SOLVED! Re: FM Radio broken after re-flash

2008-06-11 Thread Tony Green
Trying a few more ideas this afternoon and I've solved this problem.

For the record, in case anybody else hits this problem, for some reason 
the "user" user wasn't in the audio group. After I added the necessary entry 
in /etc/group it works.

I'm on a standard image (and have never been on anything else). Currently
the latest posted on the site when I reflashed last weekend, I believe
that was OS 2008 51-3.

> -remove mmc/sd/whatever you have in the slot

Will try, I've always had a card in the external slot.  I've reseated and
checked the card, but haven't run without it for extended periods.  My
external card is an 8GB SDHC.

What about the "internal" card?

I'm on an N800, and I don't believe I've changed the format on the
internal card (your statement seems to say I couldn't on an N800 anyway).

Also, you say "mmc".  My internal card is an 8GB SDHC.  It *seems* to
work; but could that be a problem?  (I think of "SD" card as the generic
term, so your use of another form makes me think you may mean something
very specific; but that usage may be different in your company, part of
the world, language.)

Ouch.  Because I'm very close to running in the conditions you specify,
and I'm having severe battery life problems (in fact I started this
thread, though you're responding to another person who sounds like he's
having the same problems I am).

> If not then try reintroducing one by one your customisations and verify.

I reflashed last weekend, and have only added OpenSSH and FBREADER since
then.  I could part with OpenSSH easily in the short run.

I'd almost be happy if it turned out to be hardware; though it would be a
pain to carry through getting it fixed.  But I'd feel a lot better about
the state of the software.

FM Radio broken after re-flash

2008-06-11 Thread Tony Green
I had to re-flash my N800 because (I think) the GPE Calendar applet was 
causing it to go into a reboot loop. Since re-flashing and re-installing 
everything, all my apps are working except the FM radio. Initially it was 
complaining about being unable to access /dev/radio0, which is owned by root 
and only accessible to users in the video group, but this seems to have been 
fixed by purging the package and re-installing it, but I'm still getting no 
sound out of it. Audio works fine from other apps, such as the media player.

Running /usr/bin/fmradio from the command-line gets the following output:

snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - dbus call force_loudspeaker_off 
sucsess
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied
fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - Set volume failed
snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied

Suggesting something to do with snd_hctl, which I can find no reference to on 
the Maemo site (amazingly, Google only returns a single entry for snd_hctl!)

Any suggestions gratefully received - it's not an app I use every day, but 
it's very useful at times...
