good to see you got it working, if you have any comments and/or additions for the wiki, please put them in.

Richard

b4rney don't worry to much on how it does it, just follow the wiki. it will basically assign the squeezelave to that bathroom as an "md" (sorta) so you can control it with the orbiters. Just change rooms to the bathroom and control the audio played.

Sorry to see you are having problems with this, don't give up though.

Richard

Put it in the Bathroom, it's seen as a "separate" device for lmce

I would try 14, 13 or 4 in that order

Richard

Your question sparked me to do a search to monitor multiple pc's on a network and i found the following.

http://msetimon.sourceforge.net/

With some work you could probably make this show in webadmin or an orbiter, not sure where to start but you can look at the system first.

I don't think this is something very "needed" in orbiter, but just a tool for the admin to see what "bogging up" an md. You can just ssh into the one though and run top from command.

Richard

nice find are you playing hd video on this, meaning 1080p?

Richard

yes, that's an old version from march last year, try to build it yourself and see if these devices are detected better.
Looks like they are at 1.0 r210

http://code.google.com/p/squeezeslave/downloads/list

I will look at this when i get back home sunday, i don't have access to my system atm.

Richard

P.S. squeezeslave -v should give you the version

had a lot of problem getting squeezeslave to see these cmedia usb audio cards and talked to the squeezeslave developer about it.
In the end i never really got it working with a Cmedia and bought some other brands that did show up.

What version of squeezeslave are you using? you could try to update to the latest and see if it gets detected now. There were some issues with the stream or something, can't really remember, the developer might have fixed it.

Richard

ok, let's get the words right this time

An install of lmce should go as follows

You first install your core/hybrid by installing from a snapshot dvd OR using the install scripts
When this all works (the core/hybrid has it's own build in md if that's what you mean, nothing extra to install)
run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh and let it finish
Now you can boot an extra md through PXE boot

Again, if you want to do the internet install for the core/hybrid, you used the wrong install scripts, follow bongowongo's link for the right one's.

I still recommend a snapshot though.

Richard

hey, i use 2 zotac ion's and even the n230 version, it's working great, even with 1080p because of vdpau.

So in my opinion you can't go bad with either one, but the zotac is probably more plug and play.
Remember that you will probably get a black screen for the AVWizard and need to use the number or q key to get into the AVWizard. If you want to use hdmi sound, make sure you unmute the channels in alsamixer.

I choose the n230 because it had passive cooling, and i didn't want any noise coming from these md's
As far as i know the 330 needs a fan, the 525 i don't really know

Richard

yrucrem why don't you just download a snapshot and install.

The problem is that you are using the wrong installer file, i can't find the right location at the moment, but will when i get home today.

Richard

axel, i understand your curiousity, but 1004 is not yet in any state to be installed. Getting close though.

there are patches committed every day, if you want to test/help test and /or help fix, please come to the irc channel(s)

Richard

actually pluto-admin will just redirect you to lmce-admin.

Try to ping the core from your pad

Try the full address for the core like: http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/index.php

Are you sure you are connected to the same router in the "internal" network?

If you are on the external you would have to open some ports and/or turn the firewall of the core off.

Richard

i use the tar ball way and it works fine, there are programs out there that do backups, i can't remember the names, either way you have to use a "rescue, or live cd" to restore.

make sure if you use the tar way to exclude the dir's you don't want to backup (like mounts, media, etc..)

Here is the commands i use:

to backup with tar

Code:

tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/sys --exclude=/home/coredump /

to restore with tar

Code:

tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /

Richard

Beeker, if your system is working normally a new snapshot install i really not necessary, just do a apt-get update, upgrade for the latest packages.

Also maybe do an sqlcvs update as it's possibile somebody already fixed/or made changes to the template.

You can then also try to remove the gyration from webadmin and have it redetected.

Richard

Gaspala, you would need to setup a build environment to do this.

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

It depends on many other packages, basically you do a complete build of lmce 1 time, after this you can build single packages for testing.
