Ok here's what I have

Installed fresh 26592.

AVWizard started fine (this usually does not happen until I update alsa driver)
No sound device shown in wizard.
Selected stereo analog. No sound at test
Wizard finished fine.

Setup wizard started fine.
No Sarah video (this usually happens when I have some sound issue)
That wizard finished fine.

Ran AVWizard again
Selected SPDIF Optical
Still no sound

Loaded some video media onto hard drive. Tried to play but would not play. Interesting though is that the remote came up. Also no sound.

Did

Code:

jim@dcerouter:~$ sudo aplay -l
[sudo] password for jim:
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
jim@dcerouter:~$

Plugged in that MD I was having that "Failed To Setup X" from other post.

Installed perfectly

AVWizard started fine
Sound devices showed up. Interesting to note 2 devices showed Generic and Nvidia. Audio over HDMI? Nice surprise if so.
Selected stereo analog (all I have here and what I'm planning on using)

Setup wizard started fine with the Sarah video and sound.
That finished fine.
Played same video loaded onto core from above and plays fine with audio.
This MD is good to go with much thanks to L3mce. I will update that thread to reflect that when able

I usually run a script that gets my WinTV HVR-2500 going and upgrades the asla driver to the 1.0.25 version and that gets my audio going. I had previously upgraded to 26592 after running that script and had static at the stereo analog as well as whatever sound was playing. SPDIF Optical was perfect.

I converted back to my "Production" setup which is running 26373 with the asla driver upgraded to test the stereo analog.
I ran the AVWizard
The audio device was shown.
I chose stereo analog.
No sound at the test.
Wizard finished fine.
Tried to play video and did not play (no remote this time) also no sound.

I have one more test I can run. I have an USB audio device that I have not yet used. I am planning on using this for whole house audio of which I am just starting to look at.
I would like to see how that performs under 26592.
Should I check this?

Anything else that might be help full?

Take care

Hi L3mce,

Output of sudo aplay -l before latest upgrade

Code:

jim@dcerouter:~$ sudo aplay -l

Still sound staticy on analog stereo but clear on spdif optical. I think sound was fine on the analog before but I'd like to test to see if it is a hardware issue before saying there is an issue.

I would like to also try this again as a fresh install. I had run my alsa driver upgrade script on this before the last upgrade. I should have that done by this time tomorrow.

Also video plays fine.

Once again thanks for your efforts!

Worked like a charm!

You are a saint.

You work tirelessly at this and if there is anything I can do to help you pm me.

I will convert back over to the development setup tomorrow and get you the aplay info. I'm UTC - 5 right now. So around UTC 15:00

Thanks again!

Did it on both. On the moon seems to make most sense right now.

See what she does..

Please edit /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
under DRIVER_260_SUPPORTED=
add 10c3

Should this be done in the moon or on the core? I'm back to having the MD1 machine as a MD.

Hi l3mce,

Hi SBCC, what is this hardware?
lspci -nn | grep VGA

I have loaded lmce onto the machine that was giving me the problems with the "Failed To Setup X".
Installed with no AVWizard start. Sarah started ok and went through that. UI1 started with sound. Restarted with AVWizard and now I get "Failed To Setup X"
On that machine which was the new MD I get;

Code:

dcerouter_1031922:/home/jim# lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:10c3] (rev a2)

Check to see that you indeed do NOT have internet (ctrl alt f2) ping -c4 google.com

Also

Code:

ping -c4 google.com

gives me a good response

If you DO have internet, simply rebooting should solve everything... it will pick up and start rolling. My guess is you are using the nouveau driver.
lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 to be sure.

Here I get

Code:

dcerouter_1031922:/home/jim# lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:10c3] (rev a2)
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller [10de:0be3] (rev a1)

I will try rebooting here now

On the other machine that has the upgraded 26373 (i believe I see some 26579 software in that upgrade.) After running the alsa fix I can play video and have sound but it is bad. I'm going to run the AVWizard again there and see what that does. I will then put it back to where it was when I was adding the MD mentioned above.

I know I am kind of mixing threads here so let me know how badly I have confused you.

By the way. My external router does not clear out its client list often and I can successfully ssh into the hybrid with several IPs Seems wierd??

Thanks for responding

Let me know if I can do more.

Update;
I rebooted the MD that is currently running its own lmce install 26373 (not upgraded) and get the same "Failed to Setup X"
The post screen did show it installing the nvidia driver.

Another update;
The hybrid that I did the upgrade on that had no sound. I upgraded the alsa driver and now the pci sound device shows on the AVWizard. After selecting stereo analog (what I have to test with) I get static. So that trick it out of my bag of tricks. I'm going to set up my hybrid/core as "Normal Operating" now. If needed I can try to install that "Failed To Setup X" machine (will refer it as MD1 from now on) as an MD and see what we see as far as internet if you like.

Thanks again

Update;

Did a fresh install of 26373 and can play video. Upgraded and cannot play. All on hybrid MD.

Also noticed that core/hybrid never gets registered so must not be that and I'm just taking shots in the dark

Did a fresh install of 26373 and upgraded. This is what I found;

AVWizard starts which normally does not due to alsa problem(I usually fix this by upgrading the asla driver)
No sound pci listed in wizard
No sound

Also cannot play video still on hybrid MD. I did not install any other MDs yet but will try now.

I'm downloading the iso now to see if that is any different

Update:
Media directors install fine. AVWizard completes fine. With sound (stereo analog) (tried analog on the H/MD as well no joy). Plays video fine.

I'm going to now try my asla upgrade script. See what she brings.

Ok to upgrade to this now?

Ok I've run out of ideas here. I'm trying to setup a new media director and getting the dreaded "Failed To Setup X". There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 but there is a xorg.conf.pluto.avwizard. I've tried creating my own xorg.conf and deleting all the xorgs. No go.

Hardware on the MD is ASRock A55M-HVS, AMD A6, ASUS GT218 GeForce 8400 GS. All of this I guessed as compatible. I have had success in the past with the 8400. For

Code:

lsmod | grep nvidia

I get nothing.

Code:

cat /proc/driver

shows no such file or directory. Tried to install driver but cannot kill X.

So now I'm stuck. I just want to know if it's a compatibility issue or me as my bag of tricks is quite limited.

One thing to note if I remove the video card and go with the onboard "even HDMI" it works fine just not good enough. Also will not start AVWizard with that.

Thanks

Hi

Did

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

today and now I can not play anything on the core/hybrid.
DCERouter.log shows

MDs are working fine.

Also not sure if related but orbiters show a whole lot of nonsense media like

Any thoughts? Something I can look at?

Thanks

I agree this is not a LMCE issue. It is some kind of hardware issue with the newer PC that I have. I believe I did get it working on that machine with a powered USB hub. I did get it working on an older machine.
Both machines I needed to run a separate circuit over to get good signal.
I will try again on the newer machine so others can use this information.

Thanks for the reply.

I installed the latest snapshot and it seems to be working ok. I now have to just fix my media raid and all will be good.

I really need a development machine.

Keep up the great work!

I think I had this working on an older machine. I will check. Also I may have added a powered USB hub to get it working. I have since switched to Insteon but I can see if I can take a look. I still have the CM15A.

Seems I may have broke something on my hybrid/core. 

I installed qbittorrent yesterday and now I no longer have sound on my hybrid/core. I have sound at the AV wizard and all the alsa outputs are fine and alsa mixer is unmuted. When i play a video I have nothing.

Any thoughts
