sorry for the delayed response, went away for few days. media plays fine on core. What happens when trying to play media on a md is I go through the normal steps and select play, upon doing so, it goes to a black screen if its a video file.  If i select a video on UI1 i can bring up the onscreen remote like normal, but it will show a black screen.  at that point, bringing up the onscreen remote is useless to exit media and i have to select home.  As for audio files, after selection it will return to the file menu on the onscreen menu, but will appear to be preparing to play on a windows orbiter.  here is one of the logs.

thanks, yep, but i'm not sure that would effect files stored on my core harddrive?  either way, i can play files fine on the core, just not on the md's.

Thanks fellas, with the help i got from all you and a little more tinkering i've gotten my MD's going and my wireless router going.  Dont mean to be a annoying pr!ck, but i have one last thing to solve. I am able to play all my media, audio and video on the core, all my media show up on the md's, but nothing plays after selecting the media and selecting play. I've tried both md's and no go.  any ideas?

Three things-

1) It seems that all that's ever posted is how people have a lot of problems with LinuxMCE or that XX system is better and offers more.   Judging from your Sep 2009 join date and the problems you're having, I just want you to know that once you get the system up and running it is amazing.  The possibilities and the conversations you will likely have about what your system can do are probably beyond your wildest dreams- at least they were for me.

2) I too was having that 5 second reboot problem- it seems that something happened in one of the latest alphas that caused this... 

I have found that if you run the command:

/usr/pluto/bin/startup-script.sh

on your core- either by directly interacting with your core or- as I have done- from putty on a windoze box, that will fix that error.

3) As for the online issue- my MDs are not able to access the internet (but the core can, as you describe) until I hit the "update" button from the admin pages.  From your post, you're familiar with the admin pages/site- so if you go to "Advanced" -> "Network" -> "Network settings" at the bottom of the page will be a "Update" button next to the "Reset" button.  Click this once and you will probably find you can connect to the internet- I am posting from a computer that I just did the above to get connected.  I think about every time you do a reload or regen of the core you will have to do this.  Just a note- it is vital that you have 2 nics in your core and that eth0 is connected to your WAN and eth1 is connected to your LAN.

HTH

oh no, don't get me wrong at all. I love lmce already. I'm not a complainer, i've just run out of things to try to get things working.  everything connected to my switch is not working, including my wireless router.  i have tried the
/usr/pluto/bin/startup-script.sh which worked to get one md booted, but did not get anything connect to said switch working.  after using
/usr/pluto/bin/startup-script.sh followed by a reboot of the core....it now leads to the boot hanging at "loading lmce" and then black screen, so i had to a reinstall again.

I've been trying to solve the issues i'm having my own, but i obviously need help guys. i will be greatfull for any help because i have sought answers from the wiki and searching the forums. I have reinstalled 8.10 at least 10 times due to various problems.  I am unable to use my wireless router, spa 3102, or boot any MD's.  thus far i have tried connecting an md directly to the core. the md's are not being automatically created and do not show up as devices. i was able to get online on the core, but still tried switching etho interfaces in the admin site. i tried swaping the cables.  i tried removing knetmanager from the core startup.  i tried creating md's because i was still getting to the rebooting in 5 secs post i saw mentioned in another post which prompted me to remove the knetworkmanager.  all of the macs for the devices show up on the admin site.  im lost, i guess its a dchp networking problem  any diagnosis?

  After going into the admin pages, MANUALLY adding a "generic PC as MD" with my mac address and then starting the computer everything was running as usual- through the AVWizard and what not to that screen you just described with the invalid device. 


[/quote]

After doing that, the 810 problem MD works with UI2, it stuck at generating the orbiter, but after a md reboot, it works ok.  It seems as though anytime your reboot the core, that script needs to be run again.  Have you noticed a lag when using any i/o device, whether mouse or keyboard?  i'm getting a two sec lag when move through the UI2 menu.

Well, for anyone following this, I rebooted and it fixed things....  not sure what happened, but a reboot stopped the "orbiter already started" and murcel's fix got the MDs going.

Still don't know anything about the mysql errors.  

And, after reboot/the fix, I was again not able to connect to the internet via computers connected to the internet through the core.  A "update" on the network pages of the admin site fixed this.  So, not sure what's next other than to see of the zwave works.


UPDATE:  Hmm, does this:   

/usr/pluto/bin/startup-script.sh

need to be run before starting each MD?

after running the script one MD installed without a hitch, I did not reboot and tried a second md (ati x800 video card) that i had working in 7.10 but was giving me problems in 8.10. Not sure if it's the board itself or the card...anyway, after a few attempts without rebooting core or running the script again, the second older MD finally booted, went through the normal procedures and ran the av wizard. After getting through the wizard, it started to start the orbiter but came up with a error message stating that the device ## was invalid and it just froze up. After that i have been unable to get that MD to the av wizard again, it just hangs at "configuring network interfaces".

hello,
I have attempted to boot all the MD's which were working prior to a 8.10 reinstall.  After going through to a particular step in the pxe boot.... I receive a message "ERROR: cannot connect to router: rebooting in 5 secs".  I have had no equipment changes since the last install i had working.  I have attempted to connect MD's directly to core ethernet port to ensure switch is in working order.  What log should i dig into or what could be the issue? thank you.

Wow- i thought that it was just me and that when I clicked reboot after the setup it didn't reboot- I had walked away and came back to that same screen.  I can't remember if I signed in and then rebooted, or just rebooted from that login screen, but after a reboot that I watched it went to the normal AVWizard screen.

I figured it had been me clicking log off after the install and not reboot, but after your post I have my doubts.

Curious after you get through your setup if your MDs will connect as they should:  http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8939.0

Huh, you signed into the sambahelper? how?

Users / 8.10 question

« on: September 30, 2009, 07:52:01 pm »

I had 8.10 running but had to do a reinstall.  I had to leave it to install overnight this time. It said it was installed, i rebooted, went through the setup wizard. It went through the usual orbiter boot sequence but it led to a welcome dcerouter login screen  with two choices, 1) pluto samba share helper, sambahelp
              2) normal kde login

was there in error in installation or do i need a password?
