Installation issues / Re: iMON PAD + LCD on Thermaltake DH101
« on: April 15, 2008, 05:23:52 pm »
As far as the patch goesi have the patch, but what i dont understand is why to get the cvs which will not be used

tar xvjf lirc-0.8.3pre1.tar.bz2

when i followed the steps, first we downloaded the cvs:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install dialog
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install cvs
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc login
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc

Then we move into the lirc dir and update the cvs:

Code: [Select]
cd lirc
cvs update

Then we are supposed to patch what was downloaded but instead we un-tar the ready 0.8.3pre1, which is not part of the cvs (btw, i have that downloaded), but why did we download the cvs from the beginning?

Code: [Select]
tar xvjf lirc-0.8.3pre1.tar.bz2

so now we have a dir inside lirc that is named: [lirc-0.8.3pre1] plus when i tried to apply the patch on the lirc dir it gave back an error, so i did the following:

Code: [Select]
cd lirc-0.8.3pre1
patch -p1 < ../lirc-0.8.3pre1-imon-pad2keys.patch
./autogen.sh
./setup.sh

and that worked, then i did:

Code: [Select]
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe lirc_dev
sudo modprobe lirc_imon

and before all of that , added the device template in the LMCE, and let it install LIRC first and then on and did the above. after some playing around, i got stuck at this error:

Code: [Select]
01 04/14/08 20:47:07.644 No SerialPort selected and no default entry found. Exiting. <0x2abe72c15910>

I then went into the LMCE admin webpage and went into the [default] device settings and change this communicates through to USB and reloaded the router. still i kept getting this error.

When i added the template at the very beginning, LMCE added 3 items: iMON PAD, default, and LIRC Receiver.

The iMON PAD is the one i created and added to it [Configuration] [lircd.conf] [copy of the actual lircd.conf content]
The default i did not change anything in it, except later on the communicates through to USB.
The LIRC Receiver, it has [Controlled via: default] and thats it.

I beleive my problem lies within the USB and default, but i really dont know what or where to change settings anymore :)

As for the receiver, whether or not it is connected, i beleive it is, simply because when the machine first boots into LMCE, the remote arrow wheel works like a mouse until i hit the [mouse/keyboard] button on it, and then it dies. so i beleive that the receiver is connected alreight and is picking up signal. It's the [default] that is having trouble hooking up to the USB port.

And as for the remote, it is exactly the same like the one in the wiki, except mine is all black, but the buttons are all the same.

Hi All,

I got this case (Thermaltake DH101) and with it came the iMON PAD and LCD. I have LMCE 710b4 installed and everything, but i can't seem to get the remote to work.

Here are all the links that I have tried, and none of them worked:

itspac: I have not really got to testing the sound, see im stuck with activating the remote that came with my case, and until now i had no luck with it, but will let you know as soon as i can figure out the remote.

gunsmoke: well i really don't think i will be able to test PXE, since that will require that i build another box, and honestly i can't put any of my other boxes down right now, not before i can get this one to run in full functions.

Hi,

I have the same mobo and had some trouble running the system on it. Check this thread out: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=4922.0 maybe it could help you out

actually here are my notes that i put together when installing the system:
LinuxMCE Setup
0.   Leave BIOS as is (no need to change hard drive settings)
1.   Put DVD ROM in SATA port 0
2.   Put Hard Drive in SATA port 1
3.   Press F6 in installation menu and add:
a.   "acpi=off" at the beginning
b.   replace "splash" at the end of the line with "nosplash"

Builtin username and password are:  linuxmce

Restore Display Card
To fix display if interface does not work and goes into cmd prompt (need to replace the 'xorg.conf' with 'xorg.conf.pluto.avwizardr')
-   cd /etc/X11
-   sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.1
-   sudo mv xorg.conf.pluto.avwizardr xorg.conf

Set Network IP from Shell
-   cd /etc/network
-   sudo nano interfaces

Install the adept-manager
-   sudo apt-get install adept-manager
=> Important: in the Adept Manager: go to Adept > Manage Repositories > Updates and check the Unsupported updates

Video Driver:
Try Envy from Adept http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

-   http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
-   http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers

sudo su –
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
depmod –a
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   Change Driver = “vesa” to “fglrx”
sudo reboot

To be fair ...  runs great under win xp, and this is my first run on linux based system, having said that, as far as the graphic interface i could only get it to work UI1, UI2 and 3 won't kick. As for PXE booting, i really have no clue what that is :)

Installation issues / Re: Remote Desktop .. how can i?
« on: April 11, 2008, 09:05:41 pm »
i finally found the firewall :) sorry, still very new to lmce

so, i disabled the firewall completly until i understand more what is going on. I got now the web interface on my laptop, and also putty works now for telnet. still vnc can not connect. i did start vncserver on the lmce box ?!?

Installation issues / Remote Desktop .. how can i?
« on: April 11, 2008, 04:35:38 pm »
Got my installation runnig, now tring to get all my devices setup, but im stuck at one point, which actullay is divided into two parts:
1. i notice that my system has 2 IPs (internal & external), i really dont understand why, and i still haven't researched the subject, but for example when the system is installed i get internal ip of 192.168.80.xx and external ip 192.168.80.xx although my entire network is on 192.168.1.xx where my router is on 192.168.1.1. so after i install i change the external ip to 192.168.1.15 and accordingly the subnet mask, the gateway, and dns. [this is part one but not the actual problem that i have]
2. actually all of this i guess is to enable myself to remote desktop from my laptop (win xp) using vnc instead of sitting infront of the tv. i instaled vncserver but could't connect to. i couldn't even get the orbiter to open from my laptop. i also tried putty, but no luck. (always thought that one can connect with putty - telnet - with no extra settings on the linux box)

so my question is:
- are there any firewalls on the LMCE that i should open ports on?
- which ip do i use to connect? i tried both but none of them even ping

13
well :) learning does not come easy, and the more one looks for answers, i guess you end up collecting alot of useful info along the way

14
wooooow ... it turned to be as simple as i really dont know what:

Well no need to change anything in BIOS, it will work fine with hard drives set as IDE. Also no need to add an IDE DVD, the SATA one works fine. The entire problem was in the wiring of the SATA cables, I had them in wrong order. The mobo has 5 SATA ports, and i thought i had them in the right order, but going back to the mobo's manual, i found out i wasn't. So:
- DVD goes into SATAII port 0 (to enable booting from it, if put in port 1 the system will not see it if hard drive has already a system installed on it)
- Hard drive goes into SATAII port 1
- Press F6 in installation screen and add the following:
  • "acpi=off" at the beginning
  • replace "splash" at the end of the line with "nosplash"

and that's it :) nothing more ...:) :) :)

15
right now im at selecting which drive to setup on and i only have one drive.. its being formated and its shown as /dev/sda .. so i guess its connected alright

edit 1:
im actually trying the i386 DVD instead of the AMD one to see if this works better ... but by now i beleive that my problem lies within the graphics adaptor and nothing else

edit 2:
setup finished and now when it rebooted i got grub 18 error, so i switched the sttings of hard drive to sata, now i can get past grub. I get the kubuntu splash screen and it hangs there.

edit 3:
after a while i get the BusyBox promot with initramfs
