==What is LinuxMCE?==
[http://LinuxMCE.org LinuxMCE] is the only solution seamlessly combining:
# media & entertainment with a server for music, movies and tv shows, plus a PVR and DVD Player,
# a home automation system to control everything in the home with touch-screen tablet and Bluetooth mobile phone controllers,
# a phone system with video conferencing,
# a security system that feeds you live video on your mobile phone when something happens, and lets you speak to visitors through your stereos, and
# a home PC solution.

A typical LinuxMCE system consists of a '''Core''': one PC acting as a dedicated server and interface with all the sub-components. The Core includes our own plug-and-play back-end so it listens for and auto configures all sorts of devices like network audio players (such as Squeeze Box), IP phones and cameras. The Core automatically exposes a network boot for any other PC's or thin clients you want to use as '''Media Directors''', which you hook up to your TV/Stereo's to use as set top boxes, complete with a media player, PVR, video conferencing, intercom, and a GUI to control everything in the home. All Media Directors work together seamlessly as a total whole-house solution.

In addition to the usual infrared remote controls, LinuxMCE includes remote control software that runs on Symbian Bluetooth mobile phones as well as Linux, Windows and Windows CE devices like webpads and pda's. They all feature cover art, interactive maps and floor plans, and let you control any device in the house. The UI is skinnable and multi-language. The mobile phone has a "follow-me" feature so your media and other settings follow you from room to room. It switches from Bluetooth to cellular gprs/wap when you leave the house you're always in control.

===Software Used by LinuxMCE===

LinuxMCE is often called a platform for developing smart home modules constructed by a variety of open source projects. The integration of these open source projects, such as [http://xinehq.de Xine], [http://www.mythtv.org Mythtv], and [http://www.asterisk.org Asterisk], can be found in the LinuxMCE Software Documentation.

LinuxMCE is a pretty big project. Not counting [[GSD]] devices, LinuxMCE's own code is already well over a million lines in hundreds of modules, with over 1,000 pages of online documentation, and in addition LinuxMCE also incorporates lots of other big open source projects like Asterisk, Xine, MythTV, Firefox, VideoLan, SlimServer, etc., all of which have special LinuxMCE 'wrappers' to allow them to work together seamlessly as a total home solution. For the brave of heart, you can also download [http://LinuxMCE.com/support/index.php?section=mainDownload&package=0 modules by hand], and see all the dependencies and compatibility for each module.

You can browse the [http://linuxmce.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxmce/trunk/ web based repository viewer]. Or you can you do an anonymous svn checkout as follows:

svn co <nowiki>http://</nowiki>linuxmce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/linuxmce/trunk/''modulename''

Known Issues

== Known issues with LinuxMCE 1.0 ==

It is best to install version 1.0 on a separate box, rather than your main Ubuntu system because of the following issues:

* The installer is messing up Ubuntu's xorg.conf file by removing the nvidia driver and replacing it with vesa. This was actually a necessary hack that got forgotten about. There is a bug in the nVidia drivers (it has been reported) that causes them to crash when two X sessions are running and try to open the same card. Using the 'nv' driver on one and the 'nvidia' on the other still doesn't work, but using vesa on one and nvidia on the other does. So the hack changes Ubuntu's xorg.conf from nVidia to Vesa. If you install a dedicated LinuxMCE box this isn't an issue, but it can be a problem when you are a Ubuntu user and want better performance on your Ubuntu desktop than the vesa driver allows.

* The installer will revert the Ubuntu sources.list back to the default, removing any non-standard repositories, when it does the upgrade before installing itself.

* As mentioned in other places, the scripts carried from Pluto were written to be run on a dedicated system and 'take over' completely. It was a huge task just getting LinuxMCE 1.0 out the door, and the Ubuntu integration is still a work in progress and the scripts are still too invasive. If this is a dedicated system, or if you're not a Linux user, this is perhaps still a good thing because you'll never need to touch your configuration files: LinuxMCE will setup the dhcp server, samba network shares, network settings, and so on. But, if you are a Ubuntu user, be warned that it will override some of your settings until we get the Ubuntu integration improved.

Additional issues:

* Most of the problems reported so far are caused by using UI2, which requires OpenGL, on video cards without good Linux OpenGL support. The solution is to use UI1 instead. nVidia 6xxx and higher are preferred and will run UI2 with the 3d effects and alpha blending.

* A bug in the media browser was identified that is causing it to run very slow and consume a lot of memory. A 1.01 patch will be out soon.

* In the haste to release the updated LinuxMCE 1.0 that didn't use the website for downloading the software after the Digg story brought the server down, there was a sloppy error building the package for the Windows binaries. Most of them are empty. This means the Windows orbiter that runs on web pads, pda's and ms smart phones, as well as some other windows applets which are also on the download page in your Core's admin web site, are missing.

* Some of the users reported having broken packages during the installation of LinuxMCE, usually 'pluto-orbiter' package. This could happen from a number of reasons. We have identified a few of them, such as:
- the vim package cannot be installed because of a conflict at 'vim-common'. For details on how to fix that, please follow: [http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Installer_Problems]
- The Ubuntu repositories are sometimes unavailable. You should try reinstalling, or installing the packages by hand

Tech Support

2007-04-02T20:00:56Z

Espace:

It has been reported that there are many installation problems, and that most users do not get the smooth '20 minutes plug and play to setup a whole house media + pvr + automation solution' which is what LinuxMCE promises and should be delivering. So Yahoo and Skype accounts have been setup to provide live and instant tech support via chat and voice. For both Yahoo and Skype the id's are: linuxmce, linuxmce4 and linuxmce5. If one is not online, try the others. It will be manned as much as possible until any common installation issues are identified. '''This is to address installation/setup issues only''', not answer general usage questions or how-to's, which should be directed to the forums.

Thanks in advance to the users who take the time to try LinuxMCE and have the patience to let us diagnose the cause of any failures so the 1.1 release can deliver the 'works the first time' experience to a higher percentage of users, making free, Linux-based home media pc's more accessible. The goal now is to create a database of hardware setups that are known to work, work arounds for issues when possible, and bug reports for any unresolvable issues so users can track when the issues are resolved. Also the installation instructions will be improved to prevent any common causes of user error.

If you've got a really good knowledge of Linux and can analyze syslogs and do general troubleshooting and wish to volunteer, please [[Contacts|Contact Paul]].

== Please, before contacting the Yahoo/Skype account ==

have available the model of your pc and preferably the model of your motherboard, and any graphics, sound and network cards you are using, as well as the chipsets they use, if you have that information. Also let us know which of the following steps worked:

1. Ubuntu 6.10 installed ok 
2. Linux MCE installed ok 
3. You got to the AV Wizard and were able to set your video and audio resolutions 
4. The GUI appeared and you were able to complete the Setup Wizard 
5. Your known-compatible PNP devices, like NAS, etc., were detected.

==What is LinuxMCE?==
[http://LinuxMCE.com LinuxMCE] is the only solution seamlessly combining:
# media & entertainment with a server for music, movies and tv shows, plus a PVR and DVD Player,
# a home automation system to control everything in the home with touch-screen tablet and Bluetooth mobile phone controllers,
# a phone system with video conferencing,
# a security system that feeds you live video on your mobile phone when something happens, and lets you speak to visitors through your stereos, and
# a home PC solution.

A typical LinuxMCE system consists of a '''Core''': one PC acting as a dedicated server and interface with all the sub-components. The Core includes our own plug-and-play back-end so it listens for and auto configures all sorts of devices like network audio players (such as Squeeze Box), IP phones and cameras. The Core automatically exposes a network boot for any other PC's or thin clients you want to use as '''Media Directors''', which you hook up to your TV/Stereo's to use as set top boxes, complete with a media player, PVR, video conferencing, intercom, and a GUI to control everything in the home. All Media Directors work together seamlessly as a total whole-house solution.

In addition to the usual infrared remote controls, LinuxMCE includes remote control software that runs on Symbian Bluetooth mobile phones as well as Linux, Windows and Windows CE devices like webpads and pda's. They all feature cover art, interactive maps and floor plans, and let you control any device in the house. The UI is skinnable and multi-language. The mobile phone has a "follow-me" feature so your media and other settings follow you from room to room. It switches from Bluetooth to cellular gprs/wap when you leave the house you're always in control.
