Installation issues / Release notes?

« on: March 07, 2014, 01:49:53 am »

Hi,

Just curious, but, when a new .iso is spun could release notes be provided?

What's been fixed. attempted, etc.?

I'm sorry, but during testing I've chewed up my download cap way to often.

I want to help testing, but, if there is nothing provided as an explanation in the latest compile I am sorry....

.../I just can't help as vmuch as I want to.


Cheers

Installation issues / FYI - Sat Feb. 22 apt-get update

« on: February 22, 2014, 06:49:48 pm »

HI,

FYI

Feb. 14 build.

I haven't got my MD running yet on my Core/Hybrid system.

I did the apt-get update/upgrade and on initial run for lmce-diskless-tools received "E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).

Reran upgrade got...

Setting up lmce-diskless-tools (2.0.0.46.14022028741) ...
  Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/haltMDs ...
chroot: cannot change root directory to /usr/pluto/diskless/*: No such file or directory

   lmce-diskless-tools
E:  Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I'll get around to adding my MD today - I hope.  I'll rerun apt upgrade after I build MD.

Cheers.

Installation issues / 14-Feb-2014 build notes.

« on: February 16, 2014, 10:01:35 pm »

Booted the 14-Feb-2014 snapshot.

I selected "Install LinuxMCE Hybrid-Core + MD"

At "Preparing to install LinuxMCE"

"is connected to the internet" always failed no matter which ethernet cable was in eth0 or eth1.

At this point I went with motherboard=eth0, pci=eth1.

When I went with motherboard=eth0 and pci=eth1 the installation would run and eventually I'd end up at the KDE desktop which looked like a Live-DVD install.

If I rebooted the PC at this point I would receive a flashing cursor - end of story.

If I selected Install LinuxMCE the system would re-attempt to install Kubuntu 12.04 and eventually crash.

When I swapped eth0 and eth1 (motherboard=eth1 and pci=eth0) the system loaded. did it's thing and eventually I received the armchair penguin.

Somewhere along the route my screen was distorted but a power off/on (of the monitor) resolved it.

Once everything calmed down and I managed to get the GNU GRUB menu I selected Ubuntu with Linux.

Again I got into a loop.  When I was again/and/again presented with the GNU GRUB menu I swapped my ethernet cables back to motherboard=eth0 and pci=eth1.

This time I got past the Waiting for network configuration to Waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration to Booting the system without a full network configuration.

Eventually the AVWizard ran.

Cheers.


p.s. don't forget to go into webadmin and swap your network interfaces around if they're messed up when you check with ifconfig.

Installation issues / NAS Symbolic Links on 12.04 loads - Anybody else with sym link issues - Resolved

« on: February 14, 2014, 04:27:16 pm »

Hi,

Connected my NAS to the Core/Hybrid and it was discovered.  (A little slower than usual.)

I added Volume_1 and Volume_2 as windows shares.

I waited an hour and a half but no videos were presented under Media>Video.

I checked /home/public/data/videos/ and saw only "Windows Share-Volume_1  [31]".

When I tried to "ls" the files I received the message  "Too many levels of symbolic links."

I then did a reboot.

After about 10 minutes I did an "ls" @ /home/public/data/videos/ and after about a minute was returned with "Windows Share-Volume_1  [31]" and "Windows Share-Volume_2  [32]".

I did a ls on "Windows Share-Volume_1  [31]" and after about 2-3 minutes I received the  "Too many levels of symbolic links." message.

I did the same on Volume_2 and received the same message.

Nothing was listed under Media>Video.

I'll poke around later.


Cheers.

Users / Search

« on: February 12, 2014, 06:33:43 pm »

Greetings,

I tried to do a main page forum search and got prompted for "enter the whatever" for anti spam but I could not make head or tails of what number/letters I was looking at.

So, I logged in and tried a search and no results were found for anything I entered.  I tried advanced searches and same same..

Is it only me or is something weird going on?

Cheers.

Installation issues / MD boot failed

« on: April 27, 2012, 08:44:03 pm »

Hi,

560324550be22c71bc8a4b8cb845cd21  LMCE-1004-20120425171925932.iso

Can anyone else verifiy...

I tried my Revo 330 PXE boot and received

unable to located configuration file - boot failed

I had to run Diskless_Create and then we announced ourselves to the router.

You no longer need to run the laborious Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to run media directors. It is embedded. Just plug something in and boot.

Thanks

Cheers

Installation issues / md5sum disk values - these correct? - SOLVED.

« on: April 25, 2012, 05:22:42 am »

Downloaded the latest 10.04 .iso  1004-20120423001425928.iso

Did md5sum check on the .iso - matched.

Burnt an image at lowest speed (8x) with burnproof to reduce errors.

In the Bios set motherboard to boot from DVD drive.

Booted.

Received "ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin boot:" message.

At this point you may press "Enter" or wait about a minute for the system to automatically boot into the LinuxMCE 10.04 Live CD GUI.

Using the arrow keys I selected "Install LinuxMCE Hybrid - Core + MD"

Received loading /casper/vmlinuz and /casper/initrd.gz......ready messages.

Received the LMCE Penguin logo and progress bar.

Progress bar stated a bit then received the following error messages.

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

Rebooted.

Same error.

Burnt a second image at lowest speed (8x) with burnproof to reduce errors.

Same thing.

Here's my disk checksums.  Same on both disks.

Before I go and swap out DVD burners, etc.  are these correct?

The system I am using is presently running 2.0.0.45.11112425156 (Thu Nov 24 17:04:42 2011)

Installation issues / svn co returns - not found on this server - Reload Solved.

« on: March 21, 2011, 01:48:54 pm »

Hi,

I set up another test system so that I could play with 10.04 without destroying my existing system.

However, when I enter via terminal (Konsole) ...

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/new-installer

I get a 404 error.

Not Found

The requested URL /svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/new-installer was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.3 PHP/5.2.1 Server at svn.linuxmce.org Port 80

In a browser on my Fedora box when I try to get there from here I get the same error.

If I click on the link in ...

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_1004

... I can get there

I've reloaded from scratch twice.  I can search the web.  I can do update, upgrade and install subversion.

Is there a broken link?

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Installation issues / snaphot 23800 MARCH 7 -Solved.

« on: March 08, 2011, 12:38:32 am »

Hi,

I've just applied this snapshot on my core.

Haven't gotten to MD's yet - probably tomorrow.

Just a heads up - each "Windows File Server Share" now displays as a separate entity.

Videos, per say, are now not amalgamated onto one video/movie 0-Z screen choice but are now on displayed as separate shares with a "back" option to select Share 1 or 2 etc.

(Don't know if I like that - was kinda use to having all my movies over various drives show up in one place.)

0 to Z organization has been re-arranged as well.  I think I like it the new way.

Cheers.
