Installation issues / Re: New 1004 Installer Testing

« on: September 28, 2011, 02:59:38 am »

Thanks fibres, the nvidia issues i hit were based on some grub boot params that i corrected by inserting an update in the installer. I am familiar with the nvidia detection process (ive made a couple of updates so far for 1004) and can work with you to make this plug and play for you. Would you let me know what nvidia card you have?

Im testing a workaround now with the updated installer. The 1004 asterisk packages via mce are pretty horked so this workaround would only be to get an md up and running and not to get asterisk usable. For asterisk usable we will need to wait on foxi's work to be completed. Ill post an update when my testing completes.

MD setup will fail in 1004 for now due to issues with the asterisk issues with 1004. Foxi352 is heading an effort to remedy this issue for this and future releases and consolidating the multiple MCE asterisk packages from multiple down to one comprehensive package.

At any rate, the MD setup will not complete until the Foxi completes his work, or if you do some workarounds and get the asterisk packages to install correctly during your 1004 core build.

I don't really care about where the info is, just as long as it's out there, and I wont' be having versions per se of the installer as the snapshots that you're testing, this is a replacement test of the online installer, whoever can test please do so!

Thanks Bongo - the wiki I linked to explains the circumstances and the only issues are the ones I have in the first thread, though that's an issue with either installer. I'm hoping that we'll be able to swap out the old installer soon if we can get some testers to test the new method.

Is there any reason to run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh more than once?

Installation issues / New 1004 Installer Testing

« on: September 21, 2011, 03:09:11 am »

Hello,

  I've spent some time consolidating the old 810 installer process and updating it to a single script for 1004 as well as making a couple of improvements. The improvements/updates include:

• A log file is now generated covering the entire installation process: /var/log/LinuxMCE_Setup.log
• Additional error checking
• Performs the apt-get and upgrade for you
• Updated pre-seed for package preferences method
• Logging output to the user with date/time stamp for each function

  I have had multiple successful VM installs and a few successful physical core installs (the issues I've been running into was more focused on the nVidia X setup post install which have now been corrected for 1004). I'd like for others to test it out before looking at archiving the old process. You can find information on how to use this installer here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_1004

Please let me know if you run into issues or if you don't! If you do hit issues please let me know your sys specs (CPU, Memory and video card).

Known Issues with installation process:

• None at this time

Thank you!

I got it before there were versions so im thinking its v1??

Yes i got rid of cable, and no i dont miss it at all!

Regarding channels, i primarily leverage netflix and amazon instant video. And im evaluating cancelling netflix in favor of amazons 'prime' service.

I would also like to focus on getting a media option into mce that would allow me to access my amazon service so eventually i wont need the roku at all (if i can get away from netflix)

I have a roku attached to 2/3 of the tvs in my house, though right now im not controlling via mce. My ultimate goal is to get rid of all IR remotes and control everything via the orbiter but im not quite there yet.

I spoke with possy and we're going with option 3. I think I have it figured out where to update the code and am going to be testing shortly.
