[09:37] <Bhaal> Hey guys, quick question, should the version of mythtv with ubuntu 10.10 be able to connect with that of 10.04 ?
[09:37] <Bhaal> I am suspecting so, but could be wrong
[10:01] <Bhaal> ahhhh I see the problem
[10:01] <Bhaal> Thanks for the time guys...
[12:15] <rileyp> 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] <rileyp> with regard to myth starting very slow up to a minute to get to starting screen  and live tv crashing
[19:12] <ComradeHaz`> 'lo all. Could someone tell me how to set the default sound device, please?
[19:13] <superm1> it's in the general section of frontend settings
[19:13] <rhpot1991> about 3 pages in I think
[19:19] <ComradeHaz`> Um, I meant for the whole system
[19:19] <ComradeHaz`> so that when myth is set to use default sound devices it uses what I have set system wide as the default
[19:22] <superm1> that depends on if you are running ubuntu or mythbuntu
[19:22] <superm1> on ubuntu the sound system is pulseaudio, which myth can use in a limited fashion
[19:22] <superm1> you should just set the myth sound device as the pulse audio option
[19:23] <superm1> if you are running mythbuntu, then you need to configure it to be ALSA:default
[19:23] <ComradeHaz`> I am using mythbuntu
[19:23] <ComradeHaz`> Yeah, that's what I don;t know how to do.
[19:23] <superm1> if you want to configure it system wide in mythbuntu, you'll need to create an asoundrc file
[19:23] <superm1> in ~/.asoundrc
[19:24] <ComradeHaz`> OK. What do I stick in it?
[19:24] <ComradeHaz`> and for what user?
[19:24] <ComradeHaz`> default user?
[19:24] <superm1> 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] <ComradeHaz`> 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] <Zinn> [www.richersounds.com]
[19:25] <ComradeHaz`> I have tried disabling the onboard sound in bios, but it seems not to allow this for some strange reason.
[19:26] <superm1> ah
[19:26] <superm1> that make sense
[19:26] <superm1> so i might have another solution for you that might be easier then
[19:26] <ComradeHaz`> Shoot!
[19:27] <superm1> take a look at lsmod output, see which sound modules are loaded (They start with snd_)
[19:27] <superm1> likely your onboard is using snd_hda_intel and the usb is using snd_usb_audio or so
[19:27] <superm1> 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] <ComradeHaz`> http://pastebin.com/kG4ttSx2
[19:29] <ComradeHaz`> That about what you expected?
[19:37]  * ComradeHaz` tentatively pokes superm1
[19:38] <mrand> ComradeHaz`: he may be away from the computer right now... so give him a few hours ;-)
[19:38] <mrand> (but that single poke was fine)
[19:46] <superm1> ComradeHaz`, yeah i had to run away for a quick meeting, it's the middle of my work day
[19:46] <superm1> that looks like it's expected
[19:46] <superm1> so you would just want to create a blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d
[19:46] <superm1> you can look at some of the blacklist files in there for examples
[19:46] <ComradeHaz`> I have added 'blacklist snd_hda_intel' to my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file
[19:46] <ComradeHaz`> is that correct?
[19:46] <superm1> yeah i think that's correct
[19:47] <superm1> run sudo update-initramfs -u
[19:47] <superm1> and reboot and it should take effect
[19:47] <ComradeHaz`> A'ight, I'll reboot and see what happens!
[19:47] <ComradeHaz`> Ooh, ok, thanks
[19:55] <ComradeHaz`> oh dear superm1, I seem to have created a  problem :(
[19:55] <ComradeHaz`> On reboot first odd thing was it didn't autologin and start frontend
[19:55] <ComradeHaz`> had to enter password.
[19:56] <ComradeHaz`> second, running alsamixer yields 'cannot open mixer: No such file or directory' :S
[19:59] <ComradeHaz`> ah, scrap that first issue
[20:18] <ComradeHaz`> Hmm, something's not happy :(
[20:40]  * ComradeHaz` thinks he has managed to break things quite nicely
