Good article about speaker wire.
Conclusion: allthough not ideal, cable runs that are 25m for 4 ohm speaker requires  an AWG of 10.

Users / [dianemo] how do i connect speakers in centr setup with distance up to 25m

« on: August 03, 2012, 08:35:03 am »

Hi,
How do i connect speakers?
In my setup core and mm's are centralised. Distance from most distand speaker to the closet is 25 meters.
I have read speaker cable runs that exeed 15 m degrades sound quality.
What are my options?

More or less related,
Im keen on having a system that is low on energie usage.
With THE system constantly looking for new media files, disks are constantly spinning.
Is this assumption correct?
If so, is it possible to have the disks only spinning when reading media files or when doing a manual sync of media files.

Hi All,

finally, my squeezebox is back in linuxmce.
It wasn't working , pluto-slim-server-streamer couldn't install because it depends on squeezeboxserver which name has changed to logitechmediaserver.

to solve the problem:
sudo apt-get install logitechmediaserver
in a browser go to: http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/lucid/beta2/binary-i386/pluto-slim-server-streamer_2.0.0.45.12012525330_i386.deb
copy the file to your home directory in the core
in a terminal type:
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=squeezeboxserver pluto-slim-server-streamer_2.0.0.45.12012525330_i386.deb

Hopefully this helps others to.

Yes, but apt suggests to install a replacement package, logitechmediaserver. Even installing this package brings no you.

Not sure but I was hoping to control my din mounted dimmers in the closet, by immitating the manual operation of the 24vac buttons. One push turns on lights @100%, push and hold x seconds reduces light intensity with y ... something.

Installation issues / 1004.....squeezebox not working

« on: January 21, 2012, 07:36:54 am »

Hi All,

Recently I added a squeezebox to the system. It was automatically detected and the procces went as usual. When I used the orbiter to play some music notting happened.
Then in web admin I went to >advanced>configuration>squeezebox server. I noticed the page was empty. Doing a manual install of the package learned that squeezebox server has a replacement, logitechmediaserver. I installed this package. After this the web admin page was present. I removed the squeezebox and added it again. This didn't work, still could not play audio.
Next attemp I deleted the pluto slim server plugin, the slim server streamer and the SB to have it re-detected again....no improvement.
So far my skills go, hoping some one ells does better. BTW I am using a recent 10.04 of two weeks old.

EDIT1: added some of DCERouter.log
EDIT2: playing with the SB remote does work.

Best Regards
Mathieu

Hi all,

I am ready to use lmce to automate some lights.
All of my lights are now wired to a central point in THE closet and are operated by relays and momentary switches.
So a really cheap sollution would be to use a weederboard with digital inputs to drive the existing relays.
There is allready some info in THE wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GSD_to_drive_a_Weeder_I/O_WTDIO-M.
Making a fulltime functioning GSD device looks like a nice little project.

However, can you Guys think of reasons not to use it and go for an other solution like KNX?
I am asking because there is so little mentioning of weederboards on THE forums.

Best regards
Mathieu

Hi twodog,
Have been thinking of such thing to.
THE simplest way imho to make a releable backup of THE system drive is to make an image of it.
You could use clonezilla for that purpuse. There is a clonezilla live cd and also a clonezilla server.
Maybe installing clonezilla on a partition in the lmce core and put it on top of grub menu before lmce. That way when you reboot, the core machine will automaticaly start clonezilla and some backup script you added to the proces of booting. How this is done in practice  i am not sure. .....

Hi,
I am also interested in THE functionality of reading the soil moisture and irrigation only when needed.
Hobbyboards.com deliver Moisture Meter and Watermark Soil Moisture Sensor.
If Hari can find some time  to do THE coding I am happy to provider him with the needed hardware.

To do it next time correctly, where can the sqlcvs batchnumber be found? The sqlcvs update was succesfull and THE diff went ok also, but in THE resulting black screen was no number to be found.
