I'm trying to install squeezeboxserver via the method in the wiki and am not having any success.  I started with the commands at the beginning (I tried it two ways:

[root@localhost ~]# db yum_repositories set squeezecenter-release repository \
> BaseURL http://repos.slimdevices.com/yum/squeezecenter/release/
-bash: db: command not found
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# db yum_repositories set squeezecenter-release repository \
>
-bash: db: command not found


Does this method still work, is something broken or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Got 7.4.1. working now. I was quite used to it because I ran this version on my Windows workstation  :oops: before getting everything working on the SMEserver.

7.4.1 has some benefits over 7.3, for example adding tracks to the current playlist which I missed as soon as I switched  ;)

Excellent, I am glad the instructions still work fine  :-).
I had not noticed that 7.5 was out yet - so thats the next 30mins gone!

Tried this install this on 7.5.1, had an error saying invalid repository now when I try again I get this;

[root@****** ~]# yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release install squeezeboxserver
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "protect-packages" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "smeserver" plugin
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting.

Any ideas? Im sure its not a bug and that I'm missing something obvious!

Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting.

Can I stop yum manually?

maxdog, Stefano

I thought that it is safe enough to just delete /var/run/yum.pid under those circumstances

Mary

thanks for your swift reply

 /var/run/yum.pid doesn't appear to exist? :(

Cheers

No, that is not a good idea.

From a previous post I made.

> Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running.

Indicates another yum process started before the previous one had completed. Could be because you were impatient or maybe the network or Internet lost the connection during the yum process.

Please allow ample time for yum to finish, a large update could take 10 or 20 minutes and even longer on a slow connection.
Typically 5 minutes or so with a fast server & fast broadband connection.
