Hi, I run a remote setup for my parents. It's worked very well for about 6 months. Very few problems. However a couple of days ago my dad called, told me there was a power outage and wanted to shut the machines down before the UPS's ran out of juice. We shut them down by hand even though the APC ups daemon probably would have done it anyway.
Since bringing the system up he has had no sound for the last two days. Video seems to be working fine. The backend machine itself is still recording, and alsa is working on that system. Remotely I can do aplay FILE.wav and my dad reports that he hears sound, so the failure is not a total sound failure. I checked that mythfrontend says it's using /dev/dsp, and that /dev/dsp does exist: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -la /dev/dsp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 18 07:13 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ How can I get more info on what is going wrong? I rebooted the system earlier this morning. I'm getting these troubling messages in the mythbackend.log file: Starting up as the master server. 2005-11-18 07:13:54.659 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-11-18 07:13:54.706 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0)::Open(): Can't open video device, error "No such file or directory" 2005-11-18 07:13:54.760 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0)::Open(): Can't open video device, error "No such file or directory" 2005-11-18 07:13:54.761 ChannelBase: Could not find input: Tuner 0 on card when setting channel 4 2005-11-18 07:13:54.766 New DB scheduler connection 2005-11-18 07:13:54.776 New DB connection, total: 3 2005-11-18 07:13:54.784 mythbackend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-11-18 07:13:54.841 Enabled verbose msgs :important 2005-11-18 07:14:02.391 Seem to be woken up by USER 2005-11-18 09:40:42.939 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-18 09:40:51.522 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 1) However /dev/v4l/video0 does exist: gandalf ~ # ls -al /dev/v4l/video video0 video24 video32 gandalf ~ # ls -al /dev/v4l/video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Nov 18 07:13 /dev/v4l/video0 gandalf ~ # Any ideas welcome.
