EDIT: Solution in #3 (At least in my case)
Hi all
I have just build a HTPC and decided to give Ubuntu a try.
Hardware:
Case: OrigenAE M10 (With a Soundgraph iMON IR/VFD)
CPU: Intel Core i3 530
Motherboard: Intel DH57JG
RAM: 2 x 2GB Kingston ValueRAM
SSD: Intel X25-M 80GB
My first attempt at Ubuntu was 9.10 (64bit). Installed without any problems at all, but as soon as I booted and GNOME loaded, the whole thing would lock up (no mouse or keyboard response).
Second attempt was 10.04 Beta 1 (64bit). Installed and everything seems to be working just fine.
Only problem so far is that I just can't figure out how to make lirc work with my iMON IR/VFD.
Well... That's not entirely true
I started searching for a solution and I found a lot of different solutions to the problem. After about 10 or 12 attempts I finally made it work. The LCD worked (lcdproc) and irw (and mode2) responded when I pressed the remote-buttons.
I wrote down the solution and reinstalled the entire system (messed around with a lot of other things).
The sad part is that the solution I found didn't work after all. The solution must have been some combination of all my attempts, but I have no idea what I have to do to make it work again
I have read that the iMON VFD device (ID: 15c2:0036) can be a real problem under Linux and now I know. But at least I KNOW it can work, just don't know HOW I did it)
Has anyone else made it work? I'm all out of ideas right now, and starting to get real frustrated...
