Dear all,
Once again I humbly turn to you for guidance and assistence.
As of yesterday I've lost access to my Debian Squeeze installation. Somewhere during booting the system hangs and all I get is a black screen. The same happens wether I try a normal boot or a recovery boot and then continue from there. What I can do is login as root in a command line environment. My guess is that something went wrong with one of the updates that I allowed to install two days ago. (Don't remember which ones. Sorry.)
The last lines in /var/log/syslog refer to something called mt-daapd. Among those ten or so lines I get the following error messages:
1. mt-daapd: Error loading plugin /usr/lib/mt-daapd/plugins/scc-script.so: plugin declined to load
2. mt-daapd: Error scanning MP3 files: No such file or directory
3. mt-daapd: Error starting web server
I've created /home/media/music which took care of error no.2.
Error no.1 may not be fatal as the system continues to do stuff after that.
Apparently the problem always arrises after error no.3.
Any suggestions are welcome. E.g. can I safely remove this mt-daapd business? It was installed, it seems, three years ago and never caused problems but as it has to do with iTunes I don't think I ever consciously used it. (Unless of course Rhythmbox depends on it somehow.)
Anyway, thanks in advance (as usual),
