Developers / Re: squeezelite as an alternative to squeezeslave

« Last post by Esperanto on July 19, 2014, 01:06:17 pm »

I would use the existing DT otherwise you will have to change code since lmce needs to know that it is usable for playing audio. Thom pointed me to it and I made the changes but probably did something wrong cause it did not work and I ended up using the existing DT. Since phenigma wants to replace squeezeslave I see even less need to use another DT since otherwise you end up removing the same code afterwards ;-).

If possible please add a optional configuration to be able to specify pulseaudio sinks. Has no influence on the way it works for normal usage and might be useful later on (I use it myself since I run on pulseaudio).

There are two updated packages with fixes that should take care of the port forwarding setup.

Something did not complete properly in the core installation.  Weird.  Can you provide any more information about the installation?

Installation issues / Re: 30-Jun 1404 29172 loops on AVWizard

« Last post by phenigma on July 18, 2014, 09:58:51 pm »

Thanks for testing!  Unfortunately there is no hald running on 1404.  These errors will not go away until that can be fixed.    1404 is really on hold until we build something new, or de-bug why hald doesn't stay running on 1404... or if it is even possible.

Tried this out.

When setting up initial screen resolution HDMI/1080p/60hz, on Continue, system generates tons of system udev-failed to execute lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event no such file or directory messages.

Loops back to AVWizard screen - no escape.


Cheers

CheckVideoDriver is run from a few locations so commenting out that one instance will not solve any issues it is causing unfortunately.

Users / Re: unable to update please take a look at source.list

« Last post by phenigma on July 18, 2014, 09:44:47 pm »

replace anything that has "mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt" with "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/"

Replace your sources.list with the following:

Code: [Select]

    deb file:/usr/pluto/deb-cache ./

    deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ lucid main
    deb http://debian.slimdevices.com/ stable main
    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse

Installation issues / Re: LMCE 10.04 or 12.04 or 14.04?

« Last post by phenigma on July 18, 2014, 09:41:21 pm »

14.04 is a non-starter at the moment, please do not try to install it unless your intent is purely educational.  There is no device detection mechanism in 1404 right now.  A new detection method may need to be created or the old hald de-bugged for trusty.

Developers / Re: squeezelite as an alternative to squeezeslave

« Last post by phenigma on July 18, 2014, 09:36:51 pm »

There is no technical reason why they could not co-exist.  A discussion was had in irc that essentially decided there is no reason to support multiple squeezeslave binaries.  One should be chosen to maintain.  I had asked for some specifics regarding the changeover.  We can build a package for squeezelite on precise, that's not really an issue (imho).

If the squeezeslave binaries are no longer under development then we should migrate to squeezelite.

I wanted to swap out my squeezeslave instances with squeezelite as the former is no longer actively developed and also cannot handle Spotify streams.
 - I found a git clone on the squeezelite site with additions to support building a deb package. Turns out Uplink did this work. How can this be used by Linuxmce?

There are two ways, we can either build the package in house, or host it in a PPA.  I would prefer to build it in house, for precise, and use an ubuntu repo for trusty (if that exists).  We would create the package definition and point it to the lmce repo for precise and the ubuntu repos for trusty, easy enough to do.  Can you point me to the package (URL)?

- To build this deb other packages are required - again not on precise, but available via another PPA, Can these be added with the package manager?

Likely, but we would do that manually for our builders if posde is okay with that, as well as add the proper dependencies and PPA repos to the database for proper installation of package dependencies.  Again, fairly easy.

- Can DTs be copied? or one based on another?

DTs cannot easily be copied.  I would create a new DT with the existing DT open in another window and do it that way.  This is how I regurlarily create new DTs that are similar to others.

I hope that helps, I am happy to do some of the integration work but I don't have a lot of time to test right now.  I'm around next week then off on vacation for 2 weeks.  Let me know if you have other questions!

I've done this by adjusting the script. But this isn't the right way to do it.
Squeezeslave could be replaced by squeezelite or I don't see a reason either why they couldn't co-exist - why did they need to be swapped? can you point me to the discussion in the forum?.

The existing template and script could be extended to run either binary - but that adds additional package dependencies that squeezeslave doesn't require.
Adding Squeezelite to trusty to coexist with squeezeslave, on the surface, looks manageable.
Adding it to precise is that bit harder with the packages not being available from linuxmce/kubuntu repos.

@phenigma - you did a lot of work with the packaging setup and addition of Raspi stuff - can you advise on my initial queries?

Thanks
-Coley.
