Users / Re: Nice but early days for the software

« on: October 09, 2007, 05:31:51 am »

Blue installing hardware boxes constantly popping up in top left corner.

What is with that! Really grinds my gears. Surely it can do that in the background.

I have also been playing around with LinuxMCE for a few weeks now. I have to say that it is way too heavy for what I want to do.

Something like Elisa is what I am after GUI and functionality wise.

Great concept and the power to control anything in your house is pretty damn fine. If I had the money and a little bit more know how when it comes to linux, I would look more into this system.
Keep up the good work.

Installation issues / Re: NVIDIA installation failed

good god, why the hell are you guys circumventing all this stuff? you guys make it 50,000,000 times harder than you ever should!

Gee thx I will log that one away.

It doesn't hurt to post what has gone wrong. It might actually help someone down the track with a similar problem.

My Geforce 2 Ti finally gave in so I got a new graphics card this morning and as a result have re-installed with no problems.

Installation issues / Re: NVIDIA installation failed

I have the exact same problem.
Using a legacy GeForce2 TI

I install Kubuntu and run linuxmce from discs, follow the guide to the key go to install nvidia drivers thorugh wizard and it reboots... bam blank screen after kubuntu loading screen.

I re-installed kubuntu (7.04) and then install the nvidia drivers as I would in ubunutu (7.04) reboot and bam same deal.

I suspect it is becasue Kubunutu hasn't had it's updates downloaded and installed ( as the installer say to install with a fresh Kubunutu). So I am trying to install without the drivers and then will update later and see if it dies after a reboot again.

I will post back with my finding tomoz.

Users / Quick Question on Receivers/Transmitters

« on: September 25, 2007, 02:17:32 am »

Hey all
I am preparing to build a LinuxMCE. Looking at the google vids it looks sweet.

I have a Microsoft MCE remote and receiver.
Quick question has anyone had any problems using this device as a transmitter to control AV devices ?
Is anyone currently using this receiver/tranmitter and working fine ?
Or more to the point should I throw this receiver/transmitter to the nearest bin and get a USB UIRT.

any thoughts tips or links would be appreciated thanks
