Yeah I have been spamming the forum about using the UI1 instead of the UI2 to fix the issue as soon as I figured that out.

My most recent install got a flickering "updating" screen after I did the LMCE install and rebooted. 

Now I am trying KnoppMyth to see if another *nix flavor works or it is just my hardware giving me headaches.

Quite a few people here have reported seeing a grey screen or a screen with lines on it that is unusable.

This is the LMCE frontend we are getting on some installs. 

My workaround when I got this was to go into the web based admin and change the UI and/or the drivers.  I am not sure which as I had to dick with them both to get a display.

AFTER, I fixed this I was presented with the setup wizard.

I am reinstalling it for the 3rd time now with different hardware to see if some of my previous choices where poor.

I am curious to see peoples level of sucsess. 

I installed LinuxMCE with high hopes and the more I screw with it, the more I get let down.

MythTV throws errors

The GUI was a horiffic pain to just get to the point were I could see something.

I don't need home automation so I have ugly blank spots in my UI1 screen.

I am reinstalling but I have been getting "failed to DL index files" then the installer stops.

It's proving to be a real headache that may not be more then a Alpha release.

I hope the next time I install it tonight it goes better.

I ended up buying a tuner card. 

Reinstalling everything now as the first install was a mess.

You hope what?  You hope somebody tries to install an entire OS to a PS3?

You didnt DL both items needed liek the instructions stated.

DL the iso.

Dl the installer file from the main page.  I think it ends with .deb?

Run it on the Ubuntu then you will get teh "install LinuxMCE" icon.

go to admin>wizard>devices>media directors

then find the UI drop down and change it to UI1.

Go to the web based admin http://YourLinuxMCEIP

go to admin>wizard>devices>media directors

then find the UI drop down and change it to UI1.

It took me a good 10 minutes for it to rebuild the images then I was ok.

If you change the UI I have noticed it takes some time to regenerrate the graphics.  be patient.

I rebooted once before thinking it was locked up.

I see this at teh top when I go to any MythTV settings.

I do NOT have a tuner card installed yet.  Is this related?

Sounds to me like you are trying to use a UI that is not compatable.

go to admin>wizard>devices>media directors

then find the UI drop down and change it to UI1. 

It took me a good 10 minutes for it to rebuild the images then I was ok.

Not to be a negative Nellie but wasnt this supposed to be terribly easy.  I feel like I am fighting this install every step of the way.  WinMCE is a matter of installing the OS and pressing the appilcation to start it.  Then you are done.

This is a matter of installing the OS, then running the installer, watching a lot of things fail or not work, booting to a black screen, finding the admin url and  wading through the thousands fo menus to find "change resolution", tweaking to find right resolution for LCD monitor.....

and so on.

This looks fantastic and I want it to work due to the massive list of features, but it hardly seems "easy".
