Installation issues / Re: Could not start ksmserver. Check installation.

I got the same problem, I got my KDE back however by installing kdebase-workspace-bin, but this is not the whole KDE package.

Well I'm still getting (after an apt-get update):

Code: [Select]

It seems that the StorageDevices_Setup script is the bottleneck, can anyone post theirs?

I think indeed that djmount isn't the problem, my problem is in something that runs the StorageDevices_Setup.sh script. This script seems not correct.

Installation issues / Re: Error while apt-get update/upgrade

« on: September 04, 2009, 09:25:03 pm »

My apt-get update runs without any error now but in the apt-get upgrade I still get the following:

Code: [Select]

/usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh: line 49: djmount: command not found
/usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh: line 55: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh: line 55: `fi'

Errors were encountered while processing:
 pluto-mythtv-player
 pluto-mythtv-plugin
 pluto-firewire2video4linux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The first error is caused by the following lines of code (usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh):

Code: [Select]

## Start UPNP media files client
mkdir -p /mnt/upnp
if ! mountpoint /mnt/upnp ;then
djmount -o allow_other,default_permissions /mnt/upnp
fi

if [ -f /usr/pluto/bin/storagegroups_sync.sh ]
# Call MythTV Setup to alter storage groups.
/usr/pluto/bin/storagegroups_sync.sh
fi
Is it the first "then" statement that isn't correct? Shouldn't there be a "else"?

What is the djmount command? Because apt-get install djmount gives the following:

Code: [Select]

/usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh: line 55: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_Setup.sh: line 55: `fi'

Feature requests & roadmap / Re: Future Advanced Lighting Control

« on: August 10, 2009, 08:20:56 am »

HI
i have cueserver from interactive technologies that controls my dmx512 lighting in my home, its packed full of handy features and is easy to use and setup,i have started to add a template for it in linuxmce as it can be controled over a network with ruby or,it sends and receives messages via udp or serial in ascll
can any one help with with the ruby ,all i need to do -
to turn a light on                           chxxxatyyy                                   ch=channel , xxx=a number from 1 to 512 ,at=at ,and yyy=a number from 1 to 100
to turn a light off                           chxxxrel                                       ch=channel  ,xxx=a number from  1 to 512 ,rel=release
to turn a scene on  or off              cuezzzzzgo                                 cue=cue ,zzzzz= a number from 1 to 5000 ,go=go                                       
thats it !
i hope the first part of this post is helpful and would be very grateful for a little help
thanks steve

Hi Steve,

Could you email me your code as an example?

Installation issues / Re: Booting as a regular desktop

And as for a second question: If I install it in my current 0810 Kubuntu system and I upgrade this system to 0904 would it still work? Or are there features that would break on such an upgrade?

Installation issues / Booting as a regular desktop

How do I configure linux 0810 alpha 2 during installation that it doesn't boot upon startup but it only starts when I hit the link on my desktop?

I've now a 'standard' RS232 serial interface in to which I can send DMX command strings in the sense of :
- channel @ value : 001@100
- channel + channel @ value : 002+020@050
- channel thru channel @ value : 003T014@075
- record scene : R001
- call scene : C010
- ... and some other commands (viewing incoming dmx, dmx rate, errors, ...)

I've build a microcontroller board which translates this commands into DMX strings. It also takes DMX input which gives me other control options.
For each of the commands the microcontroller responds differently with a string send back over the serial port.

How do I implement this in the linuxMCE code?
How do I attach specific lamps to a specific channel?
Where can I find documentation about this process?

Can anyone give me an example how to implement such 'standard' serial port devices and how to take them up in the LinuxMCE code? I'm an C programmer with not very much C++ experience.

PS: If people are interested in this microcontroller board, this will come available on my website soon. I'm building an RC5, IR, MIDI, AD/DA interface board also.

I was actually thinking of doing the same (my company already promoted a couple of FOSS DMX related master thesisses) so we have device drivers and routines around. But how do I start implementing my driver in your Linux MCE? Were do I find this explanation? We have an artnode driver and a DMX device driver and I've also some experience with the Entec USB-DMX driver.
