Bdfoster:

Hello, welcome to the User page of Bdfoster!

Here, I will be posting my setup, thoughts, and other random junk that I come across, all LMCE related.

'''
=Setup=
'''
==Hybrid==
*Motherboard: ASUS M3N78-EM AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD
*Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core black edition
*RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
*Extra NIC: Intel PWLA8391GT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter
*HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
*FDD: SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5" Model MPF920 Black
*DVD Drive: LG Black 2MB Cache SATA
*Display: Hitachi 32" LCD Television, International Version, RS-232
*(Planned) TV Tuner: Hauppauge PVR-500 Dual-Tuner NTSC
*Set top box: Scientific Atlanta AFN Satellite Decoder

==Media Director 1 (Planned)==
*Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD
*Processor: TBD
*RAM: TBD
*HDD: TBD if any
*DVD Drive: LG Black 2MB Cache SATA
*Display: TBD

==Network==
*NETGEAR GS108 10/100/1000Mbps ProSafe Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch
*NETGEAR WPN824v2 RangeMax MIMO Wireless Router (used as access point)

==Telecom==
*X100p FXO Card
*Linksys SPA-921 Corded VoIP Phone
**Linksys WBP54G Wireless Dongle
*Cisco 7920 Wireless-G VoIP Phone
*X-Lite on bdfoster's laptop
** HP Pavilion dv6436nr
*X-Lite on bdfoster's wife's laptop
**HP Touchsmart tx2z

''Presently using Alpha7''

= Projects/To-Do List =

==Telecom==
*Setup Cisco Wireless Phone
*Setup x100p FXO Card
*Get wake-up calls to work for me

==Security==
*Find some good wireless Z-Wave Motion Sensors, battery powered.

==Network==
*Need to find another Access Point to set up for outside, stronger signal inside

==Irrigation==
Make a poor man's sprinkler system using Z-Wave:
*Be able to use on 120/220 volt (transformer is fine)
*Be able to use on 50/60hz (going to be tough)
*Modular, to be able to pick it up and go when I move.
*Not able to dig up yard, so I can't do that

So, here is what I have so far:
*Intermatic HomeSettings Outdoor Z-Wave Appliance Module ($25)
*Honeywell AT140A1042 Universal Mount 24 Volt Transformer ($27)
*Nelson Solenoid 7962 ($11)
*A 5 foot legnth of hose ($5)
*Various fittings ($10)

Going to try and find cheaper parts, but this is a good start I believe.

==Core/Hybrid==
*Setup RS-232 on Display
*Setup RS-232 on Sat. Box
*Install TV Tuner Card

LinuxMCE is a media centered [[Linux]] distribution. It's built on the solid foundation laid down by debian and Ubuntu. But with all kinds of goodies for the home of the future, from digital video recorder capabilities and home automation to functioning as a telephone switching hub for your home in lieu of a boring intercom system; all tied together by an advanced messaging infrastructure. While the next release 0810 is almost done and focuses on stability, we're already planning for the next release and '''you''' could contribute to it's direction. We're always looking for developers and maintainers to '''[[Contribute|join the team]]'''.

==Telecom==
*Setup Cisco Wireless Phone
*Setup x100p FXO Card
*Get wake-up calls to work for me

==Security==
*Find some good wireless Z-Wave Motion Sensors, battery powered.

==Network==
*Need to find another Access Point to set up for outside, stronger signal inside

==Irrigation==
Make a poor man's sprinkler system using X10, Z-Wave, or Insteon, and meet the following criteria:
*Be able to use on 120/220 volt (transformer is fine)
*Be able to use on 50/60hz (going to be tough)
*Modular, to be able to pick it up and go when I move.
*Not able to dig up yard, so I can't do that

So, here is what I have so far:
*Intermatic HomeSettings Outdoor Z-Wave Appliance Module ($25)
*Honeywell AT140A1042 Universal Mount 24 Volt Transformer ($27)
*Nelson Solenoid 7962 ($11)
*A 5 foot legnth of hose

Going to try and find cheaper parts, but this is a good start I believe.

Maybe use Wifi, and use a Wifi Bridge maybe? Still looking at the possibilities.

Well, got some stuff done today with the LMCE portion. Got this User Page running, helped some people on IRC, looked for some tuners and some sprinkler stuff, and finally got my telecom stuff running today. I can now get my incoming calls!! I also looked into getting the outside access working, going to have to do some port fowarding on the modem, but it should work. I just don't have the energy to do it tonight. Maybe some time this week.

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany]) '''Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if you system can support 64bit versions.'''
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu and upgrading it etcetera:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot
=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results

=== MythTV ===
Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].

=== Upgrading kernel ===
There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

=== 20090501 (alpha 2.13) ===
There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

| __TOC__
|}

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany])CURRENTLY, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if you system can support 64bit versions.
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu and upgrading it etcetera:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot
=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results

=== MythTV ===
Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].

=== Upgrading kernel ===
There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

=== 20090401 (alpha-2.6) ===
Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.

| __TOC__
|}

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download Kubuntu 8.10 release from one of these: [http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.10/ Northeastern University Mirror, USA], [http://swtsrv.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu-release/kubuntu/8.10/ Mannheim University Mirror, Germany])CURRENTLY, only the 32 bit version is available.
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu here], unpack them and change into the freshly created ''new-installer'' directory.
# Run the following scripts (as root, in order): pre-install-from-repo.sh, mce-install.sh, post-install.sh.
# Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console 8).

In other words, after installing Kubuntu and upgrading it etcetera:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot
=== nVidia Restricted Driver ===
Install the nVidia restricted driver (177) from KDE using the Hardware Manager ''before'' installing LinuxMCE 0810 Alpha for the best results

=== MythTV ===
Remove reference to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list

from terminal
<pre>
sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player
</pre>

Install updated version of pluto-mythtv-plugin

=== Setup Diskless MD ===
Follow the steps from [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1#Setup_Diskless_MD|alpha1]].

=== Upgrading kernel ===
There are issues with the ''fglrx'' driver that are documented in Ubuntu's bug tracking system. If you're experiencing those issues, upgrade the kernel to ''2.6.27-13'' or better. [[Upgrading the Kernel]] has been updated with instructions on doing this.

== Updates ==
Check if there is no junk like references to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or use a package manager on the KDE desktop for more convenience.

To avoid a known problem when upgrading pluto-storage-devices, forcefully remove it before upgrading and let apt fix it:
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Also please note that installing the upgrade of pluto-system-database will OVERWRITE your existing pluto_main database. It is therefore advisable to make a backup first!

Again it is wise to backup your database as there is a new pluto-system-database package, but this one will not overwrite your pluto_main database if it is already installed, it should do an sqlCVS update instead.
Also remove the pluto-storage-devices, hopefully for the last time.
See the previous upgrade [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2#20090301_.28alpha-2.2.29|above]] for details on how to do these things.

The web admin is being moved from pluto-admin to lmce-admin with this build. A redirect has been placed in pluto-admin to redirect to the new web admin URL to help smooth the transition. While every attempt has been made to make this a smooth transition, please be sure to file a trac ticket if you find bugs related to this move so I can get them taken care of - [[User:jondecker76|jondecker76]]

The Asterisk IVR is broken in this release. For those that need to get it working/wish to try out new changes, do the following:
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all
cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo rm generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Asterisk/generate_users_voicemenu.pl?format=raw
sudo chmod 755 generate_users_voicemenu.pl
sudo ./generate_users_voicemenu.pl
Be sure to have the default voice set up in the Text_To_Speech device's device data (its default is the ugly one we're already used to)! I also highly recommend following the instructions located at [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Text_To_Speech] on how to install some better voices, and set the default voice to voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts after you install the better voices (this is the best free voice available ATM). This should all work on next weeks build for those that can wait.. I'm still working on getting the better voices included by default, but need to check on licensing issues first.

=== 20090401 (alpha-2.6) ===
Note: This build will attempt to use Launch Manager to co-ordinate startup and shutdown of devices. While it is not 100% finished, it is working and stable. Please test it out and file any problems against trac ticket #48. Also, please note the following:
I'm not sure on this, but you may have to manually install LM via apt-get
After you upgrade, reboot your core
CLI output of LM can be viewed on tty8 on the core, and tty1 on MD's (alt+ctrl+F8 and alt+ctrl+F1 respectively). You will have to manually switch back to the orbiter on tty7 when finished
CLI output is not yet completely finished, so the top fields will be blank (this is normal for now)
CLI output of the log messages is working however, so please take a peek at them on tty8/tty1 shortly after you hear the 2nd set of beeps on boot up (when the "x" cursor appears on the screen).
You can further test out LM by switching to tty8/tty1 right after doing a router reload and watching the output and comparing it to what you would expect it to be.
LM dos not yet track regen process and report the % done. This should be working in next week's build, however.
If there are problems and/or you wish to restore previous functionality, the original /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh file can be restored from the backup /usr/pluto/bin/startCore.sh._backup, and the LM package removed
LM is not yet properly daemonized. I'm saving this step for last after the socket layer is implemented and we get a client coded.
'''Note:''' All orbiters will likely do a FULL REGEN after this update, and it may appear that your system is hanging because of this. Please give it some time to finish the regen (could take up to an hour on large installs)

With this release, MythTV now takes advantage of storage groups. Do some recordings, and try recording to a few different storage groups.
Please test this out and report any problems such as duplicate attributes appearing in pluto_media, icon image not showing up, recordings failing to record, etc. Also, if you do have problems, try a reboot and see if it fixes the problem, then please let me know if the reboot fixed your problem. - jondecker76

'''POST-BUILD UPDATE:''' A couple of small bugs have been found that will be fixed in next week's build. 1) Some storage groups are missing the leading "/" in the path, causing problems images in mythweb, downloads in the mythweb, etc. 2) Unmounted storage devices were being skipped. This means that you may not have a storage group for some of your devices at some times. I am changing this so that the storage groups are created, and if for some reason it is not available when a recording is set to use the storage group, then the recording will go to the (always present) Default storage group.
For those wanting to fix #1 right now, just edit /usr/pluto/bin/StorageDevices_PlutoDirStructure.sh and add a preceeding slash before the path beginning with 'home/....' on lines 214 and 226. After this modification, MythTV works great in all of the storage groups! (You should do a reboot after making the change)

There are a few more MythTV storage group changes in this build. Please understand that the storage group name changes may throw mythweb out of whack on some old recordings, but this should be minimal. The old "user_*/<storage_device>" naming scheme is replaced with a "<username>:<storage_device>" naming convention. This will appeal to many more users than the user_* convention. Also, there is now support for custom storage groups. You can make your own storage groups now on top of the auto-generated LMCE ones by prepending with "custom:" (for example, you may make a new storage group named "custom:MyDrive", and it will not be removed or overwritten by the scripts that generate the storage groups). One last change is in the "Default" storage group - it no longer points to the drive with most space. This was changed because eventually it would throw mythweb for a loop once the paths changed. I will look into a better way to defaultly record to the drive with most space, most likely using recording profiles.
