LinuxMCE-0810-alpha0 is a test release build from the sources available in the LinuxMCE-0810 branch of SVN. It is missing several components of which the sources are not publicly available. The currently available alpha0 (pre-alpha) version is broken in numerous ways.

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. (download [[http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/intrepid/kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso 32bit i386 from kernel.org]] , [[http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download choose a version/mirror]])
# 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).

'''''UPDATE:''''' If you used the ''new-installer-006.tar.bz2'' or earlier to install, please run the following command to resolve a slight misconfiguration:
sudo sed 's/[^#]*PK_Distro = [0-9]*/PK_Distro = 17/' -i /etc/pluto.conf

==Known problems==

Please add all the issues you can find below, and/or add your name to the list of people confirming (simply sign it with <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>).
===General issues===

====Add software list====

* The "Add Software" list is empty, this probably needs to be filled somewhere, see also "workarounds" below.

Confirmed by: [[User:tkmedia|tkmedia]], [[User:Zaerc|Zaerc]]

====Junk in sources.list====

* There are entries for old repositories that keep being added to the sources.list, needs further investigation.

Confirmed by: [[User:tkmedia|tkmedia]], [[User:Zaerc|Zaerc]]

====External Media Identifier====

The External Media Identifier fails to start, this is because it wasn't build as the sources are not available, however it can be installed successfully using the 0710 "id-my-disc_1.8.ub0710_i386.deb" package.

Confirmed by: [[User:tkmedia|tkmedia]]

====Black screen when media playing====

When playing media with UI2 the screen turns black and the mouse cursor seems to not come up, however I noticed that if you press F7 and click on the screen the menu comes back up and the movie is then visible again.

Confirmed by: [[User:Kanadavos|Kanadavos]]

==Confirmed Working==

* DVD identification - Ripping

* CD identification - Ripping

Confirmed by: [[User:tkmedia|tkmedia]]

* ATI Radeon HD3200 & UI2 + Overlay (installed using nothing but the AVwizard)
Confirmed by: [[User:Totallymaxed|Totallymaxed]]

* NVIDIA MX440 & UI2 + Overlay (installed using the AVwizard but had to press 3 to get proper mode)
Confirmed by: [[User:Kanadavos|Kanadavos]]

==To Do==

* <s>Fix bootscripts to '''not''' de-install pluto-dcerouter and pluto-orbiter on first boot.</s> works for me [[User:Posde|posde]] with installer 07
* <s>Patch latest version of lirc that comes with Intreped.</s> [[User:Zaerc|Zaerc]]
* Fix diskless boot for MDs. [[User:Posde|posde]] This is trac ticket #27
* Fix UI2 playback problem. [[User:Posde|posde]] This is trac ticket #28
* Update pluto-mythtv-player to the proper protocol version (''MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 31 but we speak 40!'').
