Hi guys,

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10, and try now to configure Logitech Media Server. I have downloaded the deb file form mysqueezebox.com version 7.7.1 run it and installed it successfully since i am able to access the Squeezebox panel : http://localhost:900.

I am facing two problems :

1. I have 2 internal hard drives installed, both formatted with ext4. One is primary and one is secondary. On the web interface of squeezebox, when trying to add music to the library, i cannot see the second disk. When browsing to /media/ folder it is empty. If i am browsing from ubuntu, i can see inside /media/disk2/Music.

This probably relates to a note from Logitech's site for installation :
NOTE: You must give the Squeezebox Server account proper permissions to access your music library and playlists.

How can i do that ? I cannot see the Squeezebox server account. I can only see my account.

2. If i add music in the /home/mediaserver/Music folder, i can see it in the application, but the Squeezebox fails to add the music in the library.

Here is a snippet from the server log file :
