I have been playing with a solution to this. The reason this is happening, it seems, is because the airmouse gets locked after sending the f6 or f8 command after the trigger/top middle button and continues to send repeat characters (like holding down a key on a keyboard) until you interrupt that stream. I find this is more likely to happen with a lower charge. This seems to be a problem with the gyro itself. The easy workaround is to first click the opposite button you want, and then immediately click the correct one. (ie volume/lighting is right of the middle button, so click left/right quickly.) I will try and have a permanent solution by tonight which avoids this.

If it is on reload/regen it is most likely the hulu player. There is a workaround for it here... http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9859.0

Just watch the thing reload. The last thing to attempt to load will hang right before that message, and is the culprit.

This is the board http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173797

The network and general setup is textbook. I have a decent core (never gave me any problems with 0710) with a 1TB internal hard disk that does all my storage, no NAS or anything like that. Gigabit network via netgear switch. Everything is running with its default settings, except the board mentioned aboved which as I said in my first post I set the "geforce" and "VPDAU" options in web admin for this MD.

"What is the result of hdparm -Tt <drive media is on, eg sda1>" - what does this do please? What are we looking for here?

As I say, none of these issues with 0710, but I don't think that's relevant as I didn't have this mobo as my MD then. I will say that I think it is to do with the number of videos present - if I filter them, by TV shows for example (not that this is working properly either), it scrolls much more smoothly.

Textbook meaning internet is going directly into the core on eth0 and eth1 goes to a switch which your MD is physically connected to without any other dhcp on eth1 side?

hdparm tests the media cache and buffered read speed. Sort of a benchmark. I had a drive which had DMA issues which effected overall IO that behaved similarly. Took me a while to figure out because in all other aspects the drive seemed just dandy. I am running the little acer revos as MDs on UI2 without issue.

So in my case it would be

Code Select Expand

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

Network/drive screweyness would be where I looked first. I am not an expert here, just trying to help.

Please list details of your setup...

ie, Which ION board/system, core details, network details...

Is data stored on a NAS?

What is the result of hdparm -Tt <drive media is on, eg sda1>

Can you connect to the wifi network on a computer and hit 192.168.80.1? What kind of security are you using (wep, wpa...)?

Does your AP have DHCP turned off so that the system can assign it?

Does the topology look like this?

For the record... while many are looking into an android specific solution... the web orbiter works on it. I strongly recommend using xscope as the browser (free, in marketplace). The pinch and zoom changes everything. You can resize with p&z and flick it into the upper left corner and it will stay that size until you change screens (or tap some buttons). Keyboard works, as does clickpad. Also recommend changing the resolution in orbiter wizard in web admin so it only goes big if you zoom.

It is an inelegant solution, but a fully functional one.

With USB card unplugged, run setup wizard (under advanced). Once plug and play engine is active (according to Sarah) plug in the card and wait. You should get a dialogue from LinuxMCE saying it found the thing and asking if you wish to use it. It will then ask for your schedules direct info. Once fetching is successful (or not) there should be two tuners listed in the next menu (inputs). Go to the next menu (providers) and select tuner 0. Finish out the wizard and run mythtvsetup from the computing menu and go straight to menu 4 and scan for channels.

Got any pci-e open? I put nic's on those.

Hope this helps.

Pull the internal wifi.

That machine doesnt have the balls to be a core/hybrid IMO. Everything glitchy slow choppy at 1080p in my experience... others seem to say it is enough.

Moreover, 7.10 is not going to recognize the internal nic, that whole nvidia forcedeth thing. Those things are kind of a pain to take apart btw... I always feel like I am 1 ppi from snapping something. but removing the wifi will not error anything out.

As memory serves... the way to disable it in the bios has to do with crushing the PCI IDE controller... I can't remember, but I remember it wasn't what I was expecting... but I just pull it and keep it in my never ending pile of stuff I hope will be useful one day.

I haven't had as many issues with the 8.10 installs and the nvidia 8000 series, but on 7.10 this was always how I had to deal with it.

1. DL the nvidia 195.30 beta driver on another machine from here, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.30/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run (you can wget from host... but I like this method because I reinstall a lot, and like having it handy).
2. Rename it because you are lazy. I like NV1953.run
3. Put it on a thumb drive.
4. Start in recovery mode (root terminal)
5. Create a directory and change the permissions to all read write execute. I like...

Code Select Expand

mkdir /mnt/thumb1 and then

Code Select Expand

chmod 777 /mnt/thumb1

6. Plug the thumb in. You will see some linux gook and in there will be a /dev/****  in my case, "/dev/sdg"
7. Mount it.

Code Select Expand

mount -t vfat /dev/sdg /mnt/thumb1

8. Copy the file to the home directory in case you need it again, then unmount and remove the thumb drive.

Code Select Expand

cp /mnt/thumb1/NV1953.run /home/linuxmce
umount /dev/sdg and unplug the thumb.

9. Shell it

Code Select Expand

sh /home/linuxmce/NV1953.run
10. Answer questions correctly... (probably "no" "accept" "yes im sure") then after the install, it will ask you if you want nvidia-xconfig to run. Say no.
11.

Code Select Expand

/usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh
That will probably work... however...
12. If you get another failed to setup x, ctrl alt f1 or f2 and type

Code Select Expand

sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo /usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh

13. Let the wizard try and start, which always fails again...
14. Reboot into root terminal and repeat steps 9-11 exactly.

I don't know why... I only know it works for me on ALL nvidia 8 series.

*** as a side note, if a thumb is FORMATTED from vista, I have never been able to mount it in kubuntu/ubuntu. You can copy to and fro and it will work... but Vista does something weird in formatting. I have no idea what.

Judging by the card, your first DVI must be on-board. Disable the on-board vid (dvi 1) from the bios.

You will be left with 2 dvi and and a vga to work with.

See... I had heard going in I needed 2 and have always run 2 to avoid documented install issues. I guess I can confidently say whoever worked that out, if it is indeed how it works, is brilliant.

Might check this out too... java universe may be the ticket.

Awesome.

Will give you what feedback I can.

Good job!

I have decided to try and write a DCE wrapper for VLC, because in my belief it will fix a number of issues. I am also going to be looking real hard for a solution to asterisk prob.

I tried for many days to get 8.1 rolling during the avenard fiasco, and am still unsuccessful. I will go at that some more later. For now I will be trying to develop for 7.10 and 8.10 concurrently.

So I have set up a dev box and would like to know some info. I have a lot of reading ahead of me, but if someone could help me with a couple of basic "where do i find"s that would be great.

1. I am green to linux. Where do I get avail source code? For instance if I wanted to look at the xine wrapper... where would I find that? Is it even available?

2. I am comfortable in java. I need to learn c++ anyway, have for about 20 years and just never got around to it. Any suggested reading? It is still object oriented... I should be able to get the swing pretty quick.

3. I just found the svn part of the site. How is that managed, I see assignments... but do not know if they are self or admin assigned. Because I am just above useless, should I try and tackle things related to features and not function... as the more experienced guys are more likely to find a quicker solution?

Any rules, tips, suggestions are welcome. I have never developed outside of contract before, so I am new to the community.

The idea was with a virtual adapter serving functions where duality is required. I would think a gb nic could do most of the pushing of a small system.

I am curious if those who know more how the DB calls are made and why think this might be a viable solution and something that would be worthwhile. I would be happy to go at it nothing immediately jumps to mind prohibiting the possibility.
