Never had to do something like that, but I would

* Change the setting for the drive in web admin form public to use LinuxMCE structure.
* Reboot the system
* wait a bit (or press resync)

Report back your findings.

You Sir, is truely LMCE God !
The hard drive is now properly mounted after reboot. doing Resync and things seem to fall in place. Thank you very much.

Update: 

I think the issue is there there.
my Media driver is mounted under following location.
/home/public/data/other/931.51 GB (sda1) WDC_WD10EADS- [35]/public/data/

in that data folder I have videos, pictures and audio directories with all the media in respectively.
All my videos got populated on Orbiter
All my Songs got populated on Orbiter,
But none of my pictures shows up. I checked attributes to all folders and assigned attribute "Linuxmce Pictures" they all appears on database now as I can see "check sign" under webadmin But they aren't populated on the orbiter. I do not know what else to do.

I added some pictures in /home/publice/data/pictures (on the main hard drive where system is installed ) and they immediately showed up on the orbiter.

This is really frustrating. I honestly did not want my media drive to be mounted under /home/public/data/other to begin with because my drive that contains media is already has "Linuxmce directory structure." however the message on the orbiter scared me out when I added the drive so I chose to make everything public, so it got mounted as "other". I knew something would go wrong.
Is there any way I can revert this back?

If not what should I do to get my pictures populated?

I hope I am explaining my case properly.

Thank you. Teju.

My Resolution issue is solved for now. I have done extensive modification to my xorg.conf..

Added bunch of modeline under Section "Monitor" and "Screen" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
I used following command to get all modelines that I needed.

gtf 1920 1080 60

here is my xorg.conf looks now and all video playbacks are normal. resolution issue is gone.

I now remember that I had to blacklist "nouveau" module in order to have nvidia install. I followed a post and blacklist following modules. Perhaps one of those are responsible why I do not have proper AV wizard. Is it possible?

here are the list of blacklist.conf modules.

blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist rivatv
blacklist nvidiafb

Hi Podse...

Did you modify the setup scripts that you had been asked to modify in IRC?

Yes, that is how I was able to install the desire driver. here..

cat /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh  =  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15751654/

The security pics should not end up in /usr/pluto/bin but end up in /home/securitypics

That must be system's fault. I know I added camera exactly how it says on wiki. What can I check to confirm?

Thanks.

These are the info from other system where,, Nvidia card runs very smoothly.

xorg.conf from that system. http://paste.debian.net/432046/

These information might be irrelevant since other system is 64 bit and LMCE is 32 bit. I don;t know,, hope someone can help here.

Thanks again for looking into this.

Hey guys,,

I am experiencing some issues with my system and unable to resolve despite my efforts. The purpose of the thread is not to complain but to report.
I would try my level best to explain as much as I can.

1.) I have Nvidia 6200 card and as we know it is not supported by latest driver. Therefore I went ahead and installed nvidia-304-131. The system is successfully running however, here are the related issue.
First of all, I was never able to see clearly AVWizard except step 1. as soon as I pick DVI, Resolution, and refresh rates. all rest steps were completely unreadable. I finished AVwizard blindly used my experience for it. having said. I have UI on my screen that is completely off tract. I am attaching the pic.

I may be able to solve the problem with 1.) manually edit xorg.conf 2.) re run AV wizard which I have already tried unsuccessfully. On the same system I sometimes boot into separate desktop (debian KDE) where I use same nvidia driver for same card and the resolution looks perfect on that while for LMCE even on KDE desktop, the card is not at its best.
Third,, I sometimes get error during boot saying "fixing recursive fault but reboot needed" and it hangs up. two third attempt and its boots normally for me.

I believe these all are related to my Nvidia card. and the way driver has installed and also the kernel issue. I would post xorg.conf for both system here so someone can help.

2.) When I play any video file on the LMCE , the picture not at all sync with my monitors resolution. I do not know ,, weather its nvidia again or something with xine player issue.

3.) I have installed a logitech 9000 security camera according to wiki page and it works perfect. however, other day I noticed that my /etc/pluto/bin directory was flooded with .jpg files and I noticed those images were from my camera whenever I accessed security webcam from the orbiter. "is that normal ?" I never seen that happening before unless design has been changed.

Please see the following command outputs, hope that helps.

you may wanna print this out.

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Make_a_DCE_Device_in_5_minutes

also,

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Creating_a_Device_Template_for_a_Remote_that_uses_the_kernel_input_subsystem This may not directly apply to our case but gives good idea how to make a device plug in play,, in this case ,, I believe we want to make a device template that is plug in play.

hope that helps,,

here we go,,

Great place to start.

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_new_computing_apps

I'm afraid I have no programming skills.    I have no idea how to do this...

rebelkiller,

I am on same boat. Always have these ideas but reading codes like a foreign language. Anyways,, If you want we can dig little more into this. I am willing to put some efforts.

Following is my understanding and observation.
1.) if you notice about mythTV ; when we fire myth from the computing the entire software runs on its own putting everything on side. example, UI, screensaver etc.  unlike,the way as the firefox launches.
2.) mythTV is a software given as a choice. Which means, If I do not want the front end would not be installed on a particular MD. These softwares can be added and removed from the webadmin under devices and as a child device for a particular MD.

Same way Kodi may be integrated to LMCE.
Should be available as optional on a particular MD only.
When user chooses, the software would be installed as a child device by running a install scrip that would install kodi.
the link to fire kodi may be made available on computing page of the UI underneath myth.

Everything LMCE does it through a device template. I found this wiki that explains the Device template in less complex language.
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Vista_ICM_Panel_Development

Perhaps, Kodi is a huge piece of software for us to start. we can try something very lightweight first.

Let me know, what you think.
Any words from LMCE Gods would be appreciated.
Thanks.

NeverMind Guys. I used the resyncronize Button for one of the Song album folder and files for that folder got populated.

I think I just would use that button for all directories.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

I am on 14.04. After installing my Hybrid Core. I added my media drive to the system. upon reboot the system detected the drive. It basically gave me three choices on the screen.
1. ) use linuxmce file structure.
2.) make everything public
3.) choose the user for the content to use.

I originally had the linuxmce file structure on my media drive since it has only two directories "public" and "user_1". however the message scared me so I selected to make everything public as I have contents on the drive.

I understand that if I have a lot of stuffs on the drive it would take time to populate the media. However after waiting so long I still dont have anything populated.

I think, contents are only exist on drive not in database. Also, the drive is mounted as "Other" instead of to Public directory.

Please take a look at the screenshot and I hope it would make more sense.

What should I do? Is it permission issue?
Is it possible to use the drive use as linuxmce file structure, without loosing any contents? in otherwords, is there a go back?

Please advice.
Thanks.

Can you please provide update on your experience. I am planning to go for z-wave stick gen5 route and probably add some dimmer switches and more.

I am also on 14.04 install.

Thanks.

Hi Posde,,

I chose re running AV wizard from Advance options menu, had a hard time to go though the AV wizard as the screen was too big but I made it through. The system now as overlay UI and following is the output of the command.

I see, driver 304 in the list. not sure is that the one being used by system?
The system is running fine at the moment.

I would mark the post as solved. For now.

To Phenigma

Do you still want me to create the ticket for the same? I think you said you already fixed it. If yes, I do not know how to submit a ticket
Need log in credentials for git.

Thanks.

After that Restart_WithAVWizard and things should be fine.

I do not see such script under /usr/pluto/bin ,, Am I looking at right place?
