Title: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Stash_CEO on November 03, 2013, 02:00:15 pm
I followed the instructions but am unaware of how to

Now you will need to decide on a skin. Eventually, this will be a cleaner process. For the moment, it isnt :) All skins live on the core and will be accessible from http://<your-route-ip>/lmce-admin/skins The following instructions are for the core machine. you may need to run these commands with 'sudo'. These commands will download a script written for your LinuxMCE core. It will setup and update the critical files needed while QOrbiter is in this beta state. Thank you for your patience.

wget http://langstonball.com/qorbiter/setupQorbiter.sh -O /tmp/setupQorbiter.sh
sudo chmod u+x /tmp/setupQorbiter.sh
sudo /tmp/./setupQorbiter.sh

Now your skins are installed.

can anyone help.  what do I do next.

I don't really understand what your problem is. After you've installed qOrbiter on any of your devices, a default skin is automatically presented. You can change the skin under the advanced menu.

when the orbiter loads it says its missing a skin file

so i figured I was missing the step in the quoted text above.

I don't know how to get to a terminal screen or ssh to input the commands

Hi Stash_CEO

nice bit software for a windows called Bitvise,  you can download this or alternative would be putty for  both linux and windows,

if your using  linuxmce kde then open the terminal and there same setting below apply  expect you don't add your ip.

login to the core by adding your core ip in the host box.

in the username  box add your user name, it will ask for your password

once you login
sudo -i

enter your password again and you will be in the dcerouter.

copy and paste each on command like below

Govo@dcerouter:~$ sudo -i

Hi Folks

looking more into the .sh file , the url http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/qOrbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml/android  is return a 404 error, hence the reason why the skin files are not downloading.

can this be looked at or  alternative link provided ?

realy like to  get this going .
Thanks

would it be possible for you to zip the android folder  of your system   and put it  on-line some were for us to download, while we wait the change over?

Govo,
    I was able to setup the web orbiter but unable to connect to it with the IOS App.  from the same ipad, I was able to connect to the web orbiter using safari, just not the app.  I did see that I had to create an "instance ID " which needs to be unique, but there was no way to input that ID into the IOS App. 
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Govo on November 09, 2013, 04:40:18 pm
Stash_CEO

Just put your  finger at the end of the Ipad hold it and drag up, it will give you options, such as configuration,
the settings for this should be
Core ip 192.168.80.1
port 3461.

also try Turing off the firewall in the lmce-admin see does this help.

if you access on the web browser then  its setup correctly on the core.
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Stash_CEO on November 11, 2013, 06:26:50 am
Success.  set the port to the correct number and voila. Ipad is good now lets see if we can get the qOrbiter working

Why cant you ssh?

No getting around needing to do these setup steps for mobile android qorbiters atm.

Hi Stash_CEO

Visit the link  I posted on your android tablet, It will start downloading and then it will install, if gives you a security error, follow the instructions on the tablet to allow  other apps to be installed.

You shouldn't have an issue using putty, can you  confirm  you are connect to the same network as the  decrouter? check you ip address is should be 192.168.80.* (* been 1-129)



Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Dap-P on November 19, 2013, 11:14:21 am
In addition to Govo,

Stash_CEO, can you ping the core? 'ping 192.168.80.1' from any terminal or cmd prompt from the same box as you are trying putty.

Post by: golgoj4 on November 19, 2013, 05:21:24 pm
You shouldnt need to turn off the firewall to access any of the orbiters unless you are trying to access them from the outside which I HIGHLY recommend against unless you have a vpn setup.
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Stash_CEO on November 19, 2013, 07:14:41 pm

Stash_CEO,
correct, unless you have an additional firewall, like me, my set up is

modem(internet) to firewall(smoothwall)  to dcerouter (firewall off)
dcerouter to switch,
switch to wireless switch,
wireless to all orbiters

On back of this, I  require some help,

I'm trying to update  the webOrbiter to  a new style, I have HA designer but I don't think this is what I need as I'm not creating any objects  just replacing the images, and all the links that are on wiki to show you how to use the HA Designer are broken.

I have gone through the weborbiter.php but I can't seem to find where is building the tables etc.

My new look is something like this http://www.piknclik.org/orbiter/ (http://www.piknclik.org/orbiter/) that I built in php, in order for me to have it as an orbiter skin I have modify some css styles  and replace those images from the basic skin.

So if any one can tell me where I find the correct php file that builds this skin or correct template /css files would be great.

And also if I  created a new folder for my skin, How do I add it, to the database so that I appears on drop down in the orbiter templates.


Kind Regards
Govo
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Marie.O on November 21, 2013, 04:18:40 pm
The original weborbiter uses the same layout engine as the Orbiter. So you have to utilize HADesigner if you want to manipulate it. If all you want are new images (with the same size and position as the original ones), you should be able to do it without HADesigner. There is thread in the forum about how to do this done by Thom. RayBe is using the instructions to create his own skins. You might want to utilize the search function a bit.

well, I was able at one point to get the ipads up and running but for some reason they're not working, my ssh to the core is not working and I'm getting a lil frustrated.  I'm not sure why I've had so many issue but I'm thinking of just starting over from scratch...this install was to get it working so I can get the jist of LMCE but maybe I've caused my own issues...so, maybe a clean install is the best action here. 
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Govo on November 21, 2013, 05:32:57 pm
 Stash_CEO, before you re-install, can  you explain how you have set up your network? and  does your core have to nics ?
Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Stash_CEO on November 21, 2013, 09:29:57 pm
2 nics...one internal and one external. on .80.1 and .1.xxx
verizon router>external nic>internal nic>8 port switch>access point for wifi orbiters

I had the ipad orbiters working at one point but may have screwed up the config or something so they say they're trying to load from core.  the Qorbiters have never worked but I think that's because I can't ssh into the core to aptget the skins.  I don't mind reloading everything because honestly this was more of a "how do I get this stuff to work" than an actually running in my live environment...guess I shoul've used Virtual Machine but that may have confused me more...anyway, I do appreciate you guys helping me out...I'm not that "thick" as Thom says, I do have a little IT knowledge.  I'm looking forward to getting all my issues resolved and showing off my smarthome.  Guess we'll have to wait a little longer.

Update:
I did a reinstall and now my Hybrid's video won't start, I went through the MD setup but vga is black.  anyway, I could finally ssh into the box but when I try to load the skins as directed in the wiki...I get access denied permissions error when trying to make a folder on the core.  Qorbiter doesn't work.  Web orb doesn't work for me either, I get to the login and choose which orbiter but it just is a broken link looking page with HOME BACK REFRESH EXIT LOGOUT.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? ???

on a better note, I got an MD setup although I'm having a problem changing channel on the Fios STB with the USBUIRT.

I have yet to setup the GC-100

1 Synology NAS and 1 Buffalo Terrastaion are fully operational.  thumbing through movies to watch is a pain but atleast I can view and play them.

I have a couple of Foscam IP cams that are waiting to be setup as well. 

Any help to get my orbiters up and running would be appreciated.

Title: Re: Qorbiter Help
Post by: Govo on December 04, 2013, 03:40:49 pm
did you sudo -i when ssh into the core.

you have to be in root when creating such folders.

you can change permissions for your user name to  have root access.  (not recommend)

I'm currently updating the admin section, I'm editing the  css style on a demo box, don't like the green drop down menus any more and I have given my admin section a  look  like the new wikki page .

to edit such file  I had to chown govo -R /var/www.   I know this might change some settings but its just a test server.

did you re-create the generic  web orbitor for the ipad? this will also work with the old android app

.

Post by: Stash_CEO on December 04, 2013, 05:39:54 pm
OK...so, I did a reinstall and it was finicky...I was using an amd mobo and after the Sara wizard setup I'd get a black screen....I could ssh into the box at that time but was getting a black screen...so I tried another reinstall and when I shut it off to turn back on, I got nothing...no post/bios startup screen...nothing...so, I left it for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden my network was back up...Strange?....so with all that going on I setup a seperate network and used an intel core duo box I had and now everything works.  I can ssh into the box but I was unable to create the folders...now I know to Sudo, thanks for that.  so far so good.  I have been able to setup the ipads via weborbiter but haven't tried the qorbiters yet.  So far I've been poking around trying to understand what i'm doing when trying to setup a room (MD, Fios Cable box, Blu-ray DVD player, and Plasma tv) all via USB-UIRT.

I've made major strides in getting this up and running and would like to thank everyone who has contributed to my small successes.

I look forward to the day when I can sit back and control the whole house with my orbiters. 

Once I get the AV part setup, I'm going to start the security phase (IP Cameras and Security systems)...Does anyone have a recommendation on Security panels, I'd like to use Z-wave.
