Hah, noodled? Ill drop by today.

Will do

Good job!

Unfortunately it does require an update from nvidia 265 (so the ion2 architecture may be recognized) AND an update to alsa (to recognize and understand how to work with the updated nvidia hardware), in terms what revision they need to be at or what the cutoff is I don't know and that's pretty much where my investigation died off a couple of months back.

Considering the fundamental nature of these updates, when will 12.04 go into alpha testing? It may be worthy to test the updates we need to recognize this hardware there.

Sounds good, I've reassigned the ticket to L3mce - if i can help please let me know!

I'll take this on, i've opened ticket http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1461 to track the integration work and testing

there was an issue I just committed a fix for that neglected to remove the tempdir mount point after the device was temp mounted to /tmp, details are here: http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/25373

it looks like mach64 may be the correct driver for the X (http://www.imminentweb.com/technologies/x-server-ati-rage-xl). What does is the result of this command?

Code:

lspci -nn | grep -i vga

m3freak - I can't speak for tux-box1's issue, though what you're seeing is the lack of support for the ion2 chipset for hdmi audio, specifically on 10.04. I've also been looking around the internet and it appears that in order to get this to function correctly you need to update both alsa drivers as well as the nvidia driver as well as manually modify the asound.conf file. My initial thought was that instead of updating alsa and nvidia for these specific boards (though possible and I've scripted some basic detection and installation based on board type here: http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1153 ) instead to wait for 12.04 to come out since all the updates required will already be there.

I'm curious, I saw in another thread that you had been able to get HDMI audio working. Would you mind describing what you did and what pieces of media you've tested (i.e. myth, dvd, avi, mp3, etc)?

In response to the original question in the topic:

1004 setup w/ Gb network:
POST - 5 seconds
Upstart/SysVinit/X to usable - 2 min 5 seconds


Total - 2 min 10 seconds

awesome, thanks!

I think your question was for posde - though I'm all for it!

I like the updated look of the wiki, good job.

Under favorites, exemplary setups links to a non existent page (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Categor:User_Setups)

I think it's supposed to go to this one: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Category:User_Setups

I would fix it myself though I don't think I have access, if I do, I don't know how to edit that navigation bar!

I've closed my ticket as I didn't know this one existed!

This is definitely do-able, the only issue I have is I can't test it. If you're willing to help  either code or at least test out the logic i'm all about it.
