Ok first time user of linuxmce. Installed 8.10 everything looks great and I even got some of my x10 things working. Problem is with media director. Gone through all the links on the internet I could find with no luck. Heres my setup, Ethernet cable from my cable modem to my core/ media director, another ethernet cable from my core/ media director to a netgear wireless router where everything else in my house hooks to. When I try to netboot my acer revo it never connects? I have tried to run the /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh because I thought thats what was wrong but still nothing. Nothing ever pops up on my core saying something new was detected not even a usb drive with music on it? I figure I must be missing something major in my install or something?  |

hmm sounds alright...
So you try to PXE boot but it can't find any ip to connect with? Any failure messages?
sorry, can't help a lot...

USB drives with music are not best practice.
Try to insert a music CD, and you will see something will pop up on your screen.
Also you should try to copy a lot of files through the network. go to \\192.168.80.1 and put the files in the appropriate folders.

Is your netgear router running dhcp? If so maybe it is conflicting with the core.
It is necessary to run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh once to get your mds working. This takes a long time.

Also make sure sources.list is correct, otherwise problems may occur. |

Some things that can go wrong (if you didn't do it already):
As I understand your description, your router is hooked up inside the linuxmce subnet (Otherwise disregard my answer).
- Turn off DHCP on your router
- Do not use WAN/Internet port on router, only LAN ports
- Set the ip address of the router to something in MCE subnet address space (i.e 192.168.80.NNN)
- Remove the routers ip address from the MCE DHCP address space to avoid conflict. This is done in the MCE web admin.

Agree with bongowongo about the sources.list.
Change all references to 'archive' or 'security' to 'old-releases' AND remove any local references (e.g. gb.archive.ubuntu.com becomes old-releases.ubuntu.com).
Then rerun /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh.
Hope this helps

Thanks for all the replies so far everyone I will try some of the suggestions, the image I used I downloaded around oct 28 not sure if that makes a difference? Is this something common to always have to do during a first setup, as far as changing the places where the updates come from? Or does it usually just work from the get go on it's own? As far as the /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh goes I have tried several times only to get the wait 10sec message repeatedly.

OK so how do I pull up the sources list to adjust them if they are incorrect?
