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), install pluto-dcerouter and pluto-orbiter again (courtesy of the bootscripts), then run the post-install.sh script once more and reboot.

==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]]

==Confirmed Working==

* DVD identification - Ripping

* CD identification - Ripping

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

==To Do==

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