IRC log of #cubox of Mon 30 Jul 2012. All times are in CEST < Back to index

01:38 rmull My cubox isn't assigning my USB mouse an address (error -71) when I plug it in. All kernel support for mouse, event interface, HID, etc is all there. How can I diagnose this problem further? Mouse works on my other linux machine with no issue.
01:39 rmull Assuming the kernel is okay, is there anything else I can do to figure out why the error is ocurring? I've tried using the mouse as the only USB device
01:40 cbxbiker61 if there's a string with that error code...
01:41 cbxbiker61 get the kernel source you're using
01:41 cbxbiker61 find -name '*.c' -exec grep -H "string to find" {} ';'
01:42 cbxbiker61 with kernel source you can figure out just about anything
01:52 rmull cbxbiker61: I'll check
01:55 rmull Hmm, looks like there have been some git updates
02:13 rmull I get a segfault when I manually load usbcore
02:13 rmull or... something. A backtrace shows up in my dmesg
02:13 rmull I'll try the new kernel sources and try again.
08:13 cbxbiker61 yeehaw, i finally have tvheadend working well on cubox, i'll release a new version of Xbmc for Xilka real soon
08:14 cbxbiker61 i'm watching the olympics on cubox
08:24 KaZeR_W cbxbiker61, congrats :)
08:25 KaZeR_W cbxbiker61, are you using xbmc as a frontend for tvheadend?
08:26 cbxbiker61 yeah, the tvheadend server is running on another machine
08:26 cbxbiker61 my tvheadend server is serving 4 tuners
08:32 KaZeR_W nice. are you satisfied with tvheadend? i'm currently using vdr, but i have some problems with recordings. are you able to pause the live tv?
08:34 cbxbiker61 no, pause doesn't seem to be available, but i'm sure it could be added
08:39 KaZeR_W ok good to know
08:40 KaZeR_W are you able to schedule recordings from xbmc? and does it work correctly?
08:42 cbxbiker61 instant recording works fine, unfortunately I don't have scheduling information to work with at this point
08:42 cbxbiker61 they've only been doing digital broadcasting for about 3-4 weeks here now, and the scheduling source don't have proper info
08:49 KaZeR_W ah ok. you're from norway, is that correct?
08:50 adieu_ cbxbiker61: I'm testing xilkax now. Audio output through hdmi is not working for me. Any advice?
08:51 cbxbiker61 no, i'm in the us
08:51 cbxbiker61 adieu_, you can't do passthrough yet
08:52 KaZeR_W ah ok cbxbiker61. what scheduling source are you using?
08:54 cbxbiker61 can't remember off the top of my head, but it's $25 a year for north america, uses tv_grab_na_dd
08:54 adieu_ cbxbiker61: My cubox and tv are connected through one hdmi cable. I used to get the audio output working with xilka. But no audio output for xilkaX. I think there might be a problem with the setting.
08:55 cbxbiker61 i already told them their schedules don't reflect my location
08:55 cbxbiker61 adieu_, did you change any audio settings in xbmc?
08:56 cbxbiker61 the default settings should work
08:56 adieu_ the default setting is analog. i changed it to hdmi. that's all.
08:56 cbxbiker61 no, don't change that, the analog is routed through hdmi
08:57 adieu_ and i changed the setting when there is no sound for the default setting. let me try change it back to the default one.
08:57 cbxbiker61 we'll use hdmi when I get pass-through working
08:57 cbxbiker61 you can always test basic audio functionality with paplay or aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
08:58 cbxbiker61 also don't forget to turn the volume up on the tv, hehe, sometimes it's that simple
09:06 adieu_ still no luck with the default setting. and i could not find /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav. maybe I got the wrong package file?
09:07 cbxbiker61 whats "xip list AlsaLib" say?
09:07 cbxbiker61 sorry that's in AlsaUtils
09:08 adieu_ nothing. I'll try redownload the package from the url in the forum. I used to download from the url in irc.
09:08 cbxbiker61 pretty much any .wav should work, find / -name '*.wav'
09:09 adieu_ AlsaLib is there AlsaLib/1.0.25/armv7l
09:09 cbxbiker61 yeah, i didn't include AlsaUtil
09:10 cbxbiker61 i may have to add that for troubleshooting purposes, although i'm trying to keep it as light as possible
09:11 adieu_ there is a wave file from xbmc. I play it. but no sound output from the tv. strange.
09:12 cbxbiker61 ps aux | grep pulseaudio
09:12 cbxbiker61 also
09:12 cbxbiker61 systemctl
09:12 cbxbiker61 check for any services that failed to start
09:12 cbxbiker61 journalctl
09:13 cbxbiker61 to look for any errors
09:13 adieu_ pulseaudio is there. I'll check the logs.
09:14 cbxbiker61 you may need to restart xbmc after audio changes
09:14 cbxbiker61 "sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target; sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target"
09:16 adieu_ Activated service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' failed: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Permission denied
09:17 adieu_ maybe this is the problem
09:17 cbxbiker61 probably
09:17 cbxbiker61 ls -l /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper 1
09:17 adieu_ Jul 30 00:46:59 xilka.example.net pulseaudio[1068]: [pulseaudio] module-gconf.c: Unable to read or parse data from client.
09:17 adieu_ Jul 30 00:46:59 xilka.example.net pulseaudio[1068]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-gconf" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
09:17 adieu_ Jul 30 00:47:00 xilka.example.net pulseaudio[1068]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
09:18 cbxbiker61 if you're using standard xilka, dbus-daemon-launch-helper has the wrong attributes
09:18 cbxbiker61 it's mentioned in the wike
09:18 cbxbiker61 wiki
09:19 cbxbiker61 grep message /etc/group 127
09:19 adieu_ yes, i could remember that. but I have switched to xilkax.
09:19 cbxbiker61 messagebus::81:
09:20 cbxbiker61 make sure messagebus is in the group file as 81
09:20 adieu_ messagebus::81:
09:21 cbxbiker61 then do the chmod mentioned in the wiki
09:21 adieu_ ok
09:21 cbxbiker61 chown then chmod
09:21 cbxbiker61 were you root when you extracted?
09:22 adieu_ i did sudo -s. so i should be root?
09:23 adieu_ but i'm doing it on a ubuntu machine. maybe that's the problem.
09:23 cbxbiker61 i'm guessing that your host system has the messagebus group as gid 105, that's probably the problem
09:23 cbxbiker61 rabeeh
09:23 cbxbiker61 rabeeh's making a usb based installer for XilkaX, that'll remove some of the problems
09:24 adieu_ i just checked. it's 105.
09:25 cbxbiker61 i'll have to check tar and see if there's an option to use gid's on extract rather than group names
09:33 MMlosh cbxbiker61, sure there is --numeric-owner
09:33 MMlosh always use numbers for user/group names
09:42 cbxbiker61 yeah, i'll add that to the wiki
10:09 adieu_ cbxbiker61: I got the sound working. I just forgot the download and extract the kernel modules. After fixing the dbus error and kernel module error. The sound is working properly.
10:24 dbsx rabeeh, the 3.5 kernel SPI flash access works really well, I do not know if anyone else has tested it
11:40 marcus09 hallo from germany. does anyone use the spdif port? what kind of cable do you use? the standard ones does not fit, now it is working with a filed off cable, but i am not really glad with this solution.
12:07 MMlosh I haven tried yet, no device with spdif in around
12:08 MMlosh it looks just like the spdif out ports on other devices, can you tell which part of the connector does not fit?
12:09 MMlosh is it the connector, itself, or the hole in the black case? (I have no clue, just guessing)
12:16 marcus09 it is the hole in the metal case inside, i had to file off the cable to get it smaller
12:25 marcus09 @rabeeh or someone else from solidrun: which spdif cable do you use? yours should be fitting properly, isn't it?
12:28 cmair marcus09: I use the cheapest cable from amazon marketplace.
12:29 cmair It is really thin, so don't bend it to much, but it works great. It was a few € for 5m.
12:30 marcus09 link please :-)
12:34 cmair http://amzn.to/N6AtN1
13:05 MMlosh marcus09, I know that USB holes are quite narrow, my "superthin" flashdrive just can't squeeze through, because it's a bit wider than usual, but usb connectors do not care
15:08 oinsadiuf2 rabeeh: Have you seen https://gist.github.com/3158055 ? There is more about it in the forum

21:35 dv505 tomlohave, I'm testing your geeXbox image, but run into some issues
21:35 dv505 some services fail to start, amongst other network, xorg, and xbmc
22:19 tomlohave @dv505 : you use a tv that support 1080p ?
22:25 dv505 tomlohave: yes, and manually I can start Xorg and XBMC
22:26 tomlohave hum
22:26 tomlohave do you have service automounter-nfs enable ?
22:26 tomlohave i don't remember if i add it in this one :-(
22:26 dv505 only errors I could spot, modules autofs4 and ipv6 missing
22:27 tomlohave try this :
22:27 tomlohave systemctl stop automounter-nfs.service
22:27 tomlohave systemctl stop automounter-smb.service
22:28 dv505 both give the error that they are not loaded
22:29 tomlohave well
22:29 tomlohave systemctl stop connman.service
22:29 dv505 that one I can stop without an error
22:30 tomlohave and xbmc does not start
22:30 tomlohave ?
22:30 tomlohave did you change something in /etc/network ?
22:30 dv505 no, unless I do systemctl start xbmc.service
22:31 dv505 no, because /etc/network it not created/does not exist
22:31 dv505 there is a FAIL when trying to run systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
22:32 tomlohave ok, this one i know why, but it's not here the problem
22:33 tomlohave systemctl stop network.service
22:35 dv505 mm, that file does not exist. strange
22:35 tomlohave you don't have /etc/network file ?
22:35 dv505 no
22:36 tomlohave this file is present on my archive ...
22:37 dv505 I'll download and extract again
22:37 tomlohave so you should have it
22:37 tomlohave hum i will upload an new tarball
22:38 tomlohave but anyway found i can't play big-buck-bunny
22:38 tomlohave 720p works not 1080p i guess , need to confirm with another video
22:42 tomlohave http://download.openbricks.org/geexbox-flat-devel-20120730-r14886.cubox.tar.bz2
22:42 tomlohave md5sum :f4465014a503899e82026cd6b0625917
22:43 tomlohave wait, i'm uploading it (remains 25 min ... )
22:55 dv505 tried extracting everything again. /etc/network is there, but not network.service
22:56 dv505 thanks for your help for now. I'll try again tomorrow. Off to sleep now
