I found a forum post that showed me how to see what user owned any particular process, and for squeezeserver the user was identified as squeeze+. Documentation on LMS for Linux is scant and fragmented, but I think I saw somewhere that when it installs it creates a new user. I've used chown to change the drive's ownership to daniel, and I've used chmod to change the permissions to 777, in an attempt to get LMS to access my files, but no luck. On that drive are directories named Tracks and Playlists, so the two paths I'm giving LMS are: My music and playlist files are on a separate physical drive from the Linux sda, and its volume label is Music. I'm hoping there's a Squeezebox guru on this forum who can help me. But no error message! I'm guessing that LMS can't access my music &/or playlist files. But when I tell it (in Firefox) where my music tracks and playlists are, after entering the playlists path and clicking, the path entry field turns momentarily red, but the page doesn't progress to the next setup page. I run a number of Squeezebox 3s around the house, so have succeeded in installing a Linux version of Logitech Media Server (LMS), and started the service (with a little trouble). I think it's the permissions system that's killing me! Today I'm commissioning my just-built new PC, with a new first-time OS: Linux Mint! As a user for 32-years of CP/M, MS-DOS and Windows, I'm really struggling with Linux.
