Installation issues / Re: pxe boot over the household power circuit using security?

« on: December 21, 2008, 10:24:37 pm »

Hi Chin
I have not tried it yet, but a recived a clear anwser from Devolo. I just first need to translate it to english, as it is in german. will try to do that in the next days. but basically: yes, you configure the device first having the corresponding tool installed on a windows machine and once the devices are configured you plug them in where ever you want and so their communication is secured.

Installation issues / pxe boot over the household power circuit using security?

« on: November 02, 2008, 03:44:43 pm »

Hi all

I am thinking of starting to user Devolo products to build a network over the household power circuit.
For example: http://www.devolo.co.uk/uk_EN/produkte/dLAN/dn-8-mldlanhsstarterkit.html
What I would like to continue doing is to have diskless pxe booting MD's only. So my question is:
Is it possible to pxe boot AND use the security software provided with the hardware?
I am asking this because.... what is done first?.. the boot or the authentification..? Or... do I get it wrong?

Any hints would be appreciated.

thanks and cheers
Roberto

Hi Jondecker76 and thanks for all that info

Well, I am mainly concernet about the diskless MD's
I guess with a clean install and restore with the backup data I wont get my diskless MD's back, right?
If this is correct, how could I back them up?

Thanks

Users / LMCE standard backup vs. Raid

« on: August 15, 2008, 09:55:57 am »

Hi all

I am wondering about the following:
LMCE has a backup function already included. But as I know it does not (for example) back up the files of diskless MD's, right? So if it is like that this is not a complete backup solution. I then would rather use software raid by fist installing ubuntu, setting up the raid and then install LMCE on top of it. If it works I dont know, I am going to try, but am I right that the standard backup function of LMCE does not back up the files of the disless MD's (and what else .... who can tell me) or am I wrong?

Thanks
Roberto

Installation issues / Re: INTEL D945GCLF, Atom 230 (1.6 GHz), i945GC out now - compatability?

« on: August 12, 2008, 06:36:40 pm »

Hi Andrew

This is great news! I belive this could give a nice boost to the whole project. Mainly because of availability, size and prize of this mainboard - the week link in the needed hardware I would say. I had to search a long time to find a compatible AND still available (in Switzerland) board for my core, and now we all might get a good, low power and newly released itx mainboard WITH UI2 + support available anywhere.

Keep on the good work! and thanks for all your  postings

cheers

Hey, totallymaxed , do you have any news about your testing with this board. Any confirmation what works and what doesn't.
We would all apreciate to know more about your work. Thanks

Installation issues / Re: How to enable my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 5.1

« on: July 13, 2008, 10:00:42 pm »

Hi all and thanks for the help

I managed to get (I think) 4 Channels. So I connected the Side and center (not subwoofer), to the same plug via an adapter. At least I have sound on all speakers now, and I will give up for the moment. Maybe one day I'll buy a speaker system with different connections --> by the way, are all speakers compatible or do I have to make sure in advance? I am thinking about Logitech Z-5500 or Z-5450.

cheers

Installation issues / Re: How to enable my 5.1 soundcard Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 5.1

« on: July 13, 2008, 04:48:05 pm »

I tried to attache a printscreen but I always get "can not access path". Apparently my card got recognized, but in alsamixer in the terminal (left top) there is nothing written for "chip" (is this maybe the real problem?)

On one of the "analog" channels I get the output on the lime plug, but eaven giving volume on the other "analog" channels does not give me anything for the other 2 plugs for the 5.1 sound (orange and black).

Any ideas? Did anyone get a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy  SE 5.1 to work correctly?

Thanks

Installation issues / How to enable my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 5.1

« on: July 12, 2008, 12:49:18 pm »

Hi all

I have installed a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy  SE 5.1 sound card and "the green line out" works when I hook up normal speakers. But when I connect my 5.1 speakers, I still only have sound on the line out (green plug). Where do I have to change settings to get the 5.1 sound? Any pointers? Is it maybe alsamixer but where do I find it?
Thanks
cheers

Installation issues / Albatron brings GeForce 8 graphics card for PCI-Slot

« on: July 11, 2008, 03:04:09 pm »

Hi all

As I belive that many uf us want to try to reuse already owned or old hardware in general, but that often the Graphics performance is the issue to get UI2, this might be of interest:

The company "Albatron" will soon offer graphics cards based on the  GeForce 8400, 8500 und auch 8600 FOR THE   PCI  SLOT.
This means that (some) of these cards will have just the ideal gpu chipset for LMCE and that you can use it on hardware without a agp or pci-express slot (or as a second or alternative graphics card). Me for example I own some Dell desktops with integrated gpu and no agp or pci-express slott....so this should just be ideal for it.

See here for information in german: http://winfuture.de/news,40737.html
Add your own link if you find information in english!

I am looking foreward to test at lease 1 of these as soon as they come out.
Please share your experiences or thoughts.

cheers

Installation issues / INTEL D945GCLF, Atom 230 (1.6 GHz), i945GC out now - compatability?

« on: July 10, 2008, 11:34:31 am »

Hi all

The motherboard INTEL D945GCLF, Atom 230 (1.6 GHz), i945GC is out now.
It really looks like a potential MD platform. Low power consumption most of all and small in size.

A german review can be found here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/de/atom-230-Hyperthreading-945GCT-D,testberichte-240070.html
An english review of atom here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-atom-cpu,1947.html

I would like to start this topic to discuss experiences by users.
Apparently it is not availabel in shops yet (at least here in Switzerland), but should hopefully soon be ready to ship.

Looking foreward

cheers
Roberto
