Logitech Media Server and Bullseye

[notoneofmyseeds]

Hello,

Has anyone successfully installed Logitech Media Server
(https://www.mysqueezebox.com/download) on Bullseye and would please
care to say how they went about doing so?

It's also here: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver

Thanks a lot, indeed.

They have a Debian pkg, (1, pick the LMS release and architecture that
you want/need).
In my case I downloaded (2, updated to latest 7.9 release) as I did not
want to patch LMS for the 'Squeezebox Radio' to work.

I used the below commands to install LMS:
wget
http://downloads-origin.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.2/logitechmediaserver_7.9.2_all.deb
$ apt-get update && apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl
$ dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.2_all.deb

For the sake of simplicity, I used the architecture 'all' instead of the
one I downloaded.


Please note that this e-mail is folded by my mailer.

HTH.

2)

P.S.

I can not recall if I was able to verify or checksum the *.deb.

Thanks a lot for your very helpful response.

Can ask whether you have updated to the latest 8.2 version, following
from you 7.9.2 install?

Best wishes.

While I did it on Buster, the same still works on Bullseye:
$ apt-get --autoremove purge logitechmediaserver
$ apt-get --autoremove purge libio-socket-ssl-perl

$ apt-get update && apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl

$ rm -f logitechmediaserver_8.2.0_all.deb
$ wget
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v8.2.0/logitechmediaserver_8.2.0_all.deb
$ dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_8.2.0_all.deb


I'm not using wildcard and you can not downgrade from anew release of LMS.

Note that I'm only helping through the list.

I did exactly what you have asked here as 'root' And then to install
logged in as regular user with root privileges. Here is the result:

(Reading database ... 279424 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack logitechmediaserver_8.2.0_all.deb ...
Unpacking logitechmediaserver (8.2.0) ...
Setting up logitechmediaserver (8.2.0) ...
invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start.

This last line remains the problem. However, earlier errors are gone.

Sorry, I should remember to hit 'reply list' next time. Sorry.

Why, what error do you get from 'dpkg'?

This line below from the output also above. Is it not an error?

"invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start."

Thanks a lot.

To me this message is not a show stopper, what let you to say that it is
not working?

Thanks a lot. I put the IP and port number and bang! we were sailing. Wonder about that 'error' however.

Thanks a lot. You saved another 2 days, or more, of trying and failing.
