Some 12 years of Debian experience might be enough to start using LinuxMCE, just not much experience in keeping up wiki's

Assembled the following hardware:
=Hardware=
==core==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620
* RAM:(4GB) OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK
* CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* HD: 3x Samsung EcoGreen F2 EG HD154UI, 1.5TB
* PSU: Nexus NX-5000 R3 530W; nice and silent if only the case fans could also perform that silent.
* Case: Chieftec CA-01B-B-SL, a bit big, but lots of space for air circulation
* TV-card: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000

== Media Director ==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* Case: Silverstone LC17
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215
* CPU Cooler:Scythe Ninja Mini Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* PSU: Nexus Value 430
* Infrared Tranceiver: IguanaIR

==Orbiters==
*Nokia N800
*Nokia N810

=Issues encountered=
It is pretty modern hardware in comparison with Kubuntu-Intrepid, so I suspect some mods and tweaks are nessecary to get things running. Would be nice when the LMCE-heroes finish the migration to 10.04 LTS.
==IguanaIR==
First add the IguanaIR repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian source/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-i386/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-amd64/

(Since MCE is 32-bits only, the last line is actually not necessary)
Then go to a clean directory

(for example: sudo mkdir /usr/local/src/Lirc;cd /usr/local/src/Lirc)
And issue
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install iguanair
sudo apt-get build-dep lirc
sudo apt-get -b source lirc

Initially Intrepid suffered from permission issues; somehow root could not read from the proper device, solved this bij setting the UID of the user iguanair equal to 0.0 (making it root).
Subsequently installed LMCE, bt the device was not recognised out-of-the-box by the LMCE installer, need to look further into it another time.

==Kernel: MoBo NIC & GPU ==
The on-board NIC (RTL 8111/8168B) is not supported by Intrepid's native desktop kernel.
The first homebuilt kernels (according to http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu: How To Compile A Kernel - The Ubuntu Way.) got this card running out of the box, but in all my from-scratch kernel configuration attempts, the NVIDIA kernel driver was broken.

I then copied the config of the correct operational Maverick Meerkat distribution kernel 2.6.35.4 to the source of the ditto kernel and forged a new kernel package from that.

The NIC is supported (easy) and the compiled NVIDIA (v260.19.12) kernel driver appears to be loadable. Upon MCE -installation I suppose this will be automagically replaced by the nvidia distribution package.

==installation MCE alpha-2==
*2010 07 29: installation of current mce 810. Screwed thing up with grub and NVIDIA drivers.

*2010 11 09 : Reinstalled Intrepid, its sources have been removed from Ubuntu's main site, need to use the archives:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security main restricted universe multiverse

Some repo's appear to be missing, fortunatly someone posted the following at the forum:
deb http://fastspeedtest.net/mirrors/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://fastspeedtest.net/mirrors/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted universe multiverse

Talk:VPN

2010-11-28T12:45:07Z

Chrysemys: request for information

errr

"Download the patches and vpn package"

From what location, I might ask?

A link to another wiki which tells more about patches and their location, or a link to the location itself?

regards, Hans

Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive
(http://www.club3d.nl/products/products_ending_page_7_with_id.cfm?product_id=109 )

Hardware:
* 512 MB (I think)
* PCI-e
* Passive Cooling

Connections:
* 1x VGA
* 1x DVI
* 1x Audio

Works with nv driver in Intrepid.

Having some problem getting it running with a custom built kernel, but with a kernel config from Maverick-Meerkat and kernel built at the system itself (http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu) a loadable kernel module is produced.

Further work in progress.

Some 12 years of Debian experience might be enough to start useng LinuxMCE, just not much experience in editing wiki's

Started this project recently and assembled the following hardware:
=Hardware=
==core==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620
* RAM:(4GB) OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK
* CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* HD: 3x Samsung EcoGreen F2 EG HD154UI, 1.5TB
* PSU: Nexus NX-5000 R3 530W; nice and silent if only the case fans could also perform that silent.
* Case: Chieftec CA-01B-B-SL, a bit big, but lots of space for air circulation
* TV-card: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000

== Media Director ==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* Case: Silverstone LC17
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215
* CPU Cooler:Scythe Ninja Mini Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* PSU: Nexus Value 430
* Infrared Tranceiver: IguanaIR

==Orbiters==
*Nokia N800
*Nokia N810

=Issues encountered=
It is pretty modern hardware in comparison with Kubuntu-Intrepid, so I suspect some mods and tweaks are nessecary to get things running.
==IguanaIR==
First add the IguanaIR repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian source/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-i386/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-amd64/

(Since MCE is 32-bits only, the last line is actually not necessary)
Then go to a clean directory

(for example: sudo mkdir /usr/local/src/Lirc;cd /usr/local/src/Lirc)
And issue
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install iguanair
sudo apt-get build-dep lirc
sudo apt-get -b source lirc

==Kernel: MoBo NIC & GPU ==
The on-board NIC (RTL 8111/8168B) is not supported by Intrepid's native desktop kernel.
The first homebuilt kernels (according to http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu: How To Compile A Kernel - The Ubuntu Way.) got this card running out of the box, but in all my from-scratch kernel configuration attempts, the NVIDIA kernel driver was broken.

I then copied the config of the correct operational Maverick Meerkat distribution kernel 2.6.35.4 to the source of the ditto kernel and forged a new kernel package from that.

The NIC is supported (easy) and the compiled NVIDIA (v260.19.12) kernel driver appears to be loadable. Upon MCE -installation I suppose this will be automagically replaced by the nvidia distribution package.

==installation MCE alpha-2==
*2010 07 29: installation of current mce 810. Screwed thing up with grub and NVIDIA drivers.

*2010 11 09 : Reinstalled Intrepid, its sources have been removed from Ubuntu's main site, need to use the archives:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Some 12 years of Debian experience might be enough to start useng LinuxMCE, just not much experience in editing wiki's

Started this project recently and assembled the following hardware:
=Hardware=
==core==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620
* RAM:(4GB) OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK
* CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* HD: 3x Samsung EcoGreen F2 EG HD154UI, 1.5TB
* PSU: Nexus NX-5000 R3 530W; nice and silent if only the case fans could also perform that silent.
* Case: Chieftec CA-01B-B-SL, a bit big, but lots of space for air circulation
* TV-card: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000

== Media Director ==
*MoBo: MSI 770-C45
* Case: Silverstone LC17
* CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215
* CPU Cooler:Scythe Ninja Mini Rev. B
* GPU: Club3D 9400GT HDMI Passive.
* PSU: Nexus Value 430
* Infrared Tranceiver: IguanaIR

==Orbiters==
*Nokia N800
*Nokia N810

=Issues encountered=
It is pretty modern hardware in comparison with Kubuntu-Intrepid, so I suspect some mods and tweaks are nessecary to get things running.
==IguanaIR==
First add the IguanaIR repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian source/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-i386/
deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-amd64/

(Since MCE is 32-bits only, the last line is actually not necessary)
Then go to a clean directory

(for example: sudo mkdir /usr/local/src/Lirc;cd /usr/local/src/Lirc)
And issue
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install iguanair
sudo apt-get build-dep lirc
sudo apt-get -b source lirc

==Kernel: MoBo NIC & GPU ==
The on-board NIC (RTL 8111/8168B) is not supported by Intrepid's native desktop kernel.
