Snakeoil OS goes completely bonkers if you uninstall Logitech Media Server

[agent_kith]

Hi all,

Not exactly sure why yet, but if you uninstall Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a Snakeoil machine, the whole system goes completely bonkers. I'm surprised by this bug, and also it's something I have never done before as I have been using LMS for a long time.

But for folks who have this problem, here's a quick fix (without re-installing the OS). The quick fix is to re-install LMS!

You need to SSH (or direct console) to your computer, now run the following commands:

Code:

wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.3/logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_amd64.deb

Code:

sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_amd64.deb

Code:

sudo reboot

Now Snakeoil OS will be back alive again. I will try and identify this bug when I can. But until then, try the above and let me know how it goes.
