Installation issues / Missing MD configuration file "pxelinux.cfg/default"

« on: September 24, 2010, 07:00:54 am »

Hi!

Trying to install the latest snapshot 23304 from 23/9/2010...

The core install went OK, no problems at all..

When i ran "sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh" to prepare diskless MD, i got that

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-mythtv-player: PreDepends: mythtv-backend but it is not installable
                              PreDepends: mythtv-frontend but it is not installable
                
E: Broken packages
#### Package pluto-orbiter failed (/tmp/tmp.kGzVe19952) - We wait 10sec and try again - to stop retrying press Ctrl-C.
^C

error...

Since more then 10 mins there was no change, I ended the process with "CTRL+C"... - OK, MD should at least somehow ran without it, i thought...

After that, I started my MD (it is an Acer EEE Box b202), when something like that comes along:

...
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Unable to locate configuration file

Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset...

And now I'm stuck...

Is this somehow connected?
What to do?!

Users / mythtv --> network recorder (core)

« on: June 03, 2010, 10:13:45 am »

Hi all!

I want to watch the internet stream TV thru Linuxmce-->Mythtv...

Generally in Mythtv dedicated backend, I would need to set a static IP address to one of my NIC's (ex. 10.29.23.XXX) - to the one, that is used "instead" of the supplied set-top-box).

As you see, the IP nember is completely different from our 192.168.80.xxx system - so i would need to add another NIC into the core or MD, with mentioned subnet etc... and after that set a "digital recorder" in mythbackend setup to that NIC...

Has someone tried that already? Do you see some difficulties already now - before I (maybe even) break my working setup?

Thanks, bye

« on: March 31, 2008, 08:20:45 pm »

Ok!

I received my NEW VIA EPIA 18000G today...

I "trew away" my "old" via epia 6000 ML, and went to my bedroom, all happy to try my new toy...

and then...

at boot sequence it starts to looping/repeating following text:
****************

Users / firewall/port forwarding issue (??)

« on: March 18, 2008, 07:48:16 am »

Hi!

I have some 3 Dreamboxes (satelite receivers) in my house, since Linuxmce installation behind the core... They need to be accessible from the internet (don't ask me why, it's a "funny" reason)

Before that, to get to these boxes, i just set port forwarding on my dsl modem/router like following:
port 5901 in -- port 5900 and ip 192.168.0.5 out
port 5902 in -- port 5900 and ip 192.168.0.6 out
port 5903 in -- port 5900 and ip 192.168.0.7 out
That worked without any problems, like said, till LMCE install.

First, i tried to access only the core. So i setup just like: port 5900 in - port 5900 and 192.168.0.31 out (that is my static core ip). No problem!** 

BUT, if i try to set the port forwarding up on the dsl modem/reouter and the core, like follows, it does not work...

DSL MODEM/ROUTER;
port 5901 in -- port 5901 and core ip (192.168.0.31) out
port 5902 in -- port 5902 and core ip out
port 5903 in -- port 5903 and core ip out
...
CORE:
port 5901 in -- port 5900 and 192.168.80.5 out (first box)
port 5902 in -- port 5900 and 192.168.80.6 out (second box)
port 5903 in -- port 5900 and 192.168.80.7 out (third box)

 

the boxes can connect to the internet, so there is no problem with their network setup...

So i'm pretty desperate already, 'couse i need these "ports and stuff"....

Oh, and something: i disabled firewal. With firewall on i couldn't manage not even the (**) thing above...

Is it a firewall/port forwarding issue or my issue??

Installation issues / mod: MD installation issue - diskless setup failed

« on: March 06, 2008, 08:53:18 am »

Hi!

Yesterday i tried to add one (first) MD to my core - the core is now setup correctly - i hope, the dhcp is working ok, etc., etc... The MD is a generic AMD AM2, 64bit, 1Gb ram... the core is a P4 2,4, 760 Mb ram

I know, the MD's must be diskless, so there is no HD in it, only DVD drive

I setup in BIOS LAN booting, it also starts it, till...

xxxxxx eth0: No link during utilization.
xxxxxx usb 2-8: device not accepting address 2, error -10
xxxxxx usb 2-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
xxxxxx usb 2-8: device not accepting address 3, error -10
xxxxxx usb 2-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
xxxxxx usb 2-8: device not accepting address 4, error -10
xxxxxx usb 2-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
xxxxxx usb 2-8: device not accepting address 5, error -10

i stalls... lloooong time...

Sorry, i'm no IRQ expert or somthing, nor the BIOS expert...

what to do?!?!

thanks for tips...

EDIT: like you can see in following replies, i have "DISKLESS SETUP FAILED" with other computers as well
