Ubuntu 18.04 -> 'tsmuxer' (and others) is not available

UMS is meant to work with javs 7 but they recommend java 8.
I use java 8 and it wouldnt hurt to update your java version to 8.

What about your startup (init) script. Just a long shot but probably worth taking a look at.
I have my linux paths (inc /usr/bin) in my startup script for UMS.

I'm using the start-up script that comes with UMS 7.7.1 with no modifications.

Also, I updated to java 8 and it's still giving the same warning about permissions. (However, as I mentioned before, it appears to be working as intended.)

Code: Select all

apollo::root:~> java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_191"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-8u191-b12-0ubuntu0.18.04.1-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

I'm going to try compiling and running from source on this Linux box and see if I can track down what's causing the warning. Thanks.

[Amadeus]

OK, I dug around in the source and finally discovered the cause of the "permissions error" message. The reason is that custom paths set in the config file need to include the binary file name. So, for example:

Code: Select all

# Path to dcraw (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Default:
# Win: win32/dcrawMS.exe
# Mac: osx/dcraw
# Linux: dcraw + system PATH
dcraw_path = /usr/bin/dcraw

In other words, the setting for dcraw_path (and all of the other binary paths) must end with the actual binary file. "/usr/bin" won't work -- it has to be "/usr/bin/dcraw", etc.

I created a pull request to add Examples to the UMS.conf file so that this is more obvious: https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... /pull/1740

Stupid me. My error about giving you the paths without the file name. I had to do that as well in a previous version when I had that problem.

I don't think UMS comes with a startup script. The startup script I'm talking about is one which would go in /etc/init.d. I don't use Ubuntu but I think the startup scripts are in the same place. If you name the startup script ums then /etc/init.d/ums would start UMS.

Oh yea, that's a nice script ..I'll use that.

Honestly, I had just been using the shell script that comes with UMS:

Code: Select all

UMS.sh &

[boss]

Sorry, it shound have been:
/etc/init.d/ums start to start UMS
/etc/init.d/ums stop to stop UMS
/etc/init.d/ums restart to restart UMS

These are the commands which are available with the script:
echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|force-stop|restart|force-restart|reload|force-reload|status}"

[Patch]

Just a note to add.

I have noticed that during the installation of UMS depending on how you run it, either as a sudo user or as the root, it is looking for the .conf file in different places.
You can see this by running the script not as SUDO and it will give you an error about where it is looking for the .conf file.
When I would run it local user I would get differing configurations.

Indeed after inspection I found that there were seperate configuration files in 3 locations:
/usr/ums/UMS.conf
/usr/$user/.config/UMS/UMS.conf
/root/.config/UMS/UMS.conf

I ended up looking at the second two which only had the entries in them created by the wizard. I transferred those settings to the one in the install folder so that I only need to manage one .CONF and make a backup of it.
If you run this make sure you backup your files if you setup different configurations there.
If you use separate configurations when running locally than when you run as a service you will NOT want to do this.

Code: Select all

sudo rm /root/.config/UMS/UMS.conf
rm /home/$user/.config/UMS/UMS.conf
sudo ln -s /usr/ums/UMS.conf /root/.config/UMS/UMS.conf
sudo ln -s /usr/ums/UMS.conf /home/$user/.config/UMS/UMS.conf
