1.1 yavdr-full

A User wants to install yaVDR without customization and relies on full automation.

After installing a supported Ubuntu Server version and (if needed) setting up the network connection, the install script is downloaded and started.

The install script adds the ansible PPA, installs ansible and other basic dependencies and runs the automated installation process.

Several roles are used to tie everything together:

yavdr-common
installs the basic set of packages needed and preconfigures the system (package sources, package manager settings, entires for network ports, directory structure etc.). Also collects information about the system
autoinstall-ubuntu-drivers
uses Ubuntu’s automatic detection for additional drivers (e.g. proprietary nvidia driver, microcode updates, VirtualBox guest additions)
vdr
install the vdr package and required plugins
pulseaudio
install and preconfigure pulseaudio
yavdr-network
configure WOL, add nfs client capabilites, install avahi-linker
samba-server
install and preconfigure a samba server
nfs-server
install nfs-kernelserver and preconfigure nfs exports (and avahi-announcements)
autoinstall-satip
install vdr-plugin-satip if a Sat>IP server has been found
autoinstall-targavfd
install vdr-plugin-targavfd if display is connected
autoinstall-imonlcd
install vdr-plugin-imonlcd if a matchind display is connected
yavdr-xorg
install and configure a systemd user session with a running X-server. A frontend script will manage VDR’s frontend and other applications like KODI. Also choose the best possible output plugin.
grub-config
update grub configuration based on executed roles

1.1.1 Using vdr, pulseaudio and xorg together

2 Introduction

One of the major problems we faced with customized Ubuntu ISO files as installation media for prior yaVDR versions has been the limited hardware support and the time consuming process to create and update them. An interesting alternative to this approach is to enable the user to choose the installation medium by himself, so point releases, kernel versions and additional drivers can be chosen deliberately. After the basic setup is complete (and a working internet connection is available), a fully customizable install script completes the yaVDR installation.

3 Installing and configuring yaVDR with Ansible

This is an experimental feature which allows to set up a yaVDR installation based on a normal Ubuntu Server 16.04.x installation using Ansible.

This Manual is written in org-mode for Emacs and can rewrite the complete ansible configuration if you call org-babel-tangle from within emacs.

To use this playbook on a Ubuntu Server Installation you need to run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/yavdr/yavdr-ansible.git
cd yavdr-ansible
git checkout bionic
sudo ./install-yavdr.sh

We use a callback to generate tags for all roles autmatically:

[defaults]
callback_plugins = plugins/callbacks
callback_whitelist = auto_tags
ansible_managed = *** ANSIBLE MANAGED FILE ***
  template: {file}

3.1 Install script for local usage

set -e
if (( $EUID != 0 )); then
    echo "This script must be run using sudo -H or as root"
    exit
fi

# update packages
apt update
apt -y install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible-2.6

# install required packages
apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends ansible python-jmespath

    # Keymaps table
    #
    # This table creates an association between a keycode file and a kernel
    # driver. It can be used to automatically override a keycode definition.
    #
    # Although not yet tested, it is mented to be added at udev.
    #
    # To use, you just need to run:
    #       ./ir-keytable -a
    #
    # Or, if the remote is not the first device:
    #       ./ir-keytable -a -s rc1         # for RC at rc1
    #
    
    # Format:
    #       driver - name of the driver provided via uevent - use * for any driver
    #       table -  RC keymap table, provided via uevent - use * for any table

7.10 yavdr-xorg

7.10.1 About the GUI session

The X-Server is started by using the two systemd units xlogin@.service and x@.service provided by the package xlogin. The former is enabled (and started) for the vdr user - which results (using the default settings for the user vdr with the uid 666) in the activation of xlogin@vdr.service when reaching the graphical.target. To simplify starting and stopping the X-server and the desktop session a yavdr-xorg.service is provided by the package yavdr-xorg, which depends on the two units mentioned before.

x@vt7.service is started automatically as a dependency of xlogin@vdr.service and starts the X-server. xlogin@vdr.service also starts a systemd user session using user@666.service. In order to use the keyboard layout configured during installation for the X-Server the script write-x11-keyboard-config reads the keyboard configuration from /etc/default/keyboard when starting x@.service and writes the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf (because systemd for Ubuntu (and Debian) has been patched not to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf according to the localectl settings).

To prevent stopping the X-server when vdr is running, additional dependencies are set up - see the drop-in rules created in /etc/systemd/system/vdr.service.d/.

Basic Services like the session DBus, pulseaudio etc. are started for the default.target of the session. The openbox autostart script is used to update the systemd session with the needed session variables. It creates a file ~/.session-env which is used as an environment file by vdr.service (so the vdr knows the DISPLAY and can access pulseaudio).

The autostart script then enables all services to be pulled in by yavdr-desktop.target. As the last step yavdr-desktop.target is startet, which results in staring yavdr-frontend.service and additional Units for a second display (openbox and a browser for osd2eb, if available).

In order to achive a clean shutdown of the session, x@t7.service is set as a dependency of the systemd unit instance user@666.service and all processes within the session must be shutdown properly when stopping xlogin@vdr.service. If systemd units are used within the user session, they must stop their process(es) successfully (you should set them up to accept expected exit codes appropriately). The window manager openbox is started using the ~/.xinitrc and stopped using the systemd unit exit-wm.service (which runs on stopping the jobs pulled in by the default.target of the session).

  4. intel.yml

    KMS drivers (like for intel (i915) and amd (radeon)) require additional configuration beneath a customized xorg.conf - for a „static“ output configuration (which works if the TV or AV receiver is not turned on) we need to force loading the display(s) EDID early during the boot process.

    This task therefore performs the following actions after the xrandr detection has been executed:

    • create an initramfs-hook to copy the EDID(s) into the initramfs
    • get the connector names and match them to the ones determined by xrandr

7.30.3 files

Those configuration files provide a preconfiguration for kodi which overrides the system wide configuration

  1. Lircmap.xml

    This file allows to map keys sent by remotes via eventlircd (which uses the name devinput) to kodi key names.
