| Post subject: | Diskless FE no audio |
I ran prep-ts and got everything working. I can boot and run Mythtv. however, there is no audio. If I boot off the CD and run frontend, audio works. So what is the difference, snd what do I need to do to get it to work from the diskless image? |

There should be no difference. When booting diskless, does the audio card get detected? When booting from the CD, do you use any boot parameters? Did you try running Code: /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig start After a diskless boot?

Ok, tried that. I ran it on the server, and it ran without errors. I tried running it on FE but it gave an error about not being able to write to /tmp. Still no sound. Does the diskless FE use the server sound card, or it's own? My card is a C-MEDIA CM8738. Do I need to specify the module in the terminalserver setup or something? |

It usess it own. Not being able to write to /tmp is most likely the problem. No solution off hand and it will probably take some time to look at this... |

Well, since it's a ramdisk that would preclude any write access. I did notice the audio module is being loaded at boot time. By the way, why was my other poste deleted? All I wanted was to be able to see my recorded videos on the FE. Is this standard practice? |

So, in summary what I have gathered so far about a diskless FE: No audio(no way to configure it) No NFS or SAMBA mounts So that pretty much leaves it as a coolness factory with a nice menu, and nothing more. Kind of useless wouldn't you say? So what's the point of making it available if it doesn't work? |

Have you ever considered the possibility that you could modify the image directly and burn a custom CD? Sadly, CD's are written and can't store information beyond that (especially when the disk is full). But have you considered a jumpdrive or flashcard? they are cheap and can be wired directly into the most compact of machines.. |
