Progress.
First, I wanted to make sure there is nothing wrong with my setup, and there certainly is. I Installed LMCE remotely into virtual machine running in a headless box. I chose to install using Core only option and it seems something is missing in my headless install.
Today I installed it on bare metal with all bells and whistles, when rebooting a wizard came up and set up my stick no problem.
Now the question is how can I activate this stick in my headless virtual machine ...

Code: [Select]

Bus 008 Device 002: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device

Code: [Select]

cp210x                 21610  1
usbserial              37201  3 cp210x

When I plug it in LMCE won't recognize it. I can see in dmesg usbserial is loaded.

How to troubleshoot this?

Failure ...
VirtualBox built on a pure 64-bit host will not support 32-bit guests - now when I think of it it's obvious. Additionally, if host does not support VT-x 64-bit quests are not supported. Since this is a E2180 (no VT-x) the VBox I installed is completely useless.
Going to add 32-bit support to the host.

Hey, thanks alot! Do I even need 32-bit support in kernel?
I do not have any spare boxes, I need to run it natively on Gentoo or in a VM.
What are possible caveats running it in VM? All I need really is Z-Wave. VBox can pass USB devices to a client, that's all I need.

Gentoo 64-bit, no-multilib profile (this is a Gentoo thing), VirtualBox. Basically, there is no 32-bit libraries in the system. Reconfiguring kernel to support 32-bit is easy, compiling 32-bit libraries requires 32-bit toolchain ... which requires 32-bit ...
Well, I guess I have to go thru that ordeal and and inject that 32-bit stuff into this Gentoo box somehow to turn it multilib.
Thanks for your reply.

I'd like to run LMCE in a virtual machine, the host has no 32-bit support. Possible? Can't find 64-bit LMCE download.

Nope, I had no time to mess with it, but methinks I need to check if usbserial module was even loaded, I believe this is needed? Anyhow, I downloaded 1204 and I'm going to install it today after I get home from work.

Running 1004. After plugging in Aeon DSA02203-ZWUS Labs Z-Wave Z-Stick Series 2 USB Dongle I can see following in /var/log/messages:

Code: [Select]

AFAIK it is supposed to appear in Devices? But it does not ... Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Interesting ... it seems there is an answer to my second question (from initial post) - http://www.agocontrol.com/

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_From_Source is the wiki page you might want to start with.

Yes, but as I stated in my initial post svn command fails on me ...

why don't you just go with something like Mister House which is designed just for Homeautomation. You take a fullhouse solution and want to take away about 90% of its features. Doesn't make much sense, right?

IF

Thanks, MisterHouse does not do Z-Wave ... yet.

Installation issues / Installation from source - how to get them?

« on: January 05, 2014, 04:48:40 pm »

I installed core in a virtual machine, it went alright, I can access the web interface and it is functional.
However ... there is incredible amount of unneeded software, Asterisk, CUPS, Samba, NIS, MythTV, etc. Also I do not need router functionality. It is headless, but even core install installs KDE, it just won't load it.
All I need is the Home Automation part, methinks it's called Pluto?
So I figured I'll clean it up a little. But it seems to be impossible with supercow apt-get because literally everything depends on each other.
Well, I thought I'll build it from source and see if I can configure it with minimal dependencies.
The beginning is not encouraging, after looking at Wiki and googling the following URL is the best I found - but it errors out:

Code: [Select]

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/
svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004'
First question, how to get sources?

Second question, maybe there already is modular install and I do not have to build it from source?

I'm making my first steps in the Z-Wave world. Is this forum a good place for Z-Wave questions or there is a dedicated one somewhere?

Methinks this is a wise thing to do. I will install stable LMCE into a spare PC and learn more about it.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Thanks

I wonder if I can run LMCE on X server without installing KDE ... just plain X and QT.
