Hi, being on an Alix Board and unable to use startX/XWindow I´d like to hopefully get confirmation, I´m doing this right:Dynobot wrote:look in the /etc directory you will see another directory called init.d, within it you will se a file with mpd in the name, open it and on line 30 uncomment the line for nicebonalux wrote:
Forgive my ignorance, but, I cannot find the init.d file you were talking, in the init.d directory can't find the file to define the priorities, can you please give me the path?
Thank you.
Via Putty I followed Idolse´s instructions in an earlier post (in the old Mpdpup thread) to get to the line for nice:
".....for some reason some hardware doesn't like 'nice' which I've been using to give MPD higher system priority. If this is the case type this command at the CLI:
Code:
nano /etc/init.d/20.mpd
Find the line that says:
Code:
nice -n 15 mpd..." (I found this by typing "Ctrl + V" to get to the next page of the file).
- I uncommented by deleting the "#" in the beginning of the line
- deleted "15" and replaced with "-1"
- ending up with a "nice" line saying: nice -n -1 mpd
(saving and exiting Nano by typing "ctrl-X to exit" and 'Y' to save the change)
Is this correct?
On a sidenote, do any of the Alix and/or usb-powered Dac users use optimized power-supplies replacing wall-wart/usb-power (regulated or battery power)?
Finally thanks to Idolse and the contributors of this thread. MpdPup is for me the best sounding, most versatile and (after initial reading and trial/error) trouble free Pc-based music player (not to mention free too!)
