Hey all, I was just curious what's going on with the LinuxMCE UI. I noticed that there's talk of working on a UI3. Has the decision been made to scratch working with the plasma developers? Not a crucial issue at all to me either way, but I'd love to see the project continue to grow and I think an improved UI would go a long way. Any info is definitely appreciated. -Conrad*** * sven waeyenbergh wrote: > Dear list, > > with the latest (beta) version of linuxmce supporting amd64, i have > started a project to run linuxmce inside a xen virtual system. > I have been running a mythtv in a xen with 2 ivtv cards exported to > the domain.

Dear list, with the latest (beta) version of linuxmce supporting amd64, i have started a project to run linuxmce inside a xen virtual system. I have been running a mythtv in a xen with 2 ivtv cards exported to the domain. This works for daily usage. I have the new linuxmce domain now in a state that it is able to boot, but since i'm running in paravirtual mode, i have no real videocard in the domain. As a result, the AV wizard cannot run (x cannot start) I was wasting some time trying to get this to work in a vncserver, but remembered that it might not be needed. I intend to connect at least some mediadirectors and orbiters to this system and should be able to do all gui things from there, i don't need a graphical system on the core. At least that is what i'm hoping. - Can anyone confirm that the initial X is needed or not on the core ? can i have a non-graphical core ? - I can reach the admin website, so i should be able to do all config via there, correct ? - Is there maybe an easy way to change linuxmce to use a vncserver instead of starting a local X ? Thanks, Ban |

I can just say, some ppl need to go an other road and needs flexibility. I don't mind a prepacked solution but I don't like to be forced using all of it. Would be nice to ba able to turn things on and of and be able to tell LinuxMCE where to find the services when they aren't run on the core. I feel that the only way for me to go to be able to use LinuxMCE is to put it on it's own DMZ. It can play it's network circus there and the rest of my machines won't be bothered about it. LinuxMCE is THE media center but it, sadly, sucks when it comes to flexibility.

For my case, the router is a Geode/233 MHz with 128MB RAM and 256MB "hard drive." It's very low-power (4W wall-wart IIRC), and it and my cable modem can run for many hours on their UPS. The description of the Core software makes it pretty clear that my firewall would be a tad underpowered for that purpose. I have an NFSv4 and Samba enabled file server, with about 1TB of storage in hardware raid, with a ~1300 MHz processor and a good chunk of RAM. The slow processor there makes me think Core wouldn't be too happy with that machine. I'm also planning on re-building that machine to Solaris 10 soon, and I'm guessing that LinuxMCE doesn't run on Solaris. The machine I'd like to run the Core on would by my gf's development machine, which is a Core Duo (4600?) with gigE, lots of memory, and a small-ish hard drive. All files would be stored on the file server, so that shouldn't be an issue, but the dev server does not serve dhcp; it has to reboot sometimes, and I just really like having my firewall do dhcp. So... Is there a way to have my firewall send its dhcpd logs to the Core software so that it thinks it has a dhcpd server running, or do you run a modified dhcpd that communicates directly with the Core software? |

Well, mainly because I have already setup those and they are running and working fully configured. Installing it in LinuxMCE would force me to move all my existing databases, change all running applications so that they use the "new" syql server isntead. Same thing with Asterisk, change config in all phones, reconfigure all asterisk tweaks... And, as said, mysql server has tweaked hardware for that and I dont want to have TV-cards in that machine... Separation can be a good thing ;o) On Fri, 2007-11-09 at 12:57 -0500, Thom Cherryhomes wrote: > guys... > > why do some of you try to make this stuff 50,000 times harder than it > ever should be? > > why don't you make the asterisk, mysql, dhcp/firewall servers you're > using, the CORE.. install a core only installation on that > machine....and use media directors where you want the HTPC > functionality? > > -Thom > > > On Nov 9, 2007 12:53 PM, Peter Österberg <pe...@su...> wrote: > > > > I have the same "problem"... > > > > > > I already have firewall/dhcp, mysql, and asterisk running that I want to > > continue using.

I love seeing people post to this list, it gets me excited that LinuxMCE is growing. I'm really looking forward to getting some time to set LinuxMCE up (hopefully in the near future). I was just curious what those of you who have it up and running think about it so far. Any and all feedback is appreciated!!

guys... why do some of you try to make this stuff 50,000 times harder than it ever should be? why don't you make the asterisk, mysql, dhcp/firewall servers you're using, the CORE.. install a core only installation on that machine....and use media directors where you want the HTPC functionality? -Thom On Nov 9, 2007 12:53 PM, Peter =D6sterberg <pe...@su...> wrote: > > I have the same "problem"... > > > I already have firewall/dhcp, mysql, and asterisk running that I want to > continue using.

I have the same "problem"...
I already have firewall/dhcp, mysql, and asterisk running that I
want to continue using. I am planning to set up linuxmce on it's
own physical dmz to prevent it from interferring with the rest
of my computers, especially dhcp...
Mysql bugs me a bit since I dont want to run a heavy server
program on a htpc when I already have a really nice hardware
setup for mysql. It would really nice to use that db server
instead, I guess that it would also provide better performance.
Being able to tweak those things is more or less the only thing
that I think LinuxMCE prevents me from doing...

I already have a very nice firewall with a very secure customized setup that I'd like to continue to use, but I'm very interested in also having a LinuxMCE setup in my home. For MCE's dhcp-serving needs, would it be sufficient to just use the MCE Core as a syslog-ng log collector for my router, and have all the firewall's dhcpd messages be sent to the Core for logfile parsing there, or do you actually have a modified dhcpd that you use for device configuration? |

I've already posted this to the forum, but so far nobody's replied to it. During the install, after I get to the install messages box, everything goes fine until it gets to installing slimdevices-slim-server_1%3a6.2.2-2_i386.deb': and then everything stops. No mouse, keyboard doesn't respond and the CapsLock and ScrollLock LEDs on the keyboard flash constantly. In the install docs it mentions that sometimes the system will appear to stop and start and the updates could take a long time, but I left it for an hour and nothing changed. Do I just exercise more patience or what? Any ideas would be gratefully accepted. Matt |

Try the DVD installer. It gives you both the Kubuntu and Linuxmce packages on one disk. It was fast and easy to install, at least in my case.

Hello All, I'm new to the list, I just began installing linux mce, when asked for the kubuntu live cd, I inserted the cd, and was given a message stating "failed to cache kubuntu live cd" I know the cd is good because I used it to load kubuntu today as well. I did a search on the net and I found one other person reporting this same issue, but there was no solution. Can anyone help? Thanks Sacha |

I have cross-posted this to the Developers forum, as well. note: this thread is intended to instigate discussion, and to try to generate a plan of attack. I am noticing something _very_ disturbing here, that I feel must be dealt with especially given the relatively young age of this fork of the project. LinuxMCE developers (both present and future) have inherited a very large code base from a developer who took a very straightforward (from their perspective) approach to putting together a device agnostic messaging system and a drawing-independent user interface system for the purpose of home control and the delivery of media. Notice, I said, from their perspective. This is very important, because for a lot of us, we came here at the viewing of the LinuxMCE demo videos. They _are_ very intoxicating, and do serve to generate a ton of excitement. And after those of us who do manage to get the system built, and running, a lot of us immediately see something, as developers, that we want to work on... now what? we start digging into the system, and find that a great big part of it is still very black-boxed, not in the sense that we can't see it and mess with it, but in the sense that there are a great number of moving parts, all working like a swiss watch, to ensure that this system DOES run like an appliance. And some of us do manage to understand bits of the system and realise just how clever parts of it really are. Assuming we get past all of this, and we see things we want to improve, what are our options? We have some reference material on both the LinuxMCE and Plutohome.com wiki sites, which relate to programmer material. However, this material is still very sparse once you actually read through it. It becomes very difficult to get a systems-level overview to figure out which direction you need to go in, to modify, or augment a particular feature. It seems that Plutohome never got around to writing stuff down that their programming staff obviously knew, and this is understandable, they make their money doing custom development, and I am not knocking anything done up to this point. We need to figure out, as a community, what to do next. * Can we coordinate with Pluto to get the missing pieces of programming information? if not, we need to do a full audit of the code-base. * We need to get the missing tools built and accessible, they do exist in SVN, but they need to be brought out in a form that can easily be installed and used. This includes the Designer and the DCEGen tools. * Skin development/refinement. We need lots of polishing work done on the user interface, although again, information on this process is limited, what are all our options herE? * Device driver stuff. This one is pretty obvious, and it will get done, but we need to get a library of knowledge established to allow motivated developers to fill in more hardware support. again, obvious, duh, but it does need to be on this list. I have a fairly complete media-centric set-up (complete with an XL1B jukebox), and will slowly be folding in home automation. But, there are various things I keep noticing, that I want desperately to work on, but I am finding more and more, there are missing tools and pieces which, while they don't stop development for me entirely, do impede it significantly. Just my thoughts, what do you all think? -Thom |

Hi, I have just order by DVD :-) Vista has annoyed me one too many times!! I am assuming I can also use the system as a standard PC? That is browse the web, read files, ... I am also considering running a web server on it - is that possible I think I recall reading it comes installed with Apache - is this the case? Can I run Banshee on this system? Does any use Banshee? - comments? |

Hi, I have just installed L MCE but my usb remote http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=065, microsofts new version was not recognized. Is there a way to recognise this ? I looked on LIRC project and it was not listed as a supported device. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Paul. |

Hi All, Two people in the space of one day mentioned Linux MCE to me so I thought I'd better take a look. I don't yet know much about it except that it's a fork of Pluto Home ported to run on an Ubuntu base. As an Ubuntu user interested in Home Automation I'm very interested in this project. I want to ask about licensing because something that put me off Pluto Home as a developer was that certain key components of the project were licensed under Pluto's own license which had certain "non-commercial" clauses which made it non-free software (no freedom for commercial use). Have these licensing issues been resolved or even noticed and are they a problem any more? I'm very interested in playing with Linux MCE and perhaps hacking on the web interface. Keep up the good work! Ben -- Ben Francis http://tola.me.uk |

I followed all instructions as mentioned.. but failed to load LMCE. 1. Ubuntu 6.1 - OK 2. LMCE install - OK 3. Configure - OK 4. When I start LMCE from gnome menu.. first time, it took a while and after going thru all setup, it gave me a gray colored screen with mouse pointer ONLY. I tried ctrl+alt+f7.. came back to gnome.. fine 5. tried ctrl+alt+f11 then I got black screen (like linux without X) with a cursor on top... nothing else. Now can I cant go anywhere.. I had to power off by switch. 6. repeated all steps.. same.. over and over again. My graphics card is ATI mobility radeon x300 in a centrino laptop. How do I setup LMCE again ? I know its painful.. but I can give another try. I chose 1280x800 resolution as this is what I use in ubuntu and windows. Please help. |

I will make the packages! We just need a svn server to work with svn-buildpackage. I don't have much time to dedicate on this but... I will do my best! Regards!

What is your question? > Well, I see in LinuxMCE install procedure I must download a package mce -installer for Ubuntu 6.10 and follow its instructions... But I think is more standard add a line (for example: deb http://www.linuxmce.com/ubuntu edgy main) to sources.list, do an "aptitude update;aptitude install linuxmce", and this it enough to have entire solution up and running, instead of downloading mce-installer. Even mce-installer can be like a build-essential meta-package. What do you think?! You know what I mean?! ( my english... uuurgh... :-P ) Thiago |
