So I know others have seen this but their solution does work for me. I have a new NUC (NUC10i5FNH1) with 16G RAM and 500G ssd. I was able to boot of the thumb drive and install ROCK just fine. But when I try to access ROCK from the Roon client it tells me that I need to configure the Roon device on my network. When I use the browser to access ROCK’s ip address I get a screen showing that the Roon OS and Database are up and running but the Roon Server Software is not running.
When I try to starting the software via the button I get a message saying it was unable to start. I have reinstalled and restarted multiple times but the Roon Server Software refuses to start.
Gosh I wish I could help. I ran into this once. I think I just started from scratch in a blind panic that I had spent all this money on a nuc for nothing… and it miraculously just worked even though I think I did nothing different, and it’s been running ever since. But that is awful advice. I hope someone wiser and more experienced than I can tell you something less hopeful and dramatic.
Greg,
Thank you. Unfortunately the Roon server isn’t getting far enough to create the RoonServer directory let alone a put any logs in it. There are many directories under Data but no RoonServer.
Michael, you are correct. Resetting the DB does not create the RoonServer directory. I am not sure how it could be a HD issue thought as there are many other directories created.
Patrick Roon creates multiple partitions on the drive and the database etc go on the second partition.
Maybe you can do a low level format or analysis on the drive using a usb boot disk
I would like to thank you all for your suggestions. This morning I reformatted the SSD and reinstalled ROCK. It all worked flawlessly! It’s a great start to 2022!
