Developers / Re: New GSD Device Template for Linksys IP Cams

« on: March 27, 2009, 02:11:53 pm »

ok, tried it on friends machine ( no point trying on mine as it already has all the data in the relevant tables )

All worked perfectly except the ruby commands were messed up....it has put in tons of extra commands that werent part of the template ( i.e. number keys, media buttons etc ) and inserted some of these with default hex IR codes.  I deleted these and manually entered the ruby code by hand.

So other than that it worked well. Many thanks

Developers / New GSD Device Template for Linksys IP Cams

« on: March 26, 2009, 09:40:18 pm »

I have put a GSD device template together for linksys ip cameras, i have tested it with my own WVC200 model and it all works great, plug n play etc.  Not tested on any other models.

A friend is using lmce and also has a linksys cam, whats the best way to export/import...i have tried Posde php script as listed here

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6274.0

But it generates errors during the export, although the sql it generates does look in order i cannot be certain until i test it ( which i dont want to do on my own db right now ).  Are there any other means to do this effectively ?

If someone can also let me know how i can get it integrated into the sqlCVS i can have a look at that.  I will also put a wiki page together for the cam model.


Thanks

Developers / Error compiling 0810 - Zaptel source

« on: March 25, 2009, 05:24:57 pm »

Finally got a new machine put together for 0810 and followed these instructions:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810

When running scripts/build_replacements.sh i get the following error

<sub>Preparing to replace zaptel-source 1:1.4.11~dfsg-2 (using .../zaptel-source_1%3a1.4.11~dfsg-2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement zaptel-source ...
Setting up zaptel-source (1:1.4.11~dfsg-2) ...
.
Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found
and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use.

Updated infos about 1 packages

However, you can install the header files for your kernel which are provided by
the linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic package. For most modules packages, these
files are perfectly sufficient without having the original kernel source.

To install the package, run:

module-assistant prepare

or

apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic</sub>




Is the current svn version broke and so should i revert to an earlier release or have i missed something ?


Thanks

Thanks Hari.

Going to setup a separate box for using the 0810 codebase and go from there.

Users / Fujitsu Flepia - Possible orbiter

Looks nice, can run windows CE

Potential for an orbiter, ignoring the refresh rate...Perhaps a longshot.....but one can imagine.

Colin,  i would like to maintain a fully working system as it is used throughout the house by all the family, but i guess i could setup a separate box for development based on 0810 and keep the existing 0710 system in place for now....

So yeah i think you are correct, i'll make that leap to an 0810 environment.

Thanks

ok, thanks Hari.

By any chance might you have any pointers as to how to do this...do i change need to compile all the 0810 plugins or just the Media_Plugin....do i change the Makefile in the 0810 version to point to the libs etc in 0710 or can i simply copy the 0810 plugin source into my 0710 branch and sort out the dependencies etc ?

Many thanks for you assistance.

Some further info:

The original Media_Plugin.so file has a size of 15785848 bytes

The newly built Media_Plugin.so has a size of 15697076 bytes

As mentioned in my original post, i havent changed any of the source....just built from the svn package

and also followed Hari's procedure as used in recompiling the climate and lighting plugin as described here

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_support_for_floorplan_devices

that procedure is from Bulek iirc not me..

looks like it fails to initialize the lauchmanager device..

Indeed you are correct Hari, apologies...i modified my original post. Thanks

Hi

I have setup a development environment on my 0710 core as i would like to get to know the codebase and hopefully proceed to contributing something. I followed the instructions as listed here

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Setting_Up_A_Development_Environment

and

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_From_Source

and also followed Bulek's procedure as used in recompiling the climate and lighting plugin as described here

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_support_for_floorplan_devices

The source i downloaded is from http://svn.linuxmce.org/pluto/branches/LinuxMCE-0710


In my case i am attempting to compile the media plugin, so i followed Bulek's procedure as described in the above link but substitute his Climate and Lighting plugins with the Meda Plugin.

All appears to build correctly, the Media_Plugin.so is created. 

Please note i have made no source changes at this stage, i am simply trying to get the media plugin to build and then check to see it works within the system.

After copying the newly created Media_Plugin.so to /usr/pluto/bin/ and forcing a reload of the router, the launch manage reports the following :

Connecting to router at 127.0.0.1
initialise_LMdevice: Connect Failed
initialise_LMdevice: Not retrying
will retry later

It then continues to loop through the above.

If i copy the original Media_Plugin.so back in again, all loads correctly.  So obviously i am missing something in my build procedure that is creating a dud library. 

Anyone got any ideas as to what i am doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance.
