Installation issues / Re: Disk Drive not correctly starting

« on: February 14, 2010, 02:14:42 am »

Ok Great news.

My problem with the video drivers was that I had installed them from a .deb that i had downloaded from the nvidia website before I had installed LMCE over Kubuntu 810.

I believe that the install wiped out my 190.53 driver and installed a 180 driver.

So, like jimbodude had suggested, I manually removed the nvidia-glx-180 package.  (apt-get remove nvidia-glx-180)

I had checked my /etc/apt/sources.list and i did not have the avenard.org/release line.  After adding that in, I updated and dist-upgraded.

Reboot!

Terrible video, so i manually installed the .deb from the nvidia website (dropped to runlevel 1 and sudo dpkg -i NVIDIA-x86-yaddayaddayadda.deb)

Full 1080p with working disk drives!  It is the gateway for my house as we speak.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the reply!  I greatly appreciate the help.

I checked in the path you provided (and on the web admin page) and there are no Disk Drive logs to be found.  However (strangely) the web admin sees them both and gives them numbers.  28 and 30.

The DCERouter.log has lines that look like this:

Code: [Select]

Parameter 9(Text): Downloading Pluto Disk Drive Functions... <0x8bec9b90>

And then:

Code: [Select]

Parameter 9(Text): Failed to get Pluto Disk Drive <0x8bec9b90>

That repeats for 4 times consecutively, twice in the log.  Any thoughts on what could be the problem?

I have tried the apt-get update and dist-upgrade options in lieu of the new updates, however i get an error there too.

Code: [Select]

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  nvidia-glx-180: Depends: nvidia-180-libvdpau (>= 180.53) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies.  Try using -f.

So, thinking that everything is a quick fix with apt-get I do a sudo apt-get -f install
I get:

Code: [Select]

What should i do here? Should i try to find the package somewhere on the interweb and manually install it?

Thank you for your patience!

Installation issues / Disk Drive not correctly starting

« on: February 11, 2010, 07:35:20 am »

Hello! I've been a happy and quiet LMCE tinkerer for almost a year now.  I LOVE this system.  It's absolutely revolutionary!

To my problem now. I have recently installed the 32bit 810 Beta (from DVD) to a box that I have recently built. (AMD Athlon II 3 GHz, Asus 785GM-E65, 4 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Gt220 vid)

I have sucessfully installed 810 beta with working video drivers.  U1 overlay (No blending) works great with flickr pics and all!  When the core/hybrid is generating the media director for the hybrid, It fails to start the 2 disk drives (DVD drives) and tells me that they did not start correctly.  When I put in a DVD for video playback, LMCE does nothing.  I'm assuming since it couldn't start the device, it can't read the media.  Fairly logical, right?

How do I fix this?  Any thoughts or any more information needed?

Thank you!
