Yeah I checked out the webadmin php code and found that too. Deleted existing, and recreated to see if it still occures. If it does I'm guessing its a bug?
47  LinuxMCE / Users / Timed Events Happening all days on: August 27, 2011, 12:28:36 am
Hi All,

I have had a timed event setup for awhile, it's setup to turn off MD's during the week but not on Friday and Saturday.

Sometimes it turns off on Friday and saturday nights. Are the settings saved as a cron job or similar that I can check?

Excellent News, and huge thanks to ALL who have helped :-)

On another note, I'm guessing mirror server is getting hammered with people downloading the new ISO, I'm giving it another go because it got to 2.8GB and stopped, perhaps a torrent might be a better way to share the load? I also have some space on my hosted server to act as a mirror if interested?

Oh, and I'm running 10.04 on the core so I guess this doesn't effect me at the moment, accept minor non-OS dependant fix's that may filter through (scripts, etc..)?

I've had similar problem, turned out the appropriate fonts weren't installed, mayde check those have been installed? I think it was a package with ms-ttf in it..

The failure to mount our file system relates to an entry in your PXE cfg's, example:
cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-19-d1-86-3d-93
...
APPEND initrd=139/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/49
...

Which again is an nfs mount point, which again should bring you back to the post I did earlier.
51  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: All MDs are down on: August 20, 2011, 02:44:54 pm
Check to make sure nfs daemon is running: /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start - check the logs for any errors

I'd be checking '/etc/exports' for:
...
## BEGIN : DisklessMDRoots

/usr/pluto/diskless/46  192.168.80.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
...
If you need to make changes try 'exportfs -a -v' before trying to boot your MD's

Check the file '/etc/fstab' on each orbiter: 'cat /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/fstab'
Look for something similar to the following:
...
192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/46     /        nfs intr,nolock,udp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,retrans=10,timeo=50 1 1
...

Tell us how you went?
Cheers

Hi All,

LONG story short, needed to migrate 4x1TB soft raid to 4x2TB soft raid and I wasn't able to all 8 plus OS drive in the server. After looking for a few bootable live CD's, and NAS distro's to try to get the old RAID back up and running to transfer the data to the new raid. Finally had a 'DERRRR' moment and PXE booted a PC as an MD and set the old raid up to migrate the data back to the server. So, Just an idea, but maybe it would be a good idea to have options when creating a new MD; eg: What do you want this PC to be? NAS, Squeeze-Slave pc, etc.. and then just run the appropriate script and extract the base image to the created diskless dir.

If you change your dial patterns in Freepbx.
Example: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Dialplan+Patterns
--------------------------
   _9011.          matches any string of at least five characters that starts with 9011,
                      but it does not match the four-character string 9011 itself.

All working no, and anyone else wants to use a thinclient or old x86 as a fake cheep squeeze box check out this for more info: http://www.modlog.net/?p=171
55  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: Embedded Audio Device on: July 10, 2011, 08:04:21 am
Ignore this post, all done - at least in VMWARE.
1. Download dsl-4.4.10.iso
2. Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/softsqueeze/files/squeezeslave/squeezeslave-0.9/squeezeslave-0.9-79-lnx24-i586.tar.gz/download
3. Get the binary above to auto start: "squeezeslave -r5 192.168.80.1"
4. Get the MAC address of the device your going to install it on to and create the squeezeslave device and enter the MAC there. At the moment I'm using the IP and MAC, not sure if you can get away with just the MAC address.

I haven't tried controlling from an orbiter yet due to people watching TV and I need a restart :-| The SqueezeCenter web interface works fine.

OK new alternative, DSL running Squeezeslave, will yet you all know how it goes.

57  LinuxMCE / Users / [Solved] Embedded Audio Device on: July 10, 2011, 04:02:12 am
Hi All,

I have been reading around this weekend and have been looking into using my thinclients as headless audio devices. I have been able to get them to PXE boot as MD's (http://www.modlog.net/?p=100) although there is a noticeable delay when starting songs, etc.. So my options so far have been:

1. squeezeos x86 install: cant successfully compile for anything other than arm processors; bootcdx86 = Fails, qemux86 = Fails. requires a lot more time investment to get them to work.
2. android x86 installed with squeeze player app installed - havent given it much thought, although in order to get squeeze app installed requires market to be installed. etc...

Anywho... anyone have any ideas to make use of them as light weight audio players that will be more responsive and compatible with linuxmce 10.04?

Cheers

Adding the "PK_EventHandler" criteria, as I suspect is what you did, does not work as you want it to.

There is no way to check the status of devices (lights on/off, media playing/not playing etc) within the event criteria, so I don't think its possible to set up the event the way you want.

br,
sambuca
I'm not sure how the timed event got there, but I have an event called "Watching - Home Theater"
PK_EventHandler Event parameter:PK_Room = Home Theater
I havent tried using it, so I'm guessing it's a lost cause? Isn't there a way to poll Xine_plugin to get filename or format etc?
59  LinuxMCE / Users / Re: lmce 1004 and MythTV on: June 18, 2011, 08:39:31 am
I was having the same issue with 1004 mythtv, and looked in the myth backend logs on the MD with the tv capture card:

TVRec(3): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
TVRec(3): HW Tuner: 3->3
TFW, Error: Opening file '/home/public/data/pvr/livetv/1073_20110618105005.mpg'.
      eno: Permission denied (13)
TVRec(3) Error: RingBuffer '/home/public/data/pvr/livetv/1073_20110618105005.mpg' not open...
TVRec(3) Error: CreateLiveTVRingBuffer() failed
TVRec(3) Error: Failed to create RingBuffer 1
TVRec(3): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None

etc.. And end up getting something similar to: All inputs are in use although Mythtv isn't recording anything... Tried changing the permissions on the directory, although it reverts back by the next time I use it to play LiveTV.

Dirty hack; a cron job: * * * * * root /bin/chmod 777 /home/public/data/pvr/livetv

Logs:
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
/var/log/pluto/<device#>_MythTV_Player.log

Hopes this helps.
