Title: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: mike-b on December 03, 2009, 10:13:05 am
During ./mce-install.sh I get the message that pluto-orbiter failed to install due to missing dependencies, notably pluto-avwizard and xine-ui.

Obviously orbiter doesn't start up. It's a hybrid setup with a fresh install of 8.10 (internet install). When X starts I get some huge text flashing on the screen "installing" a bunch of packages (including the ones mentioned above). And then a blank screen. avwizard has never appeared at any point.

I've manually installed pluto-avwizard, xine-ui, and pluto-orbiter, which seemed successful, and when it boots into X I get a window with the title "Failed to connect to DCE router"?

How do I fix this, and how can I make avwizard start so that I can make the appropriate settings?

I have the same problem. How can I manually install pluto-avwizard and other stuff? Linux is pretty new to me. What are the commands to do that?

tnx

guys, do yourselves a favour and get the beta2.
So far I can say a lot of good things about it

Same problem.

get the beta2.
I (we) use internet install (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_beta#Internet_Installation).
Should this not mean that we get beta2 - or rather simply the latest and greatest?

I also tried to install the beta2 from DVD. Got this yesterday via torrent. Burned the .iso image but it brings many errors. Not sure if this is my DVD-drive or the .iso file. Thats why I tried installing via web again. :-(

Same here, after having  a working beta1 setup (net) decided to upgrade, which borked my test system. Downloaded the beta 2 iso which is, during installation, complaining about missing packages (xine etc)

I have the same problem as the topicstarter
Did the net-installation 6 times now, and it get's stuck at that point.
Thought I had faulty burner or something, but seeing I am not alone, I am retrieving it from the bin.

I've run into what sounds like the same problem.
upgraded from Beta1 to Beta2 - all pkgs seemed to update correctly on the core.

Meanwhile I've been fighting with an MD failing to boot so decided to re-run Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh so I'd have the latest image for a re-build of my MD image

Somebody made a ticket??
Seems like a valid bug, and no quick solution avalaible.

Update1
Made a ticket
Update 2
Maybe the new net install files will work, going to give it a try
Keep you posted

Post by: bongowongo on December 03, 2009, 06:27:33 pm
Not to be a wiseguy, cannot check at the moment.
But why wouldn't it be?
Just followed the wiki as I did with alpha and beta1
Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: coley on December 03, 2009, 07:10:29 pm
In my case I may have removed the avenard repo as it was causing problems with the myth install.
There is another post http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9232.0 (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9232.0) where the avenard repo is removed and it didn't cause Viking an issue.

I've since put it back into my sources.list.
No extra packages added after an update/dist-upgrade on the Core, but the diskless image create script is downloading a heap more, will update here once the script completes.

I had this problem exactly and it was because the avenard 'release' repo was not in /etc/apt/sources.list it was in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/avenard.list (I had put it there manually during alpha days and upgraded to beta2)...  This causes the DisklessCreate_TBZ.sh to fail.  Put the avenard repo /etc/apt/sources.list as posde says and it worked like a charm!

No it wasn't, I've added it and mce-install.sh seems to be getting much further. I guess this step should be mentioned in the install wiki? Also worth putting in there would be the steps to configure the nvidia drivers, and the different versions required: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

I've just seen http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz has appeared now as well. I'm sure it wasn't there yesterday when I looked for it. I will give that a try in a couple of hours.
Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: freaky on December 03, 2009, 07:57:51 pm
I can confirm that. 24 hours ago there was still the old installer file online. I will try the new one instead!

Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: Marie.O on December 03, 2009, 08:43:41 pm
Yes, the installer archive has been updated a few hours ago. It contains a few fixes, especially with regards to the repo.
Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: mike-b on December 03, 2009, 08:56:01 pm
Right, I've got past that now by adding in the avenard repos.

AVwizard went OK, and I setup the screen etc. Now when it starts I get a window with the title "Orbiter cannot register with the router. Please try again later". I've searched the forum and found some very old discussion on this, that said the fault was due to asterisk being disabled. On my machine asterisk is defnitely running. It might be that I've screwed up something else with my tinkering, so if it's not an easy fix I may be better to reinstall (at least I will be working with the very latest installer then as well).
Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: janka on December 03, 2009, 10:10:11 pm
Great. I'm running the new installer now, and am past the point where the old one hang.

Onwards to the next problem... :-)

Installing worked. To my knowledge no problems.
Trying DVD install next.
Title: Re: pluto-orbiter failed to install?
Post by: mike-b on December 04, 2009, 10:54:52 pm
Started from scratch (3rd time), and it worked this time (due to adding the extra repo).

Thanks for the help - I'll be back soon when I get stuck on the next bits!  :D

Couldn't get it to work with internet installation also.

Seems to install everything fine, I even can run the AV Wizzard, but after rebooting all I get is a grey screen with the mouse pointer..... anybody has similar Problems?

the http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9548.0 topic shows a workaround.

In my case the msttcorefonts package doesn't work.
The sourceforge mirrors where the font files are supposed to be isn't working.

I found a workaround to fix the package using the japanese sourceforge mirror, by editing:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/msttcorefonts.postinst

replacing it with this code:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

#Version: 1.0

#currently broken msttcorefonts package for Ubuntu 8.10

#Clean up
cd ~
rm -r /tmp/mscorefonts

after editing the file, I re-install the msttcorefonts package manually with
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts before running the LinuxMCE install scripts.

But it appears that when installing the pluto-orbiter package the install script re-downloads the broken msttcorefonts package again, overwriting my msttcorefonts.postinst workaround.

..thus causing said error again.

I believe that by fixing the msttcorefonts package the issue can be resolved.

However I don't know how to do it.
