installing alsa-utils.

There is no need to install alsa-utils. As Snakeoil comes with it's own ALSA. Having said that, install alsa-utils in theory wouldn't do anything because the Snakeoil version of alsa-utils should always be picked up first.

Code:

+ Install Snakeoil RestAPI server... OK
  + Installing Snakeoil blob, please be patient... chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/bin/curl': No such file or directory

Ah ha!!! Have you mounted a network share on /media/music? And it does not have write permissions? I'm unsure why that didn't error out (it should). Let me know if you have a network share mounted.

If yes, can you temporarily unmount the network share manually, then run the installer and see if u have any problems afterwards?

No, no network share...so nothing to unmount... Just tried a complete new install of ubuntu and the latest beta and had exactly the same error .

and checking /media gives this..

Code:

blunder@snakeoilxover:/media$ ls
cdrom  music  playlists

and here is /usr/local/bin contents
 

Code:

blunder@snakeoilxover:/usr/local/bin$ ls

Can ignore that missing curl error. It will be fixed in beta 3.

Can I do a team viewer session on your setup to figure out what the problem is? PM to you on the way.
Also, can you modify this file (/etc/rc.local) and make it look like this. exit 0 should be at the end.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

sleep 5 && /usr/local/bin/new_issue &

/usr/local/bin/snakeoil-server.sh &

exit 0

To edit the file, run

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Save the file and reboot and the problem should go away.

Progress !!    boots and the Rest API web app is functional .    All good excepting that myMPD does not connect.

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.3:8080.

It is the permissions again...if I ssh into snakeoil and run 'sudo mympd' then mympd starts  and then I return to the webapp and select mympd as the 'remote control' and it opens ib Firefox .

That is strange. mympd works fine here.

Can you generate a diagnostic file and send it to me? Hopefully this will be captured in the diagnostics file.

I've sent 2 files..one from the stock instance where Firefox can't connect and the other from when I start myMPD from an ssh session then connect in the webapp.

This beta is still using the old myMPD that is broken for album art... when you release hopefully it will have the current myMPD version that fixes this ??

Will look at the diagnostics files soonish. And yes, will update with new myMPD in beta 3 for testing.

It worked!!!!  Web App is open and good to go!

Roon Bridge works just fine though I won't get a chance to hear it for a couple days  
Squeezelite seems to show up in Roon as well
Unfortunately, upmpdcli refuses to install and says:

Great to see it up and running though and I can't wait to test drive it with Roon when I get some time!!
Thanks again agent_kith for all of your hard work!!!

[agent_kith]

It worked!!!!  Web App is open and good to go!

Working on this as we speak. Will run out a new beta 3 closer to end of the week.

Unfortunately, upmpdcli refuses to install and says:

Don't have a lot of quota left for the month so I can only test this when I'm more confident on what's happening in WA next week. My internet quota is a bit suss, will have to investigate and see what the problem is. 250 GB per month is a lot for me and never had it run out before. So something is definitely fishy here. Esp now that it's two months in a row.

Once I have that bandwidth I can test this install and see what's wrong.

Unless things change, lock down ends tonight.

Unsure about day job, if no emails by tonight I'll just go tomorrow and see what happens.
