Installation issues / Problem with USB-UIRT learning unknown codes...

« on: November 05, 2007, 09:45:44 pm »

In trying to install my Dish Network PVR501 and get the USB-UIRT to work with it, I have come across a bit of a problem.  LinuxMCE says that it has no support for the PVR501 so I have to create a new codeset. When trying to learn new codes, LinuxMCE indicates that the code has been learned but the actual code is not written into the text window.  Has anyone had this problem before and is there a work around?  Or, is there another utility that can be used to learn the codes and allows for cut and paste the data?

Yes, I did find out on my own...the file in the zip is a .pcf file, not an .xml.  Maybe you should check more closely before giving superfluous information.

The downloaded file does not appear to be a .xml file.

Does anyone know the i/r codes for a DishPVR 501 satellite receiver.  The web admin learning mode appears to be slightly broken and won't learn the number or channel up/down keys.

So, no one knows how to set up a USB-UIRT?  Hard to believe!

So is there a utility other than irw to test the uirt?

I already told MD htat I have the USB-UIRT.  Is the /etc/iircd.conf file on the MD or the Core?  Do I run irw on the MD?

BTW, thanks for the response.

I have successfully installed a core-only system and gotten the network boot MD up and running.  However, I have been unsuccessful in getting the USB-UIRT to work.  In web admin I have set the MD to use a USB-UIRT.  I have added my Hitachi Ultravision TV.  At the point of testing all the pronto codes, the USB-UIRT doesn't respond at all.  No IR blast, verified with IR camera.  Pointing a remote control at the USB-UIRT and pressing a button causes the USB-UIRT led to flash, but nothing when pressing the Learn New Code in web admin.  Am I missing a step?

Installation issues / Media director installation failed...

About 5 minutes into the installation the md gets into an endless loop of:

Begin:  Retrying nfs mount
..
..
..
..
rpc failed: 2

And this is repeated endlessly.

Any ideas?

Users / How do I start Kubuntu when only the launch manager is visible?

« on: October 08, 2007, 11:04:40 pm »

Launch manager fails to start media station due to 'Failed to regenerate skin for Orbiter', probably something wrong in my ati configuration.  But, how do I start Kubuntu when only the launch manager is visible?
