Installation issues / Re: Dianemo S: Big Fonts in LMCE Launch Manager
« on: May 20, 2012, 06:59:30 am »
Someone in this office found a fix, and his email reads like this:

Adding the following to xorg.conf fixed the font display for the LMCE Launcher.

Code: [Select]
        Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
        Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

This applies to the "nvidia" driver, but might work with others too. I haven't verified it though.

Speaking of versions, what version of Asterisk will 10.04 have? It would be great if it has the latest version (1.8.x) which can support GVoice. Currently running a separate VM for Asterisk since 8.10 has Asterisk 1.4.

Unless someone backported asterisk from oneiric (11.10), you get Asterisk 1.6.2.5. Asterisk 1.8 was only added in Oneiric.

See this link for package versions:

If your house is full of iPods, iPhones, and so forth, here's something interesting from Slashdot today: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/11/13/1841204/ios-app-acoustically-measures-distances-up-to-25-meters

As is customary with Slashdot, I haven't read the article, so it may not even be on topic :P

seeing as we are looking at options that are 'outside the box' you could set yourself on fire and use a 1-wire temperature sensor to detect you presence.

We need a Slashdot style "Funny" button :D

I poked Andrew for you today and he said he didn't receive any emails from you. He said he sent you another email today. Not sure where things break down.

From a theoretical point of view, at one point I wanted to know about a GPS-like solution where you put your own "satellites" around your house, say... one in each corner of each room... 4 per room if your rooms are shaped like a regular upright parallelepiped. I haven't quite found an answer, but somehow I know an amateur radio-electro-geek could build a HPS (Home Positioning System) with stuff from Radio Shack. :) It can double up as a GPS jamming device if you use the same frequencies, and enough power and error correction to overcome the HPS jamming signal coming down from orbit.

The logs are in /var/log/pluto and the log file will be named <DeviceNumber>_LIRC_DCE.log

Anyway, I guess a starting point would be Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_positioning_system and there's a lot to read there.

purpse,

where do you get 1,5m accuracy with GPS using civil equipment? I rarely get the 15m

My HTC Wildfire seems to hit me right on the head each time... while outside... in an open parking lot. Well... it hit me right on the head in London, ducked behind tall buildings too. And while moving at 100 km/h by train. I must have the military version :)

The init script will see the START_LIRCD="false" and do nothing.

There are a few things to check:

* is LIRC_DCE running?
* if LIRC_DCE is running, check the logs for these messages:

Code: [Select]
Added remote %s device %d layout %cand
Code: [Select]
There are no remote controls -- LIRC will be dormant
If you see the second message, you don't have a remote control setup in lmce-admin. You'll need to set one up. Normally, with a device of the "mce_usb2" template you also get a sibling device of the "Windows XP MC Remote" template.

When LIRC_DCE logs "Added remote", it found one of these sibling devices.

* if LIRC_DCE isn't running, you need to find out why: do you have a mce_usb2 device?, is the "Disabled" box unticked for the device?

Notice that, unless things were changed since I last looked in LinuxMCE, you still have to select "mce_usb2" device (i.e. not "mce_usb", nor the "mce_usb2 (MS)"). LIRC merged mceusb and mceusb2 back into a single driver (which my patch addresses), but LinuxMCE still knows about the old, split, drivers.

Please make sure you comment out the LogLevels line in /etc/pluto.conf so you get verbose logging. You need to reload the router after you make this change.

LIRC_DCE is supposed to write /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and start lirc, not Ubuntu. In Dianemo, hardware.conf isn't touched at all, so Ubuntu doesn't start lirc during its boot process. This should be the same in LinuxMCE.

Sound like either you haven't selected the mceusb2 remote for your MD (Media Directors page in the admin website) or LIRC_DCE didn't execute even once to create /etc/lirc/lircd.conf - that's why irw doesn't display anything. Check /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to see what's in it.

This being LinuxMCE, there's also a chance the system should have created the mceusb2 device using PnP, but do check.

I think maybe I am insane! Or maybe its you as this post says you committed a patch that should fix the problem.

Well... I did commit that patch, but I have no idea if it was packaged or not :) You can check to see if the "mceusb" module is loaded or not using "lsmod". Tha module is needed for things to work too, in addition to the things I ask to be checked. If it wasn't packages, then you may have to apply the patch yourself.

Sorry if I came out a bit strong with the insanity quote, I'm not in my best of moods these days. I'm still working on my "don't try to help people if your brain is on hold" idea :D

no lircd on mds and no command irw. there is an inputlircd process running as well as LIRC_DCE

'pluto-lirc-wrapper' (contains LIRC_DCE) depends on 'lirc-pluto', which depends on 'lirc' among other things.

irw is in package 'lirc'.

If you have LIRC_DCE running, 'pluto-lirc-wrapper' is probably installed. So where's 'lirc'...?
