Snakeoil Gear Isolation Beta Series

[Bromf]

Have to say that 18.04 is vastly superior to another well respected MPD distro I am currently listening to.
Should 20.04 prove insoluble then, despite its MPD library faults, I would happily live with 18.04. :-)

Is MPD crashing, or something else on 20.04? Can you guys briefly describe some steps to re-produce that?

Also, if mympd isn't working, can you guys SSH to the machine, and C&P the output of this command?

Code:

ldd /usr/local/bin/mympd

from the currently running 16.04 that 404's
 

Code:

ldd: /usr/local/bin/mympd: No such file or directory

as perhaps expected...
I will reload 20.04 and report, perhaps tomorrow morning. reloading now !!

Blast and bother...the 16.04 install dealt to the uefi  settings and it has taken some time to finally reload and have the drive recognised.

So, for Alph3 on Ubuntu server 20.04 (where myMPD will not start) we get...
 

Code:

ldd /usr/local/bin/mympd
    not a dynamic executable

Looks like a big hint there    ....need more dynamite !...

Steps to repro... select any mpd version and save then click on myMPD as player and you are taken to a new tab that says..

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at (snakeoil ip here):8080.

From terminal..
 

Code:

Ha... If I start myMPD from the terminal then go back to the Snakeoil webpage and try to start myMPD there it works :-)
