[10:31] <BrianHechinger[m> Oh, I see what the issue is. This thumb drive has the EFI directory but it's an iso9660 FS. I think UEFI can only read that if it's fat?
[11:44] <BrianHechinger[m> Ugh. Startup Disk Creator. D'Oh!
[11:44]  * BrianHechinger[m facepalms
[11:45] <BrianHechinger[m> but, I can't do ffado with the live image, can I? I'll need to actually install to the thumb drive?
[16:06] <Eickmeyer> BrianHechinger[m: ffado is installed on the live image.
[16:08] <BrianHechinger[m> It didn't show up as a choice in studio controls to switch to it from alsa
[16:08] <BrianHechinger[m> but, don't you need to reboot with that enabled anyway?
[19:59] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: It depends on if the alsa-fireworks module actually loads. If it fails as it does here, just switch in controls and then restart jack with the firewire backend enabled.
[20:00] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: if the alsa fireworks module does actually load, it should still be possible to unload it manually.
[20:04] <BrianHechinger[m> so it the alsa-fireworks module loads that would cause studio controls to not give the firewire backend option and I need to unload it first?
[20:05] <OvenWerks> yes
[20:05] <OvenWerks> modprobe -r I think and it probably called snd-fireworks or something like that
[20:06] <OvenWerks> (alsa uses snd for it's module names)
[20:06] <OvenWerks> use lsmod for a list of currently loaded modules
[20:07] <OvenWerks> you may wish to use lsmod |grep snd for less screen clutter
[20:07] <OvenWerks> well a little less :P
[20:21] <BrianHechinger[m> Ok, i'll try that when I have the time to reboot.
[20:34] <BrianHechinger[m> Which is now!
[20:41] <BrianHechinger[m> `modprobe: FATAL: Module snd_fireworks is in use.`
[20:53] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: modprobe -r snd_fireworks?
[20:55] <OvenWerks> BrianHechinger[m: you may need to do a modprobe --show-depends and rremove all of them
[20:56] <OvenWerks> I don't know if a -f works with -r or not
[20:57] <OvenWerks> rmmod does have a -f option but says it may crash your kernel.
[22:21] <BrianHechinger[m> It may not be able to be unloaded. A lot of hardware modules can't be unloaded after they've attached to the hardware. I know that's a thing with doing pci passthrough with Nvidia cards. You need to blacklist nouveau or you can't pass the card.
[22:22] <OvenWerks> So in that case you need to the blacklist file in the compressed file system :(
[22:23] <OvenWerks> you could install the iso to another usb stick and run that ...
[22:23] <OvenWerks> This is getting to be a lot fo work.
[22:24] <BrianHechinger[m> Yeah, I'll just wait till I have a spare drive. Booting from USB makes this painful to keep doing.
[22:24] <OvenWerks>  :)
[22:27] <BrianHechinger[m> There is a second m.2 slot on my motherboard so I'm going to replace the SATA SSD that has Windows with an NVMe drive. The SATA drive will go in another system but that system won't be built for a while so that's perfect timing. 😜
