| jarle | Having some initial problems with a new Mythbuntu frontend only install: 1. spdif out is muted, so I get no audio. un-muting it using alsamixer and all is fine, but after a restart it is muted again?? | 10:01 |
|---|---|---|
| jarle | 2. After idle'ing for a while the screen goes black, even if I have turned of screen blanking. Moving mouse or using keyboard does not bring it back, but restarting lightdm does. | 10:03 |
| jarle | Any suggestions? | 10:03 |
| Shadow__X | disable the screen saver | 10:08 |
| Shadow__X | and make sure all the energy stuff for screen blanking is disabled | 10:08 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: I have disabled the settings for powersaving in the GUI, but previously I have had better luck editing Xorg.conf manually, might give it a try. | 10:13 |
| Shadow__X | i am not sure whats going on with audio | 10:14 |
| Shadow__X | did you go into the mythtv audio settings and configure things there as well? | 10:14 |
| jarle | Google told me I was not the only one having muted spdif:http://spartanideas.msu.edu/2014/08/14/mythbuntu-the-upgrade-from-hell/ | 10:17 |
| Zinn | jarle: Please watch your language. | 10:17 |
| jarle | :) | 10:17 |
| Shadow__X | hmm i have been using mythbuntu since 8.04 | 10:17 |
| Shadow__X | and have actually upgraded in place since then | 10:18 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: I get sound in mythfrontend as long is the output is not muted by alsa, so I don't think there is much I can configure in mythfrontend. | 10:18 |
| Shadow__X | jarle: it says to disable auto mute mode | 10:19 |
| jarle | I've been using regular ubuntu for this fronted before, but decided to try mythbuntu this time. | 10:20 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: I don't think I have Auto-Mute Mode in my alsamixer. | 10:22 |
| Shadow__X | did you run asla mixer in terminal? | 10:23 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: yes, and the option is not there. | 10:23 |
| Shadow__X | jarle: so the person in the link you posted shows how to fix it | 10:24 |
| jarle | This URL displays how it would have looked if it WAS there: http://superuser.com/questions/431079/how-to-disable-auto-mute-mode | 10:24 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: I see had problems getting his settings to survive a reboot, but I' | 10:25 |
| jarle | ll give it a try.. | 10:25 |
| Shadow__X | problem 4.5 | 10:25 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: I'll try a reebot of the frontend and see where I'm at :) | 10:30 |
| Shadow__X | ok | 10:30 |
| Shadow__X | but it seems like the person did fix their problem by changing options within the frontend | 10:30 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: yes, I'll try changing the sound card if my spdif still comes up muted :) | 10:33 |
| jarle | Shadow__X: Using ALSA:iec958 as driver in myth, instead of ALSA:hw, got me passed the muting problem. Thanks for pointing me in that direction :) | 10:38 |
| Shadow__X | yup no problem | 10:38 |
| Shadow__X | glad its working | 10:38 |
| SteveGoodey | jarle: Screen blanking. I added xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 10:47 |
