The drivers are officially included in the Linux Kernel since 2.6.29.

Hi all,

The interesting page on the Wiki is: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Upgrading_the_Kernel

New NVidia driver, Audio over HDMI, and my FloppyDTV DVBS-S2 are working well after upgrding kernel plus drivers.

However LinuxMCE frontend don't start anymore automatically. How can I start it manually?

Thanks,
Nick

Ok,

Having crawling the installation script and packages provided by LinuxMCE repository, it looks that lirc should be customize/upgrade after the the installation. Same thing about upgrading the kernel as some modules are already compile/prepared for the 2.6.27-11 version from Kubuntu 810.

I will give a try and let you know. it will probably open a place for new hardware compatibility list, at least for mine!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply, but the FAQ, unless I didn't read the good one, do not answer my questions.
I know that 810 still in an alpha release that's why I posted under the "Developers" forum in order to understand how exactly LinuxMCE is interacting with the core OS (i.e. Kubuntu).

However, as much of my Hardware is not even compatible officially compatible with a normal installation of Kubuntu 8.10, I will still have to customize my LinuxMCE installation.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi all,

Having a DigitalEverywher DVB-S2 card I need to compile my own patched kernel to use it.

What is the best way/order to follow during LinuxMCE install:
Kubuntu 810 install > Custom kernel > LinuxMCE 810 or Kubuntu 810 install > LinuxMCE 810 > Custom Kernel ?

Same question with latest drivers version I need too: Alsa, NVidia, etc. After or before running installation scripts?

Do the linuxMCE install scripts interact with the core OS ?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Indulis,

Actually all my box is an entire testing system. As I have some new components (especially my motherboard), I can't use 7.10.
However I have two partition: one for testing LinuxMCE 8.10 and other one with Window$ for Media-portal.

Until now i was fighting with my sounds drivers in order to get sound over my HDMI output, but it's now working.
I'm actually reinstalling the alpha LinuxMCE version and will work on my Remote control.

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Colinjones,

Don't worry, I won't complain if it won't work on the first shot  I know that alpha version is a very early stage of the development, and I know I will see a lot of bugs/non-working stuff, especially with my recent hardware components.
Actually from my situation two solution: be patient and help for releasing the LinuxMCE 810 stable or use the easy way (Window$ system): I love the challenges!

Regards,
Nick

Oki Doki!

Hi There,

I just finished to build my brand new HTPC equipment (I will create a page soon about it) and I would like to try/test LinuxMCE 0810, as Kubuntu 0710 version is not compatible with my hardware (espacially with my MB GA-E7AUM-DS2H - Geforce9400).

Kubuntu 810 is now up, up-to-date and running. My question is, if I start testing the actual alpha version, what I will hae to do to upgrade it to next alpa/beta one? Just by running the install scripts again?

Thanks,
Nick
