Page 3 of 4 FOR NORMAL PCI soundcards, run the "alasconf" script! $ amixer set Master,0 100%,100% unmute $ amixer set PCM,0 100%,100% unmute $ amixer set Line,0 75%,75% mute captur $ amixer set Capture,0 100%,100% captur $ su # alsactl store # exit To access the mixer control panel (graphical mode) use “alsamixer”. Make sure to run “alsactl store” following any changes. In current versions of KnoppMyth this should be done correctly by the /usr/local/bin/lirc-reconfig.sh script. Hauppauge remotes are type 16. To clarify the "which remote is which" question: * "Cigar shaped" with ~34 buttons is what is known as the GREY remote (subtype b). * "Dog bone shaped" with many more buttons is what is known as the SILVER remote (subtype c). <!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Use “irw” command to detect received signals from the remote. - Use “irrecord myremote.conf” to generate a custom configuration file (if it works!).
- Configuring NVIDIA Graphics Adapter/Card
- To remove the blue bordering lines, change the color of them to black:
In a terminal window CODE: su - <root password> apt-get update apt-get install xvattr Next, logout, then login as the "mythtv" user. Then you want to open an editor like nano and add the following line to ~/.fluxbox/apps. Add this line before the line that contains KnoppMyth-Run CODE: [startup] {xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0} Save that file and then to make it take effect: /etc/init.d/gdm restart To test it without making the permanent change described above, open terminal and type in: xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0 |
- To correct any over-scan or color correction issues, do the following:
- Make sure you’ve run “apt-get nvtv.”
- Start watching LiveTV
- <ctl><alt>-F1 to a console, log in as mythtv
- nvidia-settings --display=:0
- <alt>-F7 to go back to LiveTV
- Another, VNC/NX option is the fillowing:
- Start watching LiveTV on the myth box
- From an xterm in the remote window on the second computer, execute "nvidia-settings --ctrl-display=:0"
Setting up and configuring Samba in Linux - Samba is installed by default, so first start up the daemon using /etc/init.d/samba start, then make sure to add it to the startup list so it will initialize automatically:
- update-rc.d samba defaults
- To share music or other files from a Windows machine, do the following:
- su
- apt-get update
- apt-get install smbclient
- apt-get install smbfs
- smbmount //10.0.0.100/Downloads /myth/music/protoss
- If you would like to always mount a Windows shared directory on startup of your MythTV box, you will need to add a line to /etc/fstab as follows:
- su
nano /etc/fstab
Add as the final line:
//windows-server-name/shared-folder-name /linux/mount/point smbfs
username=xp_username,password=xp_password 0 0
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
- Then save and exit your text editor.You can also avoid entering your password in the fstab file by pointing to a 'credentials' file. See instructions on how to do this at the following page:
