Snakeoil Forums - [split] MPD v23 crashes after updating to Gear Isolation U10

Hi Agent Kith, just updated to U10, myMDP not working, the status change to "X" after refresh, could you please help?

By the way, also like to know how to stream Spotify after enabled/installed the Spotify Connect in myMDP ? Many thanks !

Hi Sammy,

So MPD was working in U9, but will not work after update to U10?

Do you remember any other changes you have made? MyMPD is the remote control, and MPD is the music player. From your pictures it looks like the problem is with MPD (the player). But that player hasn't changed since July. Can you generate a diagnostics file and send it to the email address?

LOL.. I think they just removed 18.04 LTS .. Looks like they only support > 20.04 now. Will make adjustments in the next release.

In the meantime, can SSH to your Snakeoil computer, run this:

Code:
sudo 755 /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd

Restart the computer. Do you get a green check on the MPD status now? You will not have the built in remote control I think, but if you have Android, just install an app like MPDroid and you can still get to remote control MPD. First thing is to make sure MPD isn't broken (which it shouldn't because this player hasn't changed).

Edit: Can you also run the following and send me it's output?

Code:
sudo cat /etc/os-release

Thanks Agent Kith,

Code:
I did the "sudo 755 /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd" and got "

sudo: 755: command not found" unfortunately!

My bad!!!

Code:
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/players/mpd-v23/mpd

Also, please show me the contents in /etc/os-release

Dear Agent_kith,

I think I have to give up, for long term use, the latest Ubuntu version is a must, so I'm going to reinstall the Snakeoil OS, however I'm not familiar to Linux, may I ask the newer 1.2.6 (Gear Isolation U6) installer will take me to install the latest Ubuntu ?
Also, I only remember the procedure with the oldest installer 1.1.0 (Blind Testing), will U6 has the same or great different procedure like 1.1.0 ? If not, is there any advise in the installation ?

Thanks again and Happy New Year 2023 !

Please read the Wikihttps://www.snakeoil-os.net/wiki/Installation/installer-shell#Supported_Distributions

You have to install Ubuntu first before running installer script. All Linux instructions are in the Wiki.

You might be able to get away without a re-install if you run this:

Code:
sudo do-release-upgrade

Might because I am not sure if 18.04 can still be upgraded via the above. Although this OS sounds good, it's no longer supported by the guys behind Ubuntu (Canonical).
