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

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?

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

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/

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

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

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
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

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

Hi all

As I belive that many uf us want to try to reuse already owned or old hardware in general, but that often the Graphics performance is the issue to get UI2, this might be of interest:

The company "Albatron" will soon offer graphics cards based on the  GeForce 8400, 8500 und auch 8600 FOR THE   PCI  SLOT.
This means that (some) of these cards will have just the ideal gpu chipset for LMCE and that you can use it on hardware without a agp or pci-express slot (or as a second or alternative graphics card). Me for example I own some Dell desktops with integrated gpu and no agp or pci-express slott....so this should just be ideal for it.

See here for information in german: http://winfuture.de/news,40737.html
Add your own link if you find information in english!

I am looking foreward to test at lease 1 of these as soon as they come out.
Please share your experiences or thoughts.

Hi all

The motherboard INTEL D945GCLF, Atom 230 (1.6 GHz), i945GC is out now.
It really looks like a potential MD platform. Low power consumption most of all and small in size.

A german review can be found here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/de/atom-230-Hyperthreading-945GCT-D,testberichte-240070.html
An english review of atom here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-atom-cpu,1947.html

I would like to start this topic to discuss experiences by users.
Apparently it is not availabel in shops yet (at least here in Switzerland), but should hopefully soon be ready to ship.

Looking foreward

cheers

Users / Minimum requirements for (pxe booting) MD ?
July 10, 2008, 11:03:47 AM
Hi all

I am looking to buy an old notebook and to use it as digital picture frame and to listen to audio. Ideally it would be pxe booting. But what I am not sure of is what are the minimal RAM and Processor requirements.

Who knows or has tried?

Thanks

Users / WOL not possible for hybrid?
July 09, 2008, 09:58:43 PM
Hi all

I today tried to wol (wake on lane) my hybrid from my ipcop firewall with wake-on-lane and from a linux machine with etherwake, but it did not work. In the bios of the hybrid mb the boot rom is enabled and wake up from pci/pcie events is enabled as well. I tried with the mac of both nics. Its an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard.

what could be the problem? is the problem that it is a hybrid? wol from my ipcop firewall otherwise works fine for other machines on the lan

Maybe i do have to modify something in the nic properties under kde desktop? i could not find any settings corresponding to wol.

thanks

Hi all

Could not find an anwser to this question in the forum.

Does the "follow me" function work with the Nintendo WiiMote? How? Or how could it be accomplished?

This would be a great functionality for the WiiMote since it also is such a great and cheap input device.
Thanks
Roberto
