Installation issues / Re: "Failed to setup X" when rebooting after clean installation
« on: July 22, 2008, 01:17:47 am »
Hi,
There are lots of threads related to "Failed to setup X". Please search these.
Before you do, did you looked at this: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=3931.0
Just trying to make sure you are aware that the default video output is VGA otherwise you have to press some keys during initialization.
Cheers.

Installation issues / Re: Unable to install - black screen during boot DVD, unable to cache CD ISO HELP!

Hi,
I would only load the NVidia restricted drivers via the LMCE mechanism.
Once things are running then download the latest NVidia driver via X Window.

Hi,
Here's some info on firewalls: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Firewall_Rules
If you are doing a fresh install my personal recommendation would be to do the ati drivers after the AVWizard. I just like to know that the basic functionality works before I throw some changes into things.

Hi,
Have you tried to full regen the oribter thru the LMCE Launch Manager admin website?
LinuxMCE Admin Website/Wizard/Devices/Orbiter
Or, don't know if it will help but you could try going to the dcerouter prompt, ( at LMCE Launch Manager screen <ctrl+alt> F1) log in and type: sudo apt-get update
Maybe even try apt-get -f install or sudo apt-get install pluto-orbiter
To return to Launch Manager <ctrl+alt>F7
My only other idea is to do a clean install.

Hi,
There are postings for "unichrome" drivers.
Maybe that'll help you investigate what's going on with VIA chipsets.
Cheers.

Hi,
You are familiar with this? http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=3931.0
The system defaults to VGA port, if you are setup to DVI, S-Video, etc you need change your video output when the system "beeps" as per instructions.
I'm just trying to verify this part has been attempted - for troubleshooting.
Cheers.

Hi,
I looked up the Terra site and all it said was VGA and resolution sizes.
It didn't say what video chip the 3770 was using.
Since everything else was Via chipsets, CPU:VIA Eden nano V4 1.0 GHz CPU embedded, Sound:VIA Vinyl (VT1612A), 2-Channel AC97, I would assume the video chip is VIA.
There are some people using Via chipsets out there. I was thinking of trying a Via based thin client in the future, but from I understand there are some driver issues.
Hopefully someone with Via experience might be able to steer you in the right direction for the "Failed to setup X" problem that you are experiencing.
Cheers.

Hi,
When I looked at your TV product spec it said the set was 1080p compliant.
If true did you set the AVwizard to 1080p?
EDID needs to be changed in two different sections in xorg - is that correct?
Did you see this thread? http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5797.0 Just wondering.

Hi,
You will probably have to play with your xorg.conf to get your TV to display in 1080p native resolution.
Here's how I set it up on my LCD: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5328.0
The sound is a different issue. If you are using a DVI/HDMI adapter your video card would have to support a SPDIF connector where you would take the SPDIF MOBO pinout (two of 4 pins) and through a cable connect to the video card. Otherwise if the MOBO have SPDIF or Optical out you could go that way if your TV input supports that. Or, you go video out the HDMI cable and analog sound to a TV input if your TV supports that.
Hope this helps.

Installation issues / Re: Unable to install - black screen during boot DVD, unable to cache CD ISO HELP!
« on: July 20, 2008, 04:11:12 pm »
Hi,
First thing is you can only install LMCE using Kubuntu 7.10 so there isn't a better way to install under Kubuntu 8.04.
I hope that you checked your MD5SUM(s) on the iso DVD/CD disks.
If you are using the CD's (Kubuntu 7.10 plus MCD 1&2 iso's) you can copy them to your HDD and when running the LMCE installer point the browser to the directory location for the iso's.
This will get you past the problem with trying to cache the files to the HDD from the CD.
This will save you a couple of hours as well (CD method still takes about 2.5 hours).
For the DVD install did you try to burn at a lower speed as well?
During the 30-45 minutes did you see any HDD disk activity (flashing light)? If so just let it go for a while longer.
Also with the DVD installation did the system return a series of beeps?
This could be an indication that the AVWizard has ran but the screen setup is not correct.
Are you running VGA, S-video, DVI or DVI/HDMI connection?
What kind of TV are you trying to connect to and what resolution?
Cheers.

Installation issues / Re: geforce 8400 compatibility
« on: July 19, 2008, 12:57:28 pm »
Hi,
I've got a MSI NX8400GS in a diskless MD running 1080p via DVI/HDMI to a Sharp LCD.
Works fine. Haven't ran HD content through yet but I can't see why there would be a problem displaying HD.
However, there are some issues related to playing blu-ray disks. It's nothing related to video cards.
You may want to search posts for further information.
Cheers.
