      Version 0.8.4 in Lubuntu 20.04.01 collection doesn't update on start up even though option is chosen. It will update accurately when removing entire collection (approx. 43,000 tracks) and re-scanning collection (a long process, which is fine if it updates as I add to the collection) folder in it's entirety.

        Start strawberry from command line and see if there are any errors printed.

          I started the player from the terminal and this is the output:

          I'm not sure what I should be looking for as I've relied upon the application menu and GUI's all my Open Source experience. The Collection did not update when using the terminal or application menu.

          Funny thing is this is on an old HP Compaq and the other machine is the same and Strawberry updates just fine on it.

          Thank you in advance for any help!

            What filesystem do you use for the disk where the music directories are?
            Try to use the touch command on a music folder or a audio file and see if it anything outputs on the strawberry terminal output.

              I believe Focal Fossa (the Lubuntu distro I installed) uses initramfs and I have no idea how to how to use a "touch command", I apologize as I am an extreme novice "working under the hood" as it were.

              Thank you for trying to help me sort this out.

                To see what filesystem is in use:

                mount | column -t

                Just type touch filename, example:

                touch ~/Music/song.flac

                It won't modify the file, but only change the modification date, see if that triggers a collection update, watch the terminal output of strawberry afterwards.

                  I keep my music on an external hard drive. It is 2DC2-B347 and if I am reading this correctly it's "vfat". Am I correct?

                  Again, thank you. I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

                    I couldn't get the "touch" command to see the external hard drive. The response was "no such file or directory exists" or some such.

                      @Ed did you type something like

                      touch /media/e/2DC2-B347/<path to your music directory>/<any music file name>

                      ?

                        No but I see where I went wrong. I'm editing files currently but will give it another go later and let you know. I can't thank you enough. I really like the player and it works well on all my other machines.

                          This is the command I used:

                          touch /media/e/2DC2-B347/Altan/Another Sky/04 - Island Girl.ogg

                          and this is the response:

                          e@dshp:~$ touch /media/e/2DC2-B347/Altan/Another Sky/04 - Island Girl.ogg
                          touch: cannot touch 'Sky/04': No such file or directory
                          e@dshp:~$

                          I think it best, as this machine is not used much for playing music, to leave this be and be happy to use Strawberry on the other three machines that I do use to play music routinely. Thank you both for all your help and time.

                            You need to escape all spaces with a backslash when you type a filename on the command line.: like.: before\ after\ space

                              @Ed try typing this:

                              touch "/media/e/2DC2-B347/Altan/Another Sky/04 - Island Girl.ogg"

                              If there are spaces in your path, you need to use quotes on either end of your path. Or as Jonas said in the above post, a backslash works too, but it will have to precede every space in your path, so the easy way is to go with quotes

                              touch /media/e/2DC2-B347/Altan/Another\ Sky/04\ -\ Island\ Girl.ogg"

                                Again, thank you. I've changed my studio around a bit and basically taken this machine off line. I did learn somethings about using the command line and for that I am very appreciative. Don't worry, as the novice I am I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

                                Keep well and all the best!
