well...the usb to ethernet that i have just doesn't work with LMCE. I checked compatible but the gembird nic-U1 is not available anymore. so I have a wireless adapter from asus i think works with LMCE (wl-167g), and i'd like to use it as my external nic. the probles is I've searched a lot in the forum and didin't find nothing that shows how to choose the network, and wireless password from within webadmin.
do you know any such post please rederect me, or if you can just tell me where to go.
thanks

Hi phenigma,
I think I might have identified the problem. My core has only one NIC,so I'm using a USB adapter for second card, that I think is badly configured. I'm no expert but, I had the onboard nic conected to adsl router and the usb nic as internal nic, and three devices conected to the switch (the rpi i was Trying to boot into LMCE, a VU Zero receiver, and a hummingboard running openelec).Both the humming board and the VU zero got internet through the Core. So I assumed everything was ok with the usb card. I even reinstalled the core...

Like this, the core assumes IP 192.168.1.172 from my adsl router.
if I change the cable, connect the adsl router to the usb nic, I still get internet, but going to webadmin network config, it shows an ip that is not in my adsl router range (169.128.8.69), and the core identifies other devices that run in the adsl router network (PC, cable box, etc.)

so I'M thinking the USb nic doesn't show the correct IP adress and when the pi boots second time is doesn't find the core.
I'd Like to knoe 2 thingd if you can help. First is if to boot pi as MD do I have to have Internet on the core, or can I just update the core and then use the on board nic as eth1, and boot the MD.?

and if I chage the onboard nic to eth1 and the usb to eth0, if it is badly configured but still has internet is that a problem?

don´t mind of other devices because this core is only for testing purposes, so I can test before I use it in me home setup.
I'd like to know if you think this might really be the problem, and about the changes to do, or if there is another way.
Thanks

Hi phenigma,
do you think it can be the ethernet switch. i'm using an HP procurve 2500PWR, I think it acquires an IP.

well what I did was disconnect every other equipment from the switch, and leave only the pi, and did a new card, and booted. it ends like this:
[ ok ] Setting Coredump Location: /usr/pluto/bin/corefile.sh.

[ 1055.567997] init: smbd main process (14223) killed by TERM signal

I rebooted the pi a few times and also reloaded the router.

The very first time I tried the core acquired the pi and prompted a choice for MD or qMD or squeezebox, but now it doesn't even if I try everything from scratch (new card and delete all devices in core)

thanks
cheers

Hi phenigma,
I changed the rpi to be inside internal network, but still could not install.
first try, it booted and announced to mce, I chose template as MD, and it created template. the router was reloaded, and the pi booted again but didn´t finish install. I repeted the proccess a lot of times but no success. deleted the template as md, to start fresh, but it never showed up again in router as md to choose. showed twice as a windows share, that i ignored.
I have now 14.04, and updated just before the last try, still no joy.
it stops responding and last lines:

and stops there...

Hi Phenigma,
with jessie when I boot the card with rpi2 it stops with this error:

ERR: interactor has not yet created ' /etc/Disked_DeviceID' .
# FIRSTBOOT NOT COMPLETE, CANNOT CONTINUE LOADING LINUXMCE.cat: /etc/pluto/Disked_DevData: No such file or directory

with the other images it boots to a login but I don't know the password.

I have intalled 12.04 Hybrid, DHCP
I am new to Linux and MCE so thanks in advance for your help.

hi,
i've just finished my house with EIB/KNX for and I´m thinking of using LinuxMCE too. But I was thinking of using Cytech comfort for alarm system and also for some KNX operation (because I have only 1 BUS line and almost maximum of participants), i've been searching the forum but didn't find much info about usin comfort with LinuxMce.
So I ask? Can I use the comfort alarm operating some KNX needs and still use LinuxMCE?
Another Problem is my door bell? wiche equipment should I use in order to have video and audio wich I can integrate with LinuxMce?

thanks
Nelson

Hi People,

I've been trying to find out what are the supported alarm panels but couldn´t find it. Could someone point me where to find it?

Another question is what should be the best configuration for the alarm attending to the wiring I have:
- KNX based wiring for lights, shutters, heating sensors, presence sensors;
- separate wiring system for alarm, though it can be integrated if I want because all wiring goes to same place in basement;
- for KNX integration I´ll be using IP gateway from BERKER

What I'd like to know this:
- the best way to integrate alarm with linuxmce
- if it is possible to use KNX sensors to complement the intrusion alarm, and heating scenarios,

thanks
nelson
