Hi all,
after a long time, i'm back and would like to upgrade from 10.04 to 16.04.
Is there a tool where i can preserve the configurations, like phone lines, extensions, etc, or do i need to install from scratch and configure all again?
With best regards,
Paulo
you could try upgrading to 14.04 by changing the package repositories to trusty in /etc/apt/sources.list, doing an apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade.
I would suggest backing up the system disk, before doing this.
16.04 is still being debugged, so it shouldn't be used, at present.

To add to what Tschak said: Phenigma had good success moving from system to the next by using the regular LinuxMCE Backup and Restore which is available from the web admin.
Thanks and based on the answer, i downloded the dvd image of 14.04.
It boots, splash screen, i choose hybrid install, and runs but does nothing.
Any hint for 14.04?
BR.
The preferred way of installing LinuxMCE these days is:
* Install regular (*)Ubuntu 1404 Desktop (32 or 64)
* Run netinstall.
Enjoy :-)

Thank you Posde. I thought only 32 bit would work. Ok, 64 bits prefered :)
Netinstall = wget mce-install.sh ?
Thanks!
wget -q https://git.linuxmce.org/linuxmce/linuxmce/raw/master/src/install-helpers/mce-install.sh && chmod +x mce-install.sh
ok, installed 14.04 64 bits, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, ubunt-drivers autoinstall, mce-install.sh, and at the end, rebooted. now i get mouse pointer, black screen with 0, mouse pointer, black screen with 0, and so on, endless.....
any clue?
Thanks,
another try. installed 14.04 fresh, not updates, mce-install.sh, went to the end, reboot and 0, mouse pointer, 0, mouse pointer, endless
nvidia 210 is my card....
Define endless.
Do you have another option of a graphics adapter?
endless.... looping ;)
no i don't have another graphic card.
I can enter rescue mode at boot and remove the nvidia drivers. any hint which driver shall i use for it?
blacklisted nouveau, removed nvidia*, installed drivers from NVIDIA NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run, same thing... 0, pointer, 0, pointer in a loop.
it seams that nvidia-install.sh is installing the removed drivers again.
did not give a try, but can i disable nvidia-install.sh so the NVIDIA NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102 stays? is it supported by lmce?
TIA
try this: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=14520.0
i did some minutes ago.
removed the nvidia drives (NVIDIA NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run --uninstall), removed all nvidia drives (304, 375, etc), downloaded from pastebin, used and the result was the same, with 340. Changed to 304, and the result was the same.
From ssh i could see AVWizard installing 340. did not work. Could see installing 304. Did not work either.
Any driver your recomend?
This hardware configuration worked with 10.04 (well, i build it and used the HD with lmce 10.04).
TIA

Last I looked, in nvidia-install.sh, the selection of which nvidia driver version is based on the version of Ubuntu. Even though I'm running 14.04, my graphics card only works with the 302 driver. I edited nvidia-install.sh to only be able to install the 302 driver.
You may have similar situation

Thank you ardirtbiker. Where do i find 302? seached and did not find.
I made a mistake... it is actually nvidia 304.135 (not 302)
When my MD was doing this, I was watching the dmesg log (on my core) at the file /usr/pluto/diskless/35/var/log and saw that there were messages stating that no NVIDIA card was found supported by the driver (340 and 352)
in nvidia-install.sh there is this
case " $Driver_Current_Supported " in *" $PCI_Id "*)
case $(lsb_release -cs) in
precise)
echo "nvidia-340" ;;
trusty)
echo "nvidia-352" ;;
xenial)
echo "nvidia-361" ;;
esac
return 1
and there is
case $(lsb_release -cs) in
precise)
echo "nvidia-340"
return 1
;;
trusty)
echo "nvidia-352"
return 1
;;
xenial)
echo "nvidia-361"
return 1
;;
esac
I changed them all to "nvidia-304" in the nvidia-install.sh that was in /usr/pluto/diskless/35/usr/pluto/bin/ directory (for my media director device 35...yours may be different if MD). You should also be able to edit this file on the core /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
If I remember, it wasnt until i modified /etc/pluto.conf and changed either 'firstboot' or 'avwizarddone' values (or both) to get it to re-install the correct nvidia-304 driver.
yes, i did it also, trying 304 and 340. did not work.
is nvidia-install.sh really necessary if a nvidia driver is already installed and working (lightdm)?
One of the programmers would know that answer. I know it gets called to run in certain conditions.

well, i could not find the way to install it..... :-[
it simply does not start avwizard. it loops from mouse pointer to black screen with 0 on the toop left corner.
tried 304, 340, nothing works.
Did you edit nvidis-install.sh? Or temporarily rename it? It's set to run automatically and can reinstall over the other nvidia driver. You can also switch to another terminal and observe log messages...that is how I determined that my card was not supported by the drivers Tgat nvidia-instsll.sh was installing.

yes, i did edit nvidia-install.sh and did not work. Did also rename it, and created a nvidia-install.sh with "exit 0". did not work either.
purchased a nvidia 6800 and as soon i receive it will try again.
Strange indeed. My core has older nvidia card that only works with 304 driver. My MD in living room has a card that will only go as high as 340 driver. Editing nvidia-install.sh has always worked for my situation.. trying other card may resolve your issue

I have quite a similiar experience....fresh install of 14.04. i tried the last image as well as net install. Its booting...displays 0 in the top left, goes blank, reboots. All of this continuously. The graphicscard in this case is a cheap gt710.

Along with modifying nvidia-install.sh, delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf file AND in /etc/pluto.conf, change Firstboot = false to Firstboot = true...and then reboot

If we can get the PCI id's of the cards in question then lmce can automatically choose the correct driver.
`lspci -nn | grep VGA`
I think that gives what we need.

here you go Phenigma:
my CORE (that will only run driver up to version 304.135)
00:18:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G71 [GeForce 7950 GT] [10de:0295] (rev a1)
my MD (that will only run driver up to version 340.102):
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] [10de:1244] (rev a1)
Could I get you to create an Issue in GitLab at https://git.linuxmce.org/ so we can track this and not lose it?
Thanks!
