LMS suddenly stopped working

[drp101]

To be clear, I mean I would put the disk image on a new HD using an external docking station connected to another computer, and then take the drive with the image on it and install it in the VB. Would that make it pretty much plug-and-play?

Unfortunately I don't have a monitor and keyboard to use. Can I put the image of 2.4 on the new drive external to the VB and then just install it? If I do it that way, can I avoid needing a keyboard and monitor connected to the VB?

Which VortexBox level are you currently at?

[drp101]

I will look into upgrading to VB 2.4.

System Info

Maybe it is not memory. I just restarted the VB and this is the System Info screen:

I see your point about the physical memory usage. In my case the machine was working perfectly (for years) and one morning the Squeezeboxes couldn't connect to it. In that way it seems like something physical might have failed rather than software. Have you seen RAM fail on these machines? Does it make sense to try replacing RAM before upgrading the VB software? If so, what replacement RAM should I use?

Install VB 2.4 using a CDR as per the procedure, backup your library first!

Which VB version level are both of you at?
I recommend you upgrade your Vortexbox see below link:

Thanks.

I tried to upgrade mine through the Vortexbox home page.....but I don;t think it worked.

In any case it is bit hard for a technically challenged person like me to make a bootable USB for Linux based server and install the new software...

Your physical memory usage seems extremely high for a rebooted machine ... could both of you have bad memory?

yes, I observed it too.....not sure what it means though (sorry I am technically challenged...haha)

Yes, I have rebooted the VortexBox. I get the same result. LMS appears to be running. I can start it and stop it from the System Configuration Page. But if I try to open LMS it endlessly shows Loading Logitech Media Server with the spinning wheel.

Same here...did reboot several times....the 'green screen' has been running for almost 12 hours now.....still apparently loading....

Did you try rebooting your VortexBox?
