Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version
Okay, so this is my OCD coming through, but I would really like to find a kernel reliably initializes the Broadcom 4329/4330 chips on the Wandboards and reboots cleanly. I have built and tested quite a few kernels, either cross-compiled according instructions here, https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/Wandboard#Wandboard-LinuxKernel, or natively compiled using Arch's elegant PKGBUILD / makepkg mechanism e.g., from https://github.com/CrawX/PKGBUILDs/tree/wblinux3.14/core/linux-wandboard. In short, nothing I've tried has been fully reliable: either WLAN needs a cold boot, or with the more recent kernels (3.18 or higher) WLAN comes on about 50% of warm boots for me. I've given up this fool's errand for now :(, but plan to keep on using 3.14.14-1 from CrawX's PKGBUILD until something better comes along. Robert Nelson has told me that "dt-bindings for brcmfmac is still in the bike-shed painting phase," which I take to mean the people are still arguing about how this should be done rather than actually doing it. If someone happens to have more insight on this issue, I'd appreciate hearing about it.:) -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version
Triode,
After a lot of compiling, making of LMS7.9 still fails on the Cubox Pro.
Here is the end of the soa-build-log:

Which is pretty the same in my previous attempt, the build ended with
compiler segmentation fault.
Previously, I did discuss this with the people at Arch, they claimed
that there is no problem with the compiler.
Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for taking that upstream! ;) I'll ping the 3 guys who I know were using the version built with my kludge "interactive" patch and ask them to test with 1.7. (They don't hang around the forum.) Anyway, SC repo builds are now, 1.6.6-4.git8c3eff0 in stable, (built with my old "interactive" patch and -DINTERACTIVE), 1.7.0-2.gita2de5cd in testing, (built from your ir branch with -DIR). I'll do some testing myself with the 1.7-ir tomorrow. Must admit, I've only packaged it, without testing IR functionality, but it plays music, that much I did test. LOL.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)
Any one interested please try "ir" branch on googlecode. This will include basic lirc support for some key commands when built with -DIR in the OPTS variable on Linux only. New option: -i [] Enable lirc remote control support (lirc config file ~/.lircrc used if filename not specified) LIRC .lircrc files should contain entries such as: Code: begin remote = VRC1100 button = KEY_VOLUMEDOWN prog = squeezelite config = voldown repeat = 1 end Where the prog must be "squeezelite" and the config commands allowed are: Code: voldown volup rew fwd pause play power muting power_on power_off It will also work with the standard lirc button names in this list (so you don't need a .lircrc file in this case): Code: KEY_VOLUMEDOWN KEY_VOLUMEUP KEY_PREVIOUS KEY_REWIND KEY_NEXT KEY_FORWARD KEY_PAUSE KEY_PLAY KEY_POWER KEY_MUTE I was originally including more ir codes from the slim remote, but the problem is that they can cause the server to think the player has changed display mode and hence the meaning of the IR press changes So for the moment have restricted to this. I find it works for me with SB3 remote and lircd configuration file from here: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/slim_devices/Squeezebox3 Further instructions on setting up lirc re beyond this post...

Recent discussions show that the whole SOA project, or better, underlying ArchLinuxARM is all but stable. It's really WorkInProgress. I've got problems myself to keep track.

Beside that there have been ARCH gcc compiler and kernel upgrades (on RPI at least). As far as I see it the related changes should cause slightly better system efficiency.

I bet, you'd like to have' em all. ;) As soon as things around SOA stabilize (I let you know) , you'll find a SOA-Tune article on my blog.

Building SoA from there does give me the Update page ;) Currently building LMS7.9, fingers crossed... Of course, I need to mess with visudo to get everything to work. BTW, thanks and Happy New Year!

Yep - I took it out after more people posting that the default volume was lower and one case I had where the volume got stuck at mute. If there is more consensus that we need it then it can be added (or made an option on the update page).

New release available with some relatively minor new features as per the 1.6.6-test image Minor changes - allow player modelname to be set at compile or run time - workaround alsa drivers reporting very large number of available frames - fix clicks on localfile playback of AIFF files - add -P option to store process id in a file - improve error messages for command line parsing Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The update page is only really expected to work if you installed on a target device - afraid you will need to use the update scripts manually if you put things in different places.

Yes full clean will remove all the files which means that to update it needs to download them again and then rebuild just to check if install is needed. Full clean is not recommended unless there is a problem with the installation in some way.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version
Triode, I have a problem with LMS installation on my Cubox Pro. I used the compiled packages from my WB Quad (cpan, lms7.9) and installed them on the Cubox. While I can play music, I found that transcoding and downsampling do not work. For example, if I transcode FLAC to WAV, I can see the process flac briefly launched in the top command screen and then it disappeared. Sox will not even start. server.log file showing "Error: Couldn't create command line for flc playback for [file:///...". This error was logged when it tried to invoke sox. No error was logged with transcoding, since flac was launched successfully. However, the same setup works fine with my WB Quad. Could I be missing a library since I did not compile LMS from scratch on the Cubox? flac and sox commands are available in the same path on the Cubox as on the WB Quad. Any help is appreciated.
