Thanks again Doug.
Everything will be off for a good few hours while I sleep, so I'll take a peek again after that extended downtime, if similar logs show up after that then I'll have to get all...
Many thanks Doug (for the solution and explanation) - that seems to have cured the logging of RST packets.
iptables -S now loooks like this:
crypto@ubuserver:~$ sudo iptables -S

Hmm, on tailing /var/log/syslog on the server I notice that it's also logging RST packets from LAN clients on the FORWARD chain too, in this example a few seconds before coming to the end of viewing...
I have an Ubuntu 12.04 server that I'm currently using as a gateway / router for a few LAN devices (WAN is a mobile BB dongle that presents itself as an ethernet adapter - eth1 in the below).

OK - I finally sorted it out by replicating a repository install type setup.
Created user "mpd" with primary group "audio", set the mpd user's home dir to /var/lib/mpd and moved all the mpd files...
UGH!! I spoke too soon! MPD is starting fine but as soon as I connect a client and try to play anything I get this in the logs:
Dec 09 05:03 : decoder: audio_format=44100:24:2, seekable=true

OK - fixed up the ALSA section of my /etc/mpd.conf file so it reads thus:
# An example of an ALSA output:

Eek - my alsa config is broken? Or did you mean fix the alsa section of the /etc/mpd.conf file?
As an experiment I removed myself from the audio group and tried to start mpd from the command line...

All my upstart job seems to require is filesystem and static network up....

Looking in /etc/init I can only see alsa-restore.conf...
I can try setting the audio output device. But this is not just during boot it is also when calling sudo service mpd start long after boot, the same log messages appear.
I'm only using ALSA on...
OK - so I have changed it back to an upstart configuration and now have some logging that highlights the problem

Yep the groups look to be fine:

This is still being an absolute pig!
On a test install of server 12.04 in VirtualBox I installed the standard repository version of mpd just to see what it setup. As it goes that uses a...

Bear in mind that some audio players can get really confused with VBR mp3 files showing very odd track durations and making tracks un-seekable. I have this problem with Rhythmbox for one.
As...
Have you been playing or accessing these files on a Windows machine? WMA is a Windows Media format and if you are getting "encrypted" messages then the files are protected by DRM (digital rights...
Hi,
I'm trying to get MPD set up on a headless 12.04 server. As the universe repo version is way out of date I installed it from source.
It works fine if I ssh in and start it with my usual...
Thanks for googling for me, unsurprisingly I had already done that and read a great deal including the link you posted. Oddly the bug report link within the page you linked gives me this:

Thanks for the reply.
That statistics setting in update manager is unchecked and rhythmbox (or any other media app) isn't running.
Quite weird.

As per title really: what is gvfsd-http and what does it do?
I noticed it recently in my process list as:

As well as the DNS suggestion above, the "Temporary lookup failure" message can be caused by Postfix not being able to determine whether a particular email address is a valid local address.

Still not responding on port 25 :/
Telnet to port 25 is still timing out. Unless you have changed something with your network configuration or iptables setup or port forwarding etc. - then it seems your ISP is blocking it again.
