Installation issues / Re: 10.04 Install issue [SOLVED]

« on: March 13, 2013, 01:12:09 am »

If not in a VM, it would be ctrl + alt + f2

Again... if there is an existing (probably broken) /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will not be able to setup how you wish... everything will be blown. rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*

This will start you fresh, reboot and you will be at AVWizard, and you can test the resolutions properly, with no odd sizing. It simply will not display a resolution it cannot display. If your TV cannot do 1080p then it wont... you will simply fall back to the native resolution after 15 seconds of trying.


If your TV is 1080p capable, chances are your GPU is too at this point.

There is a test button in AVWizard at UI selection... Use it.

If you changed monitors, LMCE held the old monitor values when it created the first xorg.conf.


If you remove /etc/X11/xorg.con* and reboot, avwizard will not be inappropriately sized.

It does work... it appears not to work when AVWiz crashes.

This problem is likely due to the problem I created with conflicting nvidia install info.

I did not read his statement properly. I thought he tried to manually run /usr/pluto/bin/AVWizard_Run.sh
That was what I was referring to "not expecting to work" running on its own.

So... What I would advise is... become root and:

apt-get remove --purge *nvidia*
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot


This assumes you are on an nvidia chipset.
On update, it did all of this automagically on its own... but I did not have 2 versions of the driver installed. This is best to start over.

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot

Make sure TV is the only thing plugged in. Will pop up at avwiz. You cannot just run that script and expect it to work.

You will probably want to use the dvd installer. I just found a bunch of jumbled nvidia install stuff and fixed it. That is probably at fault here. Please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA

I would, as root:
apt-get update
apt-get -yf upgrade
apt-get remove --purge *nvidia*
rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot

You should end up at AVWizard. Sorry if this was my doing.

I need to see

Code: [Select]

tail -9 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; cat /etc/udev/rules.d/85-linuxmce-audio.rules
I will have a new file tonight or tomorrow.

re nvidia

please give me the output of:
lspci -nn | grep VGA
dpkg-query -l  nvidia* | grep ^ii


QNAP never queried you? Unplug and plug it in again. Also check the ethernet cable going to the MD... make sure moving it to another location doesn't make it fast.

yup... that's it. Don't worry about ign... worry about err from mirrors. Been good lately but has problems when a local repo are... not working right.

AG  try this

Code: [Select]

wget -P /usr/pluto/bin http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/export/27256/people/l3mce/SetCardRules
chmod +x /usr/pluto/bin/SetCardRules
Then you can either run /usr/pluto/bin/SetCardRules or add that line to a0start_avwizard after CheckVideoDriver
This will run every boot obviously, and if a change is detected in cards, it will cement the new structure as they are added/removed. If you remove the card you have chosen previously in avwiz, avwiz will have to be run again... unless it was replaced with the same thing in the same physical slot.

I am going to need one of you in chat... better yet ssh access... but it is not clear to me what is breaking.

I am using trunk as a testing repo... as prescribed. Once I know things work I will move them into repo. This, for instance, is the wrong approach.

I need to create udev rules, as currently if you have 5 of the same sound cards, this will not prevent slot flopping.

For now... I have dumped this into 1004 trunk. Armorgnome, please replace your /usr/pluto/bin/AVWizard_Run.sh with this
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/export/27234/trunk/src/AVWizard/scripts/AVWizard_Run.sh

reboot to AVWizard, finish, then please pastebin your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Thanks!

This goes for anyone with more than 2 soundcards listed in aplay -l

Just the ATI machine.

Please report your results. We do not have VAAPI support in 1004, but performance should still be much better than the radeon driver.
