=== totalanni is now known as _totalann [09:37] Hey guys, quick question, should the version of mythtv with ubuntu 10.10 be able to connect with that of 10.04 ? [09:37] I am suspecting so, but could be wrong [10:01] ahhhh I see the problem [10:01] Thanks for the time guys... === Daviey- is now known as Daviey === croppa_ is now known as croppa === martin__ is now known as mqv [12:15] If do a backup of my current system and then dump the db and then a full restore could this possibly fix any issues I'm having [12:16] with regard to myth starting very slow up to a minute to get to starting screen and live tv crashing === dewman is now known as jesus === jesus is now known as dewman [19:12] 'lo all. Could someone tell me how to set the default sound device, please? [19:13] it's in the general section of frontend settings [19:13] about 3 pages in I think [19:19] Um, I meant for the whole system [19:19] so that when myth is set to use default sound devices it uses what I have set system wide as the default [19:22] that depends on if you are running ubuntu or mythbuntu [19:22] on ubuntu the sound system is pulseaudio, which myth can use in a limited fashion [19:22] you should just set the myth sound device as the pulse audio option [19:23] if you are running mythbuntu, then you need to configure it to be ALSA:default [19:23] I am using mythbuntu [19:23] Yeah, that's what I don;t know how to do. [19:23] if you want to configure it system wide in mythbuntu, you'll need to create an asoundrc file [19:23] in ~/.asoundrc [19:24] OK. What do I stick in it? [19:24] and for what user? [19:24] default user? [19:24] before you create this though, lets try to understand why you are wanting to do this to make sure it's the best solution though [19:25] I have just bought an external USB sound device http://www.richersounds.com/product/cd-players-recorders-dacs-cassette-decks/cambridge-audio/dacmagic/camb-dacmagic-08-sil that I want to use instead of the onboard audio device [19:25] [www.richersounds.com] [19:25] I have tried disabling the onboard sound in bios, but it seems not to allow this for some strange reason. [19:26] ah [19:26] that make sense [19:26] so i might have another solution for you that might be easier then [19:26] Shoot! [19:27] take a look at lsmod output, see which sound modules are loaded (They start with snd_) [19:27] likely your onboard is using snd_hda_intel and the usb is using snd_usb_audio or so [19:27] if that's the case, you can create a blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d that blocks the onboard audio support from loading [19:29] http://pastebin.com/kG4ttSx2 [19:29] That about what you expected? [19:37] * ComradeHaz` tentatively pokes superm1 [19:38] ComradeHaz`: he may be away from the computer right now... so give him a few hours ;-) [19:38] (but that single poke was fine) [19:46] ComradeHaz`, yeah i had to run away for a quick meeting, it's the middle of my work day [19:46] that looks like it's expected [19:46] so you would just want to create a blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d [19:46] you can look at some of the blacklist files in there for examples [19:46] I have added 'blacklist snd_hda_intel' to my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file [19:46] is that correct? [19:46] yeah i think that's correct [19:47] run sudo update-initramfs -u [19:47] and reboot and it should take effect [19:47] A'ight, I'll reboot and see what happens! [19:47] Ooh, ok, thanks [19:55] oh dear superm1, I seem to have created a problem :( [19:55] On reboot first odd thing was it didn't autologin and start frontend [19:55] had to enter password. [19:56] second, running alsamixer yields 'cannot open mixer: No such file or directory' :S [19:59] ah, scrap that first issue [20:18] Hmm, something's not happy :( [20:40] * ComradeHaz` thinks he has managed to break things quite nicely
