This is amazing. It worked like a charm everytime. Thank you very much. this is extremely helpful.
Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com

okay, I got one problem solved
I updated Alsa on the MD to 1.0.21...I did a little digging around the net and arrived here:
Code: [Select]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137
They provide a script, that automatically downloads, compiles and updates the drivers, if I understood it right.
(you have to be registered to download the script)
So now I checked with alsamixer and suddenly I got all the controls I needed...sound optical is working nicley now.
I haven't tried hdmi, but right now I don't care that much for it.
Right now I have only two issues remaining here: getting the sound from the core
and getting MythTV to playback TV on the MD. MythTV-stup still claims that there non-exisiting paths for storage, but they are all there.
Interstingly, like I mentioned earlier, TV is working on the core.
Worked it out!
Just in case anyone has same problem, the device template had lost the setting for which device/port was controlling it.
In this case the USB port had somehow changed from pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0+2 to pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0+3
Therefor opened the device and changed the COM port to the correct port that the USB UIRT was running on, and voilla can now learn codes again.
Hi,
Did you see this wiki?

Cheers.
Hi,
I really don't understand why you guys are having repository/troubles building a Core.
I've rebuilt alpha so many times and have never had a problem.
Sorry Hari about the bandwidth.
Just in case it's procedural, here's what I do...QuoteInstallation of LinuxMCE-0810 alpha2
Procedure:
1. Install Kubuntu 0810 (Intrepid Ibex).
2. After Kubuntu software has been installed perform a reboot (follow instructions on screen).
3. After login, open the K Launch Manager to Applications > System > Terminal.
Log in as root - enter...
sudo su -
[sudo] password for XXXXXX: (XXXXXX is your username -The password is what you specified during
the kubuntu installation.)
4. To see the active kernel enter...
uname -r
At the time of writing it is 2.6.27.7-generic
5. Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
Enter...
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
6. If required (Nvidia card installed), enable the most recent NVIDIA restricted (video) driver.
This can be done by
a) selecting the hardware icon on the task bar and activating the recommended version.
b) navigating via the K Launch Manager to Applications > System > Hardware Drivers.
Enter your password (if required) and highlite the latest version.
Then select the Activate button to download and install the driver.
c) If your card can not be enabled from a or b open the K Launch Manager to
Applications > Add/Remove Software Adept Installer and search for NVidia.
Select the latest binary X.org driver.
(After doing the apt-get dist-upgrade in step 5, the latest nvidia driver should be 180.)
Restart the system to activate the latest nvidia driver.
7. After the reboot to see the active kernel enter...
uname -r
At the time of writing it is 2.6.27.14-generic. (The 180 nvidia driver should be active at this
point from step 6. Check the hardware icon in the task bar.)
8. After login, open the K Launch Manager to Applications > System > Terminal.
Log in as root - enter...
sudo su -
[sudo] password for XXXXXX: (XXXXXX is your username -The password is what you specified during
the kubuntu installation.)
9. Enter...
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
10. Unpack the tar file. Enter...
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
11. Then change to the just created new-installer directory.
cd new-installer
12. Run the following scripts (in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
13. When completed reboot the system.
After the restart wait for the system activity to stop.
The A/V wizard will appear.
14. Setup your requirements using the A/V wizard.
When you have finished the A/V setup the X window will restart.
The system will start various processes. Please be patient as this will take a while.
Personal System Changes (edited)
To get the Core to play decrypted and encrypted DVD's.
1. Install extra packages.
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh (this installs libdvdcss2) [may need to install libdvdread3]
apt-get install w32codecs
apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
I hope this helps to avoid issues.
