Logitech Media Server and Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS

Logitech Media Server (LMS) was formerly known as SqueezeboxServer, SqueezeCenter and SlimServer. It's been running fine on my Ubuntu Server 13.10 box. I've recently decided to take the plunge and update to 14.04.1 LTS. There were some minor issues, but nothing critical, except for Logitech Media Server which refused to start.

Logitech Media Server & MySQL

Logitech, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to rename slimserver to SqueezeCenter then Squeezebox Server and finally Logitech Media Server.
Because I like to run it on my NAS, I despise the embedded SQLite and always want it to use MySQL instead. This has always been well-documented in the slimdevices wiki.
When these steps are applied to Logitech Media Server, it reverts to SQLite on it's own.

After some troubleshooting i found updated instructions here. For the tl;dr folks, here's the relevant lines to server.prefs:
dbtype: MySQL
dbusername: slimserver
dbpassword: slimserver
dbsource: dbi:mysql:database=slimserver;mysql_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
 I can't wait to see how they will name v8 - and how they'll change the config settings once more. Sigh.
