Installation issues / MD image? (Resolved)
« on: April 13, 2008, 03:17:50 pm »
just setting up another MD
but after setup it randomly crashes
I notice the type setting for the image is "amd64" and my processor is a pentium D
if I set the image type to i386 the diskless setup fails
so what image should I be using for the p4 D?
cheers

I have to be honest...
I avoid VIA like I would the plauge
nevertheless the more credibility Linux gets with manufacturers the more people will use it etc!
didn't the Chinese government launch a drive to move entirely away from M$ for all their internal SW?
if the Chinese start using Linux en-masse then things may REALLY improve for all of us
(wel I can live in hope right??)
on a personal note I have never quite forgiven Via for their earlier processors..
you know the ones the bought of IBM/Cyrix I remember the fun? I had replacing these when the internal cache died...
dozens and dozens of em

Installation issues / Re: DHCP - combine with other DHCP - HOWTO?
« on: April 12, 2008, 03:24:44 pm »
OK just my 2p (lets see if anyone can see anything wrong here?)
one point first
if you install without DHCP running on your router Lmce will assign itself 2 iIP addresses 192.168.80.1
and internal 192.168.80.254
it cannot connect to the internet like this initiallly and brings it's own problems so
(again in my opinion)
assuming you dont need Lmce as a router device for your internet and you only want 1 NIC
here is what SEEMS to work out...
during install have DHCP on on the router WITH ONLY LMCE BOX CONNECTED!
once install is complete set up the WAN side to static at its current IP settings IE if your router is at 192.168.0.1 then set your LMCE ext IF to 192.168.0.254 then turn OFF DHCP server on the router...
now at your roter/switch you have 2 subnets available...
192.168.0.X original LAN and 192.168.80.X LMCE lan (with DHCP)
at this point if you want to share anything belonging to the LMCE LAN you must either turn off LMCE's firewall or configure it accordingly..
dont forget LMCE is INSIDE your existing firewall entirely so turning off LMCE's firewall should be fine
now.. anything you don't want to commit to LMCE's control should be set with a static IP in the subnet 19.168.0.X LMCE will not see nor try to control this
anything you want LMCE to use.. you enable DHCP on
that will end up on the 192.168.80.X subnet
this way both networks can share one switch and one lot a cabling and there should be no unwanted interaction
if you need to access something inside LMCE's subnet from your original network (say a NAS)
you can do so by it's IP address (or presumably it's DNS name) THROUGH LMCE's router
anyone see anything wrong with this solution??
(my background is in networking NOT Linux)

Installation issues / Re: myth setup?
« on: April 12, 2008, 12:33:19 pm »
hi all!
still can't find how to get back to the terminal I launched mythtv-setup in
once myth setup has launched in x there seems to be no going back!
is it just me suffering this issue?
seems to me that when you try to setup the xml grabber it should launch in a seperate terminal on top of the x session??
but I am no expert!!
any thoughts anyone?
the only way I can complete Mythsetup is to tell Myth not to use an xml grabber at all and just use iet..
but this won't be much of a solution when I hook up to my cable box!!

Installation issues / myth setup?
« on: April 10, 2008, 10:56:52 pm »
hi all another stupid question (from a daft newbie)
during the myth tv setup
when setting up the xml grabber
it stops 50% in (waiting for your responses to channel listings)
I know at this point I have to open the originating console box
but I don't know how
sorry for yet another stupid question!
oh one last thing..
if I where to use VDR instead of myth.. do I still have to try and find an initial tuning file?
and can I use VDR with an external source (asy a cable box) and get the epg from somewhere?
again... sorry

thanks for the reply
I had the dongle plugged into the MD I want to control..
and ran the scripts on the MD (via ssh)

I for one think this is a positive step!
simply the greater the hardware base.. the more people will go open source!!
I notice with considerable pleasure.. the little arcade machines the people I work for rent out have just made the move from dos to Linux
the more the better!!

Users / Re: crashing core!
« on: April 09, 2008, 01:35:10 am »
thanks again dopey
in the end I found deleting the MD and regenerating it cured the problem (but I have little idea why!!)
I do wish I could get my head round Linux a bit better!
in fact.. I wish I had never seen M$ and that way I would have concentrated on Linux from the beginning
and maybe today I would not feel like the useless gimp I do right now!
7 weeks and about $1100 in..
I have a core that works mostly..
an MD that works except I have no way to control it as the mouse died when I tried to set up the wiimote
and a crate full of X10 stuff I dare not connect..
a tuner card that just brings down the whole system..
well you get the idea!
