No Autostart, no device found, mac address request problems

Hi

I just install on a fresh new linux i(ubuntu hardy 64 bit) installation the latest version of the twonkymedia server I two problem

1- I'm not able to run automatically the server at the start up .
I have done these command

sudo cp /usr/local/twonkymedia/twonkymedia.sh /etc/init.d/
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/twonkymedia.sh /etc/rc3.d/S99twonkyserver
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/twonkymedia.sh /etc/rc5.d/K99twonkyserver

and rebooted. I can see the script in init.d but init.d can run automatically. I tried with webmin to configure to run at start uo with no luck

2- twonky is not able to check automatically the ip address of the computer of the lan (the 4..4.9 did it)

3- if I try to put manually the ip of computers of the lan (no DCHP) I recieve an error from twonkyserver telling me: required mac format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Regards

Ugo

A bit late but you may find that your default runlevel is 2, not 3, so placing a script to load twonky in runlevel 3 never gets loaded.

An easy way to find out which runlevel you are using is to open up the terminal and type "runlevel" (minus the quotes).

On my Ubuntu Jaunty installation, it returns the value "N 2". Which is runlevel 2.
