ha ha. actually it's owned by someone with the uuid of 10000 and inaccessible even by root. Ah well, I'm going to nuke it and see what happens

Something's gone screwy and the /usr/pluto/diskless directory has grown to fill up my harddisk. Is it safe to rm /usr/pluto/diskless/* and start reinstalling the md? I cannot get acccess to the web interface because of the full disk.

Users / Challenge to get mce_usb2 to work on a diskless md

« on: July 28, 2008, 04:06:57 pm »

I have managed to get a pinnacle mce remote to work on my core/hybrid using a recompiled mce_usb2 driver. Now attempting to get it to work on a diskless md. The driver loads, as shown by lsmod, but /dev/lirc0 is not created. Anyone with any pointers on how to troubleshoot this will be appreciated.

Users / Can lmce play or rip VCDs?

I haven't had any success playing VCDs with lmce. It does even recognise the disk as a valid format. Anyone experience any different?

Since the problem is in Photo_Screen_Saver, is there source code I can root around in to see whether I can track down the cause?

Its been almost 24hrs the MD is on since I turned to static screensaver and no problems so far. I'll try tweaking the xorg.conf options and see what happens.

agentsmith,
Your screensaver locks up when the cursor is at the bottom left blue box but ok when the cursor is elsewhere?

Its the 'intel' driver in xorg.conf. I've set the screensaver to static and rebooted. We'll see how long she lasts.
One odd thing I noticed was the MD architecture is recorded as amd64. Thats the arch of the core. Should I change it and if so what is the valid entry for intel?
If its any help here's the device section of xorg.conf
   Identifier   "Card0"
   Driver      "intel"
   VendorName   "Unknown Vendor Name"
   BoardName   "Unknown Board Name"
   Option      "LinearAlloc"      "16384"
   #BusID      "PCI:0:2:0"
#   Option      "NoDDC"            "true"
   Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "true"
   Option "renderAccel" "true"
   Option "NoDDCValue"
   Option "UseEDID" "false"
   Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true"
   Option "NoLogo" "true"
   Option "NoBandWidthTest" "true"
   Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck, NoMaxPClkCheck, AllowInterlacedModes, AllowNon60HzDFPModes"

The hybrid is nvidia, the orbiter with the problem is intel. If the UI is not on it goes like a champ

New to linuxmce but know my way around linux. I've completed the install of a hybrid and had to recompile stuff to get mce_usb2 to work. Still figuring out what the buttons on the pinnacle remote do, thats ok.
Built a diskless Intel Atom box (cheap and cheerful) to use as a net-booting MD. Plugged in, and after an overnight update, UI came up, yay! Watched a movie right through, great except for the faint buzzing heard via the onboard sound gear. Mental note to track that down later. Now here comes the odd part. If left with the picture screensaver running, after about 1 or 2 minutes, the UI locks up not responding to keystrokes, but I can move the cursor with mouse. The last picture on screen is frozen in place. The machine is still alive, responding to pings. Now if I leave the selection red box on any other place than the bottom left blue box, the UI seems to be ok.
Has anyone seen this before and if so how do I fix it?
Any help very much appreciated, thanks.
