I'm a newbie to jriver. I recently did a desktop install of the latest jriver 28 onto a fresh debian 11.2 machine, standard desktop debian install. I used the script "install MC" kindly provided by BrianC. The machine is an intel NUC10i7FNH, 32 GB with 1 TB SSD. I nfs mounted my music repository to the new install, and successfully built the library, even did some editing. The debian machine has no other 3rd party applications except whats in the standard desktop distribution. Ran it for a couple of days to learn the JRiver interface and check stability, no issues. Shut the machine down, brought it up headless, ssh'd in and things looked fine. was just trying to figure out how to start jriver from the command line in linux, when it crashed. It has since crashed pretty predictably after running for about 10 minutes, then starts fine. This may be a debian problem, but thought I would start here. looking at /var/log/messages, lots of errors and complaints from org.freedesktop.
I'm an old guy, started on unix before graphics. I've done lots of *nix installs with a desktop environment, then run them headless.
suggestions/solutions?
Also, is there a pointer to a linux-specific discussion of starting and running mediacenter headless using ssh/command line? Must be there, but my first search only turned up windows information (this would be a great HOW-TO). (but gotta fix the stability/crash problem first). Thanks.
