General :: Revo 3610 Not Doing HDMI Handshake?
Sep 12, 2010I am having a problem with my Revo 3610 which is connected to my TV via HDMI.
For some reason it will not do the HDMI handshake with the TV, so my TV does not think that there is anything in the HDMIport.
I have tested the TV and it works fine with my laptop and DVD player.
It does work sometimes, but this time it's failed for two days in a row. I've tried rebooting and turning the TV off and on, but nothing helps.
I can trick the TV to listen to the HDMI by connecting with my laptop and then changing the HDMI back to my revo; this results in the image going through nicely but there is a big fat "Check signal cable." message on the screen.
I have also tried changing the resolution in the revo but this does not help either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Acer Revo Internet Access Not
Mar 6, 2010Its been a few years since I gave linux a go but having just bought an acer revo and enjoyed xbmc on myxbox I thought I would give it another go.I downloaded the 64 bit version to usb stick and got to the desktop of the live install.Everything looks great but no internet access over both wireless and ethernet.I'm used to the wireless being detected etc in windows and even though I found what must be the network manager and put in my 64 bit wep code etc it couldn't find my wireless connnection.
I thought then that mabey the preinstall ubuntu doesn't do internet.Just to see if this was the case tried it with the netbook version on this I can get ethernet access but on removing network cable no access at all.I've got an old netgear router which I am replacing soon in case thats the problem.I don't want to install ubuntu unless I can get wireless internet/network access.Being a total linux newb some of the guides I've tried to follow on the net presume I have too much knowledge.So I end up getting lost.I go into wireless connections psecify name of network (SSID ie Wireless) put in the Mac code of my router and the 64bit WEP key. I don't touch the lpv4 and 6 settings as don't know what they do Still no joy
I wonder if anyone out there has a revo 64 bit version of ubuntu working and could help mme find my wireless connection.Just an update I reput the settings into the netowrk manager and it worked although very slow.Is this because its a live install. I'll now try it with ubuntu 64 bit and see if I can get access...I seem to be getting there although very slow
Ubuntu :: WOL On Acer Revo- MAC Address Invalid?
May 30, 2010xbmc 9.11 HTPC (confluence skin) on an acer revo 3610 running ubuntu 9.10 can someone possibly help me as I cannot get WOL to work. Went into BIOS under power management and enabled WOL.I have used this guide to set up. HOWTO: Set your system up for Wake On LAN (WOL my ipconfig is

I deleted this script however as it did nothing and didnt want to have two scripts that might be interfering with each other.How can I check that the magic packs are being received by the computer? I think it has something to do with the MAC address but Im a linux noob and gettng kinda lost now, ANY help would be much appreciated. I also have a another linux computer hooked up on the network to test however I want to WOL via the internet incase I am traveling and need to wake up my htpc. Can anyone please help me as I think I have the scrips installed and Im just not doing something simple like configuring the magic packs correctly to send the information.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Calling All Acer Revo Owners
Feb 27, 2010I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, and have upgraded the NVIDIA drivers to the latest ones from the website (not sure if that's part of the problem). I've got XBMC installed and it seems to be working, but I can't for the life of me get anything but Stereo passed over HDMI, according to my Onkyo 606 amp that is anyway.Can anyone tell me if it's actually possible, or if they've actually managed it, to get surround sound playing over HDMI on an ACER Revo running Karmic?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Acer Revo, Audio Devices Disappeared?
Jul 17, 2010I've just been setting up my new Revo with Ubuntu for use as a HTPC with XBMC etc..
Previously I had audio coming out through HDMI, but now I have lost all devices under the sound settings.
I was using alsa mixer, is there any way of getting this working again? A HTPC without sound is a bit useless!
I can't really say what I've done, as I took a few approaches to it, but I've tried to remove everything so it's back to normal. I think maybe it happened after updating some NVIDIA drivers..

Ubuntu :: Acer Revo 3700 No Sound Through Hdmi
Dec 20, 2010I've just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my recently purchased acer aspire revo 3700. After completing the initial install of ubuntu, running all available critical and recommended updates, and installing and activating the 3rd party driver for the nvidia card I'm having trouble. I am getting good video through the hdmi cable to my sony bravia 32" tv, but no sound (sound works fine in regular tv or xbox use).
I'm relatively inexperienced with linux so I'm not entirely sure what information would be relevant and helpful to assisting me with deciphering this issue, but I will do my best.I've found no proprietary driver for sound through the nvidia ion processor, only one for the graphics arm. I would assume they are sharing a driver, but as its not stated I cannot be sure. The 'additional drivers' control panel calls it the 'NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)' The chip is the nvidia GT218-ION. Settings in sound preferences are high definition audio controller digital stereo (hdmi) selected for output.
results from aplay are:
UR@UR-Acer:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
[code]...
Ultimately nothing so far has worked. I'm not getting any sound from any application or the sound tests in the preferences hardware tab.
Ubuntu :: 11.04 Hangs On Acer Aspire Revo 3700?
May 26, 2011My Acer Aspire Revo 3700 installed fine. I did the commands on this page to prevent the system from hanging on shutdown and reboot, and it went fine.
Against my better judgement, I allowed the system to install a new nvidia driver a couple days ago. Some other stuff was updated as well, so I don't know where to pin the problem.
The Problem: Now, when I shutdown or reboot the system, the system hangs with the Ubuntu logo on screen.
Copy of my dmesg:
Code:

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: AC3 Passthrough Pulse/Alsa/XBMC - Acer Aspire Revo?
Jun 16, 2010Is it possible to install XBMC onto Ubuntu Lucid and still have passthrough audio to a connected receiver (i.e. a workaround with Pulse)? I have an Acer Aspire Revo R1600 connected via HDMI to my Onkyo reciever. I am able to get desktop sounds and play MP3 files from XBMC, but passthrough has been a bear. If I tell Pulse that my sound device is analog, for some reason I can get XBMC to pass through audio. However, I would like to keep system sounds and have the passthrough ability if it's possible. As I understand it (from about two weeks of fidgeting) this is a limitation of Pulse and it's lack of pass through support. It seems so simple. I've tried multiple different .asoundrc configirations none of which have gotten me there. I've upgraded Alsa. I'd rather not run XBMC live if I dont have to. I'd like to have the ability to have a workstation for when I need it. I've upgraded to the latest NVIDIA driver available from their website - 195.36.31.

Mar 11, 2011I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on Acer Revo 3700. After a month of debug sessions and reading the threads in this forum, I still haven't got the audio working on HDMI. Strange thing is that, the HDMI works without any problem on Windows 7 (but alas, the 1080P graphics quality is very poor) The audio output is set to HDMI in the "Sound" settings. The audio is not muted and is set to full volume. I'm using Alsa version 1.0.23 with latest nVidia drivers on Ubuntu I went through the below thread:[URL]but it did not help me either.I've attached most of the command outputs and content of my ~/.asoundrc (as per thread #1670681)
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Upgrade To An Acer Revo R3610 Dual Core Intel Atom 1?
Dec 14, 2010I have a question that has been partially answered in other posts and forums but I am still unclear. Please can someone help me out? I was previously using an Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM and the onboard Intel graphics adaptor for use as a media center PC. This was running Lubuntu and I could use Flash at full screen without any issues.
I have since decided to upgrade to an Acer Revo R3610 (Dual core Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Corsair SSD and Nvidia ION grpahics). I thought that as this machine was more powerful than my previous one, I could get away with ditching Lununtu and go for Ubuntu 10.10 (x86).
I have updated the machine and installed the latest Nvidia drivers. When I browse to a Flash based site all runs fine until I go to full screen then I get about 10FPS (sound remains fine). The video is unwatchable. I rebuilt the machine using Windows 7 Ultimate (x86) and tested again. Under Windows the video plays perfectly.
I have also tried using the 10.2 beta version of Flash under Ubuntu and this gives the same terrible results. I am at a loss as to where the issue lies. Is it with Nvidia's driver, Adobe's Flash under Linux or is it my Ubuntu build?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Acer Aspire Revo R3610 CPU Clock Speed Not Reducing With Low Load On 11.3
Jul 20, 2010I just installed oS11.3 on a new Aspire Revo R3610 which has the Intel Atom 330 chip and Nvidia ION graphics.
I noticed that the CPU is always running at 1600Mhz and doesn't throttle down when there is no load. Do the Atom cpus not throttle down or is there a setting in 11.3 that I can change?
I installed the 64bit of oS 11.3.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: 9.10 On Acer Aspire Revo + NVidia ION LE + XBMC On Vizio L32HDTV - Title Bar And Taskbar Missing
Apr 22, 2010when I connected to the L32 HDTV over the HDMI cable, picture came up, and I thought great, plug & play. But the title bar and taskbar were missing and I soon learned that this cheap Vizio TV has a native resolution of 1366x768 and simply upscales and chops off what it considers "overscan" when you drive it at the proper 720p 1280x720. To add to the problems, it doesn't report the correct EDID modes (look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see the probes or install and use the read-edid package) so 1366x768 isn't an option out of the box. I spent days mucking around with /etc/X11/xorg.conf with custom Modelines, strange options and copying confs from other threads, trying to get it working at 1366x768 or 1360x768 or 1368x768 (some variations seem to work for some people)
In the end, I didn't have to touch xorg.conf at all =) All I had to do was install the newer NVIDIA 195 drivers!!! Then you get the lovely Overscan Compensation slider in nvidia-settings, and all is well. First, you will have to apt-get remove the old drivers (probably -185 or -180). Install apt-show-versions for an easy way to do that. I had a bunch of junk, I just removed all packages that had nvidia-someversionnumber in the package name.

Ubuntu Installation :: Revo Wired Lan Not Working In 10.04?
Jul 7, 2010using an Acer Aspire Revo with a MCP79 nvidia chip. After upgrading to 10.04 and getting a 2wire AT&T dsl modem, the revo wired lan will not work. I have a dell mini 9 and the wire lan works on it. Wireless works on both. reading the Ubuntu manual pages it seems that there is a driver problem, I need nfe driver. The explanation on how to add the driver talked about a loader.conf file. I think that was replaced in 10.04 grub2 with the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file.My question is if I add "if_nfe_load="YES" to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file will it load the necessary driver?

Ubuntu Installation :: Unetbootin Successful - No Boot Option There?
Jan 30, 2010I installed ubuntu on my v13 (SU7300 model, not the ubuntu model) using unetbootin.Installation was successful, but when I restart, the boot loader only gives me the option of starting Windows.I can still use unetbootin until I start windows and uninstall it. After that, if I restart, the only OS option to boot from is Windows.

Ubuntu Installation :: Using UNetbootin To Install Netbook Remix (Lucid) On Toshiba NB205?
Apr 30, 2010I have tried using UNetbootin to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Lucid) on my Toshiba NB205 and am having no luck. Both it and Kubuntu NR will boot from live USB and seemingly install successfully, but when I select the Ubuntu option, it hangs and drops me down to BusyBox with initramfs.
When UNR was distributed as a .img file, I could use Canonical's USB image .exe to prepare the USB drive and it always worked like a charm, but now UNetbootin fails me all too often. I don't really have access to another Ubuntu box to run usb-creator with, so has anyone had any success with any other install method? I am dual booting with Windows 7.
