Users / My orders are coming...
« on: October 30, 2007, 08:35:00 pm »
Ok, After piddling with lmce since version 1.0, I finally decided to put it together.

I  have a whackload of insteon devices due today (at least that's what the tracking says)

Quote
1 x 2400LG  SwitchLinc Light Pipe Kit, Green, 8-PK (Hot Deal!) 
2 x 2401L  KeypadLinc LED Kit, 4-color (Hot Deal!) 
4 x 2476D  INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer, White (Hot Deal!) 
1 x 2476DH  INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer (High Wattage) (Hot Deal!)   
1 x 2476S  INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay (Non-dimming), White (Hot Deal!)   
2 x 2486D  INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer (Hot Deal!) 
1 x 2493  INSTEON Keypad Dimmer Scene Lighting Starter Kit 
1 x 31270  EZRain INSTEON/X10 Sprinkler Controller 
1 x 31272P  EZBridge IP to INSTEON/X10 Bridge w/ PLM   

This was ordered from smarthome.com

Also, I have these items coming from Fiire:
Quote
1 x Fiire Chief
Option's
*USB Dongles : 5 (to use remote in 5 rooms)

1 x Fiire Station (2.2" wall mount or set-top box)
Option's
*Default Video Connector : DVI/HDMI
*Default Video Standard : NTSC
*Gyro remote : 1 Fiire Chief + wireless keyboar

1 x Fiire Station (1" thick Vertical Mount)
Option's
*Default Video Connector : DVI/HDMI
*Default Video Standard : NTSC
*I/R receiver/remote : I/R Receive/Transmit learning/do

1 x Fiire Engine
Option's
*I/R receiver/remote : I/R Receive/Transmit learning/do
 

All this is to complement my existing X10 infrastructure, existing media directors, etc...

I have a simple question though:  I understand PeteK's working on insteon support..  I take it that is support for the PLM (Power line modem)

What about support for the EZBridge IP to Insteon/X10?  It looks pretty straight forward, communication is handled via a open socket to a port, and all commands/responses are in xml format...
anyone using this yet?

Please comment on this setup...

(I also have a plethera of other hardware, 4 IP Cameras, 2 Intel servers, Satelite DVB x 3, Emp Centauri 9x8 Multiswitch, etc, etc, etc,

Cheers!

Installation issues / Anyone know how to do an uninstall??
« on: June 16, 2007, 05:35:59 pm »
I've reinstalled the Kubuntu way too many times... is there any way to uninstall linuxmce?
what all needs to be removed in order to do a fresh install on the same OS?
SQL Database, Myth Database?

I've tried re-installing on top, that's bad... :)

Thanks ahead of time,

Dan

all seems to go fine, until it tries to install flashplugin-nonfree...

it then goes out to fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/z (the rest is off screen)
   => './install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz'
resolving fpdownload.macromedia.com.. 72.246.110.70
connecting to fpdownload.macromedia.com[72.246.110.70]:80... Co (off screen again, assuming it meant Connected)
HTTP request sent.  Awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 2,609,703 (2.5M) [application/x-gzip]

  0K........... ........... .......... .......... ...........s
50K...........
and continues like so until 2.5M...

Now the problem is the transfer rate is SUPER slow as in 200 bytes per second...

I've been waiting for an hour now, and it's at 125K...

help!??!

Thanks,

Dan
PS, I've reported this already but can't seem to find a work around...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Installation issues / Very Interesting...
« on: May 16, 2007, 08:28:29 pm »
I'm at 25.91% downloading the torrent,
When I started downloading, there were 6 peers, now there's 21...
looks like a few people are downloading!  hehe
The more, the marrier! (and faster)
Just don't forget to keep seeding it once you get it.. (help others out)

Installation issues / Here's my how-to for everyone out there...
« on: May 03, 2007, 05:55:12 am »
Ok, I've been through many, many, MANY problems with linuxmce... quite a few of them are also experienced here by other users, so I thought I would put together a small "what works for me, what to stay away from"

I'm writing this as I go, cause I broke my install by screwing with the repositories... just a note, don't do that...
just like everyone else, http://deb.plutohome.com/20dev_ubuntu main returns error 404...  I tried playing with that and really broke my config.
SO, here we go again. :)

I have been able to get most of it working...  here's my setup:

EVGA NVidia SLI motherboard (can't remember the model)
  it has dual gbit nics, Intel Pro2Duo
GeForce 6600
SATA DVD ROM
SATA 320GB HD
Bluetooth dongle
HP IPAQ 4155 (wifi and bluetooth)
3x GADSPOT 1600H IP Cameras
1x GADSPOT 9603 IP pan tilt camera
CM11A X10 controller
X10 throughout house..

D-Link DI-524 Router, D-Link 1120G (Viop) and a bunch of computers, etc.

Ok, first, My VOIP router plugs into broadband, Dlink router into VOIP router, this allows the rest of my network to continue to operate while I play.
MCE box plugged into DI524 with ETH0

Boot and install ubuntu 6.10 Desktop

*** don't try mixing SATA with PATA - you'll get frustrated.. keep it either all PATA or all SATA... I ended up bying a SATA DVD RW because of these frustrations...

that said, once ubuntu is installed from CD, reboot, and then do all the software updates. DO NOT update to 7.04!

Grab another cup of coffee... drink it, and wait.

once you have ubuntu 6.10 updated and good to go, then go to www.getautomatix.com and install automatix.

This really helps installation of codecs and video card drivers.

ok, I'll update this when my ubuntu is finished installing... TTYL

(BTW, if you follow with me, it should work, I DID have it working quite well, bear with me...)

Couple of other parts I remember:  Install a hybrid, booting to ubuntu by default... I tried all the other combinations, got lots of errors, HAL errors, etc.  This was the only config I managed to get working.

Ok, will update in a bit.

Ok, I've got a bunch of stuff (gadget freak) so let's first go over what I have:
Machine 1 (going to be CORE + MD)
EVGA NForce 680SLI Motherboard
GeForce 7600GT Video card
2GB Ram
320GB SATA HD
SATA DVD ROM
Linux 6.10 + mce
mobo has 2 gbit nics

Machine 2 (going to be MD, PVR for DVB-S)
EVGA NForce 680SLI Motherboard
GeForece 7600GS Video Card
1GB Ram
320GB SATA HD
SATA DVD RW

Machine 3 (going to be MD for Master Bedroom)
ASUS DIGIMATRIX

Machine 4 going to be portable MD
DELL INSPIRON 9100 Laptop (with bluetooth) 802.11abg

Machine 5 Going to be Portable MD
Apple Macbook Intel Based, OSX TIGER (with Bluetooth) 802.11g

3 x  Gadspot IP Cameras fixed, Day/Night capability
1 x Gadspot Pan/Tild Camera Day/Night Capability
VOXCOM Alarm Panel , 2 Door Sensors, 2 Window Sensors, 1 Motion Sensor
X10 throughout whole house, lights, appliances, etc.

In Living Room I have:
Samsung 67" DLP
Sony Playstation 3
Pioneer VST-1015 AV Receiver (all the bells and whistles, select2, thx, dolby everything)
Starchoice Satalite receiver DVR-530 (this is a PVR built into the receiver, needs 2 lines out to the quad LNB to record and watch at the same time.. internal hard drive, sadly, only 1 HD out)

In Bedroom I have:
Prima 36" LCD Flat Screen TV
Starchoice Satalite DVR505 - HD, no pvr

DVB-s cards are TWINHAN 102G (dual) both with remotes
also have a happauge PVR-150 MCE Edition (with the Dual IR Transmitter)
Sony HDV Camcorder (firewire output)
Bluetooth (will) be everywhere..
Current mobile devices:
Blackberry Pearl (Bluetooth)
Motorola Razor (Bluetooth)
HP Ipaq 4150 Windows Modile 2003 (Bluetooth and wifi)

5 port 100Mb/s Switch (currently connected to 4 ip cameras and a downlink)
DI-524 Wireless Router
Dlink 8-Port Gb switch

I'm sure I've forgotten some things...

back to basics here...
have Machine 1 installed with Ubuntu MCE seems ok

have the background images UI with antialiasing xv driver
tried to dump some media on for testing purposes..
put a movie in public/movies, that worked, but no way of controlling it using the built in orbiter
(portable devices not set up yet - whoa, one step at a time!!! :)
put a bunch of JPG's in a pictures folder,
MD (core) sees them, but when I try to "play" them, I get a message saying that no playback module available for playing this type of media.... it's a darn PICTURE!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ok, I'm calm again.  Any thoughts on how to view pictures on the core MD

Second situation:  I think I know the answer to this one, time will fix it...  the second machine (almost identical to the first) can't PXE boot from the first, NVidia NIC's
How do I go about building a Boot CD for this workstation so simulate PXE boot?

Third Situation:  Building a boot CD for the Digimatrix - it doesn't support PXE

on a good note, I was able to PXE boot my dell that's all fine, that was on a previous install - got the GSOD and had to reinstall from scratch, so I'm holding off on installing any more MD's until I can get 1 working properly


Fourth situation, have all the IP cameras configured for DHCP to the DCERouter, they all get 192.168.80.x addresses
programmed in their macs into Generic IP camera...
set the filepath to /GetData.cgi (stream mode)
don't know what IP's are being assigned to the cameras - how do I check?
any other hints about getting the IP surveillance cams working would be helpfull
My Wife has her laptop out of country, so can't do anything with the mac for now.

FYI, I'm using a CM11A (not hooked up yet) and a generic security alarm panel
I'll get the alarm panel later, it's got lotsa config both on the panel, and on MCE Protocols, messages, etc.

got lots more PC's and printers, etc, to get hooked up too.. but 1 at a time here, to get past the learning curve.

should be a nice setup if I can get it all working, X10 curtains are a nice touch in the living room

ok, my 2 cents..
Help!  if you can... thanks

Dan

Anyone attempt this yet?  Feisty is supposed to have more media capabilities.. just wondering if they may conflict..
If nobody's tried this setup, I will attempt it.. :O

Hi all.. Love this project!  I will be building a new box asap.  Currently, I'm running x86_64 ubuntu :(

a couple quick questions:

I have 2 DVB-S cards in the basement
1 HD DVR (Starchoice) in the living room with a 67" DLP
1 HD Receiver (starchoice) in the bedroom) with a 36" LCD TV

Is there any way to run multiple servers? or can an MD stream to a server while viewing another video?

I also have a DigiMatrix waiting to be set up
Other equipment possibilities I would like to integrate:
Blackberry Pearl (remote?)
Motorola Razor (Wife's remote?)
My Laptop (Dell Inspiron 9100)
My Wife's Laptop (macbook)
Pocket PC HP4150
Sony HDR-HC1 HD Camcorder
Sony TRV-510 DV Camcorder
3xGadspot IP daynight security Cameras
1x Gadspot PT IP Camera
sprinkler system
x10 (throughout whole house)

(I'm a gadget kinda guy :))

Once I get started, I'll keep you posted on my success

Dan
