Users / Dallas 1-wire sensors using Linki45
« on: November 29, 2007, 02:59:14 pm »
I have been using a simple passive serial to Dallas 1-wire bus adapter to read a few temp sensors using command line linux tools:

http://www.digitemp.com/software.shtml

According to the following post it is possible to add this functionality to LMCE:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=374.0

I have added a Linki45 device but can't find any field for the serial port. I am therefore guessing this is not a device for the simple passive serial interface. Does anyone have eny experience with this?

Thanks,

Chris

Users / Huge amounts of mythtv logging [edit: how to disable -v flag?]
« on: November 26, 2007, 06:27:53 pm »
Despite setting LogLevels in /etc/pluto.conf to 1 I am still getting huge amounts of mythtv logging. It seems the log level setting is ignored. How else can I fix this?

Users / Disk_Drive device never starts
« on: November 24, 2007, 04:48:44 pm »

The Disk_Drive device on my core and media directors never starts. If I look at the modification date for the log file I see it has not worked for a month:

# ls -l 26_Disk_Drive.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74 2007-10-05 17:21 26_Disk_Drive.log

I'm not sure what this is started by. It's a child of the orbiter so I looked in the orbiter logs but can't see anything interesting (searched for Disk and disk and found nothing). The App server log also contains no references.

How can I fix this or get Disk_Drive to start manually?

Thanks,

Chris

Developers / How can I add av sync controls to xine?
« on: November 24, 2007, 01:27:59 pm »

I wish to add controls to allow Xine_player to receive av sync +/- controls, equivalent to n/m keys when using the normal xine with a keyboard (this does not work with the LMCE version).

I understand that I need to add data to the RemoteMapping table to redirect lirc keypresses to pluto messages, but am not sure what I need to do to get Xine_player to intercept them.

Is anybody else doing any work on this particular feature btw?

Cheers,

Chris

Developers / Logs filling up server
« on: November 08, 2007, 05:20:42 pm »
I am getting gigs of logs filling up my server. As a fix I am running this script every hour:

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf /usr/pluto/diskless/96/var/log/pluto/*
rm -rf /usr/pluto/diskless/96/var/log/acpid
rm -rf /usr/pluto/diskless/39/var/log/pluto/*
rm -rf /usr/pluto/diskless/39/var/log/acpid

Anyone else?

Users / Switching user in Orbiter does not show private media
« on: November 01, 2007, 09:41:05 pm »
I have created a user and assigned some videos to that user as private. Call this user john.

My linuxmce default user is chris. When I load an MD I go to the bottom of the screen and change the user to john, but john's media does not appear in the videos list.

I also discovered that even when the box at the bottom of the screen indicates john is logged in, clicking options in the videos menu offers only Public and chris in the filter options, not john.

How can john see his videos?

Thanks,

Chris

Users / High sys CPU use
« on: October 30, 2007, 06:17:46 pm »
I am seeing a constant 50% sys CPU useage on my core, even when not in use by any MDs. Apparently this may be caused by a kernel bug apparent when running an SMP kernel on a non-SMP device.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Developers / Preemptive kernel in MD?
« on: October 17, 2007, 01:01:34 pm »
Hi guys,

I have been trying to run brutefir in my MD with jack to allow real time room compensation and EQ but no matter how high I set the period jackd bombs out with xruns after 15 mins. I am assuming that the kernel is not preemptive, but have not checked as I am not sure how feasible it is to have a custom kernel running on a single MD. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris

Users / Nvidia 7200GS not recognised
« on: October 10, 2007, 03:06:40 am »
LinuxMCE does not recognise the Nvidia 7200GS card in my diskless MD and when I choose "Geforce of TNT2" on the admin site it stlll loads the vesa driver (and puts "vesa" into xorg.conf and xorg.conf.pbackup.

If I manually modify the config it loads the nvidia driver but the orbiter announces that OpenGL cannot be opened. And the config goes back to vesa after a reboot....

lspci says this:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d3 (rev a1)

and lshwd says this:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller:  (vesa)


What should I do?

Thanks,

Chris

Users / Switching from single network card setup to dual card
« on: October 04, 2007, 12:35:55 pm »
I installed with a single network card so my internal and external interfaces were on the same card (i.e. eth0 and eth0.0 as the virtual interface on top of this). I have now installed another network card and want to go to a dual card setup but can't find a way to change the devices assigned to the internal and external interface on the network settings web page. I assume this is hardcoded in the database? If so does anyone know where? I don't really want to have to reinstall!!

Thanks,

Chris

Users / Some process is locking out my serial ports
« on: September 24, 2007, 01:32:46 pm »
I am not using LMCE for home automation but instead use other software (Misterhouse or Heyu) to control my appliances via the X10 CM11 serial interface.

This interface works fine without the pluto core running, but as soon as it is started I can no longer contact the CM11. Something in pluto seems to be upsetting the serial ports but I have no serial devices configured.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Installation issues / TV not available on any Orbiter but MySQL can connect
« on: September 21, 2007, 11:23:01 am »


Hi,

I have installed LMCE and am able to schedule mythtv recordings from the webpage (works fine) however the Hydrid Core/MD says "not available" in the blank box to the left of the TV icon when I click it, and the TV icon does not appear at all on the remote MDs.

I have checked the mysql password is correct on all the systems (I can connect with "mysql -h 192.168.1.1 -u mythtv -p mythconverg" from the remote MDs, so am not sure what is going on here.

Any ideas?

Chris
