Snakeoil OS goes completely bonkers if you uninstall Logitech Media Server

[hkphantomgtr]

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 sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_amd64.deb 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.

Thanks a lot, Agent Kith!

1st)  these codes doesn't work in a single line.  I have to split into 3 lines, i.e.

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

2nd) and then the last one "reboot" doesn't work.  Because at such stage OS can't be turned off by command.  So the machine just keeps running but no response, and doesn't reboot.  We need to keep pressing the power button 6 sec to force it to shut down.   Then after power it, my SO is back to normal.

Anyway, I really appreciate your passion, enthusiasm, and kind heart.
