I believe that I have followed the blog instructions correctly. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) which has been upgraded to Studio running on a Dell Optiplex 170 using the built-in sound card for test purposes. The first problem is that I receive a daemons error before starting Rivendell. Running the command “sudo /etc/init.d/rivendell” start gives the response “Starting Rivendell daemons: caed ripcdrdimport: no process found rdcatchd. ” Not sure if this is correct but the application will start. However, every reboot requires this command to be issued before Rivendell will start. The second problem, like many people, is that I have no sound. I am able to get sound to play outside of Rivendell ok, so I assume the Alsa sound card settings are correct. However, when loading the test tone and either selecting Automatic or Live Assist etc, clicking Start button, the cart does not play. Clicking a second time turns the start button red and the countdown timer shows the running time. Not sure if this is relevant, but the clock background continually flashes red. I don't remember the demo doing this! I am quite keen to get Rivendell running so any advice that others can share would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Julian Hi

I followed your instructions trying to get my 66 Rev.e working on Ubuntu 9.10. Indeed, the device appeared after rebooting, yet it appeard that it only has one stereo digital input and no outputs at all (digital or analog). Would it be too much to ask for some further assistance ? Hello. I followed your instructions trying to get my 66 Rev.e working on Ubuntu 9.10.

We got our NCE construction permit (w00t!) and are getting our studio equipment together. I'm trying to figure out if an M-Audio 1010LT soundcard will function with Rivendell. The card uses "Open Sound System" drivers. http://www.opensound.com/oss.html Their wiki states that the OSS drivers can be configured to do ALSA emulation. http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Tips_And_Tricks#ALSA_Emulation Any feedback, opinions, or pertinent information would be much appreciated.

I followed all the instructions given above, and the workarounds, and can run the software. However, when I go to play a audio file, the file refuses to play. It shows all the song data (title, track length, etc), but just won't start. I assume is has something to do with ALSA, but I don't see any error messages, either in the program window or the terminal. The only thing I can't seem to do is follow Geoffs suggestion of making rduser a part of the audio group. Can somebody enlighten me on how to do this? The only other useful thing I can think of saying is after running cat /proc/asound/modules, and creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and adding the lines as suggested, nothing changes. I am running Ubuntu Karmic, if that helps. Can anybody throw a few suggestions? Joseph. Hey guys.
