Transforming O2 Joggler to LinuxMCE orbiter
Installing base system
Download and install SqueezeOS
Get SqueezePlay OS for Joggler. You can use either the internal or an external usb stick, however to install additional options you may require running on an external USB stick to have the space.
Using linux
Unzip the download (filename may of course change if new version is released):
gunzip sqpos303_ext.img.gz
Plug in a 2GB (min) USB stick. Find the device name of your USB stick:
sudo fdisk -l
Write the image to your USB stick. ATTENTION: ALL FILES ON YOUR USB STICK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!!
sudo umount /dev/sdX* sudo dd if=sqpos303_ext.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Where sdX is your USB device.
Using OSX
Unzip the download (filename may of course change if new version is released):
gunzip sqpos303_ext.img.gz
Open a Terminal window. Plug in a 2GB (min) USB stick. Find the device name of your USB stick:
sudo diskutil list
Write the image to your USB stick. ATTENTION: ALL FILES ON YOUR USB STICK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!!
sudo umount -f /dev/diskX* sudo dd if=sqpos303_ext.img of=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m
Where rdiskX is your USB device.
Booting/Flashing
Power off your joggler. Insert your newly prepared USB stick to your joggler's external USB port. Depending on the method you choose this will either boot into the SqueezeOS or it will flash the OS to the internal flash memory. If you're flashing the internal memory then read the instructions on screen. When done remove the externel USB stick and let the joggler boot into your newly installed SqueezeOS.
Setup WLAN
If you plan to use WLAN then you better configure it using the SqueezeOS GUI before we disable it in the next steps. Otherwise it will be tricky to set it up later.
SSH
ssh joggler@<your joggler's ip>
password is: joggler
Transform it to Orbiter
Adapt sources.list
SSH to joggler, "sudo su" to root and replace /etc/apt/sources.list with following content:
###### Ubuntu Main Repos deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse ###### Ubuntu Update Repos deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse ##### Joggler PPA deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jools/joggler/ubuntu trusty main #### LinuxMCE repo - main repo and shadow repo deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ trusty main deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ trusty main
Update installation to latest packages
apt-get update
Install LinuxMCE - Full Stack
Install LinuxMCE
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install lmce-disked-mid-joggler -y --allow-unauthenticated --no-install-recommends reboot
squeezelite
A squeezeslave/lite device will be created automatically with the lmce install. The associate squeezebox player should also be created automatically. In the webadmin you will need to set the appropriate entertainment area for the player/slave. Also choose the appropriate output device, default it the 'default' device on which the slave(lite) is installed.
Install LinuxMCE - Minimal Orbiter
Creating device in LinuxMCE
Login to your webadmin. Go to "Orbiter" and add a new device of type "Orbiter". Set the Size to "Nokia770". Choose whatever skin and language you like. Quick reload your core and let it create the Orbiter. If you wish to have the Clock displayed during downtimes then you will need to add a Child Device to this orbiter and choose the "Clock Screen Saver".
Anyway; you have a lot of work to do meanwhile :-) Check your new orbiter's device ID. You will need it below during pluto.conf creation.
Install pre requirements for Orbiter
apt-get install mysql-client libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-sge libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-image1.2 xfwm4 screen liblinphone5 libxcursor1 lmce-clock-screen-saver
Create directory structure
sudo mkdir -p /usr/pluto/bin sudo mkdir -p /usr/pluto/lib sudo mkdir -p /usr/pluto/locks sudo mkdir -p /var/log/pluto sudo chown -R joggler:joggler /usr/pluto sudo chown -R joggler:joggler /var/log/pluto
Copy needed files from your core to your joggler
This step can only be successful IF you run 1404 on your core. Otherwise the binaries and libs must be sourced elsewhere Ask in IRC if you need them.
SSH to joggler if not yet done so. You don't need to become root.
Copy the Orbiter binary and helpers:
cd /usr/pluto/bin scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/SQL_Ops.sh . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/LockUtils.sh . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Utils.sh . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/pluto.func . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Spawn_Device.sh . scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Spawn_Wrapper.sh .
Copy the needed libraries:
cd /usr/pluto/lib scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/lib/* .
Note: you may need to change "dcerouter" to your core's full FQDN or to your core's IP address, depending your local environment.
Modify config files
Tell your system where to find LinuxMCE libraries needed by Orbiter:
sudo echo /usr/pluto/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/LinuxMCE.conf
Create /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh file with following content:
#!/bin/bash . /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null ConfGet "MyOrbiterID" ConfGet "DCERouter" while [ "1" == "1" ] ; do cd /usr/pluto/bin /usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter -r $DCERouter -d $MyOrbiterID sleep 15 done
Change mode:
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh
Replace /home/joggler/.xinitrc file with the following content:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 xset +dpms xset dpms 300 300 300 xfwm4 & if [ -f /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh ]; then /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh& fi if [ -f /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh ]; then /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh else xterm fi
The "xset dpms 300 300 300" line sets the timeout in seconds for your joggler's screen to switch off. Feel free to change to your needs.
Create LinuxMCE configuration
"sudo su" to root and create /etc/pluto.conf with the following content:
MySqlHost = 192.168.80.1 MySqlUser = root MySqlPassword = MySqlDBName = pluto_main DCERouter = 192.168.80.1 MySqlPort = 3306 DCERouterPort = 3450 Display = 0 MyOrbiterID = <ID>
Replace <ID> with the device ID of the orbiter you created above.
Optional Squeezeslave
If you want to playback audio files on your joggler via Logitech Media Server you can add the squeezeslave package:
sudo apt-get install squeezeslave
Create /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh
#!/bin/bash . /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null ConfGet "DCERouter" MAC=$(ifconfig eth0 | grep "HWaddr" | sed 's/.*HWaddr \([:[:xdigit:]]*\).*$/\1/g') while [ "1" = "1" ]; do /usr/bin/squeezeslave -m $MAC $DCERouter done
NOTE: If you are using your Joggler with WiFi, replace "eth0" with "wlan0".
Change mode
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh
If you want your squeezeslave to be a DCE device, meaning that it can be controlled by an Orbiter or my events:
- Go to LinuxMCE webadmin
- Click on "Show device tree"
- Expand CORE
- Click on "Slim Server Streamer"
- Click on "Create child device"
- Enter a description like "Joggler" and enter jogglers IP address and MAC address
- Click on "Pick device template" and choose DT #58
After having finished device installation you need to assign it to a room which does not yet have an MD.
- Click on the LinuxMCE logo in Webadmin (top left)
- Click on "A/V Equipment"
- Search for your new joggler squeezeslave, modify it's room and click the update butom on page bottom.
Quick reload DCERouter, let your orbiters rebuild and enjoy LinuxMCE playing audio on your joggler.
