CentOS 5 :: Create Channels To Sync Yum Repos And Smart Channels?
Jun 24, 2010
I've installed RPMforge and Smart Package Manager.
I had to create my own Centos 5.5 channels to sync yum repos and smart channels.
Here's the Centos 5.5 channel file for Smart:
Just shut Smart PM down, copy this file into /etc/smart/channels, and restart smart.
Smart should then detect the new channels (repos) for Centos 5.5
Update your channels in Smart, and you should then have yum repos and smart channels both in sync, looking at the same set of packages.
Copy this to CentOS-Base.channel, and add it to the /etc/smart/channels directory.
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
I use Kaffeine Version 1.0-pre2 and xine 0.99.6 on Fedora 12 64-bit. If I try to watch HD-channels (such as Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, arte HD), there is no sound (or just a few seconds). I read some times, that setting the audio buffer to 750 and the video buffer to 1000 should solve the problem
I had a look at No TV in Kaffeine, but I'm lost. I have an HDTV wonder card. I have installed dvb, ffmpeg, w32-codecs, etc. I am able to watch video/hear audio.
I have updated the scan data in kaffeine, adjusted device 1 tab to my area, but when I open the channels window and scan, it just goes through the motions and lists nothing. Here i partial output from:
randolph@linux-jooj:~> scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB scanning /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' >>> tune to: 57000000:8VSB WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
KMix 4.6.0 in OpenSUSE 11.4 (x86) doesn't show up channels. It only shows "Internal sound Analog stereo" So I can't set the input/output channels and the headphone channel for my soundcard. The right soundcard drivers are installed (for Creative Sound Blaster Platinum Live Drive). Earlier versions of KMix worked just fine.
I am setting up a MythTV environment to switch from Windows based MediaPortal (with a high number of disturbing bugs). Yet, I have three difficulties, which I want to discuss with you. They are:
- No audio via HDMI [URL] - Video resolution seems to change during video playback [URL] - Channels cannot be found via DVB-S
As you can see, I have created three posts to keep discussions focused.
Alltogether I have the following setup:
- AMD 5050e CPU - 8 GByte RAM - Biostar TA890GXE - Samsung LE40M86BD, connected via HDMI (and only HDMI) - Mythbuntu 10.10 with proprietary drivers installed - Technisat Skystar HD2 DVB-S card (two times)
Now, here is the problem:
when I try to scan for any available satellite channels to use in Myth, I cannot find any channels. I have invoked "scan -V -l UNIVERSAL -s 1 -a 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E" with the following result:
Code: scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 12551500 V 22000000 5 >>> tune to: 12551:v:1:22000
I have a Yuan/Avermedia MC770 mini PCI hybrid card. When I installed ubuntu 11.04 for the first time it found an update for it automatically which I was quite happy about. I installed Me TV and thought so far it was all going quite well. connected it to a roof top aerial and it wouldn't find any channels what so ever Has ubuntu really found and installed the correct drivers? I tried VLC and Media player no result.
Only my 'front' sound output is working. No 'rear', 'side', or 'center'. And alsamixer only shows 'Master' 'PCM' & 'Capture' It's the onboard sound on a Asus M4A89TD PRO USB3 motherboard.
Here is my alsa-base.conf; # autoloader aliases install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1 install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2
Right now I'm trying to get MythTV to bring in my channels. I can see all the channels when I use the Watch TV feature on the frontend, but in the backend I can't get it to work.
In the input COnnections>Television section, I am set up for Schedules Direct. My "Scan for Channels" button is disabled, so I can't use that. However, the "Fetch Channels" button, though enabled does nothing. It doesn't depress when I select it or anything. I can't figure out why. I know my username and password are entered correctly, so I'm drawing a blank.
My video source setup is also set with SD.
I have an Analog V4L capture card selected in the capture cards section. It's a AVI TV Wonder Pro (an old card, but free). It seems to be set up correctly since I can "Watch TV" with it.
In the channel editor, I also do not have the option to do a channel scan. It skips right over that button.
i installed Ubuntu 9.10 and it seems i can't have 5.1 sound playing, i've searched a lot but i still haven't found a solution to my problem. tried to change the default channels from 2 to 6, as well as the default-channel-map and much more but still nothing works..
I have installed mythbuntu 10.04 and installed my tv tuner (saa7130). I can play games on composite but cannot scan for tv cannels. how i can scan for channels because he cannot find a single channel (I think this is weird) ?
I am trying to configure my Kubuntu desktop since some time to have Mumble working perfectly... It was running in the past, i re-installed some days ago and now i have a huge problem. Basically, capturing the microphone works and it's sent to Mumble, however everybody also hears my desktop sound. I tried adjusting channels in KMix with no luck. Also i don't understand why the capture channels are enabled and must stay at minimum volume...
I'm running a standard 10.04 install with Gnome, but wanted to try out KDE 4.5 since it just came out. Now I installed KDE through the normal software channels and this installed 4.4.5. The question is how do I now upgrade to 4.5 as it appears 4.5 isn't in the stable ubuntu update channels?
I have recently downloaded the XChat IRC program, and I want to add a network, server and channel. However, I'm not entirely sure which goes where. I have made numerous attempts but all have shown the message that it could not be connected to and that I should make sure I spelled it correctly (which I have). If anyone could help me find the proper fields to put the information into, I would be very grateful. Here is all the information I can find on the matter:
I can't get respond through normal channels, all I can use is my phone. My keyboard is disabled. My PC is pretty much a paper weight. Both of them. The only way they could be getting in is through the wifi. I don't know if there is anything I can do. My recovery programsare not accessible. Even onstartup. Is it possible to clear the hard drive another way? I've heard fire purifies, I couldn't get another disc to boot up to reinstall ubuntu. Please text me any ideas, but please be specific with command lines, I have trouble with all the () and / [ and where they go.
I was asking around in some IRC channels earlier trying to develop some thoughts on how NFS is better than CIFS. I set up a FreeNAS file server, and that's where all of my data now resides on a pair of raided drives. That way my main desktop, which is kind of a power hog gaming rig, can be powered off since I pretty much live on my laptop now. Anyway, I began to tinker with CIFS and NFS. Since some family members in the household use Windows, I definitely need CIFS. But I wanted to bounce back to NFS too and check it out.
While I do think it's nice I don't have to worry about authentication to the NAS box when using NFS, it's still a little scary. Being that it's more of a trust method instead of actual authentication, truthfully all a user needs to get into your data is the path to your NFS share and a matching UID. I mean, am I wrong by saying this? Sure, it may seem like NFS is convenient, but this angle of it is a little scary. I just don't feel like that screams "secure."
On the flip side, you have CIFS, which uses a user authentication level. So I hit my little shortcut to my NAS and it asks me who I am. I log in and bam, I have connection. I can browse other folders on the share, etc. This is convenient because I do have a "public" share on here with a generic user. That way if friends come over and want to transfer something to me, I have them drop it in the public share and I later transfer it accordingly. Since there is a user level authentication, this to me seems a little more secure.
Speed wise I was a little concerned, as some users have said NFS is faster than CIFS. Well, they might be right. But I did a few bench tests here on my laptop, using the same exact share except one with CIFS one with NFS. I stayed in the exact same location and transferred the same 300mb file in each instance.
NFS - 1.7mb/s CIFS - 1.5/mb/s
Not exactly enough to warrant a huge argument over, so I leave that argument along the road to be forgot about since it doesn't really have any bearing on this situation. I like things about both NFS and CIFS. I just want to know why is it "not optimal" to use a full blown CIFS setup even if you're using 100% Linux systems.
I have a strange problem with my sound. The best way to summarize the error is that no two applications can mix their output to the default output channel. When I start my computer, the first application to use to the default sound channel seems to have a lock on the channel. No other applications can use that channel until I reboot again. I can close the first application and still nothing can access that other channel.
When a second application tries to access the default channel one of two things happen. Most application's sound gets routed to the headphone channel. In other cases I get error messages that the device is busy. I suspect that this is a related issue, whenever I use the command line command 'play' I get the following error:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c1008snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave play formats: can't open output file `default': cannot open audio device
Now when I restart the drivers using "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart". All these problems are gone. So this is not a major issue, its just a little annoying. So a little information about my hardware/software:
Motherboard: Asus M3N78-VM (onboard sound) Kernel Version: 2.6.27.23-0.1 Distro: openSuse 11.1 abridged output of /sbin/lspci: =============================== 00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] High Definition Audio (rev a1)
I am running the current Mythdora and using the latest drivers and firmware todate, or at least what is listed on the HVR1600 wiki page. I can't lock on to any channels no matter what with this installation. Shouldn't it work after confirmation of drivers loaded and firmware upadated? Below I have outputed basic information. I did try a previous version of mythdora and it was able to find and lock to channels provided by my cable service, but had a bad driver so I updated everything.
Another person posted that he swaped pci slots with this tuner card and it worked. [URL]I think I am missing something. I also would add I have two coaxial inputs. Analog and Digital. I am currently using the TV one. I also did a cat /dev/video0 > ./Desktop/test.mpg and it was static. Does anyone have some ideas? I am all ears!
It doesn't matter if I set the audio to 5.1 or 7.1, the center and LFE are silent. I had the same problem in 9.10 but I could work around by using the alsamixer to set the center to 90%, quit, then set back to 100%. This doesn't work in 10.04 as the controls in the alsamixer can't be changed. Is there any way I can get the center channel working? All I can do at the moment is set the sound properties to 4.0 so that the center channel is automatically redistributed to the other channels, but that isn't a great solution.
There was 11.2/pulseaudio. Everything worked fine. After some software update channels became misplaced (system considered side channels as a front), pulseaudio stopped working at all and was removed. After upgrade to 11.3 mics stopped working. Current state:
Get_iplayer worked very well for me under opensuse 11.2. After installing opensuse 11.3 it continued to work very well with the exception of STREAMING live BBC channels. These do not work at all. It seems the "modes" I am and have been using are not recognised. I use gnome and installed codecs using codecs_gnome.ymp for suse 11.3. I have no problem with any of the multimedia applications I use.
I am using ubuntu 10.04.I am trying to get 6 channel audio output.When i open alsamixer it does not show controls for multiple channels. I have seen on articles i read that alsamixer shows controls for multiple channels.how to configure 6 channel audio output on ubuntu 10.04.
Quote:As the line between securely hosted and controlled enterprise applications and cloud-based applications continues to blur, there's more "legitimate" traffic between corporate networks and the Internet than ever before. This opens up new vectors for attack by hackers nd cybercriminals as more traffic types are allowed through corporate firewalls. The result is an increase in diversity of covert command and control channels, which hide inside legitimate traffic in order to bypass perimeter security. These C&C channels, used by malware ranging from simple spambots to more sophisticated rootkits, vary in the maliciousness of their intent from casual hacking all the way to advanced persistent threats (APT) and industrial espionage.
If I go to "Alter channel subscriptions" page of a VM, I do not see any channels to subscribe. It just shows "None (Disable service)". On the same time, I'm getting the following errors in Apache error log and rhn_server_xmlrpc.log
I`m using Fedora 11. I just bought a Creative Audigy Soundblaster sound card. It is recognized by the system, but I can`t make it play sound on all channels in xmms or mplayer. The alsa test confirms that all channels are working - I can hear sound from all of them. I have read several posts in other forums about modifying my ./asoundrc, but they just don`t seem to work.
I am using a Sparklan WUBR-505N abgn USB dual band stick for the wireless connection on one of my Fedora 12 laptops. I have an Apple Airport Extreme BaseStation that can advertise a 5GHz connection ie it broadcasts two sids... The network manger only see the 'regular' sid and the usb stick only connects in the 2.4GHZ frequencies. Does the rt2870 driver support the 5GHz frequencies? If so how can I force a 5GHz connection?
I installed the Linksys WMP600N dual band card on my OpenSuSE 11.2 box using the SuSE supplied rt2860 driver. With the 2.4GHz channels this works out of the box. However, I am unable to access the 5GHz channels. iwlist says:
Setting a 5GH channel with iwconfig doesn't work. iwpriv doesn't work either: iwpriv wlan0 set WirelessMode=6 wlan0 no private ioctls.
Changing any settings in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat doesn't seem to have any effect at all. The driver supplied by SuSE is of version 1.8. On the Ralink website a newer driver of version 2.3 is available; but so far I didn't manage to install it because I am not a C expert. However, the 5GHz channels should be accessible by the older 1.8 version driver. Somehow I suspect that in the SuSE distribution some dynamic parameters are hardcoded and therefore the whole thing fails.
I can't get mythtv to play television with my Hauppauge HVR-850 tv card. I was able to view tv in mplayer, so I know that the card is working. The tv signal is broadcast only (no cable). I had to set the card type to DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) to get mythtv-setup to successfully scan. I was able to successfully scan both with a "full scan" and with a channels.conf file that I had generated earlier when tinkering tv in mplayer. Unfortunately, the mythtv frontend failed to play any live tv. It said "Error: MythTV is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings?"
