I’ve been running a comic server on my Raspberry Pi for a while without issue, but I think I broke something when I tried adding one of my existing libraries to the application on another computer. Now it refuses to open a window when launched in the Pi. The process is running, and I can access existing libraries from other devices, but it’s impossible to manage my libraries. I’ve tried reinstalling, but that doesn’t help.

Luis Ángel Offline Administrator Posts: 2617 Thank you received: 543 Karma: 22	That's the problem then. You probably have yacreaderlibraryserver running as a service that starts automatically. YACReaderLibrary runs it's own server, so you can use it instead.

Hi,

I've been getting reports from other users with similar problems. From what I could gather this is caused by a change in how Debian's package format treats systemd services by default. Until recently, you had to explicitely configure a package to enable and start a service, this has changed to all services installed being enabled and started by default.

This means that YACReaderLibraryServer is running on your device and will continue to run unless you disable the service, which means you cannot open the library and window.

The command for disabling a user service is:

systemctl --user stop yacreaderlibraryserver
systemctl --user disable yacreaderlibraryserver

If after doing this you discover that the library window is still not opening, you need to remove the server socket from /tmp. For a bunch of workarounds on how to do this, see this issue:

github.com/YACReader/yacreader/issues/362

Please report back if this resolved your issue.

My answers are not necessarily official YACReader statements but mostly represent my own opinion in technical matters.
