Mr. Bill and bart,

Thanks for the edit and clarification. Yep, it's probably a case of being patient.

Cheers,

Steve

Just confirming, I tried today (2-22-2020) with a VB 2.4 machine. No update to LMS.

I just did the upgrade using the Vortexbox GUI, rebooted, and checked LMS>Settings>Information, which still showed LMS Version as 7.9.1 - 0.7.20180404git1522249619 @ Mon May 14 10:51:59 EDT 2018

So then I did the update using
dnf clean all
dnf update

I rebooted and checked LMS>Settings>Information, which still showed LMS Version as 7.9.1 - 0.7.20180404git1522249619 @ Mon May 14

Can anyone think of a reason why the update did not work for me?

Thanks,

Steve

I found dnf very slow. So I implemented the mods here and this made things 100 times faster !! https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu...app-installer/

I've run into a real oddity - can anyone help?
I've installed VB2.5 onto my old PC, which booted up as expected. Using my Windows 10 PC I made a couple of changes over the network from the GUI (inc. static IP; region time), loaded a few tracks into /storage/music/flac, and LMS built a library. So far so good, and easy.
Now I need to connect my Squeezebox Duet using the Android app "Squeezebox config", which has always worked fine alongside VB2.4. But as soon as I do that, the VB refuses all SSH and some other connections -

• VB GUI won't connect in Chrome ("The site [IP Address] refused to connect")
• LMS web interface doesn't work (same message as above)
• the config app can't contact the music server ("SqueezePlay Device; Please activate SSH; Status: Access denied")
• SSH connections don't happen (Android app on phone; PuTTY)
• Filezilla won't connect

But:

• Windows Explorer can still see, browse and transfer files between the SMB shares on VB2.5
• "systemctl status sshd.service" (through keyboard/monitor direct connected to VB) reports SSH is active (running) and listening on port 22

Can anyone suggest where I need to look or what I need to do to get all the components to join up again? I've still got a lot to learn about Linux!

We are only releasing new packages for 2.5. Anybody with lower versions should update to 2.5.

I upgraded to VB2.5 and have now got a non-working system, details in post #19.

Any help will be most welcome!.

And with much regret I now say goodbye to Vortexbox, which I have mostly enjoyed having. I've put Windows onto the old computer, installed LMS and once more can listen to my music.
