This post is a follow up to https://volumio.org/forum/send-log-bug-report-fails-t10926.html
As I indicated there, I’m trying to resolve some problems I’m having with my Allo Boss Player running Volumio 2.457 and connecting to a network via a TP-Link TL-WN822N. Since Chsims1 kindly told me how to use sudo journalctl via SSH, I’ve been looking at the various warnings there and trying to figure them out. I resolved the network problems I mentioned in the previous thread: the gateway ip was incorrect and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure that out, starting with a fresh install that erased the static ip and suddenly was working correctly and re-setting up the static ip worked fine and the player seems to work great.
However, there are still some apparent error messages in the boot logs that I’d like to correct or at least understand better. During the boot, the following messages appear in lines 554-659 of the boot log, consisting primarily of “no such file or directory messages”

Meanwhile, the player seems to be working properly.
