{{versioninfo|810Status=relevant|810UpdatedDate=8 October 2010|810UpdatedBy=golgoj4}}
==Setting up a chroot environment==
These steps are optional as you can just build on a clean Kubuntu-8.10 install. But required if you want to build using an existing 0810 core without ruining it's run-time database.

Start with becoming root as the following steps will need to be done using super user privileges.
sudo su -

===Create the environment===
apt-get install debootstrap
debootstrap --arch i386 intrepid /media/kubuntu-8.10/

NOTE: Since 8.10 hit end of life, you have to pass the correct mirror parameter in debootstrap in order to retrieve the packages needed...
debootstrap --arch i386 intrepid /media/kubuntu-8.10/" http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

===Steps after each reboot ===
(Note: For First building, perform steps in the '''Getting Started''' section)
====Mount required directories====
mount --bind /dev /media/kubuntu-8.10/dev
mount none /media/kubuntu-8.10/proc -t proc
mount none /media/kubuntu-8.10/dev/pts -t devpts

====Change-root into the environment====
chroot /media/kubuntu-8.10
====Start MySQL Server====
Do not execute the mysql start before doing the sed statement listed in the '''Installing needed packages section''' below to reconfigure MySQL.
/etc/init.d/mysql start

===Verify apt's list of repositories===
Make sure ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' (inside the chroot) contains something very similar to:
deb <nowiki>http://</nowiki>''us.archive.ubuntu.com''/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src <nowiki>http://</nowiki>''us.archive.ubuntu.com''/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe
deb <nowiki>http://</nowiki>''us.archive.ubuntu.com''/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src <nowiki>http://</nowiki>''us.archive.ubuntu.com''/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates main restricted universe
deb <nowiki>http://</nowiki>security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main restricted universe
deb-src <nowiki>http://</nowiki>security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main restricted universe
deb <nowiki>http://www.e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/ sid base</nowiki>
deb <nowiki>http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ intrepid beta2</nowiki>
deb <nowiki>http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ 20dev_ubuntu main</nowiki>
<del>deb <nowiki>http://</nowiki>www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ intrepid release testing</del>

The following line is added to the sources.list during the prepare script and should not be added before. [[User:Posde|posde]]
deb <nowiki>http://</nowiki>debian.slimdevices.com/ stable main

The Avenard repository is no longer used. [[User:L3mce|l3mce]]

<del>Add the Avenard GPG key</del>
apt-get update
apt-get install wget
<del>wget http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ubuntu-repos.key && sudo apt-key add ubuntu-repos.key && rm ubuntu-repos.key</del>

Add the e-tobi.net GPG key
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F7180D26AEDAA642
gpg --export --armor F7180D26AEDAA642 | sudo apt-key add -

===Installing needed packages===
'''Important!''' Perform these also '''after''' chrooting if you are building in a chrooted environment.

If you get messages like ''/usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory'', that meens that $LANG is set. Either clear the LANG or install the needed language pack (english given example given in the code-snip below).

(Leave the root password for MySQL empty.)
apt-get update

# Uncomment either of lines below if needed (see explanation above)
#unset LANG
#apt-get install language-pack-en-base

apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install aptitude openssh-client mysql-server

Reconfigure MySQL to not open a TCP-IP network port: (only needed if you are building in a chrooted environment)
<nowiki>sed 's/^[^#]*bind-address[[:space:]]*=.*$/#&\nskip-networking/' -i /etc/mysql/my.cnf</nowiki>

==Building from source==
For a more in detail description of all the steps involved see [[Building LinuxMCE 0804]]

Currently the focus is on getting the following to work completely.

===Getting started===
You should only have to do this part once initially.

The following steps will require superuser privileges, and it is '''always''' wise to refresh the packages list beforehand.
sudo su -
apt-get update

====Obtaining the build scripts====
apt-get install subversion
svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Ubuntu_Helpers_NoHardcode

====Installing the build scripts====
cd Ubuntu_Helpers_NoHardcode
./install.sh
cd /usr/local/lmce-build

====Configuring the build scripts====
cat >/etc/lmce-build/builder.custom.conf <<EOF

# Uncomment to avoid DVD build step[s]
do_not_build_sl_dvd="yes"
do_not_build_dl_dvd="yes"

# Uncomment to create fake win32 binaries
win32_create_fake="yes"

# Point to the development sqlCVS server for 0810
sqlcvs_host="schema.linuxmce.org"
EOF

===Preparing for build===

cd /usr/local/lmce-build

The preparation steps one at a time (recommended):
prepare-scripts/install-build-pkgs.sh
prepare-scripts/cd1-prepare.sh
prepare-scripts/cd2-prepare.sh
prepare-scripts/create-diskless-debootstrap.sh
prepare-scripts/import-external-files.sh
prepare-scripts/preseed-build-pkgs.sh

Or, you could do them all in one go with:
./prepare.sh

===Building from source===

cd /usr/local/lmce-build

All the build steps can be executed seperately (recommended at least the first time):
build-scripts/checkout-svn.sh
build-scripts/import-win32bins.sh
build-scripts/build-replacements.sh
build-scripts/build-makerelease.sh
build-scripts/import-databases.sh
build-scripts/build-maindebs.sh
build-scripts/get-closed-source-debs.sh
build-scripts/create-repo.sh
build-scripts/cd1-build.sh
build-scripts/cd2-build.sh

Or the following script will run them all:
./build.sh

== Using the build's output ==
The build.sh script puts all created deb-files under /var/www. Setup a web server to point to that directory.
sudo apt-get install apache2

In the machine, where you want to test the build, follow the instructions on using the alpha build. After the step pre-install-from-repo.sh, go into /etc/apt/sources.list, and replace the deb.linuxmce.org line with
deb <ip-address-of-your-builder> ./
and re-run apt-get update
You will find, that two packages are missing. Get those two packages from the regular repository and put them into the builders /var/www directory

pushd /var/www
wget http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/lmce-alpha2/binary-all/libft-perl_1.0_all.deb
wget http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/lmce-alpha-latest/binary-all/mail-transport-agent_1.0_all.deb
dpkg-scanpackages . >Packages
gzip -c Packages > Packages.gz
popd

Now, on your new or test core, execute another apt-get update, and you are good to go for the mce-install.sh

== Notes ==
If you want to speed up building on a multi-core machine, amend build-scripts/build-maindebs.sh and change the call to MakeRelease to include -j <number of cores>. Before executing the build, copy libresolution.so from an older build to your lib dir, and run ldconfig.

=== Without -j 2 ===
23:36:44 Compiling and building packages
01:42:50 *** STEP: Download closed source debs

Total: roughly 2h 6minutes for compiling

=== With -j 2 ===
13:13:44 Compiling and building packages
14:51:56 *** STEP: Download closed source debs

Total: roughly 1h 38minutes for compiling

Installing 0810

2010-01-02T16:49:08Z

Jondecker76: /* Keeping Up-to-date with updates */

Installing LinuxMCE-0810 is a fairly easy process that involves:
* Installing Kubuntu 8.10
* Updating Kubuntu 8.10
* Installing LinuxMCE-0810 on top of the updated Kubuntu 8.10

Please see below for details on Internet Installation and DVD Installation methods.

==Internet Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' 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 your 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).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
apt-get update
apt-get -y -f dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login.
Open a terminal and run
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
apt-get update
apt-get -y -f dist-upgrade

Once you have done this, you can go to the Desktop and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer and install LinuxMCE-0810 on top of you updated Kubuntu installation.

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh
(You should only have to do this once)

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

== Keeping Up-to-date with updates ==
Once you have installed LinuxMCE-0810, all you need to do to keep up-to-date with the latest and greatest, is run the following from a terminal on the core and each MD:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Note: You should NOT run apt-get dist-upgrade after the initial install, as it can cause several problems, including having different kernel versions on your core and media directors, and the installation of new Kubuntu packages that can break some features!

Only download the i386 version of 8.10 Kubuntu, even if your 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).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login, and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

== Overview ==

Watch over-the-air digital & unencrypted digital cable TV from all computers in your home network

Dual tuners - record/watch multiple channels at once

IR Receiver - use most standard remotes to signal your PC

Compatible With:
* Windows Media Center:
o MCE 2005 (beta).
o Vista MCE 32-bit (beta).
o Vista MCE 64-bit (beta).
* SnapStream BeyondTV (beta)
* SageTV - DVR for Windows.
* MediaPortal - DVR for Windows (beta).
* GB-PVR - DVR for Windows (beta).
* MythTV - DVR for Linux.
* Pluto - Home automation & media system.
* VLC - Multi-platform media viewer.

Detailed Specifications:

* 8-VSB (ATSC over-the-air digital HDTV)
* QAM64/256 (unencrypted digital cable TV)
* Dual HDTV Tuners
* IR Receiver (38kHz)
* 100baseTX high speed network

Package Includes:

* Networked Digital HDTV Tuner
* Power supply
* 7' RJ45 Patch Cable

== Configuring ==

If you have your LinuxMCE core configured as your DHCP server, it will detect a new HDHomeRun and prompt you to scan for channels. If you are using Schedules Direct, mythfilldatabase will automatically fill in scheduling data for over-the-air (antenna) inputs. But 99.9% of cable systems do not have the types of channel mappings which MythTV can use to set up listings for you, in that case you will need to manually set the channum and XMLTVID for each channel to match those reported by the Schedules Direct channel editor. The HDHomeRun QAM channel database may be helpful for this step, see [http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/hdhomerun/channels here.]

== Comcast Qam ==
In an effort to automate or semi automate xmlid gathering for QAM stations I have found the following tools and finally have approx 90 qam stations with full XMLID's

I will use this to try to document the process.

The information was gathered form the following links

* http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/408359

You will need.:

* http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20091024.tgz
* http://scte65scan.sourceforge.net/

Download and extract:

* http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=262652
* Under the scte65-0.21 directory extract
* http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20091024.tgz
* http://comcastupdate.googlecode.com/files/comcast_update-0.1.tgz

Edit Makefile and compile:

* In the scte65scan directory Edit Makefile.hdhr:
* Add this line near the top:
* LIBOBJS += $(HDHR_DIR)/hdhomerun_os_posix.o
* And change the LDFLAGS line a few lines down so that it looks like this:
* LDFLAGS += -lpthread -lrt

Download and Compile

* apt-get install libtext-csv-perl
* http://comcastupdate.googlecode.com/files/comcast_update-0.1.tgz

* Run comcast_update --configure
* Run comcast_update

== OTA Program Guide with Schedules Direct ==
Even after setting up my HDHomerun correctly and doing a channel scan, the guide data would never get populated. Running MytTvDailyFillDatabase.sh manually would look normal - like it was downloading guide data - however, my guide would always be empty.
It took a lot of research, but I finally found some instructions that helped my guide data to start working. Here is what to do:
* Make a list of your OTA HD Channels.
* Go to www.zap2it.com and pull up the tv listings for your area code
* view the source for the guide page. You will need to find each of your channels (search for the string "&channel")
* Near the "&channel" for each specific channel you want guide data for, look for "stnNum" and write down the number. Do this for each channel!
* Next, you will have to update your mythconverg.channel database table. For each channel in that table, you will have to enter the appropriate stnNum in the xmlvid column.

The next time the MythTvDailyFillDatase.sh runs, your guide data will now be populated!

LinuxMCE-0810 beta

2009-12-23T03:45:07Z

Jondecker76: /* Upcoming fixes... */

[[Category: Software]]
This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outline any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

The installation instructions found on the alpha2 page still apply:

==Internet Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' 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 your 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).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login, and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

LinuxMCE-0810 beta

2009-12-23T03:44:27Z

Jondecker76: /* Upcoming fixes... */

[[Category: Software]]
This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outline any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

The installation instructions found on the alpha2 page still apply:

==Internet Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' 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 your 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).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login, and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

Floorplan texts

2009-12-19T02:48:09Z

Jondecker76:

== Floorplan Texts ==
Currently, there is a bug in the display of floorplan texts for mapIcons (the small icons you can drag and drop on your floorplan to control devices)

Here is some documentation on the bug:
* The text location set up in HADesigner is not respected when the text is rendered. Text is always rendered at the Upper Left-Hand Corner (ULX) of the parent icon.
* The text bounding box set up in HADesigner is not respected either when test is rendered. Text always starts at the ULX of the parent icon, and wraps with the Icon's image width.

Floorplans icon texts can be unreadable currently, because the text is black - and sometimes the icon is black - making the text unreadable. This bug prevents us from moving the text either to the side, or above or below the icon where it would be readable (and have a cleaner layout). This bug was found because I was trying to move the icon texts BELOW the icons for a cleaner, more readable floorplan display.

In my examples, I am using the java-base QuickDesigner - but this is irrelevant, as I have verified the same behavior in HADesigner. I will be showing modifications to the Thermostat floorplan icon to illustrate the bugs.

First, this screenshot shows the actual floorplan thermostat icon. You can see that the actual image includes a blank area to the right for the text to fit (NOTE: Need to find out if a text's bounding box can be OUTSIDE of the icon image)

[[Image:preview_original_nothinghighlighted.png]]

Here is a screenshot of the stock location of the text's bounding box (highlighted in pink). Text should ONLY be displayed in this bounding box (note that the bounding box is TO THE RIGHT of the thermostat icon. This is where the text should appear!)

[[Image:preview_original.png]]

Here is a screenshot of the page in Designer used to set the size of the bounding box. You can see that originally, it has an offset of 100 (to the right) and a width of 254.

[[Image:texts_original.png]]

Here is a screenshot of how it appears on the orbiter. Notice that the text is not limited to the bounding box, and starts at the ULX of the icon. Both the location and the bounding box that was set up in Designer is being ignored!

[[Image:result_original.png]]

'''First Modification - Making the bounding box wider'''
I used Designer to make the bounding box of the text about twice as wide (so that the text would not wrap, and to see if text can extend beyond the dimensions of the parent image).

As you can see, I modified the width of the bounding box to be 512 - about twice as wide as it originally was!

[[Image:texts_modified.png]]

As would be expected, the preview shows us that we do indeed have a much wider bounding box:

[[Image:preview_modified.png]]

Now, you would expect that with such a wide bounding box there would be plenty of room for the text, and it would not have to wrap to a second line. But as you can see, how it appears in the orbiter:

[[Image:result_modified.png]]

Conclusions from this first round of modifications:
* The bounding box's offset from the parent icon is not preserved and indeed text rendering is always at the ULX of the parent icon.
* I still can't tell if it should be possible to have a text's bounding box outside of the parent image. If the text didn't wrap like expected, it would have proved that text could exist outside of the parent icon's dimensions.

'''Another modification - making the bounding box much narrower'''
In this test, i used designer to make the bounding box much narrower that it was originally. The reason for this test is to see if the bounding box is considered at all for wrapping, or if text wrapping is based on consideration of the parent icon's width.

For this test, I made the bounding box width=125 (about half of the original value)

[[Image:texts_small.png]]

You can see from the preview below, that the new bounding box area is much narrower.

[[Image:small_preview.png]]

I would have expected the text to wrap to at least 3 lines because the bounding box is so narrow. However, as you can see from the image below, the result has not changed at all, and the text still starts at the ULX of the parent icon, and wraps to the parent icon's with.

[[Image:small_result.png]]

Conclusions from this round of modifications:
* It is now apparent that the bounding box set up in Designer is not respected at all, and instead, the text is always started at the parent icon's ULX, and wraps to the width of the image
* I would imagine, that if we were to fix this bug, then text should be able to exist OUTSIDE of the parent icon's dimensions. To do this, the starting position of the text should be equal to the parent icon's ULX + the X and Y of the text (these are offsets). Also, for wrapping purposes, the texts width and height properties shoudl be added to the texts starting position. It would appear that this was never even implemented in the orbiter code.

I would have expected the text to wrap to at least 3 lines because the bounding box is so narrow. However, as you can see from the image below, the result has not changed at all, and the text still starts at the ULX of the parent icon, and wraps to the parent icon's with.
[[Image:small_result.png]]

Conclusions from this round of modifications:
* It is now apparent that the bounding box set up in Designer is not respected at all, and instead, the text is always started at the parent icon's ULX, and wraps to the width of the image
* I would imagine, that if we were to fix this bug, then text should be able to exist OUTSIDE of the parent icon's dimensions. To do this, the starting position of the text should be equal to the parent icon's ULX + the X and Y of the text (these are offsets). Also, for wrapping purposes, the texts width and height properties shoudl be added to the texts starting position. It would appear that this was never even implemented in the orbiter code.

LinuxMCE-0810 beta

2009-12-12T18:05:09Z

Jondecker76: /* Upcoming fixes... */

[[Category: Software]]
This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outline any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

The installation instructions found on the alpha2 page still apply:

==Internet Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 8.10 '''desktop''' 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 your 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).

'''EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IS ON ETH0!''' (For linux Newbies ETH0 is probably the network card on your motherboard...or plug all NICs into a switch that has Internet access)

In other words, after installing Kubuntu:
sudo su - #This might ask for the password you specified earlier during the install of kubuntu.
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-beta2.tar.gz
cd new-installer
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
reboot

==DVD Installation==

However, if you want to install the DVD, grab it via the torrent [http://www.linuxmce.org/index.php/download here].

Upon DVD boot, select LinuxMCE install. This will install a regular Kubuntu 810 system, with an additional button on the desktop to install LinuxMCE upon restart. Let Kubuntu's install run through, and after restart, login, and double click on the LinuxMCE icon. This will run the fullinstall.sh in /root/new-installer

The DVD installer per default does not create the initial MD image, as that creation takes a very long time, and most people probably prefer to give 810 a test, without the MDs. If you want to setup MDs, you have to manually run
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

If you have problems running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh, check [[Error Running Diskless CreateTBZ.sh|this article]].

If you then have problems netbooting your diskless media directors because you are receiving the error message "Diskless Setup Failed", check [[Diskless setup failed error in 0810 beta|this article]].

Ubuntu Server and Webmin NAS File Server

2009-11-28T03:48:34Z

Jondecker76: /* Configuring Your NAS */

== Why a Webmin/*buntu based NAS? ==

There are a lot options to make your own fileserver for use with LinuxMCE. Many people use FreeNAS to set up great little NAS servers for use with LinuxMCE. However, there are several advantages of using Webmin to administer your own NAS fileserver:
*Installs over top of Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu easily. This means that it can run transparently on you Ubuntu desktop computer for example. In my usage, I have installed webmin over a Kubuntu-8.10 computer, which also doubles as my development builder. This isn't possible with FreeNAS.
*FreeNAS throughput has been shown in many tests to have lower throughput than other NAS servers (this includes Ubuntu installtions running Webmin)
*Webmin has a nice, web-based interface to do pretty much anything you need on a Linux server
*Webmin also lets your run other server software easily, such as Apache, MySQL, etc.

== How to Install ==
The first thing you must do, obviously, is decide what you are going to install Webmin on. It will run well on all flavors of Ubuntu. For the lightest installation possible, install webmin on Ubuntu Server.

1)Install your base Ubuntu Server (or preferred flavor of Ubuntu)onto your PC

2) Go to the Webmin website [www.webmin.com] and download the latest .deb installer file.

3) Install the webmin .deb package. If you are using Ubuntu Server and have no GUI, you can do this from the command prompt. For example:
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb

4) Congratulations, you're finished installing Webmin and its now ready to set up!

== Setting Up Your Webmin NAS ==
First, install the software we will need to have a fully functioning NAS server.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server mdadm perl openssl samba

Webmin is a web-based server management system, so you will need access to a web browser on the same network as your new Webmin machine (or a web browser on the Webmin machine its self). YOu will need to know the IP address of your Webmin box.

In your web browser, navigate to <your_ip_address>:10000.

You will be brought to a page explaing that SSL is enabled. Click on the link provided to go to the SSL encrypted management site. It is normal if you get some warnings about teh SSL certificate. Acknowledge the warnings and add an exemption if you would like.

Next you will be brought to a login page. Login with the credentials you used when you installed Ubuntu Server. Once you do, you should be in the Webmin web interface.

== Configuring Your NAS ==
Now its time to add drives, software raid them if you want, etc. I will cover setting up a software raid, and how to share those drives (sharing a single drive is very similar)
*First, on the left pane, navigate to Hardware->Linux RAID if you want to set up a software RAID.
Use the "Create RAID device of level" button in combination with the dropdown to create a software RAID. You will see it appear at the top of the screen. CLick on the new RAID device, and you will be at a screen where you can format the new RAID if you choose.
*Next, we have to mount the disks that you want to store files on (including any RAIDs that you set up. Navigate to System->Disk and Network filesystems.
Use the "Mount" button in combination with the "Type" drowpdown to mount each disk (or RAID) that you want. I personally prefer to mount my devices in /media (my software RAID, /dev/md0 for example, was mounted as /media/md0). But this choice is up to you. Make sure you look the options over well!
*Follow the above steps any time you want to add more drives/RAID arrays in the future.
*The last part is to share the drives/RAID arrays with Samba. Navigate to Servers->Samba Windows File Sharing.
Click on "Create a new file share". Give it a name (I name mine Media 1, Media 2, and so on - but you can name them whatever you want). For "Directory To Share", you just enter the mount point for the drive/RAID array that you set up earlier (in my case, that was /media/md0). Creat with Owner and group fields should be set to "root", and the Available and Browsable radio buttons set to yes. You can now hit the "Create" button. Do this for each drive that you want to make available as a share!
*Drill down to each share that you created. At the bottom of the screen, click on the "Security and Access Control" icon. Use the settings: Writable: Yes, Guest Access: None, Guest Unix User: root and then hit save. Next click on the "File Permissions" icon. Use the following settings and then click save:
New Unix File Mode: 755, New Unix Directory Mode: 755, FOrce Unix User: root, Can Delete Read-Only Files: yes
*Navigate back to the Samba Windows File Sharing main page. At the bottom of the page, use the "Convert Unix users to Samba users" icon to make some samba users from the users on your linux installation. Once you have done that, you can use the "Edit Samba users and passwords" icon to set up the passwords for the users (or require no password at all). These are the usernames/passwords you will need when you tell LinuxMCE about the share!
*Lastly, lets set things up so that the share is not only available to LinuxMCE, but protected from unauthorized use. From the Servers->Samba Windows File Sharing page and click on the Windows Networking icon. Change the "Security" option to "User Level" and save the settings. (this part only needs to be done once)

[http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/NAS] shows you how to add the shares to LMCE if for some reason they don't auto-detect. Remember to add the username and password!

Ubuntu Server and Webmin NAS File Server

2009-11-28T03:42:51Z

== Why a Webmin/*buntu based NAS? ==

There are a lot options to make your own fileserver for use with LinuxMCE. Many people use FreeNAS to set up great little NAS servers for use with LinuxMCE. However, there are several advantages of using Webmin to administer your own NAS fileserver:
*Installs over top of Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu easily. This means that it can run transparently on you Ubuntu desktop computer for example. In my usage, I have installed webmin over a Kubuntu-8.10 computer, which also doubles as my development builder. This isn't possible with FreeNAS.
*FreeNAS throughput has been shown in many tests to have lower throughput than other NAS servers (this includes Ubuntu installtions running Webmin)
*Webmin has a nice, web-based interface to do pretty much anything you need on a Linux server
*Webmin also lets your run other server software easily, such as Apache, MySQL, etc.

== How to Install ==
The first thing you must do, obviously, is decide what you are going to install Webmin on. It will run well on all flavors of Ubuntu. For the lightest installation possible, install webmin on Ubuntu Server.

1)Install your base Ubuntu Server (or preferred flavor of Ubuntu)onto your PC

2) Go to the Webmin website [www.webmin.com] and download the latest .deb installer file.

3) Install the webmin .deb package. If you are using Ubuntu Server and have no GUI, you can do this from the command prompt. For example:
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb

4) Congratulations, you're finished installing Webmin and its now ready to set up!

== Setting Up Your Webmin NAS ==
First, install the software we will need to have a fully functioning NAS server.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server mdadm perl openssl samba

Webmin is a web-based server management system, so you will need access to a web browser on the same network as your new Webmin machine (or a web browser on the Webmin machine its self). YOu will need to know the IP address of your Webmin box.

In your web browser, navigate to <your_ip_address>:10000.
On my installtion for example, this ended up being:
192.168.80.200:10000

You will be brought to a page explaing that SSL is enabled. Click on the link provided to go to the SSL encrypted management site. It is normal if you get some warnings about teh SSL certificate. Acknowledge the warnings and add an exemption if you would like.

Next you will be brought to a login page. Login with the credentials you used when you installed Ubuntu Server. Once you do, you should be in the Webmin web interface.

PadOrbiter

2009-11-25T18:34:06Z

Jondecker76: /* Updating PadOrbiter manually (0810) */

[[Category: Software]]
PadOrbiter is a self contained operating environment based on Debian Testing (Lenny), for the [[WebDT 366]] mobile computing tablet containing a fully functional Orbiter for LinuxMCE 0710.

== The distribution contains: ==

* Base Debian Install
* Xorg 1.4, Containing the Geode display driver, and an input driver for the Penmount DMC9000 touch display surface.
* Ratpoison for Window Management
* The Orbiter software.
* A Nice boot splash, and X splash for bootup and router reloads/orbiter regens.
* A Configuration screen to set network parameters.
* A version of DropBear for ssh and maintenance
* Installs from a USB Flash drive, complete with backup and recovery of existing operating system.

== Demonstration ==

A Demonstration of the PadOrbiter and my WebDT 366 pad is here:

* 1 of 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1080865851585336899&hl=en
* 2 of 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2013509531300772806&hl=en

== Download ==

The Latest version of the Orbiter Image can be obtained here. It should be directly imaged onto a flash stick [[Using dd]] or [[Using Flash Imaging Software for Windows]]

== Programmers Notes ==

Technical information can be found in [[Programmers Notes for PadOrbiter]].

== Updating PadOrbiter manually (0810)==
For those testing the upcoming 0810 release, you may wish to updae youre padorbiter with the latest and greatest. This will detail how to do that.
- First, you must set up a builder to build a recent version of LinuxMCE-0810 (or have access to those binaries)
- Next, since padOrbiter doesn't come with scp installed, you will need a webserver from which you will download the new files from (Luckily, LinuxMCE has a webserver already installed)
- I will assume that you will be using the webserver on your core. ssh to you core.
- perform the following:
sudo mkdir /var/www/download

- Orbiter must be specially build for padOrbiter. From your sources (/var/www/lmce-build/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Orbiter if you are using a 0810 builder)
make clean
make -f Makefile_padorbiter all
strip Orbiter

-place the following new binaries from 0810 into /var/www/download on your core:
Orbiter
libDCECommon.so
libPlutoUtils.so
libSDL_Helpers.so
libSerializeClass.so

-Next, you will have to ssh into a running padorbiter (you will need to know the IP address)
ssh root@<padorbiter_ip_address>

(password is root)

cd /usr/pluto/bin
rm Orbiter
wget 192.168.80.1/download/Orbier
chmod 755 Orbiter

cd /usr/pluto/lib
rm *
wget 192.168.80.1/download/libDCECommon.so
wget 192.168.80.1/download/libPlutoUtils.so
wget 192.168.80.1/download/libSDL_Helpers.so
wget 192.168.80.1/download/libSerializeClass.so
chmod 755 *

- Because of the very limited memory of the padOrbiter, you may find that during any of these steps, you will get an error that the padorbiter is out of memory, and couldn't complete one of the downloads. You can free up some space by doing the commands below, and re-attempting the download:
cd /temp/cache
rm -r *

Once you are finished, reboot your padorbiter and all should be well!
