Users / Creeping Load Average on 810 Hybrid Core
« on: June 15, 2009, 10:23:18 pm »
Ok,

So I've been using my Core as a hybrid orbiter for a few weeks now and have noticed some "jumpy" video issues.  This is when I am playing directly from a DVD or through Flash.  I have been doing a top and can see that over time the load averages are slowly climbing higher and higher.  So far the highest load average I have seen is 17.97, which is a little high for my current hardware.  I'm wondering if there is a way to troubleshoot this issue, or if other users have had similar issues.  I have yet to find anything in the forum.  I'm also wondering if this issue could be hardware related.  Currently my hybrid core is running on the following hardware:

ASUS A8N-Delux Motherboard
AMD X2 3800+
2 GB RAM
1.5 TB HD
GeForce 8800 GT

I don't think I had these issues when running 710, but I could be wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.  I can get additional information from the system if needed.

Thanks!

Installation issues / LinuxMCE 8.10 alpha 2.22 installation issues
« on: June 03, 2009, 09:17:48 pm »
I have recently installed Kubuntu 8.10 and run the instruction for installing using the alpha 2.22 installer.  After completing the installation and rebooting the computer the AV Wizard runs fine.  After the AVWizard finishes I get a black or gray screen with a mouse cursor on it.  Sometimes I get a popup message complaining that the remote server cannot be reached.  I believe this issue is related to having Asterix enabled.  I can do a ctrl+alt+F1 and tail the logs.  From the logs I see the following message over and over:

1   06/03/09 10:19:43   21 (spawning-device)   Starting... 50
1   06/03/09 10:19:43   21 (spawning-device)   Found /usr/pluto/bin/LaunchOrbiter.sh
1   06/03/09 10:19:43   LaunchOrbiter (server)   Number of desktops found: 8 ; desktops activated
1   06/03/09 10:19:43   LaunchOrbiter (server)   Primary desktop: 6 and secondary desktop 7
3   06/03/09 10:19:54   21 (spawning-device)   Device died... count=50/50 dev=21
3   06/03/09 10:20:04   21 (spawning-device)   Aborting restart of device 21...

After it attempts to start device 21 50 times it gives up and I see nothing further in the pluto.log or DCERouter.log.  I have tried re-installing LinuxMCE multiple times and the results are always the same.  This computer was being used with LinuxMCE 710, and the only issue I had was with the display resolution.  Here is some system information:

AMD X2 3800+
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
EVGA GeForce 8800 GT (Using Restricted Drivers provided by Kubuntu 180.11 I believe)
46" Samsung LCD TV
2 GB RAM

Please note that I am still able to access KDE just fine, if I press ctrl+alt+backspace, then use startx or sudo kdm at the command prompt.  Once in KDE everything seems to work fine.  I should also note that this install was originally done with a Ubuntu CD and KDE was added after install and Gnome was removed.  This was due to the fact that I could not get Kubuntu 8.1 to install from CD or DVD.  I would be willing to do a re-install of Kubuntu if I could find an iso source that works  ;)  I should also note that the Web interface is accessible, but only by accessing it from the Core through KDE.  I can provide any logs that may be needed and have already copied all of the files in /var/log/pluto.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
