Hya,
i do need subtitles support, and got a suggestion to rename the srt file.
I have Avatar.avi and Avatar.srt, and according to the suggestion i symlinked the Avatart.srt to Avatar.avi.srt.
Did not work.
Renamed Avatar.srt to Avatar.avi.srt.
Did not work.
Please, is there a way to use subtitles?
Could one of the developers give me some hint in how to make it work, because in the file /etc/pluto/xine.conf. i've found:
# Subtitle autoloading
# bool, default: 1
#gui.subtitle_autoload:1
As i understand, the default should be autoloading subtitles, but it does not.
I tryed to uncoment the line gui.subtitle_autoload:1, hopping it could help, but no effect.
Is there a way to make it work, or would it be better to download the whole source tree and try to find out where to fix it?
TIA
Paulo

The EDID option worked for me in the BETA 1 with the nvidia restricted drivers, but i think EDID will only work with digitally conected devices, like HDMI, DCI and VGA. I don´t think it will work with component lines, because the graphical card will not be able to "inquire"  your device (TV).

CRTL-Alt-F1 or CRTL-ALT-F2
Log in, and type ksmserver <enter>
You will receive something like "not installed, enter sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace-bin"
Do it: sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace-bin.
It will be installed.
Also do a sudo apt-get install konsole dolphin systemsettings synaptic
After this, CTRL-ALT-F7 and under KDE you will be able to install whatever necessary with synaptic.
It worked for me.
Hope this helps.

EDIT: corrected the systemsetting to systemsettings

Thx, i will try and give a feedback.
BTW, how do i create a wiki with my configuration, experience and workarounds?

Hya,
i´ve installed the beta 2 in my upgrade machine, and after that, i configured mythtv. I´m using the Hauppuge PVR -150. When starting TV (mythtv), i get i bottom stripe, colored like a rainbow, and i´m not able to make this stripe go away. Did anyone face such a problem?
Configuration:
PVR-150 with antena on coax. Scanning "try-all" does nothing. Scanning us-bcast only brings 4 channels, but i have channels from 2 to 103. Scanning us-cable also does nothing.
TIA

Could it be related with rebuild or resync? Because it was build with mdadm, and after build, i transfered around 250 GB of files. After this initial transfer, the computer was shut down. The next day, i started lmce and imediately tryed to play movies. The computer slowed down up to freeze the mouse. I restarded the computer again, thinking something hanged. Tryed to start the other partition, with a kubuntu only. The same happened, slowing down up to freeze the mouse. I shutted it down again.
I suspect that after transfering files, the raid system needs a time to rebuild or resync. Am i right?

Try following (is what i am doing to test some issues).
If you have disk space, use another partition and install a fresh kubuntu 8.10 and update / upgrade it.
With the kubuntu only system, test it and if it works, save the xorg.conf file and copy it to the lmce partition.
Some of the issues i had with overscan and outputs, i solved that way.
I'm having a problem with raid 5 (very slow read performance) and i was able to detect that it is related with the raid 5 and not with lmce.
lmce is still beta, and bugs or problems appears, and having a stable system to test some issues helps to identify if they are related with lmce or with the os / utilities.

Hya,
after upgrading my hybrid (Asus M3N78-VM with AMD 955 and 2 GB), i've installed 4 drives:
1 with 320 GB for boot and system and 3 drives with 500 GB each and configured these 3 drives with mdadm making a RAID 5 array (/dev/md0).
My problem:
after transfering almost all my videos (avi, mkv, mpg, etc), when trying to play any of them, i get freezing during the playback, at the very beginning... then it accelerates the play and stops again.... during this freezings, the mouse also stops for a while.
The drive led indicator remains lit during this freezings.
I think that the array is simply too slow transfering the files... and that it's management drains all the resources.
Did anyone had such an experience or knows what could be happening?
It's the first time i'm trying to use mdadm and a RAID 5 array.
TIA

Paulo

I'm using the HDMI output on a Asus M3N78-VM mobo.

Hya,

before installing beta2 (latest), i was running the november version. In this version, i installed the restricted nvidia 180 module after apt-get dist-upgrade.
With that, applying the ugly hack, and setting the useEDID flag to true solved the overscan issue.

With this new beta, the 195.30 nvidia drivers where installed , and even with the useEDID flag setted to true, the overscan issue is back.

No matter what i've tryed, i could not solve the overscan issue.

So, searching, i've found that i could use the nvidia-settings utility to solve the ovescan issue.
Opening nvidia-settings under kde, GPU-0 -> DFP-0 (in my case, Philips 37_42 LCD TV) and playing with te Ovescan Compensation ruler, i've found that 64 solves my ovescan problem.
Now, under nvidia-settings Configuration, Saving the curent configution created the file .nvidia-settings-rc.
Browsing this file, i've found the following line: dcerouter:0.0/OverscanCompensation[DFP-0]=64
Searching and researching, i've found the /etc/pluto/X-PostStart.sh, and it contained the following:
#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -a "SyncToVBlank=1"
nvidia-settings -a "XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1"
nvidia-settings -a "XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=1"
So, i did the following modification:
#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings -a "OverscanCompensation[DFP-0]=64"
nvidia-settings -a "SyncToVBlank=1"
nvidia-settings -a "XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1"
nvidia-settings -a "XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=1"
After rebooting the system, the overscan issue was gone.
My personal feeling is that the image quality with the 180 nvidia restricted driver was better than the 195.30 driver.
Maybe someone can tell me why or can tell me how to improve the image (fonts, etc..) quality.

As i suggested, start all over again....
It happened to me at least four times... and finally i got everything.
Will tonight reinstall all again to be sure.

the http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9548.0 topic shows a workaround.

got the same. did a apt-get install kdm. did not work.

ddyck - you will need to start all over.

caiman - after post-install (even missin the pluto-asterisk), i did reboot and the AVWizard startded and during the initial configuration, i saw that the missing modules where installed.

Best regards.
