not old news, but kinda strange, as google says: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.linuxmce.org

Very odd. I still get the message though.. Do you?

They do mention that they sometimes get false positives...

I expect this may be old news, however I didn't see anything about it in the forums. If I search for linuxmce on google:
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=linuxmce

The top link to linuxmce.com has a google warning: This site may be compromised.

FYI for any admin'ers out there...

Some pretty cool Open Source hardware/software automation projects coming through Kickstarter that may be of interest to some on these forums:

HarvestGeek (Wireless monitoring for Ph, temp, Light Intensity, soil moisture, CO2, EC). Makes me very sad I don't have a garden.. I might have to move now!

Oh and I realise I am a bit late on the scene, but Ninja Blocks looks pretty cool too! Did anyone get one of these in the first/second rounds?

BR,

I am talking with the technical lead on this project. Hopefully I will be able to get protocol information.

Nice - I knew If anyone would be all over it already, it'd be Thom 

Another thing that caught my eye was the "Ubi". An always on "voice-activated computer that plugs into a wall outlet".

I am a bit more skeptical of this one. My (limited) personal experience with voice recognition has been a bit crappy, but I keep telling myself that a Star Trek 'computer' experience isn't too far away.

I have used zwave - count me in for 50 Euro.

your running the most recent update, qml included?

-golg0j4

Pretty sure I was - I installed the snapshot and everything else for the first time on the 24th (via wiki instuctions), same day I posted... Happy to uninstall and retest if you want me too? 

I'd appreciate people checking if it is enough to downgrade pluto-dcecommon on the core, or if a downgrade is needed on the MD, or if a downgrade is needed on both.

Thx.

posde - confirming I downgraded the core only... MD now looks to be working. thanks

interesting, so you just changed the device id to an existing one and it worked?

its supposed to show a popup of the existing qOrbiters.
-golgoj4

Exactly like that. I didn't get a pop-up that i could see. I could see the -1 but not edit it.. and it would only give me a few sec before crashing. xml edit worked immediately though.

Umm - nevermind! I noticed that the device id flashes up as -1, though you don't get a chance to change it...

So I manually edited the config.xml on the SD card and it works! Yay! Time to play - thanks again

Hey golgoj4,

Thought i'd try out the nightly. Followed the wiki (orb, user, room, size, svn, skins, config generation etc) however after loading briefly - the app just quits (goes back to the homescreen). Using a galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.4). Logcat shows this if it is helpful:

Let me know if there is anything else you need/want to help.

Cheers,
WR.

apt-get install linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-generic

will upgrade your cores kernel, and should help the MDs as well. If all else fails, update the softlink in /tftpboot/<device-id-of-MD>/vmlinuz and initrd.img

Thanks Posde - apt-get install linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-generic and a reboot worked!

Hi All,

Thought I would take a stab at 1004 using the awesome new DVD install.

I am using a Shuttle XS35 V2 for one of the MDs. The Netboot won't work OOTB. Adapting this 0810 guide; http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ShuttleXS35GT allows the MD to boot, however it gets stuck when trying to run depmod:

WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.32-40-generic: No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.32-40-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory

I think this is because the core is compiling with:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-40-generic/

However both the MDs I have are using:
/usr/pluto/diskless/lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic/

I have done an apt-get update/upgrade, and I have used this guide with 0810 before.

Any idea if this mismatch is an issue? Any idea how to resolve it?

Cheers,
WR.

Not sure what this may mean for LMCE...?

As Jonathan Riddell notes at the end "...I hope and expect Kubuntu can continue..." - so maybe the impact won't be huge long term?
