Installation issues / Re: Installation issues - MythTV

I also had this problem some time ago. If I recall correctly I did a reboot and LMCE picked up where it was and completed the download. Make sure you complete the AV Wizard.

And one more thing, if you happen to have an iPhone - iPeng now has an built in Squeezeslave. Costs approx €10 and gives you a quite ok solution. Works perfectly with LMCE.

Squeezeslave is very good, but make sure to pay attention to the quality of the sound card. Personally I run a Squeezebox 3, here in Sweden you can get them used for less than €80 and that's a bargain considering the sound quality.

Concerning the MD: Does it have a built in WLAN? If so, disable it in the BIOS.

Yes, that was my initial thought since I've never even seen Ruby code before, C and C++ are my "native" languages. The only thing stopping me was lack of a proper development environment for LMCE and time to set it up.
I have one more project going and since I most likely will work on Tellstich Duo I imagine that to be much better in C++ so I better get going...

No Tellstick Dou yet. I'll contact Telldus; I just though I'd better wait until I had a working development environment.

Finally I've managed to get my Tellstick implementation to operate as expected. Lack of time and lack of a working server (had to do 2 reinstalls by various reasons). The device template is available now, just do a sqlCVS update to pull it from the central repo; important to first get the DCE part and then the IR part).

I'll appreciate any feedback and proposals for further refinements.

Why hang up? Wouldn't it be better to lead the annoying caller into a long series of "Wait, your call is rerouted", some music, some more rerouting and finally a swift disconnect? At least if the cost of the call is on the caller.

Locally, we have a service (Nix! = Nope! in english) that blacklists all unwanted callers on a national level. You just opt into this and then there's more or less no such calls anymore. This is something to copy to other countries.

Installation issues / Re: Webpad not able to log onto web-admin

It's 192, not 191
But I think the point was lmce-admin rather than pluto-admin

There's no real drawback of using a 64 bit host OS; really it ought to be standard since it'll allow for future memory upgrades without any negative effects.
32 bit guests are fully supported under a 64 bit host OS.

On the Advanced|Confiuration menu you have a Backups page. I've done it a few times and it produces a .tar.gz file which you can place on a stick or where you like it.
I'm not sure exactly what's backed up, but I supposed it's all LMCE configuration data and no MP3s or other stuff you add yourself.

Another option, including full ghosting of you harddisk can be found in the live-CD Trinity Resque Disk. I has saved me a couple of times for both Windows and Linux systems. To be found at http://trinityhome.org/

That is a great suggestion for running an orbiter in the kitchen. Why didn't I think of that?  ;D

Developers / Re: GSD syntax error outside of my code
« on: January 25, 2011, 08:53:34 am »
It's actually nothing much to it. Strange thing is it worked Sunday morning and without me doing anything (well, at least I'm not aware of changing anything related to this device template) I got the error.

Here's the code:

# #373 Private Method Listing
#
#

def log(line)
# This function logs a line to the log file of the device
log = File.open("/var/log/pluto/" + device_.devid_.to_s + "_Generic_Serial_Device.log", "a")
log.puts Time.now.to_s + " (Ruby script):" + line.to_s
log.close
end

###


# #384 Process Receive Command For Child
#
#

cmdId = cmd.id_ # Command ID: ON, OFF, SET LEVEL
cmdTo = cmd.devidto_ # Device ID in LinuxMCE
devPort = device_.childdevices_[cmdTo].devdata_[12] # 12 contains a port/channel
childType = device_.childdevices_[cmdTo].devtemplid_ # Template ID to know type of device: switch or dimmer
level = 0

log ("Command received for port " + devPort)

case cmdId
when 192 # ON
system('tdtool --on ' + devPort)
log ("Device set to ON")

when 193 # OFF
system('tdtool --off ' + devPort)
log ("Device set to OFF")

when 184 # Change level of dimmer
level = cmd.params_[76].to_i*255/100
system('tdtool --dimlevel ' + level.to_s + ' --dim ' + devPort)
log ("Dim level set to " + level.to_s)
end

Developers / GSD syntax error outside of my code
« on: January 24, 2011, 09:52:28 pm »
I've got a Ruby problem, and I cannot see how to mend it. I get:

(eval):3: syntax error, unexpected $end, line: 3

And since line 3 is outside of my control I really don't know what to do.

Line 3 : class Device_120 < Ruby_Generic_Serial_Device::RubySerialWrapper

I get this for the two device templates I'm experimenting with at the moment.

Any pointers or clues?

No news yet, sorry for that. Something is broken in my development environment, resulting in syntax errors outside of my code. I'll try to mend this in the coming days.
Be patient, it will be available, and I got the dimming to work before the development environment broke down.
