Re: [ubuntu-uk] Rolling back Updates
We only a small community station so there are about ten machines to move otver. We've never used the commercial systems such as Myriad. Our playout system is something slightly more modest, iTunes! Moving over software wise is pretty simple. Wine can handle the must have Windows apps. - Chris 2009/2/12 Rob Beard r...@esdelle.co.uk: On 12/02/2009 12:31, Chris Weaver wrote: Hi All, I'm working through the rather painful process of moving our radio stations (Resonance104.4FM) computers from XP to Ubuntu Intrepid. snip Hi Chris, Out of interest are you just moving over some of the PCs (such as Sales, Admin staff, Presenters e-mail desktops) or the whole lot (such as Playout systems, News PCs etc)?

Well if you're moving over to Ubuntu you might be interested in Rivendell, it's a full featured open source radio playout system. It's not the easiest thing to get up and running but it's all free software. I used it as a radio playout system for another commercial station I was working for (they were at a county show and wanted to setup a working radio studio and as we couldn't really take the commercial kit out of the station this was the best solution).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Rolling back Updates
I'm starting to look at Rivendale. I found a dissertation examining the various open source playout systems. - Chris 2009/2/13 Rob Beard r...@esdelle.co.uk: On 13/02/2009 10:57, Chris Weaver wrote: We only a small community station so there are about ten machines to move otver.

[ubuntu-uk] Rolling back Updates
Hi All, I'm working through the rather painful process of moving our radio stations (Resonance104.4FM) computers from XP to Ubuntu Intrepid. I won't bore you with multiple problems I'm facing, mainly through Linux ignorance and a little bit of Ubuntu crazyness, but I wondered two things: 1) Is it possible to roll back an update? I broke a perfectly functioning machine but allowing it to update (the kernal is now xx-23) and now no sound. 2) Does any one have experience with the paid for support offered by Canonical? Is it worth the cost? kind regards, Chris Weaver P.S Anyone a member of the London LUG? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

When you boot the machine, you should be able to press ESC which will allow you to choose the kernel to boot from. If you can specify the machine/hardware etc then we may be able to help. There is a known issue with certain hardware and kernels that mean that you have to run a script after the kernel upgrade.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Rolling back Updates
Thanks for the prompt reply! The machine in question is a Dell Vostro 420, the built in sound card as I recall took alot of fiddling (I'm still learning about OSS/PulseAudio/ALSA phew!) it is a HDA Intel model. Wasn't aware of the Dell forum.
