Users / Re: "Tough Love In This Forum"

« on: March 27, 2009, 11:08:51 am »

I think I must be missing something, I'm not sure where you feel something was specifically directed at you. Do you mean in this particular thread, or are you referring to something else I don't know about (or missed!)

To answer your question, I feel that the deletion of my posts is pretty much specifically directed at me.  That is what I was refering to.  The same pretty much goes for bluntly locking that thread for no aparent reason other then to avoid the question obviously. 

And I guess you'll have to excuse me for getting a bit paranoid when suddenly a project turns into a totalitarian nightmare overnight because someone feels that these forums make him look bad to his friends (that have absolutely nothing to do with this project or community at all) and starts laying down the law.

Developers / Why was my post removed from this section?

« on: January 18, 2009, 12:37:36 pm »

Because this is the developer section, which is only intended for development related discussion and not user questions, installation issues or job offerings etcetera, we have seperate sections for those, use them!

For now we will be moving them, but if this keeps  up we will start to bluntly delete them, you have been warned.

Users / Re: Calming the System

« on: July 06, 2008, 04:26:47 pm »

Somebody seems to feel the need to accuse me of crimes agains humanity in a private message, and as I'm not a big fan of private messages I'll just answer it here publicly...

:(Sad to see that Linuxmce will be destroyed by a few people. You don't know me, but have still written poor proffesional posts to me. This is not a threat, you might be the one who could cause Linuxmce to colaps. I understand your posission so I am not posting this in the main forum to sjpare some enbarrasement on your part. You should maintain a proffessional air when dealing with costumers, it helps the reputation of the project. I know it canbe hard, but please stop having a fit every time someone does something wrong. I for one had no idea that I was posting in the wrong forum.

Keep your proffessionalism, spirits, and general health up. Treat people with respect. For any tips, or to chat, reply.
Thanks for listening,

First of all you don't know me either, but somehow that does not stop you from accusing me of destroying this project.   Obviously you don't understand my "posission" at all.  I am a volunteer, not a professional and certainly not selling a commercial product.  Which also means that you are not a customer, get over it. 

Instead of inappropriately lecturing people on how to be more useful to you , maybe you can try following some instructions and get a clue, that would really help this project.  And sorry to disappoint you but I'm not having a fit everytime I write something that some "costumers" like yourself don't approve of.

Now if you don't mind I'd like to get back to sorting out the lmce build scripts instead of answering whiny messages from "costumers".  Thanks for wasting my time with this bullshit though, I needed a break.

Developers / linuxmce.org seems to be dissapearing!!!!

« on: February 15, 2008, 01:57:29 pm »

Several users in the chatroom are reporting that they cannot access the linuxmce.org domain anymore.  This seems to be due to a DNS related problem.

Not really a developer issue I know, but I figure it will be picked up here the quickest.

Some more or less relevant information:

Users / FreePBX reporting broken in 0710-beta3?

« on: January 29, 2008, 10:04:22 pm »

When I go in the web-admin to Advanced > Configuration > Phones setup and click Reports, I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

Couldn't find anything with google about it, so I was wondering does anybody else get that and/or maybe knows how to fix it?

Users / Turning off bluetooth auto detection

« on: November 10, 2007, 05:02:30 pm »

Does anyone know how to do it?  I've looked at every message on these boards that mentions bluetooth but can't find any hints on this.

My system is picking up devices from outside my house and since I live right next to a busy shopping street it's almost becoming a day job to tell the system to ignore them one by one.  I figured it would get less after a while but that turned out to be wishful thinking, instead it has become a bit sluggish after litterally thousands of devices to ignore.  It would be far easier for me to enable the auto detection temporarily whenever I actually want to add a new bluetooth device.

Developers / sqlCVS

« on: October 27, 2007, 06:08:20 pm »

Does anybody know how this is supposed to work?

I'd like to check out a new clean database for testing with the components I've managed to build from source, but so far I can't find any good documentation on sqlCVS.

-d username    -- the owner of any unclaimed new records
            Default is the first user checking in records

-C attempts count  -- Maximal attempts to connect server if it's busy, default is unlimited
-T processor timeout  -- Timeout for server-side processor (seconds, default is 15 min)

And from looking at some of the scripts included in the source tarball I gather there are "commands" like: import, checkin, change_key, update-psc as well, but what they actually do remains a mystery to me.  I'm guessing (hoping) that one of these scripts is probably used post-install to get a fresh copy of the pluto database.

Aparently sqlCVS does not accept another local username then "root" so I have simply removed the root password on the local mysql database, now running without parameters gives me the folowing menu:

For all I know this could be a configuration file that sqlCVS depends on, but I feel a bit reluctant to try this on a real lmce installation as I'm obviously pretty clueless to what I'm exactly doing here and it wouldn't surprise me at all if I'm doing things horribly wrong...

Developers / Building from the source tarball

« on: August 31, 2007, 10:48:11 pm »

I'm just throwing this out in case somebody may find it useful, here is what I did so far:

• unpack the sources
• change directory
• copy original libraries from the system
• replace "Mozilla_Plugin" with "Plug_And_Play_Plugin" in Makefile_all
• generate a Makefile for "MessageSend" from a file already there
• replace <-mkr_t_compile_defines-> with a more useful default value in the Makefiles
• replace <-mkr_t_compile_libs-> with a more useful default value in the Makefiles
• build the DCERouter and some plugins

Code: [Select]

tar xvf  LinuxMCE_0704_Source.tar.bz2
cd LinuxMCE-1.1-SRC/src
cp -a /usr/pluto/lib/* lib/

sed -e 's/Mozilla_Plugin/Plug_And_Play_Plugin/g' -i Makefile_all
sed -e 's/\r$//' -e 's/^LDLIBS = -lpthread $/&-lhttp_fetcher/' MessageSend/Makefile.MessageSend >MessageSend/Makefile

find . -iname Makefile -exec sed -e 's/<-mkr_t_compile_defines->/-DKDE_LMCE -DDEBUG -DTHREAD_LOG -DLOG_ALL_QUERIES -I\/opt\/libxine1-pluto\/include -I\/opt\/libsdl1.2-1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007\/include -I\/opt\/libsdl1.2-1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007\/include\/SD/' -i '{}' \;
find . -iname Makefile -exec sed -e 's/<-mkr_t_compile_libs->/-L\/opt\/libxine1-pluto\/lib -L\/opt\/libsdl1.2-1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007\/lib/' -i '{}' \;

make -f Makefile_all 2>&1|tee make.log


This seems to build at least the basics for me.  Next you can go into the directory of what you want to build and do make clean all ("so" or "bin" can be used instead of "all" as well) there.

For example additional shared objects like the "Ruby_Generic_Serial_Device" (Generic_Serial_Device) and "VDRPlugin" could be build like this:

Code: [Select]

make clean so -C Generic_Serial_Device 2>&1|tee make-Generic_Serial_Device.log
make clean so -C VDRPlugin 2>&1|tee make-VDRPlugin.log


The resulting binaries and libraries are placed in the bin/ and lib/ directories, these can be copied to the corresponding directories under /usr/pluto/ but you might want to make a backup of those directories first. 

And that's about as far as I got for now, how about you?

-----

EDIT: corrected the directory to change into

EDIT: replaced the finds with exports as indicated by Paul.

EDIT: updated now that things appear to be working.
