Mce completely takes control of alsa and the xorg file. If you have mce installed, then update alsa, then relaunch the av wizard, does the hdme audio work?

Unfortunately I believe there is an issue with deb.linuxmce.org which has nothing to do with your config which should be fixed soon.


Regarding the mixer channels, you're 100% correct in that either alsa or the drivers aren't picking them up.

One more command if you don't mind:

Code:

lshwd  | grep VGA | grep controller

whoop, not amixer controls, amixer scontrols, you should get output similar to this:

Code:

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Simple mixer control 'Front',0
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'Surround',0
Simple mixer control 'Center',0
Simple mixer control 'LFE',0
Simple mixer control 'Side',0
Simple mixer control 'Line',0
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Mic Boost',0
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1
Simple mixer control 'Beep',0
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
Simple mixer control 'Capture',1
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',1

Good to hear it twodogs.

Bongowongo - would you pastebin your /var/log/LinuxMCE_Setup.log ?

Odd, I don't *think* it would be a driver issue, but I could be wrong. Before you start upgrading any of the packages, would you run the following two commands and paste the output for me?

lspci

and

amixer scontrols

My HDMI controls are IEC958* and that's what's started for the AVWizard, other folks match this though it's entirely possible yours is named something else. Or you're right and it's a driver issue.

I wonder if there's a bios update which corrects that at this point?

hi gtsupport - i've made many updates to the installation process within the last 3 weeks, hdmi audio should now work by default, hdmi video for the avwizard should now work by default, nouveau drivers are blacklisted by default, the alsa version installed with kubuntu works by default. I've used the process multiple times in the last week testing and it has been successful on my hardware. In your hours of testing last night did you try an install just following the wiki?

Thanks, I'm looking at the code now, the telling lines are 564-566:

Code:

Thu Oct  6 16:30:28 MDT 2011 - Starting NIC Discovery and Configuration
Using eth0 for single nic install
eth0 does not use DHCP, setting ExtUseDhcp=0 and RunDHCPServer=1 and detecting current network settings

Ok, so from your ifconfig output you surely are running two nics...

The way it's making this determination in the script is with this command:

ifconfig -s -a  | awk '$1 != "Iface" && $1 != "lo" && $1 != "pan0" { print $1 }' | wc -l

When the script was run, only the number 1 was returned. If you run it now would you confirm that you get the number 2?

Hi twodogs - would you pastebin your /var/log/LinuxMCE_Setup.log ?

hi twodogs - is the 810 setup working?

Hi twodogs - thanks for testing. when you say you cannot enter lmce admin, are you talking about the web admin interface? Are you attempting to connect to it from the core via KDE desktop or are you attempting to reach it somewhere else on your network?

What i'm thinking the issue is, is that the network detection didn't properly detect the NIC that is connected tot he internet and assigned it as the internal nic.

Would you run ifconfig -a on your core and paste the output?

Also try to launch the web admin from the core itself by opening a firefox session and enter:
http://localhost

before retesting, please make sure to do an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade to get the latest scripts from the repository

confirmed, nuwis you can check on updates via trac tickets:
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1218

and

^This one is for french specifically

gtsupport, both hdmi audio and video should be working for md builds at this point for 1004. I've made multiple changes to the installation process (core and MD) over the last month, please retest.

HDMI audio via the avwizard by default has now been committed to SVN. The next repackage run will allow you to take advantage of this when building the foxconn (as well as any media directory using HDMI) so you don't have to hook up a VGA connection (i'm happy to bid farewell to that monitor i lugged around the last couple of years whenever I setup an md).

This concludes the last remaining issue I'm aware of for a seamless MD build for the foxconn nt330i.

If any issues are noticed please let me know.
