valent, you won't be able to upgrade from 0810 to 1004 cause the LinuxMCE packages exist for Kubuntu 8.10 and 10.04 only and not for 9.04.

As I know packages available for 10.04 only. So, upgrade from 0810 is not possible I think.

As to whether we will make this capability available in the public svn & subsequently the LinuxMCE builds - yes the core libs will be early in 2011. As with other code we commit to the svn it will be GPL and open to anyone to hack/improve/extend as they think fit.

Andrew, I'd like to say a big thanks to you and your company for all improvements you do and give back to community! This is a really good example of relation between open source and business! And of course, the integration with Sonos and WD is awesome!

Installation issues / Re: Ubuntu 8.10 end of life breaks installer

Why do not host Ubuntu 8.10 repositories on the LinuxMCE server? In that case, we won't have such problems.

Feature requests & roadmap / Re: LinuxMCE and 1-wire

I tried to use OWFS and OWW with Plutohome. OWW worked fine as standalone solution for the weather station. But I couldn't integrate it with Plutohome. One idea was to run OWW GUI client as computing application. In any case even now LinuxMCE doesn't have weather screen.

Also note that there is a draft template for the 1-wire interface Linki45 in the device templates.

TIA

Let me explain what I meant with that screenshot. As you may see it's possible to specify status for the main device - motion detector in our case. Also it's possible to add some other devices in the event condition. But you cannot add the status or value for that device, i.e. ON, or OFF, or dimmer level.

Users / Re: Trying to add in a 2nd automount HDD (Hard Drive)

« on: August 27, 2010, 04:44:27 pm »

Sorry, the sheer amount of overhead that USB HDD's do to the system, coupled with the fact that with your method you lose virtually all of the features of the Pluto Storage Devices system, I can't recommend this for _ANY_ user. AT ALL.

Why do you guys feel a need to completely fuck up the system, and not try to fix the underlying problems?!

-Thom

Personally I don't have time, knowledges and desire to patch the Pluto Storage Devices system to properly support USB HDD. I just need to play media files from the attached HDD. Nothing more. The system work fine with my workaround without any fuck-ups. It really fucks up when I used the native storage functionality for USB HDD. Sure I don't push people to do the same dirty trick. If somebody would like to fix it - go ahead!

If you attach USB HDD to your core or MD why do you need some other features except read/write??? Only RAID I guess. But in any case sometimes it causes more troubles then advantages IMHO. BTW, I have both 1Tb USB HDD (got as a present) and 2Tb NAS (bought it two years ago). But to be honest  if I'd have a choice now between NAS and USB HDD I vote for USB HDD.

« on: August 27, 2010, 01:04:06 pm »

Can't really help, but what is the problem sending the ON command even if it already is ON?

In the most cases yes, it doesn't matter. But if the device uses one command to switch ON and OFF? Like TV, for example. Or another possible case if you'd like to check the status not just tripped sensor but plus status of some other sensor.

In the Advanced Scenario Editor you need to test the state of the sensor device and then take an action based on true/false - we sometimes use the state of a motion camera to do exactly that. you just need to find the right device to test against - it does work (very well).

I tried but didn't find anything like that. Maybe for motion camera it's possible but about simple devices like switch, dimmer, sensor etc?

USB HD's are not best practice in linuxmce, I thought.

Maybe but they're cheaper then NAS and they are quiet.

USB HDD tax the system a lot.

That's why I mount it by myself and not by LMCE. In that case it isn't produce any problem for the system.

install mythTV manually?
Do you know which packages failed, look at the wiki, the 0810 beta page.

With packages everything ok I added by myself skype and vlc into computing and they worked fine. But after some update they didn't run. But I can run them from KDE successfully.

VIM as IDE - http://mamchenkov.net/wordpress/2004/05/10/vim-for-perl-developers/

See my attached config if you're interesting:
 - F3 - check PHP script syntax;
 - F4 - check Perl script syntax;
 - F5 - run Perl script;
 - F8 - show/hide tags list (functions/methods/classes). You need the package ctags for that.
