What USB sound card have you got? I have the Startech Virtual 7.1 USB Audio Adapter (model No. ICUSBAUD107) and it is plug'n'play - if it isn't, then my understanding is that you need to install it first as you would with any Linux system, and then go from there. It might even be appropriate to make a template for it.

To get you started, you can check if it is being recognised with "lsusb", and then Google accordingly.

No idea how to stop it from defaulting to the internal sound card - blacklist the module for it perhaps? <-- Complete guess, proceed at your own risk.

Simply uncheck auto-generated scenarios to stop them appearing.

Re-order what remains with the "up" and "down" buttons in the "Sort Scenarios" section (under Wizard -> Scenarios).

I have a motion security light which plugs in to a standard wall socket, to which I have now added a z-wave plugin module.

However the light doesn't turn off! Is LMCE and/or the Z-wave controller doing something to the plug-in module that prevents the light from turning off?

Cheers,
Matt.

I do beg your pardon, didn't see that.

You said you tried another NAS - isn't there a bug that prevents new NASs from being detected?

If you want to trying cleaning the database (at your own risk, but I have done this before without any adverse effects)...

Code:

mysql -uroot

mysql> use pluto_main
mysql> DELETE FROM PnpQueue;

...then reload router.

Just thought I'd share my experiences with a gyro mouse/keyboard that I recently purchased in case anybody else wanted to take a look http://www.amazon.co.uk/2-4GHz-Sensing-Wireless-Keyboard-Android/dp/B008S73V8A

It's great! The keys are nice and "clicky", and don't leave you with that "have I pressed it, or haven't I" feeling. The gyro mouse part works well also - compared to the GO Plus Gyration Air Mouse, which I think is ridiculously expensive for what it is, it is almost as good (in terms of cursor movement). When you press the button to stop the cursor from moving there is a _slight_ delay, but to be honest I don't use that button now that I am used to it.

Negatives - some might consider the piano black finish to be a bit cheap, but personally I don't mind (speaks volumes about me!) - it does come in white though. Shift needs to be held down for the function keys. And it isn't rechargeable, the x3 AAA batteries need to be physically replaced. That said I've been using it continuously for a month and haven't had to replace the batteries yet, so it must be fairly good on juice.

Bottom line is that I am going to buy another.

Matt.

Bother! I thought it was a bit weird that I was doing that on the core.

I am experimenting with running an orbiter on my joggler running UNR, using Foxi's wiki page as a guide http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Joggler#Create_directory_structure

I am trying to...

Code:

chown -R joggler:joggler /usr/pluto
chown -R joggler:joggler /var/log/pluto

...on the core, but it is giving me the error:

Code:

chown: invalid user: `joggler:joggler'

Have attempted to create the group "joggler" with "groupadd -f joggler", but no joy. I also tried creating the user "joggler" as I could not see it listed in /etc/passwd, but it asks for a new password of course, and didn't know what to put.

Am I right in saying the user "joggler" and the group "joggler" need to exist, or have I misunderstood the chown command?

Cheers,
Matt.

I am keeping an eye out for you on IRC.

Something else that occurred to me; when I first installed the MD I was playing with different refresh rates and/or resolutions if I recall correctly. I wasn't happy with the selection, and found that I couldn't get the AVWizard to run from the orbiter button, or by holding shift during restart. Therefore I ran it with...

Code:

/usr/pluto/bin/AVWizard_Run.sh

I wonder if this has anything to do with it. Barney, have you run this command at any point?

Cheers,
Matt.

Not sure why this was causing me problems before, but I've now had success with the following steps...

- Connection wizard (in A/V equipment) - add device "Game Console".
(This adds device controlled by core by default).
- A/V equipment - click on "core" where it says "controlled by:" in order to change it to moonXX
- Return to connection wizard and setup audio/video pipes
- Reboot

Cheers,
Matt.

My setup hasn't changed - LG TV controlled via RS232. I swear I used to just add "Games Console" to A/V Devices, set up the pipes in the wizard, and then pressing the resulting scenario would change the TV input to AV1 (for example) and I could alter the volume etc. But this doesn't seem to work now.

The TV onscreen orbiter changes to black squares, the mobile orbiter displays the correct controls, but the TV input does not change over. Have I forgotten something?

I did try changing the entry for /dev/tty (default is 'please select'), but all that did is stop the TV from working.

Cheers,
Matt.

libxine1 version = 1.1.17-1ubuntu3
libxine2 version = 1.2.1.git20120214-0yavdr2~lucid

I've added some mkvinfo for a couple of MKVs that cause this issue; they all appear to be the same.

Cheers,
Matt.

Hey I found this also. MP4 and MKVs put into a queue / playlist makes everything freeze up, fixed by cancelling playback, but then a quick reload or two is required.

I thought it may have been something to do with me uninstalling mythtv, so I restored to a previous image just to check, but the problem still exists.

Cheers,
Matt.

Changes reverted, have just rebooted, AVWizard ran as usual, and this is today's log http://pastebin.com/fGf0EMTe
