Is it possible your nano didn’t come from the nslu2 repo? Maybe it came from somewhere else?

Try doing a ipkg remove nano, then ipkg install nano. My lib requirements for nano look like this:

# LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /opt/bin/nano

libncurses.so.5 => /opt/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x2aac0000)

libc.so.6 => /opt/lib/libc.so.6 (0x2ab80000)

/lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x00020000)

#

so I don’t think we have the same nano package.

Hi Ron,

Unfortunately it doesn’t work yet.

You asked:

I don’t know what you mean with nslu2 repo. Only things I did with my MSS is installing OpenMSS262. Before that the previous OpenMSS version was installed. After that I did follow the steps in the Wiki.

I’ve removed Nano and did a new install but I got the same errors.
Here’s my output (as you can see I tried also to remove Ncurses but that wasn’t accepted):

BusyBox v1.00-pre2 (2006.02.01-23:21+0000) Built-in shell (msh)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

These might cease to work if package ncurses is removed.



You can force removal of this package with -force-depends.

You can force removal of this package and its dependents

with -force-removal-of-dependent-packages or -recursive

or by setting option force_removal_of_dependent_packages

in ipkg.conf.

Okay… got it. I had 1.2.5 of nano, apparently someone just committed 2.0.1. They forgot to mark it as requiring ncursesw, though so:

# ipkg install ncursesw

should fix it.

Hi Ron,

This did the job, nano is now starting.
But when I use the cursor-keys (arrow-up/down/left/right) some strange codes are appearing. Looks like its not the right keyboard-language. First my keyboard (in windows) was in Dutch, then I changed it to English but it is still not working.

When I issueing the following command:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/nano /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd 

The following is shown in the telnet-session:

  GNU nano 2.0.1        File: /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd



can be removed/ld.so.conf working, this export.















f [ killall mt-daapd 2>/dev/nullenPATH:/opt/lib

When I use the arrow keys some new “[” codes are shown, like:

Hopefully you can clearify this also.
Thankx

Someone mentioned this was a problem with the built-in windows telnet program. They also recommended that Putty takes care of the problem. Try that rather than the built-in windows telnet. I’ll update the wiki to reflect that.

[RickV]

Hi Ron,

With Putty I could use Nano and edit the file.
I could do the rest of the installation without problems.

After a full scan a total number of 23250 songs is reported.

However I can’t access the songs via my Roku M1001.

I did the following steps:
1. Restart the Roku
2. Connect to firefly => The following message is shown:
“Connecting to Firefly svn-1433 on (none)”
3. Browse/Browse artists => with the other “mediaservers” at that moment the number of artists found is displayed, counting up till the total number of artists. Now only the message “Loading browse data” is displayed and after a while the error-message “failed to load browse data”.

Hopefully you know a solution again.

Can you browse by anything else? Also, you can try going into the configuration editor and setting a log file. Maybe put it in the same directory as your mp3 files. Then stop and start hte server.

When you have that problem, does the server crash? Or is it still running?

[RickV]

Hi Ron,

Can you browse by anything else?

No, all of the browse-functionality is failing. Also via search nothing is found.

When you have that problem, does the server crash? Or is it still running?

The server doesn’t crash. It was running now for about 1 day and 10 hours.

Also, you can try going into the configuration editor and setting a log file. Maybe put it in the same directory as your mp3 files. Then stop and start hte server.

I did what you asked, although I am not sure on how to start it again.
First I ran another IE-session and the web interface showed up. But nothing happened. When I closed the session and tried to go to the web interface again I got a not found.
Then I started the server again via a telnet session and the “/opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd” command as told in the Wiki. After some time I could enter the web-interface again which was telling that the server was running.

Below you find the information in the log-file, I just inserted some carriage
returns to make it more readable:

So it’s a authorisation issue, hopefully you know how to solve this.
All the browsing via the Roku is still not working.

the authorization thing is probably from hitting the web interface.

Lets go into the config page, crank the log up to 9, and make it fail by trying to browse. Hopefully the logfile will tell us what happened then.

Oh.. does iTunes work as a client?

Hi Ron,

What do you mean with crank the log up to 9?

Without doing something else I connected via the Roku to Firefly. First I got a connection failure. When I tried again the Roku says that he is connected. Then browse by artist. Unfortunately there is nothin written to the logfile.

I did a backup on the logfile on forehand and by now it contains the following logging:

Up till now I didn’t use iTunes. Before I used WMC 1.0 and WMC 2.0 on my windows-XP-PC and that was working. Is that enough information or should I really try to install iTunes on my PC?
