Issue with SDDM

So the command is:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/lib/private/emby

That will substitute your user name in.

Edit - you may have to go through the directory and compare with my listing and @ricklinux and correct any wrong user:groups.

edit 2: There is an Arch wiki page, have you seen it?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Emby

42

it’s

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/lib/private/

That dis the trick instantly where with emby added to the end didn’t.

43

Don’t have emby installed I use Serviio my Samsung TV picks it up as a DNLA server, it is simple compared to Plex.

44

yea I’ve seen that page. It’s nice but they forgot to include the command to have emby start at system startup.

45

Does it have a systemd unit file?

46

Yes and I have the commands for starting and starting at startup already saved to file, so no biggy here. Just it’s a true pain finding the one.

47 
#Enable and run at boot/reboot:
sudo systemctl enable emby-server
sudo systemctl start emby-server
# To stop:
sudo systemctl stop emby-server
48

Yea. Pretty simple, but trying to get that information out of the devs on their forums OMFG easier to pull teeth.

49

:rofl:

might check out Serviio. Is there anything special you think I should know? And before I forget that you and @ricklinux for all the help with this.

What I did:

  • Create a media directory (/home/media). Move media into it.
  • sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/media
  • Install Serviio, start the service and enable.
  • Open your browser, navigate to
http://localhost:23423/console/#/app/library/local

Then add your folders.

Thanks for helping @anon83136962. I don’t know much about file permissions and chown. Someday I might have those issues too. :speak_no_evil:

@xircon , @ricklinux I created a feature request on Timeshift’s github if you feel like weighing in.

https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/issues/651

56

Do you mean this?

1 community/grub-btrfs 4.6-1 (20.6 KiB 57.2 KiB)
    Include btrfs snapshots in GRUB boot options
57

I have that installed on mine because i used the wiki tutorial by @2000

58

Yee I said as much, and we established that manual snapshots are not automatically added.

Actually it’s 4.6-1 from the official repositories not community. Community doesn’t even come up for it.

59

I am unable to help with this, I installed on ext4, had some bad experiences in the past with btrfs. But from memory I thought that did it, am sure I created manual snapshots and they showed up in grub??

But do you have to rebuild grub? Can’t remember :frowning:

Description

Improves Grub by adding “btrfs snapshots” to the Grub menu.
You can start your system on a “snapshot” from the Grub menu.
Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift …

Yes according to your link it say’s:

NOTE: Generate your Grub menu after installation for the changes to take effect.

On Arch Linux use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
