My ol' iPAQ (I think it is 8970) also only has BT. Can the UI be used with BT or does it have to be WiFi.

I have the cradle for my iPAQ so I can very well use a WiFi pcmcia card with it but it get so "fat" then.

I thought of buying a 7" touchscreen and clone output to it so I dont have to switch on the projector to be able to play music. But using my old iPAQ that just collects dust anyways would be very nice.

Installation issues / Re: NVIDIA 7600 Installation issues

Still having the same problem with the microscopic font in KDE. I've played around with the DPI settings in the /usr/pluto/bin/Start_X_Wrapper.sh script to no avail.  I am also no able to get any backgrounds in MCE.  HELP PLEASE.

Code: [Select]
startx -- -dpi 100(try different dpi values)


Have solved this problem for me multiple times but I must admit that I haven't used it in LMCE or in which startup script it should be put in LMCE... Sorry...

Made the suggested changes to my xorg.conf file, and now i get the 1366x768 resolution i've been wanting, but when I'm using KDE, the text to to small to read.  When I open a web page, I can't read any text.  When i set the resolution o 1280x720, a quarter of the KDE display is off the screen.  Any suggestions, oh yeah, launched the nvidia setting app, but the I can't read any of the settings.  I think we are getting close.  I have LG 50' plasma model 50PC1DR-UA with my Nvidia 7600 GT video card (DVI to HDMI) connected.

You could try inserting a DPI option in the x.org config file. I am sorry that I don't recall in which section of the conf file it goes but I know that it does affect how big the fonts gets rendered.

I hope that give you a hint about what to google for... ;o)

I'd like to provide my Swedish provider. I have an * server running on a Gentoo box at the moment serving as my VoIP gw.

Is there a particular file that I just can grab from it and send to you (this thread)?


No there is not at present. Currently to add a new provider you will have to follow the instructions in my post above... the provider setup has to be added to the Perl code provided.

Ok, I can see a few ten lines in the beginning that seems to be what I have to edit. IP, username, passwd etc. That's about what I remember that I had to put into * to get it up and running, without any extra features..

Your Perl file seem to be quite long, do I have to look through the whole thing or would it be enough to just put in the provider details in the beginning? That is what scared me off a bit ;o)

Are you using Z-Wave? I thought it was 110volt only! I'd love something like Z-Wave for 220v/50Hz. Any suggestions?

Best Regards,
Richard.

I was thinking about that...  Technically, you COULD set up a syslog server, and get DHCP announcements..

But as you pointed out, the REAL reason is PXE boot.. (I doubt very many 'routers' support PXE booting, even IF you specify the tftp as another IP...)

I'm wondering if there is a way to set up an 'advanced' system with dual DHCP subnets...
possibly like the
'Router'
External IP: 192.168.80.254 (connected to  Internal Network of LMCE)
IP 192.168.79.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.79.1
DHCP set to 192.168.79.1-192.168.79.255

LMCE External IP: direct to Internet
LMCE Internal IP: 192.168.80.1
LMCE Subnet: 255.255.0.0
LMCE DHCP range: 192.168.80.129-192.168.80.253

Then, you have 2 networks, both internal, and the DHCP for the Router handles 192.168.79.x
and the DHCP for LMCE handles 192.168.80.x

I think you'd need to also set up a route in LMCE..

I haven't tested this, I'm just brainstorming here, and this might be in left field.

(I still haven't figured out WHY you would want to do this...)

Regards,

Dan

(FYI, this is WAY too complicated for a noob install)


I have the opposite here...

I have my 7 NIC firewall that runs with static addresses on 4 NICs and serves DHCP on 3
I have my normal computers (desktops) on 2 of those NICs, one of which wireless card, as the firewall also acts as AP on that card.
I have my LMCE core installed on the third DHCP served card, it serves the as DHCP for the LMCE core's external NIC, the core's internal NIC acts as a DHCP for all my multimedia devices like dreambox, xbox, ps2, md's etc.

The other static NICs in the firewall are the external interface connected to the Internet and the rest are DMZ's for different servers like ldap, mail, dns, db, www and an old asterisk install that I probably will trash and use the one in LMCE instead.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to do as you suggest, I am positive that it would work. I don't think it should be that hard either, it should work more or less out of the box...


My reason, btw, is security... I like to have a segmented network... ;o) I guess that it should be quite good for performance as well to keep the media network traffic on a separate segment than the rest of your network...

The Fiire Chiefs are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.


Good to hear since I just ordered two of those and expect the rumored insane shipping cost... ;o)

Thanks again!

I saw it on my DVD install last weekend. It happened after a reboot and it looked more or less a apt-get update/upgrade in a command window... I did not manually initialize it.

Under the Modules section, remove any lines that say Load "dri" or Load "glcore", and make sure you have
  Load "glx"

I have dri and glcore and it works. Why should they be removed? Is performance affected by having them loaded?


I'm afraid I don't know. I've been told by Nvidia support to remove them, and the tech didn't know either. He had installations where it worked fine with dri and others where it gave problems. My guess is that there is some code in the NVidia drivers which duplicates the functionality of dri/glcore or needs access to the same hardware/addresses/ports. My other guess is that some series of cards are affected by them but not others.


Thanks for your feedback, I'll test and see what happens if I remove them. I'll do so when I get home tomorrow. I'll report back and tell if I can see any performance changes...

Agreed, Also, pay attention to the video...

There are a lot of popups that show you the GOTCHAS.. pause on some of them so you can read them...

Regards,

Dan


The video does really want to state that it works right out of the box which it doesn't. LMCE supports a too narrow range of hardware to be able to even imply something like that. I think that part of the video is a scam.

I too don't mind getting my hands dirty, I love the system and playing around with it and learning etc. But I do think that the video is a bit of a scam...

So far LMCE is the best home entertainment system I've seen, none of the others even come close to it.

From personal experience, I would NOT go with a Fiire 1".

I have one.  It locks up SOLID regularly, can't use MythTV on it..

I wish I knew about the myth problem before I bought them (I bought a 1" and a 2.2")

They run Debian, not Kubuntu. (That's how they get the UI/2 working, which really, only half works)

The Menus are SOLID, (on an NVidia setup, their faded)

My thoughts, not yours... ;)

Dan

PS

The 2.2" doesn't lock up near as much, but already, it's got a bad fan, and I can't get SPDIF working on it :(



REALLY? I must say that that sucks, especially with a comp that is more or less built for LMCE. Thank you! I've been planning to buy a couple...
