Users / Cheap-ish home automation

« on: March 26, 2008, 10:27:31 am »

This swedish company has a USB-stick developed that allows interfacing to several brands of cheap remote controlled home automation devices, google for "tellstick" to find it.

This would be a neat thing for lmce, imo. I think z-wave and friends might be "too much" for some.

Installation issues / RC1 attempt1: Failed install

« on: July 29, 2007, 07:31:40 am »

I was drunken and tired yesterday evening when I tried installing RC1 and kubuntu live-CD caching was _incredibly_ slow. I should've used a iso instead...


Anyway, I had just installed Kubuntu 7.04, and had not done anything with it. No updates, no nothing.


I then proceed to install Linuxmce, and I went to bed during the Kubunutu Live CD caching. Woke up and it says "installation failed". Logfiles are available:

Installation issues / Installer breaks connection

« on: June 04, 2007, 01:19:01 pm »

I tried both on a stanard desktop PC, with 2 NICs, and a laptop with wifi+wired NIC.

Both times, the installer seems to break the internet connection somehow.

If this was fixed, I think my install would be flawless. I actually finished the desktop-install by doing ifup/ifdown on eth1, during the install. It then actually succeeds in continuing, even though a few packages in the middle failed downloading. I guess they got picked up in another later run.
