Feature requests & roadmap / Internal network control
« on: December 10, 2011, 06:05:22 am »
I think it is possibly desired by many who have kids. It would be very helpful to have parental control on LinuxMCE which is home network gateway, to filter out unwanted content and/or have control when/where your kids computer can go. On one hand I understand that Linux community stand on position of openness to the world, on the other hand my 10-years-old kid was telling me how he landed up on the web site where naked man was showing his d...k and to all of us who have kids it is a problem. I don't have dip pocket by I willing to put some money behind some parental control to be built in to LinuxMCE.

Installation issues / Remote mapping in 1004 - please help
« on: November 27, 2011, 04:21:42 am »
Hi there!
Two things. First - my remote which was perfectly working with 710 now does not do half of the commands. When media is playing I hit "Stop" - nothing happen. Yet in the USB_UIRT log I don't see anything. When I hit "Power" playback stops. Also "chanup" and "chandown" in media browser list does not do anything - it used to scroll one page up or down. I verified they are in the database.
Second. I got new Dell MCE remotes and IR receivers. When I install mce_usb2 device it complains:

========== NEW LOG SECTION ==========
1       11/21/11 22:21:10       60 (spawning-device)    Starting... 47
1       11/21/11 22:21:10       60 (spawning-device)    Found /usr/pluto/bin/LIRC_DCE

01      11/21/11 22:21:10.736           Connect() Failed <0xb70846d0>

Where should I look to fix that?

Thanks a lot for all your guidance)))

Getting a black screen after starting device 21 has nothing to do with what the problem was before. I do not know what it is, but it is unrelated to the original problem in this thread.

@guliaka: If you are successful with 1004 feel free to use it. Just remember that we do not really care if we break things during dev atm, and we always upgrade ALL deb packages,i.e. apt-get upgrade will always install a couple hundred packages.


I have to use 1004 not because I choose it but because it is only one working for now! And I will be absolutely thankful if this one, the last one working, will NOT get broken!!

Installation issues / Re: New 1004 Installer Testing
« on: November 10, 2011, 06:54:18 pm »
1004 installed perfectly on Shuttle GX41, Intel E5700 CPU, 4 GB RAM last night. The only caveat was that it has Intel GPU and AVWizard could not start giving me "Failed to setup X" screen. I disabled "Xconfigure.sh" script per wiki and manually edit xorg.config.pluto.avwizard file by changing "vesa" to "intel" and uncommenting "BusID". After that AVwizard went through and everything is up and running. Orbiter runs on medium setting and 1080p movies playing just perfect.

It seems to me that 810 is dead. Last night I install 1004 on a brand new Shuttle GX41 box and it came up perfectly with few twiks. So I think that since 1004 has more potential it is much more promising to direct all efforts to complete 1004 to final version than try to fix 810....

After restarting the install from the beginning, and going through the AV wizard, the last visible message was something like ... starting device 21 onscreen orbiter ... and then the black screen returned ... again.  Argh / hmm ...

Same thing here with only difference I got grey screen this time in both places - in vm and on hardware (((

Hi guliaka. Maybe its a stupid question but are you formatting and reinstalling kubuntu between each install or are you just trying the install on the same kubuntu over and over again?

It is fresh install each time with partition format. Since I got local apt-mirror fresh install does not take long time. I use 810 final DVD and it takes from start to finish about 20 - 25 minutes...

Run apt-mirror update to grub all the changes last night and started fresh install into vm. Installation seemingly comes through but at the end I still have grey screen with no orbiter and Sarah never come to talk (((
Will try fresh install on hardware tonight....

After lots of muddling through our packaging database this morning I finally can report success. 810 final works again.

You do not need to re-download any ISO. Use the existing ISO, and it shall work again.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for all your effort!!! Will update my apt-mirror and give it another try tomorrow)))

Nope. You can try yourself in a VM whenever you feel like. The final iso is all you need.

Tried in VMware VM 3 times with same result. It seemingly goes through past firefox but orbiter never comes up....

Anything we cane help with to rectify this problem?? I also tried 1004. It goes much better but after all still messes up networking. Second NIC comes with MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and DHCP does not work....

As far as we can tell, the 0810 final ISO is currently non-functional, so starting over from scratch leaves us in the same state.  Grey screen at/after firefox with no ability to complete the installation process.


Same here, tried everything mentioned with no results...

Installed 1004 into VMware vm with no problems. Even selected UI2 high for fun and everything came up. Diskless MD came up as well.

Thanks for the ticket. The problem has been rectified and the next 810 build will contain the fix.

When can we expect next build available??
