Hi Markus,
you are correct, it's not a module, it's one out of over 15 scripts that make META. No reason to worry though. Just install the META module and enable slimserver.sh on the options page. Wait 45 min for the installation to complete then reboot your N2100. Click on the script name to get basic instructions.
cheers

I removed my installation and tested - I too cannot reinstall slimserver. Giving it another go now but not looking good. BTW - I am trying to install SQ7. 2nd attempt: no luck. getmythe - please take a look at the following (taken from the log file): --22:13:06-- debian.slimdevices.com/pool/main/s/squeezecenter/squeezecenter_7.0-17630_all.deb%0Asqueezecenter_7.0.1-17630_all.deb

There are so many changes @slimdevices that my scripts break down every other week. It's no fun at all. I decided to abandon the script based approach and distribute static installs instead. The archives are between 80 and 90 Mbytes. As long as there are not to many downloads my server should be ok. Update is available with META 2.5.00 right now  The default setup is to download and install SlimServer 6.5.5. The downloaded archive is stored in the iTunes share. The installer will always check the iTunes share first and only download in case there is nothing in there. E.g. if your box is offline grab a copy from my servers installer directory and place it in the iTunes share. In case you prefer SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 you need to mess with the script (look for word slim-installer). Be aware though that SqueezeCenter is sloooowwwww as it uses tons of Ajax. |

Thanks getmythe - will install this evening.
Sorry to hear that the changes at the slimdevices end are breaking the script - I tried editing the squeeze.mh script last night and repacking into the slimserver.tgz package without luck - my understanding of Linux is not yet up to speed. I will give it another go tonight but am likely to fall back to installing from your server.

Hi Sharmy
the old style installer scripts have been updated and they are still included within META, but the are now hidden from view. Have a look for something called slimserver-dynamic.sh. I used this to generate the new style installers.

Thanks getmythe - I saw these scripts yesterday but did not play with them.
Downloaded both packages off your server yesterday and placed into itunes share.
Tried modifying the static script to force a SQ7 install but the install fails. Have not had a chance to debug yet.

try this
rm /raid/module/META/startup/.slim-installer
sed -i 's/touch/#touch/' /raid/module/META/startup/slimserver-static.sh.off

getmythe - this is the problem I keep running into:
/raid/module/META/startup/slimserver-static.sh.off
cat: /raid/slimserver/installer-success: No such file or directory
gzip: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
chroot: cannot execute /root/extractslashdev.sh: No such file or directoryJust checked the meta-squeezecenter.tgz file in the raid/iTunes directory - it was only 30MB in size. Deleted it and am trying again - sorry about the traffic to your server.  Thanks getmythe - all working perfectly. Not sure what happened with the package the first time round... |

Hi,
Yesterday I bought a Thecus N2100 with the intent to use it as dedicated Squeezecenter server. Installed latest FW, SSH and META.
I fail to understand how to install Squeezecenter. I tried to run the META script, but it seems not to work:
N2100:/raid/home# /raid/module/META/startup/slimserver-static.sh.off
cat: /raid/slimserver/installer-success: No such file or directory
wget: www.freeside.ch: Host name lookup failure
gzip: Short read
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
chroot: cannot change root directory to /raid/slimserver: No such file or directory
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Valdemar

That's an obvious onewget: [url]www.freeside.ch[/url]: Host name lookup failure
You need to fix the network settings of your n2100. Your network setup is missing a DNS to do naming resolution. Are you using DHCP or do you set the network address by hand?

That's a known problem; the script does not know that the download failed but thinks the archive is complete and ready for installation. Fixed it a while ago, ... will be released eventually.
Just delete the (empty/incomplete) slimserver archive found in the iTunes share.

Thanks, getmythe!
Installing Squeezecenter from scratch on an Arm Debian system was a pain for me. Your package just works out of the box, I am really impressed. Good job!!
