Re: Ubuntu backlight control

Try adding this to you rc.local:

Code: Select all

setterm -powersave on
setterm -powerdown 1
setterm -blank 1
for a one minute timeout. setterm cannot be issued remotely.

Re: Ubuntu backlight control

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC

You just need to edit: ~/.squeezeplay/userpath/settings/DesktopJive.lua with a text editor (nano/vi). Your dac is limited to 24/96 on the usb, so the patches aren't necessary. Do this with some sort of ssh client (putty?) - I believe you will have to install the ssh server via one of the menus in s...

Try this version of jive_alsa. Put it in:

Code: Select all

/opt/squeezeplay/bin

Re: SqueezePlay for Joggler (Native, Ubuntu & sqpOS)

Hi folks I have Squeezeplay OS (latest version, 1.53) running on my Joggler, connected to my music via LMS running on a Pi. Sound is output to a USB DAC using the EDO patch. Sometimes for no apparent reason the sound will cut out and I have to relaunch Squeezeplay for it to start again. Sometimes i...

Re: SqueezePlay for Joggler (Native, Ubuntu & sqpOS)

I think was a bit overly defensive in my last post. Like you say, it would be good to seperate the two concerns, but it seems like it is replacing one implementation (the Logitech approach) with another, which doesn't provide all of the orginal features. Also, as it was never adopted, It turned into...

Re: SqueezePlay for Joggler (Native, Ubuntu & sqpOS)

Having power saving functionality in the screensaver was a Logitech design decision. The patch simply brought about the expected behaviour in the "Screen Off" screensaver - previously it behaved exactly the same as the "None" screensaver. It also unified the interface for backlig...

Ok. I know next to nothing and I hope you don't feel insulted by my basic questions... Not insulted at all! Thanks for your reply. I've been experimenting tonight, along with a bit of phone support from a more computer-literate friend and lots and lots of Googling. (I'm not bad on computers, but th...

This might be in the third line of /boot/grub.cfg after "quiet" but hey.... I know very little (nothing?) about these things and this is pure guesswork. Best wait for somebody who really knows what they are doing with Linux and have an idea as to how this whole thing has been put together....

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC

I'd investigate these errors:

Code: Select all

usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 3-2: device not accepting address 5, error -71
Could be a kernel bug or the fact that usb device is being left in weird state due to the power cycle.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC

Thats my bad. The pyusb implementation in the ubuntu 10.04 repositories is too old (sqpos is based on ubuntu 10.04). If you enable this repository : https://launchpad.net/~gekkio/+archive/pyusb?field.series_filter=lucid sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt...

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC

what is the output of :

Code: Select all

ls /proc/asound
when its working/not working?

If you can run the reset_usb.py script when you would normally unplug, that will give a good indictation of whether or not it will help pre start up.

Re: 24/96 Squeezeplay and External USB DAC

Relaunching the squeezeplay didn't work for me. I still get the message "Dac not connected". Adding a delay in .xinitrc didn't work as well. @Wilberforce Could be a bug related to sounds card name (as shown in brackets in the output of /proc/asound/cards). What do you exactly mean? Could ...

I was using the path you gave. I think it should be something like (note the caps): /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/youtube but do: ls /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins to check what is in that directory - you should see youtube in the output.
