Hi all
Ive updated twonky to the latest version (5) on ubuntu ibex
I havnt installed the program but am running it from an unzipped folder if that makes sense
Everything is working OK however I am unable to run at startup
I have an init script in ini.d with /home/griffithsl/Twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D contained within it
The program does start however I get this in running processes
1000 6050 1 0 09:49 ? 00:00:00 /home/griffithsl/Twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D
1000 6051 6050 0 09:49 ? 00:00:00 [twonkymediaserv] <defunct> <<<<<looks odd
and the web browser doesnt work
when I then sudo /home/griffithsl/Twonkymedia/twonkymedia -D the server starts and all is well
Any ideas
Thanks for any advise guys

Re: Twonky Server Not Running on Startup
Unfortunately I don't run Ubuntu/Debian, so I can't help too much, but others HAVE got it working in the past. Try this post, see if it helps:

Re: Twonky Server Not Running on Startup
Hi tododo,
there must be a startscript in /etc/init.d/ called twonkyserver
If u can't find it so create it
sudo vim /etc/init.d/twonkyserver
Paste the stuff below
--------------------------------
# Dirs
Change WORKDIR1 for ur needs
# mark the file as executeable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/twonkyserver
# Mark it as start with the system
cd /etc/rc2.d
sudo ln -s ../init.d/twonkyserver S99twonkyserver
It should work now

Re: Twonky Server Not Running on Startup
Hi
The following confirmations.
tail /tmp/TwonkyMediaServer-log.txt
---
06:37:18:568 createTable(itemTable,"Item") failed
File: ../../../server/sqlite/item.c
Function: dbx_item_init

Is not such an error output?
next...
When the following are executed, it is repaired.
cd /var
rm -rf twonkymedia
or
mv twonkymedia twonkymedia_back
## It is in a word because you had them dead lock sqlite DB.
let's restart twonkymedia!!
