I just installed my insteon on "23165" snapshot, it looks like something changed in the "TestSerial Port"

Any ideas ??

Code:

linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/pnp$ /usr/pluto/bin/TestSerialPort -p $3 -P N81 -b 19200 -t "\02\60"  -i 1 -s "\03\05"
Unknown: N81
TestSerialPort, v.2.0.0.44.10071723165
Usage: TestSerialPort [-p port] [-P N81|E81|O81] [-t transmit string]
[-s Search String] [-m message to log] [-i Timeout] [-b baud] [-h]
strings can include: \xx (xx is a hex char), \r and \n, and to delay x ms, \sxm
\b means send a break
-M puts it in monitor mode where it just reports the state
  of hardware flow control until ctrl+c is pressed
linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/pnp$shot, I'm getting error on the test serial port N81 is there any modifications to this in this release ??

I had it working on 810 last November 2009, but not very reliable sometimes the response takes 5 minutes sometimes 10 seconds, that's why I'm reinstalling everything from scratch now, in the past was working pretty reliable 710 and early 810, except when reloading the router it will kill it, you have to shut down and power up the core in order to correct the problem.

FYI, I've been using ESXI for a while but not with LMCE because till now VMware didn't solve the problem with the USB ports to be utilize by the VM.

Here's trial number "7" this time it worked but noticed different behavior:
1) While editing Rooms names first time in the House setup it kicked me out directly to Media Player setup, after I finished the setup I got the main screen
2) From the main screen I went to setup wizard and while editing Rooms names second time in the House setup it kicked me out directly to Main screen, the third time I was able to edit all rooms names
3) In trial "6" when I received "General info plug-in" busy message, there was no activity on the top left screen after approximtly 30-40 minutes I had to force the exit, on trial "7" I saw the top left window with the SW installation activity and it did finish in about 10 minutes

Here's some timing for reference:
From clicking the install icon on the desktop to install LMCE to completion it took "45 minutes" during the 45 minutes there is 15 minutes just for "cleaning build area"
After completing the Sarah setup wizard and from the "General info plug-in" busy message till completion is about "10 minutes"

 

bongowongo,
I have a dual core CPU, this time I'll pay more attention on the elapsed time for every step, and I'll capture all logs.

posde,
My last walk was about 40 minutes before I force it, I'll take this time longer walk, and I'll let you know.

Thanks.

huh,
I'm in process of reinstalling the whole system from scratch, I will look into this again and let you know.

Ok, I reinstalled the snapshot (23165) the 6th time and nothing connected to the core except the ethernet cables, this time I did not update anything in the KDE, I clicked LinuxMCE Icon on the desktop, it installed linuxmce, rebooted and I got the AV Wizard then Sara after that when completed Sara I couldn't continue it stuck at "task and cannot be reloaded right now: General Info Plug-in" so I force it then I got the main LinuxMCE screen after that I powered down the Hybrid and it tried to install MythTV-plugin for 10 minutes then 'xmltv utils' for 20 minutes and got the black screen with the white cursor and that it.

Can someone tell me what did I miss here !!!

Yes, i was using the last option, otherwise you don't get the LinuxMCE icon on the desktop

[DONE]

Actually that was the problem there is no error message, after it install Kubuntu and reboot, now you need to do the update &  dist-upgrade, here you get "Zero packages to update", then you double click LinuxMCE icon on the desktop, then it will take few minutes instead the normal ~30 minutes, and it will shows it is DONE and ask you to reboot, after reboot you get the terminal login prompt instead of the AV Wizard.

So after installing Kubuntu you need to apply the fix then do "apt-get update"  "apt-get dist-upgrade" if it ask you at the end to run it with -f switch then do "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" then you double click the "LinuxMCE icon" and you should be all set.

FYI, I was not able to install the latest snapshot without Possy Fix below

Yes please, Admin Guide will help.

I can't find where you can add users. That's why I stopped working on this, especially no documentation on how to configure, are you using LDAP server???

As far reloading the router, I dont have problem with my NAS in this regards, but currently with my D-Link NAS, I have to power up my LinuxMCE network first then power up the NAS second, other than that my MD's will not boot.

On one of my Md's got the database error as below, and the fix suggested earlier didn't work, any other ideas

I ran into a DB problem that was fixed. Just follow this link. http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/690
