Folks,
Again many thanks for all the tips and pointers in response to our Arrrgh
post about CentOS/Rivendell and my throwing in the towel with that (at
least until I get much, much more CentOS proficient)
Anyway, I wanted to give an update as to where we are, and also to see if
we can get some pointers with a couple of issues we still have.
Here's what we did:
1) After the main CentOS/Rivendell machine went south (we are not sure
exactly what happened, but RDlibrary and RDairplay were not working
together, and logging into RDadmin was not possible. It looks like either
permissions issues or some sort of corruption of the database may have been
the cause).
-- We implemented a backup machine that has RAAbuntu on it to stay on the
air
-- Got our backup drive with /var/snd/ and verified all the sound files
were the same as on the primary /var/snd
Knowing this, we felt a bit better and went about going forward. Also, we
had a good backup of the MYsql database.
What we did
-- Decided to try Ubuntu 12 LTS with Rivendell packages
-- Also to dry Debian 6.x with Rivendell on another machine just to see if
we could do it and if we liked it.
First thing we decided after installing Ubuntu LTS was that the eye candy
had to go.
-- removed all of that and installed Gnome (amazing how much snappier it
runs)
-- got MYsql database to work
-- able to get VLC to work for us
Our main problem so far:
Getting the Audio Science card to be recognized.
-- downloaded and installed the drivers following instructions we found on
the 'net
-- when we run the hpitest, it fails, Rivendell doesn't see the AS card.
any suggestions / instructions for compiling and getting an AS 5100 series
card (I believe, off the top of my head it's a 5140).
Thanks!
Rene
