Title: 0810 installation problem
Post by: flying on July 04, 2009, 09:08:35 am
When I install 0810 according to step 1~5 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2), some packages were failed during download, is there a way to do compensation instead of re-install again? Such as following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Package pluto-orbiter failed (/tmp/tmp.kjMwK10754) - We wait 10sec and try again - to stop retrying press Ctrl-C.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-orbiter: Depends: pluto-confirm-dependencies but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: pluto-sdl-helpers but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: pluto-x-scripts but it is not going to be installed

I am using broadband download from cn.archive.ubuntu.com, it's very slow, can I manually modify the sources.list point to archive.ubuntu.com instead of cn.archive.ubuntu.com?

Finally download was finished, unfortunately, the Orbiter cannot connect to DCERouter. I have istalled with the same configuration few days ago which works good(http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8459.0), I think there might have some changes happened. Details as following:
1. 2 NICs were installed
2. The output of ifconfig show:
eth0's IP is 192.168.2.3  //which got IP from my Router 192.168.2.3
eth1's IP is 123.129.254.12

But the contents in interfaces under /etc/network is following:
 iface eth0 inet dhcp 
 iface eth1 inet static
      192.168.80.1

Could someone help me figure out what's the problem? I really don't want to spend more than 20 hours to reinstall 0810:-(

Post by: colinjones on July 05, 2009, 04:42:12 am
Well that's definitely your problem! Very strange, they should be the same... your ifconfig should also say 192.168.80.1 for eth1

Have you any idea where the 123. address comes from? It seems to be a public address in China somewhere (Shadong province). Does that mean anything to you??
Title: Re: 0810 installation problem
Post by: flying on July 05, 2009, 05:02:41 am
I did following change by deleting eth0 in netmask, the IP for eth1 changed to 192.168.80.1, but Orbiter still can not up.

File change:
-----------
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet static
      address 192.168.80.1
      netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 <-- Deleted eth0

Yes, I am in Shandong province now.

Seems the dcerouter IP still is 123.129.254.12 even the eth1's IP is 192.168.80.1

tracert 123.129.254.12
1 dcerouter.local (123.129.254.12)  0.056ms 0.024ms 0.023ms

Seems this IP was stored somewhere(DB?), do we have method to change it?

Well it couldn't just know that or be a coincidence, it must be getting the address from your provider somehow! Is your network set up like this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Network_Setup ? And your eth0 points outwards to the Internet and eth1 points inwards to your "internal" network? You are using an ADSL broadband modem in router mode not bridging, yes?

My configuration as following:

The eth1 did not connected to any cable, just left blank.

Same problem happened to following configuration too:

Check /etc/hosts and make sure it doesn't have an entry for this IP address, also check your routing table doesn't refer to that address or subnet. You can use pastebin.com to paste the output of route -n into and then paste that URL here. Do the same for the contents of your hosts file.

I am using above configuration in home, ADSL is in company, so I paste things here:

I don't know what has happened to it. The route is there and normal because your interface has the 123 IP address. There is no point trying to change the route because it is simply reflecting the IP address. You need to get the IP address changed. Go to your LMCE web admin and go to the network settings, change that eth1 interface to 192.168.80.1

Once that interface reverts to the correct IP the correct route will be added and the incorrect route will be removed. Untill then you will not be able to connect to 192.168.80.1 as there is no valid route. If that doesn't work, I think something is really screwed up and you will have to reinstall.

I am trying reinstall now by connect my computer directly to broadband through PPPoE, but failed again when execute "./mce-install.sh" which complain no pluto_main DB. I retry again now.

One question:
Should I pick up
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha2.tar.gz
or
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz according to(http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2)?

Hi,

Your log cut off at

Setting up pluto-createdevice (2.0.0.44.0901260810) ...

Did you download the latest.tar.gz file?

I noticed this...

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld       
[ OK ]

and

Selecting previously deselected package pluto-sample-media.
(Reading database ... 90014 files and directories currently installed.)

where my install has ...

mysqld [157G  & [151G

and 103126 files and directories for pluto-sample-media.

In fact, all my files and directories are larger.

Yes, I use the latest.tar.gz, still encounter problem, what should I do?
1. The first failure is:
* Starting DHCP server dhcpd3
* check syslog for diagnostics.          [fail]
2.

Hi,

I guess we will have to go back and start at step 1.

When you downloaded the Kubuntu 8.10 i386 version desktop release did you do a md5sum?

(Did it match 82c02dc7386dfb6858a9ec09a5059e1e *kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso?)

I used a CD to install the Kubuntu0810, and I used this CD had been setup the 0810 in last week.


I killed this process and it will continue the install, don't know the result.

I was getting the same message after 8 installation attempts and I doubt that this was the issue, but i tried swapping the ethernet cables between the onboard and pci ports and said a few Our fathers, sacrificed 3 goats and a 6 pack of guiness(ok 5, i drank 1), went to church and it finally completed the installation.  Of course another issue followed and i had to "solve" the blank screen issues by booting into recovery mode and changing video settings.  Now i have issues with my MD, after wizard setup it gets to a point of saying
