The idea here was to create multiple slide shows and display each one on a different page based on the path of the page and not the node id (because some pages are views)

First, the slide show is created with Views Nivo Slider module, and a content type setup with a multi value image field and a "path" text field where you type the path where you want to slide show to appear on. example: about-us

then you create the view using the views nivo slider setting, and make sure when...

Create a page, set the body input filter to PHP and paste the following code in the body. Add a menu link to your navigation or admin menu for easy access to clear the cache.

Solution...
in terminal:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

add this line to the very bottom:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5

save and restart :)

Everything else is working great, wireless works out of the box.

Still looking into the remote control. If anyone has any tips on getting the remote buttons to map correctly please comment.

This is very useful to display a block on everypage that visitors will see, but hide it from the admin and back end pages where it is unnecessary. Like when you need to remove a side bar block to make more room for admin forms and configuration settings.

admin/*
user/*
node/edit/*
node/add/*

Just want to document this as it was fairly difficult to find for some reason. Thanks to http://drupal.org/user/168664 for the solution:

simply add the following php without the php tags to your template.php and change the your-theme to your theme name.

Visit the theme page to reset the cache and you're done.

Change the path in the pathauto settings

goto /admin/content/node in the admin menu under content management -> content.

Filter the nodes as necessary to select the content you want to update.

check the select box at the very top left to check all of the boxes...or individually select the pages

Use the drop down menu to select "update URL Alias" and click update

Do that for each page of nodes, and you're done!
