[File pluto/pluto-default-voicemenu does not exist in any format]

Hi,

I followed the thread that was supposed to solve this in January, but it does not work for me in the final release of 10.04:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,13068.0.html

I've changed the permissions to asterisk:asterisk rebooted asterisk (and the core for good measure) and still nothing happens:

 -- Executing [s@voice-menu-lmce-custom:4] Background("SIP/206.15.148.189-00000002", "pluto/pluto-default-voicemenu")

Also, when I dial *98 I get no voicemail prompts although Asterisk seems to think it is playing them:

No sound and no password entered....

I'll keep digging but if anyone has fixed this on their own core, I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance.

apt-get update then apt-get upgrade from command line.

Does no one else have this issue or am I the only lucky one?

i"ll try installing another diskless MD this weekend and see if the issue is duplicated on that one.

There are many great features in 10.4: Installation seems flawless, many of the devices that were laborious to install in 8.10 are PNP in 10.4 (gc-100 and PLM for example) and video streaming of movies and recorded TV seems to work better than ever.

However, there are also a number of surprising things I have been finding out while trying to get 8.10 devices to work on 10.4:

Don't try and upgrade the nvidia driver--it will put you into API mismatch hell

Ctrl alt backspace will not get you out of the x terminal in 10.4--you have to manually go in to the keyboard setup and tell it those keystrokes

The PNP que only gives you so many chances to use a device--use them up and you have to go into mysql and delete all instances of the device in the database so that it can start over.

Drivers that were buggy/non functional in 8.10 may seem functional in 10.4 but may still be buggy--do your research.

A case in point brought me to another surprising discovery: When you go to update a diskless MD (as when you change the buggy Realtek 8169 driver that comes with 10.4 to the updated 8168 driver that works well with 10.4) you run into a conflict between different kernels:

root@dcerouter:/boot# cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless# chroot 80
root@dcerouter:/# depmod
WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.32-45-generic: No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.32-45-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory


root@dcerouter:/boot# uname -a
Linux dcerouter 2.6.32-45-generic #104-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 19 21:21:41 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

root@dcerouter:/# cd /lib/modules/
root@dcerouter:/lib/modules# ls
2.6.32-46-generic

What is going on? one says 45 and the other is 46.

My workaround (which seems to work so far):

root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless# chroot 80
root@dcerouter:/# depmod 2.6.32-46-generic
root@dcerouter:/# mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` 2.6.32-46-generic

here is the background on the issue:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Realtek_8168

I've done update and upgrade inside both the core and the MD

I admit profound ignorance when it comes to depmod and the different kernels in play. My question: Is this a bug that needs to be addressed?

Many thanks for any input.

Here is a fix that worked for me when my 8.10 system went down with Sandy and as I rebuilt it I decided to fix all those little things that irritated me along the way:

This problem is apparently a bug that has been documented with other ubuntu users of that era and was successfully fixed by upgrading alsa to later versions. I decided to upgrade to the most recent alsa version after my tv, video etc were all working and I found that when I downgraded, as suggested above, the phone worked but the tv, video sound did not and I didn't want to jump into the morass of an earlier alsa to figure it out.

I worked from the instructions found here:

http://www.webupd8.org/2009/08/how-to-upgrade-to-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu.html

but found that the libncurses-dev file was the wrong one for upgrading the alas-utils. I have changed that in the instructions below:

----------------------------
remove the existing alsa:

apt-get remove alsa-modules-`uname -r`

you can replace it later if you have problems with:

apt-get install alsa-modules-`uname -r`
then reboot
---------------------------------------
now the drivers load, the phone rings, but the video and tv sound don't work
after the reboot:

root@dcerouter:~# cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.17.
(the previous version which you just removed was 1.0.23)

so rather than mess around with the old driver lets dive in and try and install the latest alsa driver and see if that improves things:
-----------------------------
Make a directory where you are going to store things initially:

sudo mkdir -p ~/downloads/alsa
---------------------------------
Get all the files you will need to build alsa:

apt-get -y install build-essential libncursesw5-dev get text xmlto

sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r`
---------------------------------------------
Switch into the directory you made and start downloading the alsa files:
cd ~/downloads/alsa

wget http://ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.25.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.25.tar.bz2
---------------------------
make a directory where you will unpack everything

sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa

then copy the files you just downloaded into that directory:

cp * /usr/src/alsa
---------------------------
now unpack:

cd /usr/src/alsa/

sudo tar xjf alsa-driver*

sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*

sudo tar xjf alsa-utils*

----------------------------------
Compile alsa driver:
cd alsa-driver*

sudo ./configure

sudo make
(this takes awhile)
sudo make install
------------------------------------
compile  alsa-lib:
cd ../alsa-lib*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

-------------------------------------
compile alsa-utils
cd ../alsa-utils*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
----------------------------------
reboot

--------------------------------
then:
cat /proc/asound/version

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.

Trying to get incoming calls to work on 10.04--even with a fairly good understanding of asterisk and the now missing freepbx--has been frustrating. Here is one clue if you are getting the message "this number is not in service, please check the number and dial again" when you call into your lmce phone:

Apparently the number detection is not yet working--or I haven't found a way to turn it on yet--and so asterisk thinks it is an anonymous call. In /etc/extensions.conf the second line under globals is set to no

 ALLOW_SIP_ANON = no

this kicks any phone call into internal voice message that sounds exactly like a phone provider message informing the dialer that the number is not in service. If you change this to

ALLOW_SIP_ANON = yes

and the do a core restart gracefully inside of asterisk, external phone calls will now be allowed to go in to the system

Of course you are still not "home" yet as the system then tells you that pluto default voice mail does not exist and then just hangs not knowing what to do:

I'll post here if I find any way around this, but in the meantime, if people call you on your cell and let you know your phone has been taken out of service you will know why.

One more hint: when setting up your phone lines to your sip provider in the "prefix" field you should enter the number you want to dial out before the phone number, as in 91973-xxx-xxxx in the US. This seems like a great feature as it allows you to have several providers and dial automatically to that provider based on where the call is going and which prefix you use. I found this in the forum, but it was not intuitively obvious in the web admin.

Finally, do you think we could get a FAQ going just about how 10.04 asterisk is supposed to work and the gotchas? Searching the forum and/or wiki gives you all the flavors of asterisk used to date and is highly inefficient. Since freepbx is no longer implemented, searching the web isn't useful as it assumes you are using freepbx as part of the solution.

Just my 2 cents.

Loaded 10.04 and overall very impressed however I again found a problem detecting hdpvr if you have a new model  "4903"

In all fairness, it looks like the files to make and install the driver are there--it just didn't get compiled against the correct kernel and was never installed. I need to know how to make and install the hdpvr.ko driver agains the current kernel. Since the files are in different places than in 8.10 I'm hesitant to wade in without some guidance.

Background:
When you do a modinfo hdpvr you get:

filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.32-42-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/hdpvr/hdpvr.ko
description:    Hauppauge HD PVR driver

license:        GPL
srcversion:     B206354E5E27473B8EAF8BB
alias:          usb:v2040p4902d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v2040p4901d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
alias:          usb:v2040p4900d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
depends:        videodev,v4l2-common
vermagic:       2.6.32-42-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586
....

which shows that the driver has loaded but 4903 is not included in the list and it was compiled against the 2.6.32-42-generic kernel.

However, if you go to

/mnt/device/38/copy _root_files/v4l-dvb/v4l

(38 is the device number of my hard drive)

there is another hdpvr.ko which--if you check hdpvr.h--has been compiled to include the 4903 id
The problem is that you can not simply copy it to the folder the system looks for the modules because it is compiled against the wrong version of linux and will not load:

 modprobe hdpvr
FATAL: Error inserting hdpvr (/lib/modules/2.6.32-42-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/hdpvr/hdpvr.ko): Invalid module format

however, a modinfo reveals what the hdpvr.h file reveals--it is setup for 4903--just the wrong kernel

vermagic:       2.6.27-17-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586

I don't want to mess anything up at this point--so does anyone have a suggestion about how to compile these files agains the current kernel? A simple make does not work even though the makefile is there as it wants a target which I am hesitant to give without some more guidance.

As from my earlier post in 8.10, the problem is that unless LMCE has the correct driver in place it does not see "4903" and the PNP will not detect the device. And please, if any developers are reading this, it looks like everything has been fixed except for compiling/loading the correct driver. Please help!

Here is the link to my 8.10 post:
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,10945.0.html

I am seeing a number of conflicting threads/tutorials on this forum about how to do this and wondered if anyone had a solid solution for 8.10. The problem is that mythTV does a better job of playing back these recordings than the current xine player and so I really don't want them cluttering up the dvd collection. Also, I have a huge data disk that I put all the data on and I don't want my startup disk that runs linuxmce to fill up with mythtv recordings before it goes and finds the other disk to download to.

The solutions (and problems) I have found so far:

One tutorial suggests creating a new folder and then "touching" it to keep the media from updating it:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/MythTv:_Don%27t_scan_live_tv

However, that suggestion has met with a lot of developer wrath...and would likely need to change the directory of the scripts for installing and maintaing the mythTV databases.

Another suggestion, from CHT, says to put the recordings outside the /public/data directory so it won't be scanned and updated in the database, but, again, that seems to be in conflict with scripts put in place by linuxmce to install and update. I would prefer to make one change that is not overwritten later by a script that runs automatically or is overwritten by and upgrade.

Seems like a trivial problem, but there is enough conflicting info out there that I thought I would ask for your advice first.

In advance, thanks for your suggestions

Thank you so much! For the first time I can play mythtv recordings that show up in the video list directly through LMCE. This has been a deficiency that has been often commented on but none of the earlier fixes took care of it on my system. Fantastic upgrade for LMCE. Great work.

I went to get postfix working based on the wiki tutorial here:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Postfix_configured_with_Gmail_SMTP

the scripts that are supposed to be in a tar download but will not untar:

wget http://donpaul.info/configure_postfix.tar

looks like they have been corrupted or are being seen as cpgz files

I then checked if Configure_Postfix_interactive.sh is installed to  /usr/pluto/bin

Yep, already there. I updated the tutorial

I read through the wiki tutorial and it mentions that you should have built an configured template 2209 as a preface to the steps. On 8.10 I don't have that template. Could you please post how to create or gain access to the template you refer to?

I read through your threads and it appears I am having the same issue that you were attempting to resolve some time ago: I add template #4 to devices climate and fill in the room and insteon port, the insteon PLM sees it and enters it into the database but when you rebuild all the orbiters to show that a climate device is there, apparently LMCE goes through and checks all the GSD devices and for some reason doesn't see it in the list and then deletes it. This happened 3 times to me until I read through the threads.

If you have worked out a new template that fixes this problem that would be great!

I went through these instructions and got 8.10 to play flawlessly with the mythtv frontend over hdmi. Thanks!

However when it comes to libxine, xine player crashes when you try and start up a DVD under video with the plea that:

I'm unable to initialize m_pXine's 'alsa' audio driver. <0xb6498b90>

I went back to /etc/pluto/xine.conf and changed the audio.driver setting back to "auto" and it gave me the same plea.

Reading around various posts it seems that it might be caused by another program hijacking alsa and not releasing it (for example mythtv) but without pursuing this further, I wondered it anyone had a similar problem or had ideas about how to overcome it.

I have the 1.0.24.2 alsa drivers installed and the latest libxine2 and pluto-xine dpkg packages from phenigma.

My only other thought is that I have 3 devices available from the NVIDIA driver install, and I have set up one device as default as per the instructions in ~/.asoundrc   and /home/linuxmce/.asoundrc:


pcm.!default {
      type hw
      card 1
      device 7 
}



Would there be a way to tell xine to use a different device, say 1,9? It doesn't work by just going in and setting the audio.alsa setting in xine.conf. 

As you can tell, alsa is a big black box to me so I need some help troubleshooting what went wrong, since mythtv uses this fix so perfectly.

here is my aplay -l if that helps:

OK, if anyone else has this problem, most of the issues I experienced were from the lucid upgrade knocking out the dhcp server function of LMCE making my GC-100 non functional as well as other devices whose IP lease had expired during the power outage.

The way I fixed it was a bit messy but it may give you an idea of how to go about addressing it on your system should the need arise.
Since I could not restart the dhcp3-server the first thing I tried to do was remove it. Well, this also took out dce-router so that was not so good. I reinstalled dce-router and then tried to reinstall dhcp3-server but got a dependency error that stated that the wrong dhcp3-common file is installed--which is what I suspect the lucid upgrade did. So I removed the dhcp3-common file that was installed and installed the correct one, then reinstalled dhcp3-server. However, the server would not start and gave this error:

Setting up dhcp3-server (3.1.1-1ubuntu2.2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server ...
dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file.
The error was:
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.1.1
Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/
Can't open /etc/bind/rndc.key: Permission denied
invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed.

So searching the internet, I found this fix:

I have added these two lines to the dhcp3 profile: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd3
/etc/bind/ r,
/etc/bind/** r,
After restarting apparmor

/etc/init.d/apparmor restart

I am now able to restart dhcp3 without any errors.

then

/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart


Which was true, but somehow eth0 had lost its ability to get an ip meaning I had a functional intranet but no internet. So I changed eth0 settings from DHCP to manual and filled them in, and then rebooted hoping for the best.

So far, so good. I don't know if LMCE recognized all the shenanigans I had pulled and reinstalled the correct files or if this actually worked on its on, but when I do an apt-get upgrade nothing shows up, dhcp is assigning addresses again, gc-100 works and I have learned my lesson to never ever upgrade unless you check it out first.

I guess I did not know how. I guess thought checking the box to share them somehow automatically brought them into the database. Happy to do it. Is there a link somewhere with the instructions?

Thanks for the update.

1. I too have an HD-PVR so it is good to know that it is not just me. I've been looking around on the web and it seems like the best fix is to transcode them from mpeg2 to avi and then they should play. I'll try it ASAP. It is just frustrating to have them mapped inside of the Video tab in LMCE and see a perfect picture but no sound.

However, my TV recordings play perfectly inside of mythTV with the libxine2 install so I'm not sure what you are referring to on that front.

2. I wasn't using a hub but thanks for the cautionary note. It seems like the "lucid" update changed things so that the gc-100 is no longer functional. If I plug the insteon PLM directly into a serial port it works fine.  I'm going to try reinstalling the gc-100 to see if that works.

Another bug that has turned up is the breaking of the DHCP function of LMCE: It will no longer assign IP addresses to devices but works fine if you manually enter an IP address or if the IP address for the device was already in the networking table. This may be a function of my particular machine and network manager being reinstalled by the update. I had to delete network manager to get my machine to work initially, so I will try doing it again and see if it fixes the problem.

I guess the bottom line for me is the question of whether there is any way to "repair" my installation of 8.10. I seem to remember that there was a way in 7.x but I wonder if anyone has tried it with the finished 8.10. Since all my data is on a separate drive I'm wondering if I just go in and reinstall on the LMCE drive if it will be smart enough to figure out where everything is or how much manual labor will be involved in getting it to see everything again.

Also, I'm still wishing there was a way to save all my custom templates.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I removed the lucid reference in sources.list and so upgrade shows nothing to install or update.

I went in and fixed the sound/video issues by following the link for installing libxine2 and "downgrading" to phinigma's pluto-xine-player:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,11497.0.html

I had to apt-get install w32codecs after this to get certain files to work.

On that front the only thing that does not work is recorded programs from mythtv that show up in the video menu--the image is fine but there is no sound--this may be the flavor of mpeg file they use at myth?

My insteon devices keep switching the serial port after every restart so I'm not sure if that was due to the upgrade or the power outage corrupting something. I'm still trying to figure out how to handle this.

Other than that, I can't see anything else that is not working. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to reverse the "upgraded" files from the lucid depository.

Thanks!
