Feature requests & roadmap / Re: New feature request: Landing page
« on: January 13, 2010, 04:25:26 am »
exactly .... why i liked the joomla idea but think we can really intergrate with php with a nice php landing page with that can pull data from table Ie location zip for weather or any other pertinent data... could then probably just add the others database stuff we would want... such as stocks... News Streams, calander tasks, Clock with intelligent reminders.... so When your not set as Away the clock will remind you so many minutes before  .. You have to leave for Work, Don't forget to get the Kids from school... (maybe text to speech   etc...

Feature requests & roadmap / Re: New feature request: Landing page
« on: January 12, 2010, 11:13:29 pm »
If I made the Website/landing page, can someone make the plugin to load it up...?  could probably reference most from just a zip code... i do alot of web design...   Joomla would work for this i can use it if you like, i assume everyone would then need to install and configure joomla to apache....  Essentially  you could have alot more than just a landing page  ... it could start with something just like the image you showed loading  New ... feeds whatever... will throw the best free joomla modules in...   But if someone made the plugin so that when someone Clicks orbiter button  lets call it for example ...."My Portal"...  I can setup joomla to use users... so that if user one hits "My Portal" its loads up Firefox and users user 1 user and pw... this will allow each user to have custom Portal Page...

So if somone can make the plugin that will basically load firefox and login with current user and password or pin either....  either joomla will need you to setup users or we can set it to import from mysql database...  everyone would need to customize there joomla landing page from joomla once...


if not can make just a house portal that loads firefox and landing page more basic...

this can be done in php also..

Installation issues / Re: Beta 2 "File not found" MD won't Play Media
« on: January 12, 2010, 10:54:48 pm »
Are there any logs i can look at to see if there is a problems with MD symlinks  or any problems when its started?
Really don't want to have to always use floorplan to move media from core to MD i want to play on....

 Adding more MD's to see what happens but all my MD's are the same so ...

Installation issues / Re: Problem with AVWizard in beta2
« on: January 12, 2010, 05:04:45 pm »
Gettings Av wizard started for me was all about lettings MD set-up a fresh copy of drivers...  195 nivida is default but don't think is was setup right...  one of my MD's has a on-board ATI  i disabled from bios and made pcie defualt

What I did was.. change the root pw for MD and setup "logging_In Media_director" from wiki

then from terminal

sudo ssh moonXX

then i reconfiged xorg

dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg

then i apt-get install envyng  (video card driver installer)

run it

envyng -t

-----------

Since nvidia 195 is default... i just un-installed the drivers with envy and reboot and that's all i need besides hitting 1 or Q to get DVI up...

Installation issues / Re: Beta 2 "File not found" MD won't Play Media
« on: January 12, 2010, 04:50:22 pm »
I can get Media to play  via MD switching from floor plan from core to MD...  Ive reformated probably 7 times now and I've done web-install / dvd installer also couple times on desktop... web-install gets me up and running perfect or best... all except this problem exactly the same ever time...   media can be browsed  but not played on MD's...  Don't know why this happens every time...  I only have a few movies on here... Is there not a way to allow all the symlinks to be remade?

hmm still gets stuck when adding new MD's till changed...but that's good to know... Thank you...  is there a script under /bin that will help me re-establish the media mappings for the MD? 

when i goto to /pubic on moonxx  there is nothing there also

Still cant get media to play on netboot MD

So... I did a Fresh format and fresh install of 810...  then did web install install this time... setup my nivida drivers first this time... and was able to skip the hassle of failed wizards and what not... MD setup perfect and automatic besides pressing Q...


Still recevied errors that greetings video and sample audio were not found :(

so undoubtedly  when MD was up and going file isn't found when trying to play media or audio, but i can play on core...

The only thing i have to do to get core started is when it boots for first time it hangs causes its amd64... so i goto webadmin and try to change amd64 to i386 its always is hanging there forever.. so i ended up copying mac address deleting MD and adding a new generic MD... and add mac and build image after that it boots updates and reboots and Avwizard starts...   would this cause a issue it is how i always did it my MD's on 0710?

has anyone else had this problem im stumped...  Really could use a hand if anyone has any ideas   ;D

Im unsure what is wrong now that ive got my install basically working nice...  everything works sound video... stuck at 720p buts okay for now...  during AV wizard i noticed it could find the audio track to play so it said no sound ...  and after that couldn't find the video setup girl  file either...  Now all setup  i get this when i try and play audio or video...

File not found: /home/public/data/other/flash(sbd1)-core [34]/ the movie.avi or audio.mp3

I decided to test sound to make sure the hardware was working...  i added a MH play Internet radio button to orbiter for MD  under investigation ... plays Internet music like a charm.... same for my weather stream...

What can i do to fix the issue to allow my MD to connect to music and video's on network... or in this case for testing a usb flash plugged into core  (haven't moved my NAS off my 0710 core and 1 MD for keeping the family at bay)  but very close i think...

all the drive mappings are done for you, automatically  seems mine didn't go through since gettings video workings was a pain...  Is there a script or something i can run to recreate these mappings?

Update... Reached AV wizard :)  with dvi to vga adapter thing...  YEA....  got dvi2/hdmi to work  but only at 720p....  this card was running 1080 fine before...  so if can't get 1080 working with  av wizard is there a way for me to setup this manually?

This has been solved .... apt-get install envy  ...  this didn't help me installing nividia drivers but more un installing  them cleanly ... and allowed MD to install them correctly ....  received errors   trying to update...

Also removed legacy drivers from loading...


25
also noticed from my notes... that when I installed hybridcore  the only thing i forgot to do was apt-get -f -x distr upgrade  before i used the installer....  ive done apt-get upgrade update...   but also read that i should never "apt-get -f -x distr upgrade" after useing linuxmce installer... so i haven't...ever...  would this give the problem with my MD?  will doing a "apt-get -f -x distr upgrade"  help this? does installer need to be run again?

from what i can tell i hear the series of beeps so Av wizard is starting just not showing me with any changes...  how does the trick with dvi-vga connector work?... ive tried using  the vga output on my vid card and the dvi with same result...

or should i just start fresh?



have a ton on nvidias whats a better model to use?   6200?

Thanks -Emac

I have followed the instructions for setting up diskless MD's, using MD that was previously worked perfect with 0710...   

its video card
PCIE Geforce 8400GS 256ram    will this work? did before i change to 0810b2

after switching 64 to i386 and rebuilding finally got the MD to boot ... then ofcourse the "failed to start X" error... so after installing/uninstalling nividia drivers many many times...  and following info i found on forums... was able to get nvidia 195 beta drivers installed and to not go failed X

It now goes black screen and when ever i try mode change or resolution change 1-0 on keyboard any time i hit one it goes back to console showing Nivdia 195 installation ended and the date... then 2 sec later goes black again.... press a key 1 beep  few sec later ring with 3 beeps...  never get to avwizard...  have i missed something?

here is lspci

Installation issues / Re: Broadvoice and 8.10
« on: January 09, 2010, 05:56:49 pm »
-little update  progress? maybe little forward and bit more back.. :)

Also have noticed restarting asterisk and changing sip.conf  saying "The number you have dialed is not in service"  from from-sip-external  to from-trunk will let me go directly to voice mail no ringing on phone call inbound or in house ... if i change custom app to ring extension it goes directly back to  "The number you have dialed is not in service"... Been trying to compare 0710 to my new 0810 install  but  no luck so far..... Had voice eclipse for a long time hope i don't have to change...

Thanks All emac

Yes..  thought i was starting a new topic but accidentally replied to this one ...

Im currently with voice eclipse   has worked great till 0710-810b2...  I setup voip from webadmin  does this matter?  I also upgraded my service to include a static ip  did not think an ip change would effect this but besides that, setup is same as before  but now when i call it says the number Ive dialed is not in service...

« on: January 08, 2010, 04:24:17 am »
have and issue similar to http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8753.0  ... my inbound and outbound voip with voiceeclipse work fine on 0710 and after switch to 0810b2 I can't receive any calls... ive checked /usr/pluto/bin/create_pluto_dialplan.pl    is not missing a semi colon on the second to last line, so i tried to rerun python and i get a 15 timeout... but still no inbound calls...  anyone had an issue with voiceeclipse inbound?

Thanks emac
