I have recently installed Voyage MPD on an old mini-itx machine using a
VIA C7 processor, as a music server for an Ayre QB9. I have the same
problem as everyone else with the USB1 mode on the QB9, but it works fine
with the USB2.0 mode with all material, so I am happy about that. I also
confirm that it is NOT a Voyage problem; the same inability to properly
get/set the sampling frequency occurs on machines running Ubuntu 10.04 and
Fedora 13; Fedora 12 is even worse--dmesg runs away with recurring errors
when the unit is plugged in. Seems likely that it is some Alsa-Ayre
inconsistency problem; the DAC was reported to work fine with various
Linux distros a year ago.
But I have a few questions.
1. I am running on an ordinary disk, not a cf, and I would like to be able
to disable the final remounting of the root filesystem to read-only. I put
remountrw in rc.local, but the final remounting of / in ro mode is done
AFTER rc.local is executed, and I cannot find where. Can somebody tell
me??
2. Much more serious, and there has not been a thread about this that I
have been able to find, is that apt-get (or apt-cache) does not work for
me. The contents of my sources.list file is
# /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
# deb http://us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
Neither apt-get install nor apt-cache search can find ANYTHING (nor
could it with the original sources.list file with the tw ftp sites). I am
almost certainly doing something stupid, but I cannot figure out
what. I have been running Fedora, RH, and Ubuntu for years, but this
is my first foray into a genuine Debian distro, and I am doubtless
missing something. I tried an installation onto another machine, same
result.
Can anybody advise?
TIA
