Dear All I´m very happy to see people interested on this topic, I really wish I could understand Linux more to help, I just dropped the idea but you guys are amazing  , for me you are all talking in another language but I'm starting to learn little by little.

Keep up the good work, I wish I could bring the beers for moral support but I guess it will be a little bit difficult.

chears!

The best help would be to test it. Of course it is doing upgrade work, which can break things, and in an experimental way, which can break things... if you wanted to test, you might make a clonezilla backup to an external drive.

To test a script, just go download it (bottom of page of link, choose original format) on your core. Find it (typically in /root/Desktop if you use firefox in LMCE) and cd into the directory in a shell. Then do the following

Code:

chmod +x globalUpgrades.16.sh
./globalUpgrades.16.sh

save the output of that window... and report successes or failures...

There are even backups made of the MDs in case things go haywire... and as I mentioned, I need to add some DB backup, and it becomes a fairly benign process.

I also have this problem. I was just reverting back to old images... which has been fine because I have been working on an upgrade utility... but will try the MD rebuilding.

I have just downloaded a snapshot to install LinuxMCE, but the process fails, due to Intrepid repositories set up by the install script has been removed (it was deleted 30. april).

Are there any workaround for a fresh install if LinuxMCE in todays market where Intrepid is not so hot anymore ?

GIH

The installer should automatically changed these repositories
Can you please paste your sources.list (after clicking the installer) here?

I have attached a script that should blow open all mixer channels on all cards. This is meant to occur before AVWizard eventually.

It works for my onboard sound... but as AVWizard is doing its own switching magic, I intend to unmute and raise volume on everything (onboard, 1 card, 2 cards, whatever...) and then mute unneeded channels after AVWiz does its thing.

In order to use this script, please download onto your core someplace
then cd into the directory it lives in

Code:

sudo su
alsamixer

Mute everything and exit (esc).

Code:

chmod +x amix.sh
./amix.sh

Then please check your alsamixer and make sure everything is unmuted and report success or failure here. Then feel free to mute everything you normally do. Also let me know if the levels are all pegged, or if they (as intended) are at 60%. I will handle the re-muting after AVWizard.

Please then paste the output of a file which is created in the same directory named amix.log
This is mine:

Code:

cat amix.log

umamix.sh generated script

To run on an md, as root, where XX is your moon number:

Code:

cp /wherever/exists/on/core/amix.sh /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/usr/pluto/bin   
ssh moonXX
/usr/pluto/bin/amix.sh

Then

Code:

cat /usr/pluto/bin/amix.log

and paste here...

Thanks for those who help.

I've used that script on .18 .21 .22 and .23 I've never had a problem. Download .23 from mythtvs website and then use the myth.find_orphans.pl from that after you uncompress. It's in the /mythtv/contrib section somewhere. Maybe the newest version of the script has been modified

Can you please post your working script here so that perhaps we can perhaps include it somewhere?

No... I need to get back to this and make more dynamic changes. I made a simple change which auto-detected 2 ati chipsets, and hoped that it had been a "magic fix". It was not. The code is all there... it just needs to be "fixed".

Others are welcome to dive in.

The scripts will be run from the MDs environment so the scripts need to be overridden there.  Yes, the -f option should probably be used.

As for the {,.lmce-update}: the {A,B} substitutes a value of A for the first argument and substitutes the value of B for the second argument.  So sometext{A,B} expands to: sometextA sometextB.

J.

I figured that part out... I guess I just don't understand where lmce-update is coming from... and how it is available to both directories... I thought that was why I was creating the TEMP environment, and why I was just moving them about to and from there.

I really appreciate your help.

I see now that it creates /dir/file.lmce-update and then transfers it back.

Here is the latest. Had to move a bunch of stuff around.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.16.sh

Now I need to incorporate the system backup function (I don't know if it is more than a sql dump) and exclude some directories from the tarring process... and then make a button under computing, which ideally spawns a monitor window, sort of like the web admin does for certain functions.

I also made a few changes...

My understanding was that I needed to address the scripts from the core, but expect you are correct. Thank you very much.
I do not understand:

Code:

mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{,.lmce-update}

or

Code:

mv /usr/pluto/diskless/$moonDir/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d{.lmce-update,}

Though in the Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh which I was stealing some of this method from it worked similarly. I was just moving the damned files obviously.

Also, if the files exist (as we make fakes), will this methodology require a -f (force) move to avoid overwrite confirmation?

How does this look?
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.15.sh
Other than not being as pretty as yours...

Great work!

An observation:

MDs already mount the core's /usr/pluto/deb-cache when they boot, for chroot upgrades the directory can be bound locally (mount --bind /usr/pluto/deb-cache /usr/pluto/diskless/XX/usr/pluto/deb-cache) on the core, negating the need to copy the .debs to the /usr/pluto/diskless/* locations.  Duplicating the contents of the core's /usr/pluto/deb-cache for each MD is redundant and adds up to a huge amount of HD space.

Upgrade the core, then copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to /usr/pluto/deb-cache, run dpkg-scanpackages and gzip the Packages file.  Then all MDs can have access to the latest files.

J.

Thanks for the feedback.

On my 810 install, the only files that exist in the cores /var/cache/apt/archives are ones which upgrade. This is possibly a result of something in the past I have done.

Yes... it took me a couple of rereads to understand, and a little poking around to confirm, but you are exactly right... and that cleans this whole process up. Thank you very much. MUCH better way to handle it. I didn't realize a lot of that... and now I don't have to edit that Packages file... yay.


http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.13.sh

That is so much cleaner. Will test in a few. Thanks again Phenigma! I have never used --bind before... I am presuming that I can umount the second directory in the bind when I am done with the process for each MD to avoid... weirdness.

http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/341/globalUpgrades.10.sh

That is where I am. Here is the output after upgrading... (note core had already been upgraded, and output was huge due to database upgrade)

I clearly have a couple things to fix, and a few things I already have.

***The latest script is untested. I believe it works as desired. Will test shortly... including force closing to test the trap.

There is... but I believe this does not address MDs. I am thinking of just a global update button you can click if you want. I am also going to tar all of the md directories on the core, and try and use the systems db backup in case things go terribly wrong.

hari: done

Everyone else: completely redoing this and chrooting the MDs for upgrade. Ignore that first stumble into the idea. And the ticket has been closed. So much for a quick attack.

http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1099

Should work. Presumes MDs are on. Testing now. Can probably make a button in computing pretty easy. Will get back.


*I'm an idiot... that first one will exit after first moon unit is upgraded.

Ok, orbiter regen is finished, but no on screen orbiter.
Just a black screen with a mouse cursor.

Lets just think it is like windows machine, and reboot for every minor change.

After the reboot only a black screen with a mouse cursor.

Is there a way to manually start the orbiter?

Dap-P, that is too much effort. Something(s) didn't install.

Try just downloading the snapshot, choosing the "Install LinuxMCE" option, then just clicking the button.
The sources are changed automatically, as are the update/dist-upgrade.
Still ignore any Kdesudo errors.
Please report back on progress, and let me know what country you are in.

It goes from God to TSCHAK, to HW development, to RIAA/MPAA, back to development, to cable, to you, to congress. This is not a congressional forum.

Yes... it is not populating the appropriate fields.

Alpha layering is not likely ever going to work as ATI does not handle the compositing.
If you want to force yours to work you can probably add

Code:

        Identifier      "Card0"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "LinearAlloc"           "16384"

in the Section "Device" (note: may or may not need to change your Identifier)
but... it should REALLY be doing it itself. Will investigate further. Thank you again very much.
