Installation issues / delete hdd?
September 05, 2011, 11:18:21 PM
When I installed Linuxmce I clicked on a hard drive and made it private,  I dont want to be private. The question is can i delete it in the admin site and will I have another chance to configure it? It is loaded with my media and I dont want to loose it.

I was able to get sound and video using an alsa upgrade script 1.0.24.2 from http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=182961&d=1297117212 (You have to have a user account)

1. download the script and save it somewhere
2. cd <your-download-dir>
3. tar xzvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.tar.gz
4. chmod +x AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh
5. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh -d
6. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh -c
7. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh -i
8. sudo shutdown -r 0

and when I restarted I hed sound and video!!! ;D

I want to add...

I think it is alsamixer version 1.0.18 on the md that is the problem, I also checked the version on the core and its version 1.0.23
how can I upgrade alsa on the md?

Hello all,

I have an Acer Revo r3610 running as a diskless md with the 330 ion hardware and atheros wifi. I had an issue with the wifi and that is resolved. When I get it to the av wizard I have no sound over hdmi and no video feed for Sarah. I get the UI 2 with flicker and I can navigate just like normal. When I try to play any media I get a blank screen for a sec or 2 then it goes back to flicker with the mute and play/pause buttons. I have the 195 nvidia driver by default installed. I have went to alsamixer and made sure that all is unmuted...no go. I am running snapshot LinuxMCE-8.10-24431-i386.iso.

I have spent hours of research, searching the forums and google any help would be appreciated.

Ok. I pxe booted the revo and it seems to have stopped at:

* mounting local filesystem...
mount: sysfs already mounted or /sys busy
mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /sys               [fail]

* Activating swapfile swap...

I'm going to try to disable acpi to see what will happens

"If you have the wifi adapter version of the revo you will need to add 'blacklist ath_pci' to the moons blacklist file. Be sure to modify according to your setup: /usr/pluto/diskless/##/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"

I do not have the wifi card in my revo, I took it out.
the reason I took it out is because I could not find /usr/pluto/diskless/##/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to blacklist ath_pci
the folder (diskless) is not in the (pluto) folder on the core and my revo has not been assigned a moon number yet by the core

I tried to use http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC wiki... I found the kernel module (forcedeth) for nVidia MCP79 ethernet, but I'm not sure if that is the right one. I also found (e1000e) for intel 10/100/100 ethernet, not sure wich one to use or both.
for now I used (forcedeth) when I went to /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules and put in forcedeth in the modules file
then I went to the terminal and put in:

                             sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_buildDefaultImage.sh ... didn't seem like anything happend
so I Put in:               mkinitramfs -d /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/ -o /tftpboot/default/initrd...still seem nothing happens

the directions say they are for lmce704, are they also for 810?

Installation issues / Acer Revo 3610 diskless MD

hallo all.

I'm tring to install my revo 3610 as a md in my master bedroom.

My core is a dell 4600 with intel 4 2.4Mhz single core processor, 1.5g ram, duel nic (1 onboard and a pci 3com), and a gforce 6200 agp
I used the dvd install of linuxmce 810, I followed the directions to the t from the linuxmce wiki. I have eth0 as external and eth1 as internal networks

When I pxe boot the revo, it starts going through all the motions and stops at could not open /usr/tmp-eth0 or something like that
I removed the internal wifi card out of the revo...no change
I have been researching and found people saying to edit the kernal module at usr/pluto/diskless with the proper driver. I dont have that folder
I have also read that i can blacklist the nic
or update the diskless image with the driver for the nic
I need direction on what I need to do...PLEASE I dont know what to do next
