[Voyage-linux] voyage.update missets /var permissions, and apt-get update shows inappropriate lilo warning

[Mark Schlegel]

I just got my Alix 2d2 installed with Voyage MPD 0.7.5 and had some questions.

When I did the set up for nfs, that went fine and then so did the initial apt-
get update and upgrade to update my installation.
But the upgrade shows a warning page that tells me to run liloconfig and 
/sbin/lilo or else my install will not work.  But looking around I think 
Voyage mpd 0.7.5 is grub based so this warning is bogus and can just be 
ignored?

Also, I then tried to start mpd with:

# /etc/init.d/mpd start

but then got this error:

Starting Music Player Daemon: mpdFailed to load database: Failed to open 
database file "/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache": No such file or directory
database: Can't create db file in "/var/lib/mpd": Permission denied
no message buffer overruns failed!

I then looked and found most of the directories under /var were owned by id 
"500" which doesn't exist on my Alix box which explains the permission 
problem.  I think this is pollution from my Fedora box where I build the CF 
card by doing:

format-cf.sh

and

voyage.update    using the tar ball file.  My Fedora user id is 500/500 
(default for user ids, they start from 500 and go up).  Is this a problem with 
the voyage.update script?   Would the fix be to just set all the dirs and files 
under /var/ as owned by "mpd" or should that be 'root' ?
