wa4chq Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Greeetings all. I'm using a Rasberry Pi as a music server. Originally I had CMUS, a terminal based music player installed and working fine. I don't remember exactly when it quit working but it's been several months. I ended up installing MP3BLASTER and all has been good. But I'm curious why there are problems. Just a few minutes ago, I tried installing CMUS again. I don't want to install without finding out what this output means. UPDATE: I am really OK with the way it is. I don't need to fix it. I was just curious.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 That all looks Ελληνικά για μένα. I will say this, though... looks like Permissions issues for most of those fails above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine using what's working. I just thought if I knew why it's doing it, I could finally sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Install as root and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I do it.....well, here's what I do. sudo apt-get install cmus I just noticed something else. [Sun 16] music-pi --> mc Cannot create temporary directory /tmp/mc-pi: Read-only file system (30) Temporary files will not be created Press any key to continue... MC opens after I press the "any" key. But this is what I get if I try [Sun 16] music-pi --> sudo mc Failed to run: Cannot create /root/.config/mc directory As an experiment, I tried to install something that I haven't tried before. I tried installing links. I get the same garbled mess like I did with cmus. I'm really OK with the way it is....all I use if for is to play music. As you pointed out, there's an issue with Permissions. What ever happened happened after I got the server going. I feel confident that it's pilot error...seriously. I have a bad habit of adding stuff I'm really not gonna be using just because that's what I do. When was the last time I used twin?

securitybreach Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I would run a filesystem check as Read-Only (I/O) errors could indicate a failing drive. Since this is your / partition/disk, you need to run fsck while booting a live environment. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, abarbarian. One of the fellows responding to DougieFresh4U's problem (which sounds just like mine) says that it's possible it's a failing hard drive. That makes sense in my situation becuz the hard drive is a micro SD card. I think knowing my track record for toasting my Linux setups, I'm just gonna live with it. Probably the simplest (and the most safe) solution for me is to get another micro SD card and do a fresh Raspi install. After that, I promise I will only install two extra things on the fresh install and that will be 'cmus' and 'alsamixer'. Wait, I gotta add 'ranger' to the mix and if all still works, I better add 'mp3blaster' as a back up. Just in case I wanna surf the net from the cli, I better add 'lynx' too. tnx ab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my last post, sent at the same time as yours..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crp Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 i wonder if /tmp exists and what it thinks its permissions is if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 /tmp should ONLY be Read, Write, Execute (777) for Root. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
