Hi,
I’m trying to install Roon Server software (100300242 1.3 (build 242) stable) on Linux (x86_64) machine. Unfortunately receive an error:

./start.sh: line 52: 1926 Segmentation fault “$P” “$@”
./start.sh: line 34: kill: (1926) - No such process
What could I do to install your software successfully?

code root:/opt/RoonServer$ ./check.sh

Checking to see if RoonServer can run on this machine

Hey Bernard,

I’ve moved your topic to Support – and let’s flag Roon’s @support team here so it gets proper attention.

Moving forward: can you share a bit more information about your setup (hardware specs of the intended Linux server, distribution/version/kernel version in use, etc.)?

The avconv alert is a bit unusual, but may be a red herring. Do you have avconv of ffmpeg installed?

Hello,

can you share a bit more information about your setup (hardware specs of the intended Linux server, distribution/version/kernel version in use, etc.)?

I try to instal RoonServer on two core Apollo Lake Intel Processor (N3350 @ 1.10GHz x2); 4GB RAM machine.
I use home server Linux software based on LFS (linux from scratch) with Kernel 3.14.79

Do you have avconv of ffmpeg installed?

I have new ffmpeg-3.2.4 installed

Regards,
B

You also need cifs-utils which is not a default part of some flavors of Linux.

Ofcourse I have ‘cifs-utils’ installed.
Please see ‘./check.sh’ result in the first post

Good. :slight_smile:

Segmentation fault suggests issues with invalid memory access.
See wikipedia: Segmentation fault
Can I change something on my current system or wait for a newer version of RoonServer?

Since you can clealy build an operating system from scratch, the next step is to find what is crashing and where… strace/ltrace/gdb!

Clearly the LinuxFromScratch is missing something or has something incompatible

Thanks, I expected the installation to be easy. Maybe I will investigate when I have more free time.
Yesterday I installed on my 86_x64 machine the latest LMS (Logitech Media Server) software and squeezelite player software (on ARM/Debian mini computer) and I am satisfied.
