Pi Desktop Build - Odd Issues

[tdiaz]

Following the Build Recipe for 4.3, I can get it to build on Pi Desktop (Raspbian for x86) with the following issues:

udisks-glue apparently does not exist for Debian Stretch. I'm not interested in mounting USB disks anyway, so ..

MPD does not auto start. Requires systemctl start mpd

Skipping Bluetooth and the Pi/ARM/SDCard stuff, largely starting at wget r43.zip after doing the equivalent  configurations as setting up the SD Card, except for Desktop Debian or Raspberry Pi Desktop.

But it's not acting quite right.

You can get to the config/sources page once. Add a NAS source, Firefox will prompt that the page needs to be re-submitted a little while after SAVE is selected.

...and then again. Again, again. Never wants to actually finish on it's own.

So you  start over at http://moode again - you'll see the message that the database update has been initiated, but there is (pretty much to be expected) no configured sources.

After that, you can't re-access any of the config menu pages with reliability, the browser will just keep on "Waiting for ... "

I'd really like to use MoOde over Volumio. They offer a desktop build option that works, but that's where the fun stops. The browser interface they've got just blows.

I want to use desktop hardware as I want to use the server for other things too.

Sounds like the server is getting hung up, what do the logs say?

The nginx error log has about 30 lines of file not found for a particular image. Nothing else. 

2018/12/01 22:36:28 [error] 574#574: *246027 open() "/var/local/www/imagesw/bgimage.jpg" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.88.117, server: , request: "GET /imagesw/bgimage.jpg HTTP/1.1", host: "kmet.a2", referrer: "http://kmet.a2/cssw/panels.css"

That’s meaningless.

Look in the system and moode logs to see if they’re complaining, based on how you built moode and how it works I’m wondering if it’s something related to the lack of sdcard as that’s the default area to store things on the Pi.

I started a new drive with just this on it and have the same outcome.

On first boot I start mpd and then access via http:, music tab, browse, pick something, add it to the default playlist.

Configure ... get the small menu with four icons, pick Sources and it just sits.

Looking at moode log, it's empty.
syslog doesn't contain anything that jumps out at me.
