For some time now, for many of us, the Core Media Director's Orbiter has been a real "Pain in the you know what" and, so far, no one seems to have a handle on it.
I don't need the Core's Orbiter because my Core sits in a closet, not connected to anything more than a VGA monitor, not needing the Media Director's functions. I've asked this question before and got no responses.
How do I modify the start procedure to start the Core ONLY! The Alpha2.36 stated under one of it's updates, (lmce-launch-manager (298,299)) "Fixing startup mode for running core only", so, How do you do it?
Thanks,
Charles

Hi Charles,
There are to ways to do this:
1: If you have your system up and running (and up to date) you edit your /etc/pluto.conf file and set autostartmedia = 0
2: If you are going to install a new system edit mce_wizard_data-(single/double)_nic.sh and set c_deviceType=1 (1=Core, 2=Hybrid, 3=DiskedMD)
Also if you read the release notes from 2.36 under pluto-boot-scripts (234) it states:
- Do not start X, if AutostartMedia in pluto.conf is not 1
I would go for the first solution it seems that if you are running mythtv the backend does not get installed plus you might want to run mythsetup.
I had similar issues with VDR.
