Okay 2nd time's a charm. Upgraded successfully from r5a12 to r5a16 tonight. Only took about an hour. Here's my config: combined fe/be chaintech 7nif2 Hauppauge PVR-250 (980) onboard audio onboard nvidia/tv out Issues I ran into: Had to reinstall nvidia drivers switch to virtual console & log in as root Code: #install-nvidia<tab> (pick one, there are two. I used the latest)Had to restore my backed up nvidia twinview XF86Config-4 From virtual console: Code: # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.orig # cp /path/to/backup/XF86Config-4.twinview /etc/X11/ # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.twinview /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 # /etc/init.d/gdm restart Had to restore my backed up .nvidia-settings.rc. nvidia-settings has never successfully written the setting for overscan out to file, so I had to hand code that both last time and this time, then set .nvidia-settings-rc to read only so it doesn't get clobbered. Unfortunately the new version of the nvidia drivers has changed the values it uses for overscan, so it wouldn't take mine. I used to have it set to 190. Trial and error revealed that 20 is the right setting with the newer drivers. I hand coded the setting, then removed write permissions from the file. Had to restore backed up themes to /usr/share/mythtv/themes. Advise you only restore missing them directories, as standard themes may have changed/been improved since last version. mythfrontend won't run (I don't think) if it can't find your configured theme. Had to re-enable lirc (hauuppauge remote) solution: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3775 also copied my backed up lircd.conf to /etc/lirc/ btw, find /path/to/lircd with: Code: which lircd
Had to fix ivtv solution: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4325&sid=c56189ef4d7055fde1b57aae35c3e9d0 Audio didn't work: Solution: Followed jacanlas's suggetions on pg 2: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4325&sid=c56189ef4d7055fde1b57aae35c3e9d0 Also there appears to be a bug in this version of the alsa drivers that prevents you from adjusting master & pcm volume: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4568&highlight=audio I didn't follow these instructions though. My audio is kind of quiet, but I can live with it until the next version, I think. I think that's about it. that's not necessarily the order I did things in--I solved problems in the order I encountered them. But this seems like a fairly logical order to address them in if I had to do it again. I also recommend a reboot after each major change to ensure your change survives across reboots. I found lircd wasn't running at boot because I had done something wrong. Better to do it after each change than test it all at once. |

I think the "bug" you are referring to in this version of alsa is actually just the way it works now. The MythTV documentation talks about it here: http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.2 Basically you just need to use alsamixer -V all if you are using an alsa version 1.0.6 or higher. |

Okay, probably so. I just know the discussion thread was about a bug and they seemd to resolve the issue be downloading the lastest version and recompiling. I didn't really explore it further since it was working "good enough" for me. |
