[10:01] <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??
[10:03] <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?
[10:08] <Shadow__X> disable the screen saver
[10:08] <Shadow__X> and make sure all the energy stuff for screen blanking is disabled
[10:13] <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.
[10:14] <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?
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <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.
[10:19] <Shadow__X> jarle: it says to disable auto mute mode
[10:20] <jarle> I've been using regular ubuntu for this fronted before, but decided to try mythbuntu this time.
[10:22] <jarle> Shadow__X: I don't think I have Auto-Mute Mode in my alsamixer.
[10:23] <Shadow__X> did you run asla mixer in terminal?
[10:23] <jarle> Shadow__X: yes, and the option is not there.
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <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
[10:30] <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
[10:33] <jarle> Shadow__X: yes, I'll try changing the sound card if my spdif still comes up muted :)
[10:38] <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
[10:47] <SteveGoodey> jarle: Screen blanking. I added xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
