1  LinuxMCE / Installation issues / Re: Hauppauge HDPVR (1480) Gameplayer edition - any chance I can get it working? on: January 20, 2013, 12:02:35 am
Return it and get a support one.

He will have to return it to lmcecompatible then. soon to be lmceincompatible

The 1212 has been replaced by this version and my supplier was kind enough to send it without notifying me.
So we are hoping to get it working for the community.
Jamo was kind enough to offer his help in trying to get it working.

From my understanding there are issues with 1004 and the 1212 as well.

Jamo guess you were right. Wink

I use/recommend these amps http://lmcecompatible.com/#!/~/product/category=285320&id=867437  Auto on, Auto Off when not in use.

Can be daisy chained together for single source multi-zone and has second input override for multi-source multi-zone applications.

I use these auto on amps http://lmcecompatible.com/#ecwid:category=285320&mode=product&product=867437

Get an extra punch with these usb DAC's http://lmcecompatible.com/#ecwid:category=1615058&mode=product&product=6633130

http://lmcecompatible.com/#ecwid:category=285320&mode=product&product=1143865

Either work great as  a squeeze slave. Daisy chain the amps to have synced or independent audio in each zone.

Yes lmce works quite well in KVM

I have been running my 0810 in production for a couple years now.
use the  virtio drivers for best performance.

add three nics and you can run multiple test setups without messing with your production.
Use proxmox ve and it makes kvm setup a snap.
USB pass through works well for my zwave.

You can control the ramp rate on most z-wave devices as well.

As Hari said the mechanical switches all make some noise.

If portability is an issue  use http://lmcecompatible.com/#ecwid:category=2029122&mode=product&product=8642087
and yes this does click as well but fairly quietly.
This one reports on its energy usage as well.

You may want to consider Z-wave or one of the other newer technologies vs X10, X10 is subject to line noise and can be flakey at time in addition X10 devices generally do not report their state.
LinuxMce may be overkill, difficult to support, and there is the whole licensing issue. If you want a full blown media system you  may want to talk to Andrew at CHT,  Another option may be the Router based Mi-casa verde.
There are other systems out there as well, that may be worth exploring.

Feel free to PM me to discuss or ask your questions here.

Some how in general I think donations get overlooked in this community. Cry

With over 10k spent on testing hardware over the last several years.  lmcecompatible.com has not received one donation, that I recall. ( With the possible exception of platypus whose Tank Stick I still owe him)

And how many actually hit the donate button on the home page.

However I do thank those who have made purchases.

As far as  Dianemo they are available in North America and they probably could add support for what you need.
You do realize for commercial use you would need a licensed product like Dianemo.
lmcecompatible can also offer Dianemo licensed systems.

Happy donating

Tim

Have you tried deleting  freenas from your system and have lmce re-detect it. you may need to clear unkown devices.

Various pieces are not  the same in S1010 as they are in LinuxMCE  and LinuxMCE is not the same as the underlying buntu. especially when it comes to hardware detection and plug and play methods.  So you may want to check with CHT.  If I get a chance I will try to see what happens on my S1010 system. I think my old vera v1 stick still works.  I have others to test as well.

Try
nano /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2 index=1

Reboot

This should move the hda Intel to card,1 allowing the hdmi card to become card 0
Works for my GT210 Based ZBox

You should be able to install Ubuntu & then install the Kubuntu desktop with synaptic to "convert" your Ubuntu to Kubuntu. But may have to be sure you chose the Kubuntu desktop meta-package, instead of just installing the KDE parts. That uninstalls the Gnome desktop meta-package, installing KDM in place of GDM, etc. But it leaves the Gnome packages otherwise intact, except where they conflict with KDE. You might even get the Kubuntu splash screen on boot instead of the Ubuntu one,... not 100% sure about that.

LinuxMce  is very particular on what o/s /desktop, you may be able to patch together install that way ... but I think you're asking for trouble.
Why not just use the lmce DVD

just my 2cents

I just got a new computer with a 7300 Nvidea card and lmce 810 would not load.  I installed Kubuntu 10.4 and the lmce script and everything is working except the audio.  I know 10.4 is not supported but it looks like it might work.  I have been using Ubuntu for about three year.  Could I install Ubuntu and the lmce script?  I hear that Kubuntu may be going away and I don't want to spend alot of time learning a new OS if it is going to be leaving.  Any suggestions?

You must use kubuntu at this time.
Don't worry about kubuntu, most peple wont even see or use the kubuntu desktop.

I have mainboard ASRock A75M-HVS . Empty new disk 1,5 TB. Installation ends after cca 3 minutes in black screen :-( Steps done:
1. The only I can do is choosing language (left English). (Enter)
2. I choose Install MCE (Enter)
3. Graphic screen with shifting runner tells "Installing UBUNTU"
4. After cca 3 minutes black text screen and : "Busybox 10......." tipe help for available commnads.."
5. Donť know what to do with command line "Busybox". I expected smooth graphic installation as I am, used from SuSE Linux 11.x or other distros.
What to do now to install Linux MCE Huh (With other disk, Windows 7 MCE works). But I donť want run Windows  as MCE . Could you help please?

That motherboard is too new for o 0810 you probably will have better luck with 1004
Also the ATI graphics will not work optimally.
