HP Xw460c Remote Graphics Software 4.2.0 User Guide - Page 37

Getting Started with Remote Graphics Software Properly configured kernel headers for the running kernel must be available from the directory /lib/modules//build for proper installation. The example installation script provided only builds/installs for the currently active kernel. The installation and configuration scripts require administrator privileges on the target system. If you cannot become root on your system, ask an administrator for assistance. Once ALSA and JACK are installed and correctly configured, you are ready to use remote audio with the RGS Receiver for Linux. Audio Requirements For reliable audio support with the Receiver for Linux, the bundled version of the JACK Audio Connection Kit software must be built and installed. ALSA sound libraries must be HP-supported or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (release 4 or greater) versions for best results. Manual installation of prior ALSA libraries may yield unpredictable results on older releases of Linux. Do not mix versions of ALSA software. If multiple audio devices are installed in a system, administrators should identify the target audio system prior to installing the included ALSA software. Properly configured kernel headers for the running kernel must be available from the directory /lib/modules//build for proper installation. The example installation script provided only builds/installs for the currently active kernel. The installation and configuration scripts require administrator privileges on the target system. If you cannot become root on your system, ask an administrator for assistance. System Preparation It is recommended to remove all previously installed versions of JACK before installation. If the RPM package manager was utilized, then the packages are located by: • rpm -qa | grep -i jack Removal by RPM involves utilizing the above search results with: • rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches {pkg-name} The install script rgs_audio_support may detect residual directories from previous installations. Respond as prompted during installation. Customized Installation The following remote audio installation for Linux process is used when the RGS Receiver is installed (through the ./install.sh script). For those installations that require customization or wish to use other features from the rgs_audio_support script, here are additional details for its use. The audio support bundle ships as hp_rgs_4_audiosupport.tar.gz. It is accessed by the RGS install.sh script in /opt/hpremote or may be utilized for manual installations / RPM package building. 29
