The soruces are there when I run apt-get Code: Hit http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/universe Packages - hexland - 2009-07-03 Check msg's #5 and #6 - Tainted - 2009-07-03 hexland Wrote:Check msg's #5 and #6 Ahh cheers.. should have read the whole thread before commenting. - poserdonut - 2009-07-03 poserdonut Wrote:Damn, I got home and hooked in my HFX Vista Remote GP and it doesn't work out of the box. Not a single button works actually, so now I'm trying to figure out what's my first step. I installed lirc and now it works. Could need some button remapping but that's just for my personal taste. - xoxox - 2009-07-03 Thx for your work. With XBMC Live on the revo, the fans runs at top speed. Is there any difference in this minimal Ubuntu? (i think no, but hope dies last) - Pete_London - 2009-07-03 My fans don't audibly run with this install or the Live version..... check your BIOS settings... - Pete_London - 2009-07-03 I've posted the typo fixes and a few bits about memory.... keep the suggestions coming.. Pete - burgemaster - 2009-07-04 Pete do your menu sounds work? Can you turn on the Revo somehow from the remote? Can it hibernate on its own and then be brought awake again with remote? Thanks mate - Hannes The Hun - 2009-07-04 burgemaster Wrote:Pete do your menu sounds work? I'm not pete but I have a revo a) no XBMC sounds via HDMI. problem was adressed before, somebody claimed to get them working via a customized asound.rc but never tried that out b) when it's completely shut down, no way c) standby and wakeup works with my dinovo mini BT remote, using the provided dongle and no special lirc stuff or anything else. even the media keys work now - poserdonut - 2009-07-04 pat1975 Wrote:@Hannes the hun: This is my xorg.conf (thx to haggy) which is running very good on my Zotac ION. I copied these settings and that got me 24hz on my sharp x20. However I watched a 720 mkv movie and there were occasions of stuttering. I wasn't in high bitrate sequences and the cpu load was fine, could this be because I didn't have sync audio to display activated? - Pete_London - 2009-07-05 I'm going to be playing with my Revo quite a bit today unless it gets really sunny so will be looking at some issues raised. Another thing I'm going to look at doing is making a backup onto an SD card in case the whole thing goes wonky. This will probably be as simple as booting from an Ubuntu Live CD or USB key and issuing a 'dd if of' command.

Pete - vikjon0 - 2009-07-05 I beleive you can. http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html Quote: At the command line, you simply run "sudo remastersys backup" to make a full system backup, or "sudo su" to become root and then run "remastersys dist" to make a distributable copy to share with friends. I is a great tool, it is not only backup, you can create a liveCD or distro as well. I got stuck on Live USB persistence, but at least part of that problem was due to a bug in Ubuntu 8.0.4.2 /Casper that is fixed in 8.0.4.3. - Pete_London - 2009-07-05 I've had it make a bootable image of the drive... but really want it to make a boot menu with an install option..... it says it can but I haven't worked it out yet. |
