[SOLVED] fbsplash and grub2

Hi, I wanted to give myself a splashscreen but the Fbsplash wiki only shows how to do this with grub legacy, and currently my computers booting is controlled by grub2 from Ubuntu, as it insisted on it. So I was wondering if theres a way to circumvent this, I don't want to go and do something that might mean I can't boot at all. I've heard of chainloading, which links from the bootloader on the MBR to other distro or partition specific bootloaders, but I've only really seen this with the example of Windows, and grub2 and Ubuntu sort it out for the user, meaning nothing is learned. Could anybody give me some advice?
Cheers,
Ben.

Ok thanks, I've pacman'd grub2 and used Arch's instead of ubuntu and set my Arch / partition with the boot flag, not that it would make much difference because grub2 is put on the MBR. Although it has acted a bit differently, I now hove the choice of the lts kernel, which I don't think I've been using up to now, I've installed all my modules for kernel26. And It won't audodetect any of the Ubuntu partitions. Although, truth be told, I've been having problems with the ubuntu partitions for quite some time, they seem to think they're called UberStudent, not Ubuntu. I tried putting ubuntu entries in 40-custom but it hasn't worked yet. But I'm going to try and turn autodetection off and use only custom. Or I may just put grub-legacy on.
[EDIT] Got it going - disabled the automatic scripts and just added everything to the 40_custom file and added the kernel line and it works fine. Had a kernel panic the first time I tried but it works now perfectly, must have been a typo.

[SOLVED] Splitting grub2 package as grub2-bios and grub2-efi

Hi all,
I currently maintain the grub2-efi-bzr http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40290 and grub2-bios-bzr http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41055 AUR packages. I proposed a split PKGBUILD to tpowa and pressh for grub2 package based on requests at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19838 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20419 . The PKGBUILD creates 4 packages grub2-common, grub2-bios, grub2-efi-x86_64, grub2-efi-i386.
I need your impressions and suggestions on improving the PKGBUILD, especially in avoiding the use of multilib toolchain. Thanks in advance.
grub2-bios for Archlinux i686 and x86_64 (multilib needed in x86_64) - compiled as any in Arch64
grub2-bios for Archlinux i686 and x86_64 (multilib needed in x86_64) - compiled as any in Arch64
grub2-efi-x86_64 for Archlinux i686 and x86_64 (no need for multilib in x86_64, not possible to compile in i686) - compiled as any in Arch64
I currently use x86_64 Archlinux with gcc-multilib from the official repo. I do not have i686 linux (either Arch or any other distro) installed. My system compiles both grub2-efi-x86_64 and grub2-efi-i386 using the below PKGBUILD. I use only grub2-efi-x86_64 (or x86_64-EFI) in my system.

The package is now in testing repo and will soon be moved to extra repo. Solved by splitting the PKGBUILDs and through direct interaction with grub2 maintainer using irc.

[SOLVED] fbsplash working but have a created future problems?

I'm new to arch but have managed to successfully install fbcondecor and fbsplash and manipulate them to at least a reasonable degree to get the desired effect. However my tech-speak is poor so please bear with me.
The problem is that my splash screen seems to look fine, initially. Then, however, when Vesa hands off to inteldrm the graphics get distorted. I believe it is whenever the screen resolution change occurs during the boot (which is why i believe it occurs during the handoff). I have listed my grub configuration files as well as my daemons and Hooks below in hopes one of you guys may recognize an error. I have read and attempted to resolve the issue but it is clear I cannot solve it without some assistance from someone with a deeper knowledge.
This is what my screen looks like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136819 so I'm guessing it relates to the KMS but I configured the file in accordance with the wiki so...
Edit: Another possibly pertinent note is that the splash works perfectly on shutdown.

Daemons
DAEMONS=(hwclock dbus !network fbcondecor sshd @netfs @crond acpid @networkmanager laptop-mode !net-profiles syslog-ng !net-auto-wireless @cupsd)
What should I be looking for to solve this problem? What occurs that changes the screen from the basic resolution it starts with to the enhanced resolution in the next portion of boot? Should I post dmesg output?

The question here is, why does it get loaded in the first place, usually it's loaded by the vga= statement. I'm guessing the monstrosity that is grub2 has something to do with it, remove all the GFX stuff from it's config.
Thanks for your input. You are correct in your assumption about my screen resolution being 1366x768. I am having trouble understanding what you mean by "remove all the GFX stuff". Do you mean for me to change my /etc/default/grub file and leave blank all of the categories that include "GFX" and then mkconfig? Or are you proposing that I manually modify something in the grub.cfg to disable the graphics mode in grub2?
One other quick note. It seems that before Vesa hands off to inteldrm the splash looks as intended. It is after this hand off takes place that the splash becomes distorted (4 different occurences of the splash across the screen, all of them appearing shredded and smeared across the screen).
Edit: Another possibly pertinent note is that the splash works perfectly on shutdown.
Also, for further reference I have posted both my /etc/default/grub & /boot/grub/grub.cfg below.

Tried to use fbsplash and now I am unable to boot

Hello,
it looks like I have done something wrong.
I've followed the wiki's "suspend to disk" description and after fixing some minor problems it was working fine.
Then I gave fbsplash a try and that is where something went wrong.
After fbsplash has replaced the initscripts my system refuses to boot.
When it tries to boot arch it tells me something about "static dev" and then tries to load modules and this is where it stops and give me the "crtl+d or root password" prompt.
I have uninstalled fbsplash and installed the default initscript again but the problem remains,
it still reports something about "static udev" and hangs on "loading modules".
How can I get my system to load arch again ?
Best regards,
Ingo

Loggin in with root password, remounting my partition with write access and reinstalling udev did the trick.
Thank you.

I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
They also have a limited, free version.

[SOLVED] GRUB to GRUB2

When migrating to GRUB2, should GRUB be removed using pacman, or does installing GRUB2 actually overwrite all of the older GRUB files?
I didn't see it mentioned in the wiki, or in any other posts about GRUB2, but I see no point in having any leftovers from the older version remaining on the drive if they aren't needed.
Thanks.
Edit: added SOLVED tag.

I can't answer that question directly, but my guess is that they're still there as a fall back. It took me a bunch of failed tries to get my grub2 config working, and all I needed to do to boot into the system was move menu.lst.pacsave back to menu.lst. If you do that, you're booting into grub and not grub2.
I wonder why it does something with your old menu.lst file. Did you install grub2 with grub-install after replacing grub on your machine?

Black Screen before installing windows 7. Lets solve once and for all.

I have a late 2008 macbook pro and have been trying to install windows 7 through boot camp for a number of days now. I have read every forum on the internet and have tried every popular solution (i.e. resetting pram, smc, unplugging, changing screen resolution, etc.) and nothing has worked. I know there are many other people with this problem but none of them have solutions. I had windows 7 installed a few months ago but it stopped working and I had to delete it. Just yesterday I reinstalled Snow Leopard and still nothing. I created the partition and tried to install windows but it just goes to the blinking cursor for one second, then a black screen. I have tried everything possible and nothing works.
Please lets try to get this problem solved because out of every single forum on the internet, none of them have solved this problem.

I think after weeks of searching I have finally narrowed it down, based on what I have read, to a disk drive problem. It seems to be something wrong with the EFI or the entire disk drive in general. I am taking it to the apple store tomorrow and I highly doubt they will do anything.

Critical Irish Update needed to solve black and white tv problem on G20!

I recently had trouble with setting up tv on my Qosmio G20, I was pointed in the direction of a black and white problem that affects earlier models. The solution to the problem was to use the g20's drivers and run 2 reg files.
Having done that to no success i tried every irish combination possible, with still black and white, I then tried UK and got colour.
I mucked about with the registration files and found that in the file, there was no irish setting, So when a user puts ireland in as their location they will always get black and white.
Ireland uses the exact same settings for tv as the UK does, However if a person choses UK they will not get irish guides or irish channels to pick from (ireland isnt part of the uk)
i found the settings for the UK -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\ttv200x\Parameters\44]
@="United Kingdom"
"FreqBoundary"=dword:000493e0
"LB_VideoStandard"=dword:20000080
"LB_AudioStandard"=dword:00020000
"LB_ShiftFreq"=dword:00000abe
"HB_VideoStandard"=dword:20000080
"HB_AudioStandard"=dword:00020000
"HB_ShiftFreq"=dword:00000abe
Figuring the 44, was the dial code for UK (that took a while to figure) i added a registry entry with exactly the same settings, but with ireland and 353 at the top.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\ttv200x\Parameters\353]
@="Ireland"
"FreqBoundary"=dword:000493e0
"LB_VideoStandard"=dword:20000080
"LB_AudioStandard"=dword:00020000
"LB_ShiftFreq"=dword:00000abe
"HB_VideoStandard"=dword:20000080
"HB_AudioStandard"=dword:00020000
"HB_ShiftFreq"=dword:00000abe
I now have colour tv under the irish settings in media centre, i also have sound now, where before i didnt. Hopefully the above code will be added to the registry file named ttv2_regdata_20050111.reg that comes as part of the http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB5800V20000R01.htm driver fix for the problem..
thanks to jimi in the following post http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=42&threadID=11145 for pointing me in the right direction.
Hope it helps someone..
laters taters...

I can confirm the problem isnt to do with win dvd creator 2 for toshiba. My registry setting was at 0.
Its bascially a known problem that was fixed, however it wasnt fixed for irish people.
When windows wants to play tv it looks in the registry to find out what settings to use. There are no irish ones. Our signal is technically the same as the UK, so using UK settings fixes the problem, However the UK guide doesnt work for irish channels. For the tv to work in colour windows needs the 353 settings.
I think the guy on this thread was having the exact same problem that is fixed with the registry entry.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2488&tstart=75
This problem will only affect a small amount of users, The fix that comes with the toshiba drivers needs the irish settings added, Then the problem will be solved by updating the drivers.
until then any irish people can fix their black and white tv signal by adding the above registry entrys.
for trouble shooting purposes here is a list of countries where the bug is fixed... If someone complains of black and white tv on the qosmio series, this list can be checked, and if the persons country is absent, it could be the problem. To fix the problem you need to find out their country call code (+353 is ireland, +44 is UK) You also need to know the settings to add, i did this by looking at the UK settings in the file ttv2_regdata_20050111.reg that comes in the "reg" folder that comes for the qosmio tv driver.
here is the list of countries that an update of driver will work for...
"United States"

[SOLVED]systemd and make a camera visible GUI-wise in your filemanager

After reading a lot about systemd in the wiki and in this forum I understand there are different opionons about systemd. Anyway, I have a adapted all the changes to rc.conf leaving out only a few daemons to start there. So why not give systemd a try? If you dont want to read the full posting I finally got it to work, basically by reading carefully and checking the suggested tests in the systemd wiki. (loginctl)
As suggested by the wiki, I tried the systemd yesterday. Enabled via systemctl some services to "replace" my rc.conf daemons. I got what I thought everything to work, including autologin directly to my Xfce4 desktop. Everything except the digital camera.
When starting Arch traditionally via initscripts I immediately can see the camera in the filemanager (Nautilus) when the camera is attached via USB.
Some minutes later, after adding "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" to the APPEND line in Syslinux and rebooting, my machine reboots
fine.But when connecting the camera again it is not visible graphically.
The camera is there because when using gphoto2 (the commandline) as root I can transfer pictures etc.
Even if I am no happy CLI user I can handle it when necessary. Handling pictures a graphical view of them is much easier...
As the wiki about systemd says one can try it out. I have not removed anything from the system and when starting Arch again, the initscript way, I can see the camera again in my filemanager, gthumb works again and pictures can be transferred to my machine.
In the wiki again, this time about digital cameras
Permission issues
Camera devices should be granted permission using ACLs. For this to work, users need to have consolekit or systemd running and the user session must be registered with them accordingly.
Check this using /usr/bin/ck-list-sessions to verify a value of "TRUE" should be returned for both the "active" and "is-local" fields:
$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
ACL=Atlantic Container Line is what first comes into my mind. I have had some connections to transport business...I admit I had to google it to find the correct interpretation of this mumbo-jumbo.
The wiki also gives a "hint", if this is not working try to use the obsolete camera group and edit some udev rules.
Should not be necessary when it has worked before systemd and earlier experiences
But what is this about "Permission issues"? Here is my listings relative the wiki hints. All seems OK.. or why the heck are there two sessions??
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
is-local = TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:12:56.499847Z'
login-session-id = '1'
idle-since-hint = '2012-10-24T07:13:26.994037Z'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:13:02.361157Z'
login-session-id = '1'
[leif@krasaki ~]$
As one can see, the ACTIVE values are here as the wiki says. But no camera. Those values are the same, wheter which way the machine is started. But 2 sessions??
Further reading in the systemd wiki article and consolekit vs systemd.logind gives a clue.
From the wiki:
In order to check the status of your user session, you can use loginctl. To see if your user session is properly set up, check if the following command contains Active=yes. All polkit actions like suspending the system or mounting external drives with Udisks should then work automatically.
So when started via systemd and running logintctl, it gives this surprising result. Does not matter wheter as normal user, nor as root....
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 leif seat0
1 sessions listed.
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl show-session 1
Id=1
Timestamp=Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:57:03 +0200
TimestampMonotonic=20040019
DefaultControlGroup=name=systemd:/user/leif/1
VTNr=1
TTY=tty1
Remote=no
Service=login
Leader=315
Audit=1
Type=tty
Class=user
Active=no
State=online
KillProcesses=no
IdleHint=yes
IdleSinceHint=1351069009642296
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=6664433
Name=leif
[leif@krasaki ~]$
Surprising? Should it not have been Active=Yes? So something is wrong in my settings although it had worked "before" starting using systemd..
OK, so far. Lost? Not yet. Double check again everything and I found the culprit, my ~/.bash_profile which had worked before seemed a bit different to what is suggested in the wiki. The old one, actually started 2 sessions, as also could be seen here above checking ck-list-sessions. That was the problem
Using a fresh edited ~/.bash_profile as suggested here, the camera is visible graphically
Finally, just for fun, start again the old initscipt way. Enabling daemon and so on. Still 2 sessions going on....Here it was the "/.xinitrc, which also had some old fashions and I removed the ck-launch-session from the exec line. So even here, now only 1 session..
Anyway, now the camera is visible, both starting with initscripts, naturally also some daemons active in rc.conf and by starting with systemd.
I rest my case and it seems systemd works with everything on my machine which is just a normal desktop used by an old man.
Thanks for reading...

Solved now! Boot times are as fast as posssible on my HDD I think. Only thing after uninstalling initscripst and initscripts-systemd was that locale was not set inspite of a correct /etc/locale.conf. I had to make /etc/profile.d/locale.sh with this content;
if [ -s /etc/locale.conf ]; then
. /etc/locale.conf
fi
export LANG LANGUAGE LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE
export LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS

[SOLVED] Mpd and sonata doesn't seem to work

Hi guys!
I 'm facing with an issue . I can't seem to configure mpd correctly to run it with sonata .
I've followed the alternative setup from archwiki and this is my config file .
# An example configuration file for MPD
# See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
# Files and directories #######################################################
# This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
# available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
music_directory "/home/andreas/Downloads/Torrents"
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
playlist_directory "/home/andreas/.mpd/playlists"
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
# load the database at server start up and store the database while the
# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
# files over an accepted protocol.
db_file "/home/andreas/.mpd/mpd.db"
# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
# settings.
# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
log_file "/home/andreas/.mpd/mpd.log"
# This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID
# for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by
# default and the pid file will not be stored.
pid_file "/home/andreas/.mpd/mpd.pid"
# This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
# most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before
# it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server
# state will be reset on server start up.
state_file "/home/andreas/.mpd/mpdstate"
# General music daemon options ################################################
# This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as
# root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after
# initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
# current user.
user "andreas"
# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
# should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
# This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"
# And for Unix Socket
#bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"
# This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned
# to.
#port "6600"
# This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available
# setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting
# argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
# available resources on limited hardware storage.
#log_level "default"
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
# the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
# (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which
# point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
#gapless_mp3_playback "yes"
# This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other
# music players.
#save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no"
# This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the
# audio file discovery process. Optionally, 'comment' can be added to this
# list.
#metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"
# Symbolic link behavior ######################################################
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory.
#follow_outside_symlinks "yes"
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory.
#follow_inside_symlinks "yes"
# Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ##########################################
# If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with
# Zeroconf / Avahi.
#zeroconf_enabled "yes"
# The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for
# this MPD server on the network.
#zeroconf_name "Music Player"
# Permissions #################################################################
# If this setting is set, MPD will require password authorization. The password
# can setting can be specified multiple times for different password profiles.
#password "password@read,add,control,admin"
# This setting specifies the permissions a user has who has not yet logged in.
#default_permissions "read,add,control,admin"
# Input #######################################################################
input {
plugin "curl"
# proxy "proxy.isp.com:8080"
# proxy_user "user"
# proxy_password "password"
# Audio Output ################################################################
# MPD supports various audio output types, as well as playing through multiple
# audio outputs at the same time, through multiple audio_output settings
# blocks. Setting this block is optional, though the server will only attempt
# autodetection for one sound card.
# See <http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Audio_Outputs> for examples of
# other audio outputs.
# An example of an ALSA output:
#audio_output {
# type "alsa"
# name "My ALSA Device"
## device "hw:0,0" # optional
## format "44100:16:2" # optional
## mixer_device "default" # optional
## mixer_control "PCM" # optional
## mixer_index "0" # optional

# name "My OSS Device"
## device "/dev/dsp" # optional
## format "44100:16:2" # optional
## mixer_device "/dev/mixer" # optional
## mixer_control "PCM" # optional
# An example of a shout output (for streaming to Icecast):
#audio_output {
# type "shout"
# encoding "ogg" # optional
# name "My Shout Stream"
# host "localhost"
# port "8000"
# mount "/mpd.ogg"
# password "hackme"
# quality "5.0"
# bitrate "128"
# format "44100:16:1"
## protocol "icecast2" # optional
## user "source" # optional
## description "My Stream Description" # optional

#audio_output {
# type "httpd"
# name "My HTTP Stream"
# encoder "vorbis" # optional, vorbis or lame
# port "8000"
## quality "5.0" # do not define if bitrate is defined
# bitrate "128" # do not define if quality is defined
# format "44100:16:1"
# An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server)
#audio_output {
# type "pulse"
# name "My Pulse Output"
## server "remote_server" # optional
## sink "remote_server_sink" # optional
## Example "pipe" output:
#audio_output {
# type "pipe"
# name "my pipe"
# command "aplay -f cd 2>/dev/null"
## Or if you're want to use AudioCompress
# command "AudioCompress -m | aplay -f cd 2>/dev/null"
## Or to send raw PCM stream through PCM:
# command "nc example.org 8765"
# format "44100:16:2"
## An example of a null output (for no audio output):
#audio_output {
# type "null"
# name "My Null Output"
# This setting will change all decoded audio to be converted to the specified
# format before being passed to the audio outputs. By default, this setting is
# disabled.
#audio_output_format "44100:16:2"
# If MPD has been compiled with libsamplerate support, this setting specifies
# the sample rate converter to use. Possible values can be found in the
# mpd.conf man page or the libsamplerate documentation. By default, this is
# setting is disabled.
#samplerate_converter "Fastest Sinc Interpolator"
# Volume control mixer ########################################################
# These are the global volume control settings. By default, this setting will
# be detected to the available audio output device, with preference going to
# hardware mixing. Hardware and software mixers for individual audio_output
# sections cannot yet be mixed.
# An example for controlling an ALSA, OSS or Pulseaudio mixer; If this
# setting is used other sound applications will be affected by the volume
# being controlled by MPD.
#mixer_type "hardware"
# An example for controlling all mixers through software. This will control
# all controls, even if the mixer is not supported by the device and will not
# affect any other sound producing applications.
#mixer_type "software"
# This example will not allow MPD to touch the mixer at all and will disable
# all volume controls.
#mixer_type "disabled"
# Normalization automatic volume adjustments ##################################
# This setting specifies the type of ReplayGain to use. This setting can have
# the argument "album" or "track". See <http://www.replaygain.org> for more
# details. This setting is disabled by default.
#replaygain "album"
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags. By
# default this setting is disabled.
#replaygain_preamp "0"
# This setting enables on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment. This will
# result in the volume of all playing audio to be adjusted so the output has
# equal "loudness". This setting is disabled by default.
#volume_normalization "no"
# MPD Internal Buffering ######################################################
# This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing
# this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you
# are doing.
#audio_buffer_size "2048"
# This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before
# beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping,
# at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.
#buffer_before_play "10%"
# Resource Limitations ########################################################
# These settings are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many
# resources. Generally, these settings should be minimized to prevent security
# risks, depending on the operating resources.
#connection_timeout "60"
#max_connections "10"
#max_playlist_length "16384"
#max_command_list_size "2048"
#max_output_buffer_size "8192"
# Character Encoding ##########################################################
# If file or directory names do not display correctly for your locale then you
# may need to modify this setting. After modification of this setting mpd
# --create-db must be run to change the database.
#filesystem_charset "UTF-8"
# This setting controls the encoding that ID3v1 tags should be converted from.
#id3v1_encoding "ISO-8859-1"
All the files required are in my /home/andreas/.mpd/ directory
config
mpd.db
mpd.error
mpd.log
mpd.pid
mpdstate
playlists
I've also added to my .xinitrc file
mpd /home/andreas/.mpd/config
I 'm sure i've done something wrong but don't know what it is . If anyone could help me out i would be grateful
THanks a for all your help!
