Re: [Voyage-linux] Will an MQA decoder become available in Voyage MPD ??

[chris hermansen]

Cor and everyone,

MQA is patented closed source and the decoding technology must be licensed
from its creators.

Just when we have a great selection of music in open formats without any
kind of restriction on the decoding, and a great selection of players that
can play those open formats.

Effectively MQA is DRM. If you don't have a licensed decoder you can't get
the full benefit.

What a disappointment. Please don't support MQA.

OK so to confirm that I understand correctly:

6 days per week the computer starts up, writes its log files, and shuts
down correctly.

1 day per week the computer starts up, does not appear to write its log
files, and hangs up.

Is that correct?

If so, have you examined the log files on "the bad day" while the computer
is running?

Are you running the computer with a read-only root and using /tmp for
storing /var while running? And expecting the shutdown process to copy the
files in /tmp back to /var? If so, that may be why your files appear not to
be written - because they are not copied back on shutdown.

Two suggestions.

The 3.14 kernel is pretty old. Can you try this on a newer kernel, for
example on a desktop or laptop running a 4.x kernel? Maybe the latest
Ubuntu or Fedora live CD?

Then, if that doesn't work, try the ALSA user mailing list
alsa-u...@lists.sourceforge.net (you have to subscribe)

[Voyage-linux] tmpfs too small?

[chris hermansen]

Good people,

I am running Mubox on a cubox-i4.  A great music player, really.

One small problem I have... The machine never seems to need to be rebooted,
but every so often when I login to apply updates I start getting messages
about write errors.  I think this happens when tmpfs has filled up.

My cubox-i4 has a nice big class 10 micro SSD.  df -k reports

Filesystem  1K-blocks  Used  Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs   15312852545416   13973196   4% /

Would it be reasonable to allocate a few more Gb of that unused space in
/dev/root to tmpfs?

If so, is there a voyage-specific guide on this topic?

If I power down the cubox and extract the SSD, and put it in a carrier in
an Ubutu machine, can I just change partition sizes?

Thanks!

I don't have any direct help for you; I only use my cubox-i4 for 2 channel
mpd.

But, have you read the Alsa configuration docs?

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc

Also various linux distros have varying amounts of alsa configuration info
(Arch Linux, for example); though sadly a lot of them hide Alsa behind
Pulse, which is a fine general purpose interface but completely misses the
boat for people who want to play their music back at its native resolution.

If you are only using mpd you can through-configure alsa using the mpd
config file; probably also the same with various video players.

Assuming you have checked out the above, have you asked on the Alsa list?

 Apologies in advance if this is a silly question... most of the time I
 am an Ubuntu desktop user and debian in general, and voyage in
 particular, seem to have some important differences that I don't
 understand.

 For those of us already running Voyage Linux (in my case, a mubox
 installation performed last spring with the 3.14 kernel), will we
 automatically get these updates, or do we need to (should we) do a
 dist-upgrade?

 i suppose the packages in the voyage debian repo should get updated soon
 and so a apt-get upgrade will you bring the updates... right?

Well... that was my question - will the new packages become available
via apt-get upgrade, or do we need to do apt-get dist-upgrade?

Martin, what is not clear is, are you answering my question or also
asking Punky for confirmation?

Sifu, thank you for the clarification!

 Hi Chris and all,

 Let me answer all these questions in one:

 1. Regarding to the upgrade, please read the following thread and my
 sub-sequence response.
 https://www.mail-archive.com/voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk/msg07059.html

 2. 0.9 repo has just been updated.

 3. Voyage MPD just adds more packages and stuff to Voyage Linux, to make it
 a CAS-capable player.  You can find the installed package list in /cat
 /voyage.dpkg-l in both Voyage Linux and MPD.

 4. Today, the major differences between Voyage Linux and Debian are the
 customized trim-down kernel, mounting read-only at boot, which is
 accomplished by voyage-utils package, and some added custom packages in
 http://mirror.voyage.hk/dists/version

 5. Voyage MuBox is a slightly different beast than Voyage Linux and MPD,
 especially on how it is created and installed, the bootloader and the
 kernel.

The reference to the mail archive is very informative, thank you!

I did some reading about the Mubox kernel over on some Debian page
today and i see what you mean by the last point.

I will think this over, but I believe I am clear for the time being.

Once more, thank you for this wonderful work.

The 3.14 kernel I am running on my CuBox-i4 makes me a bit nervous as
I don't quite get how it got into the image I installed...

 that's all. Do I need to install a syslog manager by my own or is

 there



 somethine wrong?

   

Is syslogd running (ps -ef | grep log)?

   

   

   

Seems odd to me you don't have any cron stuff in there.

  

   Obviously not:

  

   -- cut

  

   # ps -ef | grep log

  

   root 3288 3007 0 16:52 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto log

  

   -- cut

  

  

  

   Which service is responsible for syslogd?

  

  

  

   -- cut

  

   # l /etc/init.d | grep log

  

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.4K Jan 1 2011 bootlogd

  

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.3K Oct 15 2012 bootlogs

  

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.5K Sep 10 2010 klogd

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.7K Sep 10 2010 sysklogd

  

   -- cut

 

  In my /etc/init.d I have inetutils-syslogd to provide syslogd. I've

  attached mine for your inspection.



 Great, thanks! Because of your script I found out that I had no syslogd
 binary on my system. I needed to (re)install inetutils-syslogd.

 Now all my logs are there again.



 Thanks ans greetings

 Martin


Martin, that's great news!  I'm really glad to have been of assistance.  If
you ever figure out why you didn't have syslogd - which seems really odd to
me - maybe let us all know?

[Voyage-linux] fixing locales issue

[chris hermansen]

Good people;

This morning I decided to chase down and fix the errors I get regarding
locales on voyage.

This is the classic example of a problem with a lot of heat but not much
light.  Anyway, after reading a lot of different posts on the topic,
including a sequence on this list in January past, I solved the problem.

First, the system must be writeable, so

remountrw

Then, I had to install the full locales package

apt-get install locales-all

Then I tried to reconfigure but with out a /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file
that didn't work, so I did this:

echo en_CA.UTF-8  /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
dpkg-reconfigure locales

That worked! no more LC_* error messages from anything.  Finally, since I
did not need a full set of locales, I did this:

apt-get install localepurge
localepurge

And made the system read only

remountro

That's it!  I hope this helps others on this list...

 Hello!

 I am trying to get the current version of Voyage-mpd (3.12.9 kernel) to
work on my Alix2d2, but I have a problem with ssh or web access. I can not
login. Anybody else having similar problems?

 I tried

 ssh -l root 192.168.2.3

 and nothing happens.

By this I guess you mean you don't get prompted for a password...? Are you
sure the IP address is correct?

If you don't get a response from your attempt to login via ssh, it's
possible that the service hasn't started. This could be for all kinds of
reasons - it could be misconfigured, or something else could be preventing
it from running.

One thing you might be able to do to diagnose it is to shut the machine
down, extract the memory card, put it in your laptop, mount it, and take a
look in its var/log/syslog to see if there are any messages of interest.
You could also check configuration files to make sure things look
reasonable.


 I also tried via web interface, I see the log screen, enter root and
voyage, again nothing happens.

I just tried the web login on my voyage box - entered root and voyage,
and pressed the button, and received a brand new blank login screen. So
whatever this is doing on my machine, it is not very interesting.


 Pinging the 192.168.2.3 works with no problems.

Re: [Voyage-linux] CuBox-i4, esata, kernel 3.14 - problems writing files?

Yesterday I bought another hi-res download and decided to try copying it

This seemed to work fine, no messages in syslog nor any other hiccups.

[Voyage-linux] kernel 3.14.4 is not latest?

[chris hermansen]

Good people;

I continue to try to understand why I cannot write successfully to my esata
drive on my cubox-i4.

I would like to try the 3.14.4 kernel.  However i notice that

http://www2.voyage.hk/download/voyage-mubox/cubox-i/kernel-cubox-i-latest.tar.xz

has the same date as the 3.14.0 kernel (31 March 2014).

Can anyone tell me if the 3.14.4 kernel works, and if so, if it works well?

Thanks in advance!

 Hi, I am new to Voyage Linux, I have installed it on a virtual machine in
order to get to know it better. I am asked for the username and password,
what are they?

When I log in via ssh I do so as root and then password is voyage.

 I need a guide to get started in the setup, I also have a question, can I
install a small size graphical user environment to install Wireshark.

You might want to try LXDE. It is pretty skimpy on resource usage.

You should be able to do something like

# remountrw
# sudo apt-get install lxde
# remountro

But I must emphasize I have never tried this.

Good luck!

 Hi Chris Hermansen,

 If you run:

 root@voyage-mubox:~# apt-cache search cubox
 cubox-alsa-conf - CuBox alsa config file
 xorg-dove-x11-conf - CuBox xorg.conf

 The above packages should be listed out even if you encountered error
 below.


You are correct, they show up on my system as well.



 However, those packages are only useful for cubox, not cubox-i series.


Sorry to be a bit thick here, but should I therefore apt-get remove them?
Or are they there for some other reason (eg needed by the 3.14 kernel)?

Should I be commenting something out in my sources.list or sources.list.d
files?

Thanks!




 Regards,
 Punky

 Err http://download.solid-run.com cubox/main armhf Packages

 Sure enough when I look on download.solid-run.com 
 http://download.solid-run.com this directory isn't there.  There is a


 pub/solidrun/cubox/repo/debian/dists/cubox/main/

 with binary-armhf and source but I haven't been able to locate
 .../main with armhf.

 What do we think is out there?  Is it useful?

 Thanks!
