Title: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: Niels on May 17, 2007, 02:25:28 am: Hallo,

I have installed Kubuntu okee.
And i have the 2 linuxmce CD's but i do not understand what i need to do now,
What do i do to install it?
I'm not a Linux user more a Windows(tm) user. And i expect that i insert a CD and the installation starts.
When not i need to find a Readme file that tells me what i need to do.
I missing both of them,

Can some one help?

thanks

Post by: ddamron on May 17, 2007, 03:06:38 am: if you stick the disc in the drive, open (or mount) the drive, (you;ll get a CDROM icon on your screen)
right click the mce-installer_2.0.1-1_i386.deb file and select Kubuntu Package Menu, and Install Package.

That will put an icon on your screen. Click that icon to start the installation.

Post by: cckrobinson on May 17, 2007, 03:27:33 am: Can I install 1.1 over top of 1.0? It sounds like 1.1 has a new installer, it uses Kubuntu, can run in a window, etc. Am I better off completely removing 1.0 before I install or does the new installer take care of it?

I don't see any mention of this anywhere. I know it's beta, but most of us probably already have a previous installation on their box.

Post by: ddamron on May 17, 2007, 03:38:54 am: That's because your running Ubuntu 6.10, not KUBUNTU 7.04 - best to reinstall OS

Download the KUBUNTU FIESTY DVD

Post by: Eirik on May 17, 2007, 03:50:57 am: Just did a backup via the Admin web panel to prep for the 1.1 install and looking inside the .tgz file there is no backup of the mythconverg tables, and I don't think Asterisk's tables are in there either.

Might be a good idea to take a backup of the entire database if your going to wipe the system. ;)

After I installed Kubuntu I did an upgrade, and I'm pretty sure I remember samba being part of the updated packages.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Post by: selstam on May 17, 2007, 08:38:25 am: I got the same error as you Eirik. It seems my sources.list was garbled up and right now I'm trying to install the packages manually. Right now pluto-decrouter is being installed, but I had to do it manually after cleaning up the sources.list.
Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: asgard on May 17, 2007, 09:23:42 am: The problem goes like this:

Cache cd contains samba 3.0.24-2ubuntu1 which depends on samba-common 3.0.24-2ubuntu1 . Since kubuntu updated the samba-common package to 3.0.24-2ubuntu1.1 , the package samba 3.0.24-2ubuntu1 from the cache cd won't install because is not the same version with samba-common.

When using the cache cd on install time, the system will try to install all the packages offline mode.

The quickest solution to get linuxmce 1.1 beta installed is to skip the use of the cache cd or to have latest samba package installed before starting the installation.

Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: selstam on May 17, 2007, 10:57:56 am: Do not use an XFS file system on your root partition. The MCE installer changes the fstab and adds a bunch of unsupported switches which after reboot will make your XFS system read-only and it's a pain getting it to work again ...

I did a quick 'ifdown/ifup' on both interfaces and the installer kept on going.. still running as I type this.

Post by: Eirik on May 17, 2007, 10:04:41 pm: After my first reboot, I've got a black screen on F7, with the last message on F8 says "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK]"

The only thing taking up cpu time is a Start_NewMD_interactor.sh script.

Attaching to the script with strace shows it's trying to bind to a port in use, ps shows two instances of this process running:

Any thoughts?

After a bit more fiddling, if i edit /etc/X11/xorg.pluto.conf and comment out

Load "int10"

The display then loads correctly :-)

Fluffy, could you tell me how you edited /etc/X11/xorg.pluto.conf? I am a bit of a linux newbie (though not a comptuer newb) so any help you might give would be appreciated.

I Get the same issue as Eirik above, my graphics card is a Nvidia 6200

Snippet from /var/log/pluto/19_LaunchOrbiter.sh.log

01 05/17/07 23:29:05.840 Thread -- GL.InitVideoMode FAILED Width: 640 Height: 480 Full Screen: 0 Composite: 1 <0xb6407b90>

Any thoughts?

After a bit more fiddling, if i edit /etc/X11/xorg.pluto.conf and comment out

Load "int10"

The display then loads correctly :-)

i have the same problem however my 01 is not the same

I have the same problem as Erik, fluffy and jester. My vid card is a nvida 6500.

Fluffy, could you tell me how you edited /etc/X11/xorg.pluto.conf? I am a bit of a linux newbie (though not a comptuer newb) so any help you might give would be appreciated.

Thanks!

you can modify it by doing:
cd /etc/X11 (it is a capital X)
sudo pico xorg.conf.pluto (this will open the file in pico as root)
put a # infront of what you want to comment out
the press control + o to save
then press control + x to exit
Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: Eirik on May 19, 2007, 09:09:28 am: Commenting out the int10 line helped, but now I have a new issue again. :/ It looks like X loads, I can see the Nvidia logo even, I get a mouse pointer, but then X dies right after. I thought it might have been my resolution, but even playing with those settings I can't find anything that will just get X to stay up. I can go into the admin panel, select 720p, test the resolution however, and it displays just fine. Even has a picture showing the 720p graph.

Post by: jester on May 19, 2007, 10:33:02 am: I've got that same issue. My monitor displays a 'signal out of range' message, but when testing the resolution from the admin panel it also displays nicely.
Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: Eirik on May 19, 2007, 11:19:59 am: Found a neat trick to kinda get LinuxMCE working. If you go into the admin panel to select the resolution, you may have to play with it a bit, but I got 1024x768 @ 100hz. The key was to click the 'force resolution', then apply the settings. If you got it right, the orbiter will re-load and you'll see the desktop.

Once you find a setting that X is stable at, go into the Orbiter setting via admin panel again, and do a full regen if the desktop doesn't match the resolution.

If you reboot, or reload, or anything you'll have to do the 'force resolution' trick over again. (note: everytime you do this, there's an extra:

Load "Load"

line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.pluto)

I've got as far as the desktop, gone though the setup. Had to force again, got to the desktop clicked on MythTV, got a message about it adding me to the 'mythtv' group, forced me to reload again... and it didn't add me to the mythtv group. :(

Post by: elsenator on May 20, 2007, 10:50:27 am: Thanks man, but i actually got it to work using a different method. All i did was adding the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to my xorg.conf and run LinuxMCE from within KDE. Everything seems to load just fine, but it's extreeeemely laggy. I'm thinking that maybe i haven't gotten UDMA enabled on the harddrive.

Anyways, it seems that my problem was related to a resolution not working somehow.

I tried commenting out [Load "int10"] from [/etc/X11/xorg.pluto.conf] but it still does the same thing after rebooting.

I'm still new to Linux so could somebody please tell me exactly how to go about trying this suggestion?

I'm guessing that I need to rename the file [/etc/init.d]......do I need to rename it to [/etc/kdm]? If so how would I go about doing that?

Post by: dafrog on May 23, 2007, 12:42:09 am: Same Problem...

- tried commenting out int10 line -> no difference
- tried to set resolutution 20 times -> i only get the nvidia logo for a second and then a mouse cursor on a black screen
- renamed the kde.saved to kde -> after rebooting X Server is starting kde (F9)... the "black screen"-MediaCenter is available under F7

i am using a nvidia geforce 4 mx440 with the "nvidia" driver

any ideas?
Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: rwilson131 on May 23, 2007, 02:42:32 am: nvidia geforce 4 mx440 is not supported in the last NVidia driver release which is installed with LinuxMCE. You need to have the legacy driver install which is 1.0-9631 but LinuxMCE is try to install 1.0-9755. Look at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html)
This was mentioned on another thread. I do not know the correct solution at this time. I had a more recent video card and just switched, so I can not give you any more pointers.

It would be nice if there was some detection so that it did not automatically try and install the most recent nvidia drivers when you select that option.

Thanks

Title: Re: Installing LinuxMCE 1.1
Post by: dafrog on May 23, 2007, 02:29:23 pm: Now I am confused. I used the "nvidia-glx" driver package from the ubuntu source which includes the gf4 drivers. Does the mce reject this driver during the installation? When I change the resolution via web-admin i can see the nvidia logo for a second, doesn´t that mean that the system is using the correct driver?

In the "Known Issue" wiki the is also a information I don´t understand:
Quote
During installation of LinuxMCE, the installer will ask if you want to switch to the nVidia proprietary driver, which does work.
I was never asked if i want to change the driver.
