Ubuntu :: Lirc With Jetway ION2 Chipset - IR Receiver Didn't Work
Jan 27, 2011
I just installed 10.10 on a Jetway HBJC600C99-52W machine. It has the NVIDIA ION2 chipset. Through a lot of struggles, I have managed to get most of the computer working well with Linux. The part that I'm still struggling with is the remote control. With Ubuntu out of the box, perhaps about 1/3 of the buttons are recognized. From additional research, it looks like lirc is supposed to address this issue. I tried installing lirc however, after installation the only thing that shows up is /dev/lircd. I was expecting something like /dev/lirc0. I've tried is via
sudo apt-get install lirc
and then I picked the Windows Media Center receiver
I also tried what was in this thread [URL] however, that seems to be on a different jetway model, an NVIDIA ION chipset instead of an ION2 and the driver install for the IR receiver didn't work for me. I was wondering if anyone had success installing lirc and getting all the keys on their remote working.

My friend has a Linux base receiver and he using that receiver as a server he was asking me if he can remotely access that receiver from another computer and do the work he needs to do and be able to restart the receiver remotely. If you can do it how is it done using win xp.

I'm setting up a gui-less music server so there's no login, and I've tried using mplayer's lirc interface as well as irexec (sending mplayer slave commands to a fifo). But I can't get mplayer to work unless I start either irexec or mplayer from a logged in session. So my S99test is something like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#irexec -d
#OR
#mplayer myfile.mp3
If I use the "mplayer" line, I do hear music at startup, but no lirc control. Yet if I log in and kill the mplayer and rerun S99test as root, all works fine.

I regret updating to 11.04. It broke everything during the update. I cannot get the broadcom wireless chipset to work more than 10 seconds, No matter how much research I do here. I have not been able to work within my GDocs for the last three days. Can I restore back to my 10.10 settings? I have an acer laptop.

I have a Giada Slim-N20 running XBMC-Live 10.1 (Ubuntu v.10.04.1). It is hooked up by HDMI to my two-speaker TV. I don't think XBMC is my problem, however. Out of the box, XBMC supports sound over HDMI (if you tell it to use it), but when I try to run ZSNES, I only get sound through the headphone jack on the side. Now, the one problem with XBMC is that menu sounds go through the default device (i.e. the headphone jack) rather than the device selected in its settings (in my case, the HDMI port). In order to fix that problem, my .asoundrc looks like this:
Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,3"
}
}
Unfortunately, this does not fix ZSNES for some reason. Even worse, I no longer get sound through the headphone jack. What does fix ZSNES, however, is this strange hack that has been making the rounds on the XBMC forums. First, you download a modified version of HDA-Intel.conf found here. It appears to route everything through pcm.!remap-surround71. Then, you use this asound.conf:
Code:
pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
[code]....
This almost fixes everything. Unfortunately, when I try playing a video with AC3/Dolby Digital, I get a screechy, garbled mess. Videos with mp3 and DTS work fine, however. what the asound files or the modified HDA-Intel.conf are trying to do. My guess is that something with the 7.1 mapping is screwing up AC3. And my hunch is that such a hack is way too complicated just to tell ZSNES to use the HDMI port. And, yes, ZSNES is instructed to use SDL or ALSA (neither appears to make a difference).

My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 3078-tx. It is was a great laptop when it was running windows 7 but when I tried installing Ubuntu, I slowly began to hate it more and more. The issue is with the ATI and Intel switchable graphics card. Ubuntu installs fine and things seem to be great but I cant use the better graphics effects in ubuntu. I installed the driver that ubuntu provides for ATI and it didnt work and ubuntu booted into a terminal etc.. and I had to put it back to the way it was before. After sometime researching on the internet I know the problem is with the swtichable graphics.
Unfortunatley there is no option to turn off switchable graphic in my bios and hp arent much of a help. I dont know what to do now ? Is there any way to get switchable graphics to w ork with linux, is there way to get version of the bios that lets me disable it ? any variations of ubuntu or linux that it works with. I would prefer to use the ATI if i have to disable one or the other cause Im usually running on ac power anyways.

Maybe saying Ubuntu is getting worse is unfair. I'm not a big user I have to say. I use it more out of curiosity than anything else. I first used 8 and it was brilliant. I told all my mates about it. Everything work great. I had all desktop effects. I could use a KDE session. Then I upgraded to 9 and lost KDE ability but still had all desktop effects available. Upgraded to 10 a few weeks ago and now no desktop effects. Non of the above is a problem but I feel like, for me, it's going backwards.
I use an old AMD 2600 machine with a Radeon 9600. I used to be able to use ATI Catalyst but that didn't work after the upgrade to 10 and I can't seem to find a solution. Ubuntu is still brilliant but I don't like things being taken away from me.

Wow -everything works with alpha-3 version with a fresh install. Sound, wireless modem, processor speed scaling, sound controls, touch pad, all cores running,power management, battery, fans, etc. NVidia driver is also working. I tried multiple other distro installs - opensuse, Fedora, and ubuntu 10.04 - none worked. Also tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 which didn't work either. also tried upgrading to 2.6.35 kernel which didn't work either.
I'm running a toshiba satellite a505-6030 with an i7 core, nvidia graphics gforce 310M. i didn't have to pass any arguments to grub either . First boot seemed to stall, rebooted machine, and it's been working perfectly since.

I remember I tried to boot Ubuntu Netbook Edition LiveCD once, but I had a problem with 3D graphics, and a result I couldn't see the menu panels, etc. So, I was wondering, will the same thing happen with Natty, since they are both Unity? Or will they improve support for graphics in 11.04?

I recently noticed some of my one-liners with && and || didn't work as I expected so I googled for "bash && || pitfalls" and found this page [URL] It's probably my fault, but I still don't understand why it wouldn't work as I want it..... I don't even have the code anymore that wasn't working properly because I rewrote it using if ; then ; command ; fi

Just installed CentOS 5.4, had no problems until the first time it tried to login, where the keyboard didn't work. There are bugs logged on both the CentOS site, and the Red Hat site, but nobody seems to have a definitive solution (other than buy a USB keyboard). Bearing in mind that the machine in question is not hooked up to a network (i.e. no internet updates), is there a way to resolve this issue?

I have Lubuntu 10.10 on and old old IBM Think T22 with an Asus wl-107g WLAN PCMCIA card installed.. When i first installed the distribution it didn't work. Then i rebooted a couple of times and then it worked no bother, but now it doesn't work again..
The error is basically that it doesn't seem to recognize it anymore.. it doesn't recognise any network hardware other that the built in ethernet card (which for some reason got the name eth2, suggesting that there is an eth0 and eth1 but ifconfig doesn't show them)

Trying to install e4rat that was on LifeHacker on Friday and have zero idea what I am doing. I have the e4rat extracted to a directory in /usr/local/src The README says that there are dependencies including boost library components. I am fine installing the whole boost library but sudo apt-get install libboost* did not work.

I have recently acquired a Lenovo Q150 machine and attempting to use it as a HTPC. I've been reading that with this platform a newer kernel is required to make wireless, sound and a few other tweaks work correctly--so I bumped up to testing repositories to upgrade to the 2.6.38 kernel.[URL]...
The audio on this device has been more than a pain. I'm currently using XBMC to play media on this device and after setting the outputs to custom: plughw:1,9 sound is played correctly. I found this out by using alsamixer, selecting the sound card with the F6 key (Nvidia 1) unmutting all outputs, quiting, and running speaker-test -D plughw:1,X where X is the sub-device from the output of aplay -l until sound could be heard from the receiver.
Now my problem is that applications like mplayer, and iceweasel won't output any sound. I'd prefer not to use the optical out on the device and would like to send sound over HDMI. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work as it should?
I've also installed pulseaudio, not too sure if this is really needed. I've also used module assistant before upgrading to compile alsa from source, it worked but i just decided to upgrade the kernel instead of dealing with m-a every time an update comes through.

I have gotten Debian working quite well on my Sony Vaio laptop for the past 6 months or so, and it's a very rewarding experience. I however have a small amount of problems that I could not find the answer to through googling or reading Debian instructions.
1) I have an Atheros-based wireless chipset in my laptop that didn't work with the default wireless drivers in Debian. So I replaced them with madwifi drivers and it works great now. However, every time I restart the computer, it defaults back to 1mb/s wireless speed; making me go into root terminal and change the speed with "iwconfig ath0 rate 54M". Obviously this gets a little bit annoying to enter every time, so I am looking for a way to make it automatic. I have looked on Google and gotten some hits but none of them have been successful.
2) Whenever I put the computer on stand-by then return, the wifi refuses to connect. Networkmanager tries to connect then crashes. I have found no hits on this issue with my configuration. Very odd.

I bought the modem above (ZTE MF627), which works great in Windows 7. My laptop dual boots between Windows 7 and Fedora 12, so I rebooted into Fedora and spent a few hours trying to get the modem working. Scouring the Ubuntu forums (as there's only one post on these forums and it simply didn't work), I found a few possible solutions, but nothing seems to be solving the problem. Here goes... The modem gets picked up by the kernel and appears as a USB device.

Recently I tried putting Kubuntu Natty Narwhal on yet again and to my surprise it mostly worked. The only major thing wrong with it was my brightness controls didn't work (I have a VPCCW21FX laptop) at first this was an anoyance being blinded by my screen but I soon realized that it was killing my battery life. So having tried to seek help in getting it to work I tried out OpenSUSE. They worked! but as soon as I updated the kernal they no longer worked. No Problem. I reinstalled and told it to never apply that update. Then I installed the official nvidia drivers via repository on the opensuse wiki. they installed and worked but my brightness controls were once again broken.
