Installation issues / Re: Netboot - Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf

theteju,
Your network interface card is not recognized. In my experience realtek cards are terrible and linux drivers may not be available. I suggest buying a 100Mb or 1k intel nic, $30 at most places. you can search for the ubuntu hardware compatibility list if you want more options.

Installation issues / Re: Create Raid Issues
« on: April 06, 2010, 07:10:48 am »
What is the partition type of each of the drives ? I use fd 'Linux raid autodetect' for software RAID and type 8e 'Linux LVM' for hardware RAID.
whats the output of mdadm --detail /dev/md0 ?
I haven't used the RAID configuration under LinuxMCE. I built my RAID directly with mdadm like so.
# mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
easy way to follow the build progress.
# watch 'cat /proc/mdstat'
whats the output of mdadm --detail /dev/md0 ?

Installation issues / Re: Failing Nvidia Drivers
« on: April 06, 2010, 06:54:36 am »
I don't think the install scripts will downgrade your video drivers from 195 to 190.
You can always run 'aptitude' to hold back versions of any packages from being upgraded.
no need for you to re-install. i goto the console screen with ALT-F2, then start sshd, and login that way to view /var/log/xorg.*
you can always do # ls -latr /var/log to see which logs are being updated last.
tell us the output returned by these commands.
sudo dkms status
sudo dpkg -l \*nvidia\*
sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Make sure you are using the at least version 190 of nvidia driver. You can check with # sudo dpkg -l \*nvidia\*
# sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r'
Have you gone through the "what if i get a black screen troubleshooting?"
You can use the ALT-F2 or CTRL-ALT-F2 to change over to console mode, login and check logs, such as /var/log/xorg.0.log
Run these command and reply with your results.
# dkms status
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Users / Re: Orbiter feature that can organize better ?
« on: January 17, 2010, 06:07:35 pm »
If the codebase is being totally re-written, then here are some other features to think about.
I have thousands of songs that are organized into directories such as "70's" or "heavy_metal" or "190EP-DLK." Alot of the mp3 tags are not correct so they can be tough to find, and It's easier to create/navigate genres and group one hit wonders together. That way I don't have alot extra junk on the main orbiter UI. It would be alot easier if the orbiter could just use the file/folder structure I created on the hard drive. Is this possible and worthwhile to implement ? I imagine several users haave 10,000 or so songs they dont feel like updating the mp3 tags.
I haven't tried any of the scripts that automatically try to update the mp3 tags. What kind of success have people had and is there a tutorial/best practice ?
Another feature is the random selector. I think it would be cool, to just goto "Audio" in the Orbiter UI then hit random, and it starts playing out of the entire selection.
Also, I think one should be able to remove current song playing from the playlist then automatically save the playlist.
And Lastly, it would be nice for the O-UI to remember where it left off, so if playing several media from the same section (title/chapter/season/episode) would be easy to queue or play next one instead always having to start at the top.

Users / Orbiter feature that can organize better ?
« on: January 12, 2010, 04:32:03 pm »
I have 8.10, beta installed.
On the orbiter where one can select video and then movie titles, is there a way to have sub categories ? I have several seasons of tv shows and would like to only List the main show instead of each episode? On the audio side one can select group, then only CD's are listed, then finally you can drill down to just the songs for that CD.
Does that make sense ? Is there a proper way to get that done ? I didn't see anything like that in the wiki.
Thanks,

Installation issues / Re: Problem with AVWizard in beta2
« on: January 12, 2010, 04:15:11 pm »
check to make sure X drivers are working correctly with the 9400, and the sound drivers.
you may need to install the latest alsa drivers manually.
what does the /var/log/Xorg.0.log say ?

195 drivers are not available as part of the intrepid 810 (and earlier) standard repositories.
Follow the directions below or you can try installing straight from NVIDIA's linux installer, 190 didn't work for me very well, but the beta 195 does.

Installation issues / Re: AV Wizard Repeats 0810 Fresh Install
« on: January 10, 2010, 04:52:43 am »
The LMCE router is probably configured for the wrong connector type (i.e. VGA instead of HDMI). Try selecting a different one. Check the troubleshooting guide on the keyboard shortcuts for this.
One can access a different console to check the /var/log/pluto/AVWizard.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log by selecting ctrl-alt-F2 and logging in with a valid account.
what does /etc/pluto.conf show ? and /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

I am by no means an expert,
try
making sure your sources.list version such as 'hardy', agrees with your 'lsb_release -a'
# sudo aptitude reinstall pluto-dcerouter
or you could try replacing 'reinstall' with 'remove' and when that's done, 'install'.
