THanks guys for all the advice. I have not had another bash at getting LMCE working in my house for a while as have been really busy at work but I will check in again when I get going. Possibly when 8.10 becomes more mainstream or, heaven forbid, 10.10

Hi,

The company I am working for are going to be getting rid of a few HP T5545 thin clients, was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting these to work? they don't have HDMI but do have DVI so should connect to quite a few monitors/TV's

Hi Andrew,

Here is the output as requested, I had the machine powered off (and unplugged while at work).

Hi Andrew,

I tried again but unfortunately the same error. At first, I installed the firmware package that you attached (thru the GUI). That installed OK. Then I installed the v4l2-source package, at this point it said the following:

error: conflicts with the installed package v4l2-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

so I uninstalled the package:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove v4l2-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

this was a success and I then ran the install again, it took about 5-7 minutes and eventually appeared to install correctly, here is the output of the install:

then I rebooted the core, note I already had the Kworld in the core when installing, then before reboot I plugged up the antenna cable. This is what followed.

Any further Ideas? Does it look as though I did everything right? I didnt run any uninstalls for firmware but not sure if I needed to?

Cheers
Sput

Sorry Andrew, bad bout of what I can only assume was food poisoning this weekend! I will try and install the latest debs that you sent tonight.

Ok mate, thank you anyway for sticking with me on this one, we are moving house at the end of the month and I will hopefully be able to get my hands on the beta by then. Cheers!

Hi Andrew,

Sorry to keep bothering you mate but I was wondering if you managed to reproduce the issue at home? Also the guys at linuxmce seem to be working quite hard on 8.10, I was wondering how long they estimate until its usable?

Cheers
Sput

no mate its the 32 bit, should I try the 64?

any futher hints mate?

Ok, I download the tarball from your link, open it with ark and extract the V4L2xxxxxxx.deb file into the default location (/home/linuxmce). Also ensure that 'open location' is ticked. Once it is extracted, I click on it, this launches the Package installer. I select reinstall package, enter the linuxmce password and it loads successfully. I then reboot and then

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/vdr stop

and then run the scan command as in your post. Is there something else that I am missing?

Howdy Andrew,

Well oddly enough I plugged the K-World into my vista machine and it scanned and picked up all of the channels so at least I know that its working. Do you have any other suggestions. Maybe I should try and build from the CD's instead of the DVD's? Really stuck mate and really keen to get this box running...

Cheers
Sput

Hey mate, I have reinstalled the package, same problem.

I have attached my syslog file again...do you reckon the tuner could be faulty? Maybe I should plug it into my windows box just to double-check....anyway the wife is calling so I look forward to your response and will check back tomorrow!

here we go mate. there were 2 from todays startup had to compress one

Hey mate, here it is...not looking like yours...
