Hi kyfalcon,

I've got an NX8400 in a MD and it gave no problems in 710.

Did the system assign a number for the MD in /usr/pluto/diskless ?

Cheers

yep

Hi kyfalcon,

...and just to be sure you are installing the 710 version?

Cheers.

Yes my setup is 710

Hi kyfalcon,

Is this the 8400 card that has s-video and dvi connectors only?

If so, are you trying to boot it up with tv-out connected?

What do you mean by crashing?  The screen going black?

Just trying to get a little more information.

Thanks.

Its got vga, dvi and s-video.

I currently am just trying to get to the AVWizard si I am connected to the VGA port. Once there I will set up the TV.

By crashing I mean it goes thru the boot process loading drivers etc and then stops dead at this point in the boot process

tried it again same thing!

Is there a boot log I can look at to try and find out what the problem is?

In the X11 directory for this MD there is no Xorg.conf file. Is that because I never got to the avwizard?

Andrew I've done that thrice to no avail. Is there a step I might be missing? Or bad files that may be lingering? Do the new NVIDIA Drivers automatically get installed if they are on the core?

Thx,
Kevin

I'm building a new diskless MD which didn't have a video card with tv out. If I hook this up to a pc monitor it will boot up and get me to the video/audio setup screen. If I put an NVidia 8400 card in the machine it starts the pxeboot process and crashes half way thru at anywhere from the 56.xxxxxx to 63.xxxxxxx steps. I have the same card working for my core just fine with the new NVidia drivers.

Do I have to copy these to the /usr/pluto/diskless/214 directory? if so what files do I need?

Thx

If you have a windows box that you can connect to your LMCE box there are free mp3 edit programs that are much easier. LMCE will then pick up the metadata after the edit.

I've got a gyration and the gyro only works about 25% of the time. I'd save your money and just get the windows remote. You'll get used to it in a hurry!

Yeah, it would.

But until we can figure that out, you can add it in the setup wizard, and it will work just fine.

Basically the TV will have ONE port, the PC port, and you just connect that to the media director in the setup wizard.

Thom,
Do I have to update something on my system to have this show up in the wizard? If so could you please explain how to get this template on my system!

Thanks,

So, I've been mucking around with Asterisk lately and decided to destroy my install! 

Realizing what I had done, I went hunting for the original asterisk-pluto and/or pluto-asterisk packages to repair things but could not find them anywhere locally. I searched ("find | grep [Aa]sterisk") my local deb-cache and the install DVD to no avail. (I'm using the 7.10 RC2 i386 single layer ISO if that matters.)  I noticed Tekoholic had similar issues...

In the meantime, I wiped the drive clean and put a fresh install to find asterisk-pluto happily running! Using the adept-manager, it shows the proper package relationships and installed files, but any information for the source package or filename is blank. (I figured the installation grabbed an updated .deb file from the repository and was going to stash it away for safe keeping.)

So, where should I reliably go to pull down the packages if I screw things up again? Apt-get recognizes that other packages depend on asterisk-pluto and pluto-asterisk but tells me it can't locate them in the repositories. Should I add another repository to the apt/sources.list? Do I need to pull down the dual layer DVD ISO? AMD64? Should I rebuild the package from the source? Just looking to make life easer in the future so that small tweaks don't lead to a 6-hour reinstall.

Thanks.

Lego, so far as I've learned, the only place to find the .deb's you need is on the install CD1 iso relative to your architecture (32- or 64-bit).  They are hidden away within the deb-cache dir on root of CD / image.  I did, in the end, copy them into the deb-cache on my own install, and have also put them in a tar.gz.  I'll post it up (gimme' 10 minutes or so) @ http://www.tekoholix.com/LMCE_Asterisk.tar.gz

Anyhow, the way I fixed it, was simply to place JUST these files in a dir, and from CLI, sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Of course, you must first remove anything that might interfere with the clean install...  I wrestled with that for a few...

BTW, in case it matters to anyone, after fixing my install, I DID succeed at upgrading to the newest FreePBX.  Currently running "FreePBX 2.5.1.0 on localhost", right nicely.  There are errors displayed, but everything works as it should, AFAIK.

edit:  Upload completed, and will be left there, so long as I don't exceed bandwidth limits.  BTW, this is for the 32-bit arch, NOT for amd64.

Tek,

I managed to screw my asterisk up and am trying to follow your instructions above. when you say remove anything which might interfere with a clean install... what exactly are those things?

 Thanks!

Feature requests & roadmap / Dish VIP 922

What are the chances of integrating the Dish VIP 922 into LinuxMCE or at least using it for liveTV and DVR instead of MythTV?

It should find and mount automatically. Can you access the fileserver from other machines on the network?

I'll try and see when I get home.

So you copied the files over without mounting the share(s) then?

I had the files backed up on a usb drive. I copied them from the USB to the file server. Sorry for the confusion. I have not mounted the fileserver. I thought LMCE was supposed to recognize the drive and take care of mounting it. If I have to mount the drive myself I can do that but I would rather LMCE take care of it.
