Hi!

I don't know, but probably there's something wrong with my sources.list. Would I get an error if "apt-get update" failed? Could someone post his sources.list so I can check if there's anything missing? Would be nice!

When I just try "apt-get install g++", I get:

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?


Perhaps LMCE can't update the packages? Is there some kind of log file I could check?

Ok, sorry. I just read this:
"gcc is first built without the C++ compiler"

What I need is "gcc-c++", but I can't install any packages. The Terminal always tells me that the package cannot be found, doesn't matter which package I choose. Perhaps something went wrong during installation. That's why I asked for a different way to get packages I need.

Hey!

The Terminal tells me that I already have the latest version of "gcc" (that's what you meant I guess).

I still get that error:

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

I don't know. Do I need something else?

Hi!

I can't tell you what your problem is but I would say try the 2CD installer! I also had problems with the DVD and I read that there are still some bugs on it. I was new to Linux as well and it was really no problem.

hey!

@leonja: I also tried version 0.8.2 with the latest lirc_mceusb2 drivers. Doesn't work.
@darrenmason: "apt-get install linux-headers [version]" says that I already have the newest version.

What I get now is this:

Code Select Expand

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

I read that I need the GCC (build essential) package to compile. But I can't install that package using the terminal as I am told that it cannot be found. I think that is because of the lmce sources.list. Could I download some kind of .deb-file for this and run it after downloading?

Thanks! 

leonja, thanks a lot!

My problem is that I get this error message

Code Select Expand

configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver
when typing this

Code Select Expand

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/conf.d --with-x --with-driver=mceusb2

I read that it has something to do with the kernel headers. As described here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote#Installation_guides uname -a gives me back 2.6.20-16-generic. So I tried to update but it says that it is already the latest version. Any ideas?

Again, thanks a lot for your help!

Sorry, but I'm new to LinuxMCE and to Linux as well and I have to work with it for a while to get into it. I will fix it somehow. I made some steps forward but I still have the problem with installing packages as I posted here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=3319.0
If you could help me with that would be great.

Greets

Any ideas?
I can't install any packages at all. I always get a "package not found" error when trying to install one. Is this some kind of protection for LinuxMCE? And does LinuxMCE remove the standard Kubuntu Package Managers like Adept? I can't find them.
Are you guys able to install packages? 

As far as I know this will be supported in the upcoming version.

@blairkutz: Thanks for your HOW TO!

I just downloaded lirc-0.8.3pre1.tar.bz2 from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/software/snapshots/. Shall I first run "./setup.sh" as described here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote#Installation_guides ?

I think I know how to do the "Other stuff" you described. I just don't know how to start.
Could anyone help?

Hi!
I tried to install ntfs-config using the Terminal to be able to get access to my external HD (USB). I always get the error message that it cannot be found although it is part of the universe repository.
Could I edit my sources.list and add some sources I definitly know ntfs-config is in or isn't it recommended to do so because linuxmce could have problems with that?
Thanks!

Zaerc, thanks for your help!
This was what I was looking for. I changed /etc/group -> public:x:1002:... and now I'm able to copy and paste my media to all the "public folders".

Yes, it was a permission problem. Thank you!

What also worked for me was open up Konqueror with administrative rights (kdesu konqueror). I can copy and paste the files. It works. But I always have strange error messages in the Terminal when opening up Konqueror as I described.

An example:

In the Terminal:
user: ~$ kdesu konqueror
Then Konqueror opens up the way I want but in the Terminal I get this:
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 180
   Major opcode: 150
   Minor opcode: 3
   Resource id: 0x0

Hi!

I tried to copy some files/folders from an USB-device (FAT) to /home/public/data/audio but didn't have access.
Using the Terminal (sudo cp -r ...) is no problem, but I can't copy & paste the stuff.

So I'm sitting at my Core (hybrid) trying to get my media onto it (not over the network).
