is that an option during install or setup?  ive never gotten far enough to see the option

is there a way to set up a the server side to run text mode?  i have absolutly no need to run media off my server and am interested in running mce out of a virtual box and havent been able to it to boot up properly inside vmware. 

ive got 4 drives setup in software raid on a fedora server and read/write times are not noticeably slower.   ive never had any issues streaming dvds over the network or writing over the network (100mbs)  i ussually try and find small harddrives to store the os on..  since they need so little room to acctually hold the os i use the big drives for media storage.  a 20gb drive is more than enough to hold and run the os..  that way i dont have any fear of loosing media if the os bugs up for some reason..  plus you can always backup your config files to your raid for reinstalls..  esspecially with the way linuxmce installs and wipes a whole disk clean.  id spring for a couple of small ide drives to run the os off of then set up the rest of the drives in whatever kind of array youd like to store media only

sorry obviously typing on an iPhone isn't the easiest thing

I'm  having the reload problems too. I was in the kde prperformance montior thenother day and inhad about ten apache servers open. Might be a problem. I'm doing a reinstall and stattjng from scratch at sole ppint hopeing itll fix some different problems I've been having.

your. Post inspired me to give it a try too. It works however it takes a good bit of time for it to load my first video and when I went into the second video got hung up in a refresh loop and never played. Try to give it a minute and see if it'll load

best thing to do is go into the kde desktop and install wine (sudo apt-get install wine) which will let you run windows programs on linux. then d/l a dvd ripping program (dvdshrink is good and free but sometimes does have problems ripping some encryption..  dvdfab is one of the best ones and has no trouble and has many features, but dos cost money for a full version) and use that to rip the dvds to an iso file, then simply rename the .iso file to a .dvd file and youre good to go...  you will need to go into the pluto admin page and manual add the attributes though

is the m2n-e-sli..  the audio is accually through the ubs controller or something like that... from what ive read on the board the onboard sound can have troubles..  ive even tried disableing the usb audio in the bios and trying it but got no sound at all.  no other cards are connected to the computer (only video, only usb is a uirt)

yeah it doesnt make a whole lot of since why its not working... i broke down and ordered a sound card this morning but if i can get this working itd be nice to have the sound card for something else maybe....  heres the link to that script output...  thanks for the help

it should work... thats what so frustrating about it...  its not in alsamixer...  must be a bad part of the motherboard or something..  thats my only guess

bump....  if noone can has any ideas on solving this does anyone recomend a good sound card with optical or coaxil out for under say 50$??

ok ive looked everywhere i can think

i cannot get the spdif to work.  ive gone through alsamixer and there is no spdif setting to unmute (or ied958)  the options are CD, Mic and then speakers.  when i run aplay -L this i get normal speaker outputs but this is the digital outputs

    PnP Audio Device        , USB Audio
    7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
iec958:CARD=default,DEV=0
    PnP Audio Device        , USB Audio
    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

iec958 - null  how can i fix this?? ive tried using the onboard spdif and even tried hooking up a spdif card to the jumpers with no luck...  ive googled the problem many times and even people with the mn board say theirs works fine.  if i run avwizard and select spdif i get sound through the analog jack.... im almost ready to give up and output each channel to my reciever through minijacks and rca cables (which i would rather not do)   anyone please...

i was able to walk through it blond and get it working...  for some reason the video shuts off in between the system boot and the os boot    no loading screens

it goes blank right after i press "install" i dont know how far it gets into it but there is a prompt somewhere you have to hit i know..  ill try again in a bit and see if i can get it working blind

im able tosetup and run the 32bit linuxmce fine but when i try to load the 64 bit dvd i get the install screen, i choose install and then i get no video signal.. not even a black screen, im using vga but also tried through dvi with the same results.  computer is an amd 4200 64bit x2.   any ideas??
