Thanks
 We would like to make a copy of Our databases I have not been able to 
to that also
I was thinking about installing PhPmyadmin. But I really don't what to 
add alot of stuff to the server to bog it down. Do you have a solution 
for Making a copy of the databases and The Var/snd directories

We use rsync to sync the /var/snd directories in our servers. Syncing
the databases is a little more complicated. If you have the network
bandwidth, running a single primary database would be best. Make all
they quires to that database. You can do a daily snapshot of the
database to keep the standby database server mostly up to date in case
of a complete network failure. Also, since Fred implemented keeping a
checksum of the audio files in the database, I'd run a periodic
consistency check to make sure there hasn't been any corruption in the
audio files.

There are a couple ways to set up the firewalls with respect to
network traffic that isn't between VPN connected sites. One is to
allow each site access to the Internet for non-associated sites and
only run the site to site traffic over the VPN. That gives sites the
fastest access to non-associated Internet sites. The other way is to
send all the traffic of a subsidiary site back to the main site before
it goes out on the Internet to non-associated sites. That is a choice
that is made for various reasons. The main site might have better
restriction controls for Internet access. Their may be a concern about
an attack that traffic analysis would play a part in. You can exercise
QOS based prioritization if all the traffic going to and from a site
is kept within the VPN. Traffic presented to the public Internet
doesn't carry QOS so incoming traffic could delay database responses
or any live audio you might be transporting.

 There are very good reasons for making backups.

 What I would do now, if I was you, is to remove the new super-whiz-bang
 and go back to the barely-adequate.
 Make it work, then copy the configs to a safe place.

Yes, I did sudo rdalsaconfig, and the asound.conf file in /etc is empty..

And when it exits, it says...

And I ran it as sudo from the /etc/ directory...

Re: [RDD] Still no sound from soundcard after video card swap

2018-02-28 Thread Andy Higginson
Sorry if this is wrong.  Just a few musings over this.



1) Could you please do an aplay -l for us.

2) (this may be wrong), Rivendell does not run under the logged in user but 
under the rivendell user.  Therefore if something is under your home directory, 
it is not a system wide thing (didn't quite come out right - brain is tired).  
Therefore, you need to be running with the asound.conf file in /etc.  Have you 
tried running rdalsaconfig as a sudo user?



Probably totally the wrong direction but with a shot.
