Installation issues / Re: How?
« on: March 08, 2011, 10:13:03 pm »
Now we have come full circle to the OP. How do you edit that file and how much of the sources.list do you remove or replace. It will only allow the root to edit it how do you change that?  The instructions at this point are missing details for those of us who are well versed in linux.

Yes I am using it right now. Is this when I have to follow the Internet download instructions?

So now I have gotten this far and receive this message:

I think you are right it must be bad karma I set this up on a machine about 3 years ago and it downloaded and installed without a hitch perfectly. Now I can't get it to work to save my life.

I just downloaded LinuxMCE-8.10-23796-i386.iso 05-Mar-2011 00:14 3.5G | PASS 05-03-2011 I burnt it on a slower setting.

and installed it. After the first reboot it says " GRUB loading, Please wait."
ERROR 22.

Installation issues / How?
« on: March 01, 2011, 06:53:45 pm »
I have been looking for an all in one home automation and media server solution for a while so when I found LMCE I was amazed that it had everything I wanted. I hope to one day help the community develope it further. The only problem is I don't know my way around Linux so I need some help with the initial install.

1. I download and burn this LinuxMCE-8.10-23759-i386.iso 26-Feb-2011 00:13  3.3G 
2. Next Installed it and now I have the desktop. Can someone please explain how to do the next part.

"Internet Installation
Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 desktop release from http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/8.10/kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso) Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions. Note: If Kubuntu asks whether you would like to install/activate 'Restricted Drivers' for your video card, ignore it and continue to step 2.
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to contain only (from post http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10917.15 ):
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid  main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid  main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ replacements_debian  main
deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ 20dev_ubuntu  main

3. What is the command for this "Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates. "

4.What directory is the new installer directory? Grab the latest installer script from here, unpack them and change into the freshly created new-installer directory.

5.How do I do this "Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh."

 




Thank you for your help.

 I am looking for the most compatible parts and not necesaarily the most expensive.

Let's not talk about the gear that will give me problems tell me about the gear that people like because it works well for them.

I have looked at the user's setups and they don't really say if something works well or not.

What motherboard chipsets has the best Linux support, Intel, AMD, or Nvidia?

I have done a lot of reading about different hardware for this build and now I would like to hear peoples opions about their favorite hardware.

Don't think of "Ultimate" as expensive bells and whistles think of it as well rounded and stable.

Purps- That's good advice as with any build I like to just get enough of the machine together to get it woking and running stable first then add in the fun stuff later.

I will probably buy some gear from LMCE Compatible but I want to build the Core myself. Thanks for the responses keep'em coming!

I didn't expect there to be one machine that is perfect for LMCE. What I do want to hear about is what hardware is working for people and what isn't. When people are writing code do they have better success with Intel, AMD, or Nvidia? I would imagine by now there is hardware people avoid and harware they like thats what I want to find out why they chose what they have.

Hello Everyone, I have been reading about LinuxMCE for some time, and now I want to build a box that will take full advantage of LinuxMCE.

I want to stream content to different computers at each tv.
I want to run my phone line into the box.
I want to use it all of the home automation features including A/V equipment intergration.
I want use it as a DVR I have comcast Digital cable.
Lighting controls security camera feeds, everything.
I am planning on putting this box in my office and stream everthing to the rest of the house.

So my question to the LinuxMCE community is what will be the best hardware for the main LMCE box? Buy best I mean most compatible:

Motherboard/ Chipset:

CPU:

Tv capture card:

Video Card: Nvidia based

Sound Card:

IR devices: USB UIRT


Remote Controls:  Rii mini keyboard

Any additional add ons that you have found helpful or necessary would also be appreciated.

Thank you
