Some more ideas: - try booting a regular Linux distribution from USB to see if the issue is specific to Daphile Not only can I boot from other Linux distros via USB, I can also boot the installer Daphile from USB, as well as boot from the final install of Daphile on USB if I restart from the installer of Daphile from USB. The issue appears to be from the final installed version of Daphile on USB, and how it it set up to boot. I know I'm just missing something.

Roland0 wrote: - try running GRUB from the internal disk and using it to start Daphile from USB The Dell Mini 9 is actually a wonderful little machine. That said - it uses a weird PCI-Express IDE/PATA interface SM1 for its SSD. They are expensive to replace - a 64GB model goes for about $65. For that price, this machine is a throwaway. While the internal 16GB SSD functions, it is 12 years old and I'd rather keep it functional for a few more years, extending the life of the machine by running Daphile from a far more cost-effective external drive. Hence, even for testing I'm avoiding use of the internal drive as a workaround and attempting to do this all from external USB drives. I *could* install something like LXLE on an external drive and then install Logitech Media Server on top of that. However, running something like Daphile that's been purpose-built for the sole reason to run a custom version of LMS which suits my needs perfectly and thus uses a minimal OS install - and thus minimal resources - truly seems like the way to go. I thought about using Tiny Core OS and installing LMS on that, but after reading through various threads: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=19440.0 https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105171-LMS-on-TinyCore/page2 https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111171-I-need-a-very-small-linux-to-run-LMS-on-PC Daphile really seems the way to go, especially since there's a 32-bit distro of it (this netbook is 32-bit, otherwise I might have gone with VortexBox. While there is a 32-bit version of VirtexBox, it's really old - https://www.vortexbox.org/forum/support/217-vortexbox-will-there-ever-be-another-32-bit-version - the 32-bit version of Daphile is current). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Listen Closely's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70028 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112819 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
