Hi,
I've upgraded Mythbuntu from 8.04 -> 8.10, mainly because my box seemed
to no longer be able to play DVDs.
Perhaps this was something to do with patching the kernel for UDF 2.5,
but I'm fairly sure I backed out to the old drivers successfully
(basically restoring the old udk.ko module that I backed up)
Anyway, I figured an upgrade would replace all that with a new kernel,
that can do UDF 2.5 out of the box.
The upgrade itself was fairly painless, and seamless, and (except what's
noted below) everything works ok.
Except I still can't play DVDs, can't even rip them!
The new X-windows keyboard manager prevents the ~/.Xmodmap from working
- breaking the Logitech diNovo Mini setup.
And sound on HD channels (e.g.: BBC HD) is now either: silent, static,
or ok for a few seconds.
It's basically a world of pain at the moment.
So ...
Can anyone suggest how I might go about diagnosing what's wrong with DVD
playback ?
or
How I can tell X to leave my bloody keyboard alone, just take modmap,
and get on with it.
I think the sound thing might be some performance issue or something, I
dunno. (or maybe this is part of the DVD playback problem)
a bit miserable,
