Mocp: FATAL_ERROR: Can't send() string to the server

[cheatos]

Hi all,

I have somehow screwed up my mocp...
The only thing I did was editing /etc/rc0.d/S51delmocpid but after it did not work any longer I also reedited it to its initial state.
Somehow now I alsways receive an error like

FATAL_ERROR: Can't send() string to the server!

Is there some way you can fix that?

Thanks for your help!

btw. I have a lubuntu 12.10 running

Hi

For the simple solution, did you try purgng and reinstalling moc ?

Also why did you edit that file ?

I also use moc (xubuntu 13.04), however i do that have that file you edited...

matthew-S206:/home/matthew % dpkg -l moc
zsh: correct 'moc' to '.moc' [nyae]? n

matthew-S206:/home/matthew % ls /etc/rc?.d/*moc*
zsh: no matches found: /etc/rc?.d/*moc*
matthew-S206:/home/matthew %

How did you install it ? Where did you get it from ? Did you follow a guide ? If so, then please post it here.

Kind regards

ok, so this is what dpkg says about my moc:

michael@Michael-2013:~$ dpkg -l moc
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

I already have purged the moc package with apt-get but maybe I can try rremoving it with dpkg, dont know where the difference is

Thank you for your help!

ok, so removing the .moc directory in my home directory made it work again.
However purging with apt-get or dpkg didn't do anything.

Thank you for your help to matt_symes
