I am very sorry.  I have been searching through all this info for a couple months now on how to get my MD to operate properly and lost my head not researching this perticular subject before I asked.  Again, sorry.  I did not mean to offend.

Well when you get around your install I would appreciate if you could find where to do that for me, as well as how to disable the flikr script so I can just use my own images rotateing.  Thank you for all your help.  Your the best!

And how do you change the actual images that are shown in the screensaver?

How do I go about changeing what images are displayed in the pluto gallery viewer as well as the time when it activeates?

Yes that is the version of linuxMCE I am running.  When I do ctrl alt f8 I get a black screen with a blinking curser.  Any ideas?

By the way it has been way longer than 20 minutes to generate the orbiter on the MD.

Anybody?

When my MD starts I get a grey screen with a blue bar with the title orbiterGL in the middle at the top of the screen.  The blue bar appears and dissapeares over and over and thats all I get.  I have searched the forums here for someone with a similar situation with a solution and have not been able to find one.  I am useing a nvidia 6200 and am quite frankly stuck.  Help!

I have installed my MD succesfully, and have noticed after about 10 minutes of it being idle, the mouse responce time as well as the keyboard responce time begins to seriously lag.  Does anybody have an idea on why this latency may be happening?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have now even tried deleting the md on my core to see if that would help, but I am still getting:  PXE-M0F:  No DHCP or proxy DHCP offers were received. 

It doesn't even attempt to re set up the md.

Somebody please help!

I am still having this issue.  I have checked and all my network cables are ok and my switch is working properly.  Could somebody help me to get this to work.  I am stuck.

You are correct, I added the e1000 driver.  That is why I am so confused.

ok, so I followed the steps in the following wiki page:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC

It seems though that that did not solve my NIC problem on my MD.  I now get the following when I attempt to netboot my media director:

pxe-m0f: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.
PXE-M0F:  Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

Could some one help me?  I have been trying to get this MD to work for weeks now and have been held up by this NIC problem the whole time!!

ok, thanks!  So I am now on the last step of that page and am stuck, here is what I have done and where I am stuck:

linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless/43/etc$ cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless$ chroot 43
Command 'chroot' is available in '/usr/sbin/chroot'
The command could not be located because '/usr/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative priviledges associated with your user account.
bash: chroot: command not found
linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless$ sudo /usr/sbin/chroot
/usr/sbin/chroot: missing operand
Try `/usr/sbin/chroot --help' for more information.
linuxmce@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/diskless$ sudo chroot 43
root@dcerouter:/# depmod
root@dcerouter:/# cd/boot
bash: cd/boot: No such file or directory

what am I missing now?

ok so I am attempting to go through the steps from here:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC
I got through the first step and edit, but when I get to rebuilding the initial ramdisk I get the following when I try both of the recommended steps:

File /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules saved
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh
cp: cannot create regular file `/tftpboot/default/vmlinuz': Permission denied
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh: line 6: mkinitramfs: command not f                             ound
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh: line 15: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/de                             fault: Permission denied
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ mkinitramfs -d etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/ -o /tftpboot/default/initrd
Command 'mkinitramfs' is available in '/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs'
The command could not be located because '/usr/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative priviledges associated with your user account.
bash: mkinitramfs: command not found
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$

What am I missing here?

Also, when I install the driver for the new nick, does it matter where or what directory I install it into?

Ok so what is the text editor in kubunu to use to modify those files?  Also, how do I untar the linux driver files and where do I put them on my core's system?
