Installation issues / LMCE 810 on top of Kubuntu 810 in vmware server 2

« on: July 15, 2009, 02:00:20 pm »

Hi all

I am trying to set up the last release of 810 on top of Kubuntu 810 in vmware server 2 but cant get any networkconnection (to work) after installing Kubuntu itself. Has anyone succesfully tried this setup? I am not skilled in Linux. I tried adding 2 network konnections eth0 and eth1 but have no working connection.

So really my question is: what do you basically have to do to get network connections working in Kubuntu 810? I guess I am just not able to do this step correctly.

Did anyone successfullly already setup such an environment?  Is it only a vmware server problem? I tried to install the vmware tools but had some errors and it did not help.
I guess if nobody is able to help I will try to install on a actual computer so to find out if it is a vmware server problem

Any hint?

Thanks

Installation issues / Zotac's Ion Board On Windows 7: Nvidia Re-Arms Intel’s Atom - compatability?

« on: May 14, 2009, 01:13:29 pm »

Hi all

I have been waiting for this as the ION plattform should combine the Atom processor with the Nvidia chipset for low power consumption and good video output capability. I hope to get as much input on this as possible as soon as the product will be availabele cause it looks like a interesting board for MD's and might get one for my self for testing if it look generally promising to who ever will read this.

What do you think?

Here is the link:

« on: April 23, 2009, 09:46:11 pm »

Hi all

I have a hybrid from which I can perfectly view youtube videos
I have a md connected to it from which I can't. The error is:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player"

I checked the settings in firefox and they are identical on both machines
"apt-get update" did not help

any idea?

Thanks in advance

Installation issues / Guide for installing diskless md with pcmcia nentwork card?

« on: March 19, 2009, 11:04:43 pm »

Hi all

Can anyone point me to a guide how to make a notebook install for a diskless md booting with a pcmcia network card (installing (grub) on to a harddisk (physically i will use a cf card with an adapter) and also how to do this install (grub) on to a cd) ? unfortunately I don't have a build in floppy drive.
The bios option to boot from card bus networkcard is given, but does not work. It is a Dell Inspiron 5100 wiht a Trendnet TEG-PCBUSR pcmcia network card.
Thanks for any advice
Roberto

This guide: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GRUB_PXE_network_boot is for installation on to a floppy only, right?
Do you think this might work as I have a file for my card called RTGBODI.com on the installation cd ? http://howto.gumph.org/content/pxe-boot-a-laptop/

Installation issues / Nokia N70 as orbiter - installed - what now??

« on: February 19, 2009, 10:13:13 pm »

Hi all
I followed this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Nokia_N70 and this http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Symbian_Post-Install except for the Web Admin Settings cause i dont have my phone running over lmce and dyndns is configured on my ipcop firewall.
So now what? i thought i can now send commands from the N70 over the bluetooth connection to the MD to start music and so on but the only thing shown on the display is "(no data)".
Did I misunderstand everything and do i need a phone running over lmce to use the N70?
I had no errors during the installatin but i was sitting in the room where my hybrid is and did everything from there, whilst, strangly, only the MD in the nearby room has a bluetooth dongle. When I finished installing I went to the MD room and I had to click "OK" to the one message you have to click that.

Thanks for any hints in the right direction
cheers

Users / Do I need media center remote controle? and a specific remote reciver?

« on: December 31, 2008, 02:16:22 pm »

Hi all
I have the possibility to buy several Microsoft media center remote controls (without a respective reciver!) at once. Now I am wondering if I really do need it or if a can use any remotecontrol as I am using USB UIRT. Or IF the reciver would be included that would work well without a usb uirt (and would be cheaper).
Thanks
cheers

Installation issues / pxe boot over the household power circuit using security?

« on: November 02, 2008, 03:44:43 pm »

Hi all

I am thinking of starting to user Devolo products to build a network over the household power circuit.
For example: http://www.devolo.co.uk/uk_EN/produkte/dLAN/dn-8-mldlanhsstarterkit.html
What I would like to continue doing is to have diskless pxe booting MD's only. So my question is:
Is it possible to pxe boot AND use the security software provided with the hardware?
I am asking this because.... what is done first?.. the boot or the authentification..? Or... do I get it wrong?

Any hints would be appreciated.

thanks and cheers

Users / LMCE standard backup vs. Raid

« on: August 15, 2008, 09:55:57 am »

Hi all

I am wondering about the following:
LMCE has a backup function already included. But as I know it does not (for example) back up the files of diskless MD's, right? So if it is like that this is not a complete backup solution. I then would rather use software raid by fist installing ubuntu, setting up the raid and then install LMCE on top of it. If it works I dont know, I am going to try, but am I right that the standard backup function of LMCE does not back up the files of the disless MD's (and what else .... who can tell me) or am I wrong?

Thanks

Installation issues / How to enable my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 5.1

« on: July 12, 2008, 12:49:18 pm »

Hi all

I have installed a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy  SE 5.1 sound card and "the green line out" works when I hook up normal speakers. But when I connect my 5.1 speakers, I still only have sound on the line out (green plug). Where do I have to change settings to get the 5.1 sound? Any pointers? Is it maybe alsamixer but where do I find it?
Thanks
cheers
