Hi all,

For those adventurous souls among you, I'd like to announce that Ferenc
has some 1.0 builds for testing. They're really rough (meaning there are
quite a few potential showstoppers in there) and we need your testing and
feedback on these before we go public with them, so please download them
with a grain of salt and report all bugs you find.

The Debian packages are based on a build he did

Known issues so far:

- HTML UI is limiting file size uploads to a very small size

Showstoppers that may or may not be reproducible (so far, I'm the only one
who's tested these builds and I need confirmation that it's not just my
machine acting up):

- No sound out of the HTML UI when a file is scheduled
- No update of the 'now playing' field on the HTML UI
- gLiveSupport returns an error on start and fails to start

The files are up at this address:
http://62.44.9.210/~fgerlits

Also, can anyone give us feedback on a recent CVS build? Frans has been
kind enough to tell us about his bugs, but it'd be good if we heard from
others, especially those on Intel platforms (not that there's anything
wrong with PPC, mind you Wink

)

I tested packages from http://62.44.9.210/~fgerlits/ 9at august 17:100
build.
on installing livesupport-station i got some error while configuring the
package, which told me to install
php-cgi, php-pgsql and odbc-postgresql

But anyway install breaks because database access failed. I set up following
and it works fine now:
# All other connections by UNIX sockets
#local all all ident
sameuser
local all all
trust
#
# All IPv4 connections from localhost
#host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 ident
sameuser
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

File /etc/odbc.ini is incorrect. It seems variable names were not replaced
by values. Here some excerp:
[ls_database]
Description = the LiveSupport database at PostgreSQL
Driver = PostgreSQL
Trace = No
TraceFile = /tmp/sql.log
Database = ls_database
Servername = ls_dbserver

(ls_database = LiveSupport, ls_dbserver = localhost works fine)

If I manually correct those things anything seems running fine! Just do not
hear something, but just have one soundcard installed, and not sure about
the config actually. scheduler starts fine and htmlUI shows that a clip is
online.

For upload problem in htmlUI it would be necessary to change php.ini.
Ferenc, which script is running after install and could do it?

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix /etc/odbc.ini, and try to figure out
how to fix pg_hba.conf (any suggestions about that from Vienna or
Jakarta are welcome).

Can you check whether
1) if you modify your pg_hba.conf as per /doc/install.html (section
Database), it still works. Having to put 'trust' there would be really
unfortunate.

2) you can get sound out of the scheduler and gLiveSupport if you change
the device names in /opt/livesupport/etc/scheduler.xml and
/opt/livesupport/etc/gLiveSupport.xml from plughw:X to something else.
Try "default" or "/dev/dsp" or use your imagination. Smile

Yes, those are required packages. Apt-get would install them for you
automatically; dpkg is not quite as smart. This is OK.

All php post-installation is done by /bin/postInstallStation.sh. You
need to put your code there. It should also go into the 'install'
target of the htmlUI Makefile.in, only executed if 'configure'd with
some non-default option (--create-database? or --configure-apache? or
add a new one? it's up to you).

Hi Ferenc,

1) yes, using the settings from install.html works fine. It would just
needet to adjust pg_hba.cong automatically.

2) using /dev/dspX instead of plughw:X works fine. I plugged a second
soundcard, even than plughw:0 or default does not work:
gstreamer error: Device "default" does not exist.

It seems a real sounddevice name must be set there.

It sounds like you don't have alsa installed. Since oss is more
widespread, and alsa can emulate oss, I guess I'll change the default
audio device names to /dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2. If I don't
hear any objections in the next few hours, that is.

Stick with ALSA! OSS is a thing of the past.

I may have spoken too soon. I guess it doesn't really matter... I just
get headaches from OSS cause it can tie down the sound card and not let
go.... but to get ALSA working in debian involves just running

apt-get install alsaconf
alsaconf

and maybe checking
cat /proc/asound/cards

is livesupport jack-compatible yet... i guess it should be if it uses
gstreamer right?

Ferenc,

According to me we have chosen for Alsa.
I can go wrong but isn't the LiveCD based on Alsa drivers ?
I am certain knowing for Ubuntu.

it might also help if you use a 2.6 kernel... alsa works much better in
those
