Wiki / Main page issue
« on: January 27, 2012, 04:06:46 am »
I like the updated look of the wiki, good job.

Under favorites, exemplary setups links to a non existent page (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Categor:User_Setups)

I think it's supposed to go to this one: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Category:User_Setups

I would fix it myself though I don't think I have access, if I do, I don't know how to edit that navigation bar!

Developers / Design Decision - Update and Upgrade System
« on: January 24, 2012, 05:45:56 pm »
All - I'm looking at the code under LMCEUpdate* : http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/Update


It looks like the system was built around the MCE devs providing an xml file, sample here:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<lmce_update>
 <update id="1">
  <description>Update mythtv packages from the Core to work with SchedulesDirect.</description>
  <priority>1</priority>
  <model>LMCE_CORE_1_1</model>
  <file
           URL="http://updates.linuxmce.com/update001.tar"
   action="untar"
   destination="/tmp/update001"
   md5="e9f1cf48cc688bbb223981d0df4e52f1"
   size="413168"
   autoexec="/tmp/update001/install-update.sh"
   />
 </update>

Today I'm thinking we've moved away from this model and are pushing all updates through standard apt processes. At this point do we want to abandon this XML process in favor of being able to upgrade and notify end users through the standard APT process, or do we want to keep going down the XML road?

Is there any reason to run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh more than once?

Installation issues / New 1004 Installer Testing
« on: September 21, 2011, 03:09:11 am »
Hello,

  I've spent some time consolidating the old 810 installer process and updating it to a single script for 1004 as well as making a couple of improvements. The improvements/updates include:

  • A log file is now generated covering the entire installation process: /var/log/LinuxMCE_Setup.log
  • Additional error checking
  • Performs the apt-get and upgrade for you
  • Updated pre-seed for package preferences method
  • Logging output to the user with date/time stamp for each function

  I have had multiple successful VM installs and a few successful physical core installs (the issues I've been running into was more focused on the nVidia X setup post install which have now been corrected for 1004). I'd like for others to test it out before looking at archiving the old process. You can find information on how to use this installer here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_1004

Please let me know if you run into issues or if you don't! If you do hit issues please let me know your sys specs (CPU, Memory and video card).

Known Issues with installation process:
  • None at this time


Thank you!

Developers / Question - MCE Package maintenance as we move rev to rev of kubuntu
« on: September 12, 2011, 12:28:24 am »
  We came across a strategic question this weekend that I wanted to post to the larger audience to think about. The issue is - what are we supposed to be doing (i.e. what is ideal) when a package is dropped from a repo across distribution revisions of Kubuntu? As I was trying to clean up the /etc/apt/sources.list to remove the older repositories placed there by ConfirmDependencies I made a couple of database changes, one of which broke the 1004 install process (specifically I added an entry to the packages table for php-image-graph for lucid so the intrepid repo wouldn't show up in the sources.list file, unfortunately between intrepid and lucid, this package was dropped from the main repository and is installable via PEAR). Granted this specific entry may not be necessary since the only facility (data logger) to leverage this functionality is now installed via the data logger post install plugin script it does bring about a larger question of maintenance as we move from revision to revision in Kubuntu.

As I see we have a few courses of action which have some consquences:

   1. To leave the package defined in the database without the updated distribution (i.e. lucid) which will clutter up the sources.list
   2. To update the packages table to include the lucid distro but point to a dummy package name - this basically means we'd be maintaining this package in the database forever which I can see becoming pretty unmanageable 5 or 6 revisions of Kubuntu down the line.
   3. Update or enhance confirmdependencies that would drop a dependency if the dependency does not have an package defined in the databse equal to the running distro (i.e.  lucid) entry in the packages table. I haven't deep dived on this option, so I'm not certain how hairy updating the logic would be, and I'm also not certain of the downstream impacts this would have (i.e. what functionality would we be losing by making this update)
   4. Rolling up our own package and manage it going forward - depending on the package I'm thinking this could be more of a management nightmare as well.



What do you all think?

« on: January 14, 2011, 08:30:38 pm »
Hello, I'm building a new MD and i've gone through the AVWizard setup and initial setup, the orbiter generates on the OSD though upon the generation I the screen is blank (X loads, though the cursor is idle in the middle). I'm not certain where to go next, here are some of the logs. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Users / *Solved* 810 - Myth Live and recording issue PCHD5500
« on: September 20, 2009, 03:58:21 pm »
Hello,

  I've hit a bit of a wall in troubleshooting an intermittent issue that occurs when I attempt to watch analog signals via the PCHD5500 cards. Essentially recorded shows and livetv affected by this issue will skip about every half second throughout the recording (or consistently throughout the live tv session). To correct it in livetv you just have to change chanels (channel up then channel down). Though I haven't found a workable solution to correct affected recordings. A snippet of the mythbackend.log is below, it seems every time this issue occurs i get the 'Strange error flushing buffer ...' message in the log.

  My questions are: is this something I have messed up in my logical config (setup is here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/User:Murdock)? Is this a defect that needs to be in trac? Am I missing a valuable log that would help correct this issue?

Thank you,

Installation issues / PCHDTV HD5500 - Analog sound quality issues
« on: July 29, 2009, 03:23:11 pm »
All - fyi

Sound quality issues on myth front end??

If you have analog sound related issues, ensure that 48000 is set BOTH at the mythtv-setup-->capture cards--->v4l AND on the myth front end (which seems to default to 32000) to get there, it's in Recording Profiles -> Software Encoders -> LiveTV, then just set up the encoding options, audio is on the second page.

Installation issues / 810 + pchdtv 5500 analog setup - Issues upon initial setup with ALSA driver
« on: July 26, 2009, 05:54:46 pm »
I've noticed that when upgrading to either 1.0.19 or 1.0.20 ALSA driver I receive many 'unknown symbol' errors when upgrading either manually or via the upgrade script (details here: http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/User:Murdock#My_810_Install_Instructions ).

After making multiple changes to different files and the repo i'm now able to see the /dev/dsp1 file and pull analog audio. The issue now is i'm not exactly certain which changes gave me the ability to receive audio.

When able to receive audio through the analog cable, I was on:
.20 of all alsa modules EXCEPT the driver
.17 of the alsa driver

Has anyone been successful in getting rid of the cx88_alsa 'unknown symbol' errors on .19 or .20?

I'll be continuing to work on this and derive exactly what is needed in order to get the /dev/dsp* and the cx88 card to be recognized in /proc/asounds/cards - though any thoughts/assistance would be appreciated.

Developers / Alpha to Beta to GA Code Release strategy
« on: July 20, 2009, 05:22:00 pm »
I'm attempting to get my head around the development and release process. I'm going to throw out a few things and would like someone to comment:

1. Features and issues:
  Features are requested via the TRAC system and validity of features are decided upon by a PRB (priority review board) and are assigned (or dismissed) based on resource availability and whether the change is appropriate based on current release or future (roadmap) releae.

2. Release Strategy:
  Releases (builds) are done on each yearly x.10 release of Kubuntu and GA dates are based upon developer availability and number of issues/features included in the TRAC system.

3. Updates to code:
  If someone wants to correct an issue or correct a feature, this person would need to be plugged into either the PRB or community leader in order to be assigned via the TRAC system and have access to the latest build to update.

4. Testing cycle
  Upon completion of an update, information regarding the update is posted on the wiki to track the changes and a new alpha/beta release is made.


Comments are welcome!

Thank you,
Ryan

Users / DCE Router log - Continuous errors
« on: March 15, 2009, 05:12:05 pm »
Hello,

I have been attempting to understand more of how the LinuxMCE system works at a technical level, documenting and uploading the information to the wiki. I'm struggling with a couple of errors I'm currently encountering in my DCERouter.log that repeat so often it's difficult to spot anything else.

 The errors seem to be centered around the MythTV (which I do not have setup yet, my cable company doesn't release a box has an activated firewire/1394 port), though I have not performed any kind of setup, are these errors expected in the router log? Is there a recommended way to get around these errors or disable the mythtv piece to clean up the log?


Thank you,

Ryan

I have purchased a fiire 12TB and a prestige lite with usb ir transceiver, below is my experience.

Experience was decent. My order was placed Nov 9th and was shipped Nov 24th. All but 1 item was originally shipped (USB IR Transceiver). I engaged support regarding this about and 1 faulty 500GB hard drive on 11/30. The UIRT and hard drive has been replaced as of 12/8.

Installation issues / DCERouter not starting after reboot
« on: December 07, 2008, 07:08:58 pm »
Hello,

  I receive my USB IR Transceiver yesterday, I was going through setting up the AV devices attached to the MD and set up a test media scenario. This morning I rebooted my core and found that I the DCERouter will not start. I've since backed out all configuration changes I've made yesterday and have attempted the solutions recommended by previous posts.

Here's a sample of the dcerouter.log:

  I've searched the previous posts and attempted to disable the mythtv plugin and other plugins, but re-enabled when that did not work. I'm not certain what the issue is, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of a more verbose log or suggest an idea on what the issue may be?


Thank you,

Installation issues / Media upload to core - **Workaround established**
« on: December 01, 2008, 07:18:28 pm »
Hello all,

  The occassional system freeze issues i've been having were traced to NIC card issues, to isolate the problem I ran a few tests.

  1. Shut down LMCE
  2. Shut down all NICs but 1 (eth1)
  3. hard wired this nic with my external network and tested small file copies and large.

  The issue occurs when large file copies (~250MB), the failure occurs between file 2 and file 5 in a series. The problem is a total system freeze that requires a hard boot. My pci bus information and ifconfig info is below. Has anyone run into this in the past?
