M3N78-EM new-installer-alpha-latest - UPDATE

[Lexje]

Hi everyone,

First of all a great thank you to each of you who make this possible and for all the hard work in getting to 8.10!!
I'm running a test install on an Asus M3N78-EM.
First installed Kubuntu 8.10 and installed all upgrades automagically.
Next installed the latest nvida stock driver (180.29)
Running: Linux dcerouter 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Next followed these instructions: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2
However running the 3 commands I run into problems with
sudo ./mce-install.sh
It produced following error:

Code: [Select]

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-dcerouter: PreDepends: fuppes but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

ERROR : Failed to install and configure the base software
What can I do to remedy this error?
Also, is it okay to rerun the 3 scripts again? (./pre-install-from-repo.sh, ./mce-install.sh, ./post-install.sh)

Thanks for your input,

Erwin

i've just removed the fuppes dependency from the DCErouter package. There should be a new package available soon.

best regards,
Hari

Hari,

Thanks for the update.
Any view on time lapse?
Should I retry in the morning, or is there a way I can check that the new package is available?

Thanks a lot for your great work,

Erwin

Zaerc, thanks for the update, and KUDOS for the great work!
I just reran the setup scripts and all seems to have gone well.

I've changed the Subject of this post, as the previous problem is non-existent now.
As I have had quite some trouble in testing with this mobo, I changed the subject title accordingly. This may be of interest to people using or buying this mobo.

A couple of things I noticed:
- I have 2 nics (one onboard, and one USB LN030)
However, 2 IP's are assigned to the onboard, and a 3rd IP is assigned to the USB-NIC, dhcp is not enabled by default.
I want to try to have the outbound IP assigned to the USB-NIC (as this is only 100Mbit)
Could this have something to do with the USB-NIC registering later?

Question:
The onscreen orbiter is not started (default) - I end up with KDE on screen
I'v searched around a bit and read that the LMCE launch manager is not around anymore / yet.
How do I launch the Orbiter?

Thanks a lot!

Right Guys, here's a short update:
- last night did a fresh install following on the missing package fuppes and consequent issues.
- fresh install Kubuntu 8.10
- installed nvidia 180.29 driver, as a consequence sound works out of the box (analog, did not test digital yet)
- installed alpha-latest - install ran without a glitch - congrats!!
- AVwizard runs out of the box after install
- dvb-c Technisat does not get recognized / registered (will look into later)
- usbuirt does not get recognized (2 different types)

play, stop, ffwd en frev don't work.
- discovered a nice button in pluto-admin to switch network interfaces!! Wow! Was that there already?
- samba network shares (public in /home/public) are not visible, and cannot be connected to from WinXP box
- NFS lists a lot of shares, but I can't browse them (I have NFS installed on my XP box)
- Sarah / Wizard
software list is empty / black,
can't install w32codecs, libdvdcss2 (installed these manually)
can't install hd-bd-ripping-tools (did not find how to install manually)
received erroneous  detection message: DCS-5300G(D-Link) (have no such equipment... don't know what has been detected instead, perhaps one of the usb IR receivers?

If you need any more details - just ask.

Question:
Can VDR and Myth be installed both?
If yes, I'll do more testing with one of my Hauppauge 150's and with my dvb-c Satelco
Question:
Where can I find the messages that pluto prints on the Orbiter screen?
Most of the times they're gone before I can take note...

Thanks for the good work!!
