Users / Lost Sound

« on: October 07, 2012, 05:10:08 pm »

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

Developers / Re: Insteon 2413U

« on: September 25, 2012, 03:07:55 am »

I moved away from the CM15A to insteon to make use of the added functionality. I believe my CM15A was damaged but did not look that hard into it. It was, I believe, a communication problem. It is not serial so it makes it hard to work with. Insteon has serial units like the 2413U and 2413S that are both RF and power line. The unit I have 2413U is plagued with problems, as I found out. This was mostly seen on HomeSeer so I thought I was ok. The units buffer will suddenly stop clearing out and just keeps adding to the buffer and send that nonsense along until it crashes. I found it easy to develop with a lot of good code already written in ruby. It does communicates fine with X10 MS16A of which I have some set up already. I've ordered a 2413S and will see if that works.

Anyone have a problem with this hardware and buffer overrunning?

I've switched from CM15A to insteon and noticed the code has issues with X10. I'm adding patches for my devices and noticed the unit crashing sporadically. I chased it down to the unit not clearing its buffer after sending its string to DCE and just adding it all up. Just want to make sure It's not me. Or not just me. This may be limited to X10 commands.

Ugh..

I knew it was something simple. I hate asking questions as I learn best by looking up the code and trying to figure it out. But I was at wits end here.

Thanks you so much!!

Developers / Ruby Serial Help

« on: September 06, 2012, 03:02:50 am »

Hello,

I'm trying to send information to GSD hardware attached to a COM port in raw byte format.

Like conn_.Send(0x44 0x00 0x01)
So the hardware receives just those bytes. I'm trying to keep this in Ruby but not sure if it will work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

It is plugged into a 2.0/1.1 port now. I don't recall what it was plugged into originally. I have since deleted that device and let it install new in the different port with the same result. I'm experimenting with different machines to see what the results are. As soon as I have the opportunity I'm going to swap the drive out of the new machine and try again. I does appear to be a communication issue.

Thanks for your time!

I installed 10.04 beta an an old machine and the CM15A worked fine!
My thinking is this is a libusb problem. I don't know a lot about this but I think I may look a little deeper here. I will check first for legacy USB compatibility on the newer machine's BIOS. I did try and move the plug around with no luck. What would be really helpful is if I had access to more of the logging in CM15A command software. I have not look at the logger that well and honestly not the best with C++ but from what I can see there should be more but its only logging the problems at the CM15A command level.

Any thoughts?
The old machine, I believe, is an ASUS p4h8 with an Intel P4

Yes it does and they are fairly new, though I don't think they are needed but not sure about that. Interesting that yours does not say "CM15A Clock Set" which I was expecting and all the other logging events.

Any chance of posting your log file? Looking for lines after a reset or reboot. File is /var/log/pluto/<"your device id">_CM15A.log

Thanks

Thanks for responding.

It's good to hear that it works. I was a little concerned as automation control through PLC is an important feature for me.

This narrows things down a bit. Would it be possible to get a copy of a working systems log file? Just the initialization area like I show above.
Looking at the code it looks like it should be logging that the hardware was found and its location or if that operation failed.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to get my CM15A working in LMCE 10.04.

The hardware does work in Active Home Pro.
It installs fine. Looking at the device log I get:

It also fails to send commands.
I'm using now the 8/20 snapshot.
My hardware is asus pc8h77-v le mobo with i5.

A quick look and it appears that it is not initialising. Before I dig much more I thought I would check here to see if someone knows what's going on.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I did try the TAB and only showed "live" as an option. That is what really brought me here. Unetbootin works fine though.

Ok will probably use unetbootin. Not quite ready to switch to 12.04 but good to hear that it has been resolved there.

Thanks for all your hard work!!

Installation issues / 10.04 USB Install Issues

« on: August 24, 2012, 03:26:54 am »

Hello,

I've run into problems using USB stick install. Tried the 10.04 beta and the latest snapshot 8/20. Checked the hash on both and is fine.

Get to;

boot:

When I hit return I get "not a COM 32R image" error. I can usually fix that by typing "help" and return get into menu and hit return again. When I type help here I get "Could not find kernel image : help". Also tried TAB and typing install. Same error. I can get it going with typing "live" but have not completed the install from there. I think this is a syslinux compatibility issue. I creating this in Ubuntu 11.10 using startup disk creator. I am going to try and update the c32 on the stick and see if that works. I've always used the Internet install method in the past but I would like to try the DVD install.

Just bringing this up.
Not sure if anything is/can/or should be done

Thanks
