I'm sorry, I don't have any knowledge about build systems. My interaction with build systems was short ... I only had to check their status every morning and if they were stuck I had to announce the admins. Daily I had to copy iso's of cd's or dvd's and install them. The windows binaries were already copied on iso files. Hope it's clear ... and again sorry

that was a mistake and discussed to death. Let's not warm up that old stuff.

br, Hari

Then maybe certain people (that clearly have no interest in this community) should quit bringing it up in here until things are fixed.

If you're talking about me ... you're wrong  I just stumblled on that website and searching the wiki i found thinks that looked very close to linuxmce.

and btw, I have a big interest in this community since I'm the one that worked on the UI1, UI2, mobile, pda variations on HADesigner. I was one of the pluto staff. No longer.

Installation issues / Issues with 0710 RC

« on: April 23, 2008, 01:20:39 pm »

The release candidate is available for download.

Please, please post any significant issues with 0710 RC so we can monitor it. Don't post here if you don't have relevant information. We're trying to find what things can stop us from releasing 0710.

Thank you

Installation issues / Re: 0710B3 media file sync not seeing nfs share

« on: January 31, 2008, 02:09:07 pm »

i think you need to run this script (or similar) /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Symlinks.sh

if you have a bit of linux exp I think you will manage to see the similar process for crating smb shares.
there are few scripts there associated with adding shares and internal drives, if you are curious just take a look.

Installation issues / Re: Orbiter won't activate

« on: January 31, 2008, 01:52:42 pm »

BTW - The CD installation for 7.10 (using the 7.04 instructions) tells you to right click the MCE_installer for the Kubuntu LinuxmCE install package but there is NOT link for this in the right click dropdown. The only way I could install this was to copy the CD ISO files to the Linux hard drive and follow the manual instructions. This is a hard start for a new user.

the page for installing a new 0710 will be updated imediatly we release it.
indeed the current page has the steps for LMCE and kubuntu 0704.

the process of installing the 0710 and betas is similar to 0704 and i may say 'natural', because you only need to install a clean kubuntu 0710, don't apply the security updates, download the CD's and install LMCE.
the installer it's found on CD1.

Installation issues / Re: Beta 3 issue: AMD64 Core and i686 MD

« on: January 31, 2008, 01:46:21 pm »

just a thought ... when the diskless setup doesn't start at that step (meaning you see: we announced ourselfves to the router and nothing else happens) means that the router isn't running or it's locked up.

i got this issue few times when i didn't wait the router to start (wait until Launch manager finishes all jobs, including starting orbiter) and i hurried to add my MD's. at this step because the router wasn't started the md's isn't added into db and the process to build a MD doesn't start.

Installation issues / DVD Region

« on: January 30, 2008, 03:11:11 pm »

From time to time this happens:
user complains that the DVD drive doesn't play any disk and/or the ripping also doesn't work. I've met this few times in the past - and in 95% of case it was the unset region ID plus region-protected DVDs, which are typical for US/Canada/Europe(?)

So, here is a short article now
