Hangs during shutdown (CIFS VFS)

Posted on December 30, 2012 by todd

To fix it, I just moved the unmounting before the network shutdown in the shutdown list. Here is how:

Change directory to /etc/rc6.d and list it's contents.

Code:

cd /etc/rc6.d
ls -la

You are looking for S#wpa-ifupdown and S#umountnfs.sh. wpa-ifupdown's # is normally 15, umountnfs.sh's # is normally 31.

So you should see these two amongst your listing:

Code:

S15wpa-ifupdown
...
S31umountnfs.sh

If these numbers are the same in your case, you can now type:

Code:

sudo mv S31umountnfs.sh S14umountnfs.sh

This moves your samba share unmounting to an "earlier" position in the shutdown list which *should* get rid of the annoying hangs in the shutdown process, it cleared my hangs up.

Mythbuntu 8.04.1 Clean Install

Posted on December 30, 2012 by todd

ATI Dropper support for some older cards in the fglrx driver. 8.04 is a LTS release so it should last until April 2011.

Install

USER: mythuser

Use ATI/AMD Proprietary driver

TV Out enabled

Auto Login

Video Setup

After install enable restricted video driver

Reboot

Edit xorg.conf to:

Section "Device"

Identifier "Configured Video Device"

Driver "fglrx"

Option "VideoOverlay" "on"

Option "TexturedVideo" "off"

Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

Option "EnableMonitor" "crt1"

EndSection

To see what monitors are detected if video playback isn't going to external display

Run "aticonfig –query-monitor"

LIRC Setup

sudo dpkg-reconfigure setserial

— Set to Manual

Edit /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf

Add: /dev/ttyS0 uart none

cp /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf /etc/serial.conf

”modprobe lirc_serial” should now work. Check dmesg for errors and /dev/l* for /dev/lirc0

Setup IR Receiver

Attach serial IR receiver
run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
Choose "Home-brew (16×50 UART compatible serial port)" or whatever your receiver is.

Setup URC-6131 Remote

Copy mplayer lirc script into ~/.lirc

Copy mythtv lirc script into ~/.lirc

copy lircd.conf for remote into /etc/lirc

Shutdown

Edit /etc/sudoers

ADD: mythuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/halt,/sbin/shutdown,/sbin/reboot,/bin/mount,/bin/umount

MPlayer

~/.mplayer/config

# Write your default config options here!

# run full-screen

fs=yes

# zoom image to fill the screen

zoom=yes

# disable mplayer's usual verbosity

really-quiet=yes

# use XVideo for video output

vo=xv

# don't enable joystick

nojoystick=yes

# if ac3 audio, send raw stream to my amp, else fall back

#ac=hwac3,

# my display is 16:9

monitoraspect=16:9

Passphrase

Set keyring passphrase to {blank} when prompted

Troubleshooting
