Hardware
- MacMini 2010 - Model 4,1
- Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.66GHz
- 8GB RAM
- S/PDIF audio
- Teufel Concept E 300 "5.1-Set"
- DVB-S Device: TT-Connect S2 3650CI
- Remote: WII Mote Plus
- External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
- iPad2
- iPhone 3GS
- Cups Printer: Canon IP5300
I used Snapshot LMCE-1004-20120701130826149.iso
Let's go
- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- hit ENTER to run installer
- Wait till it completely bootet…
- Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )
Update grub to enable reboot and graphics
After install boot again from DVD
- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:
mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/ mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/ mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/ chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/
edit
nano -w /etc/default/grub
and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end
e.g.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"
Whats going on ..
- nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
- reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot
To apply the new settings to grub run
update-grub reboot
Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes
auto install NVIDIA 320M
Does work now! THX L3top
Basic Steps to make it work automatically:
Check NVIDIA Card
sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-260 | grep -i Installed sudo lspci -nn | grep VGA Update pciid
sudo update-pciids lspci -nn | grep VGA
Get pciid
lspci -nn | grep -vi "non-vga" | grep "VGA" | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//'
add pciid in nvidia-install.sh. Add it to both lines DRIVER_260_SUPPORTED and VDPAU_REV_C_SUPPORTED
sudo nano -w /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh sudo /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run --uninstall sudo reboot

Kernel update may harm your dvb driver!!!!
If this happend make sure you cleaned your dvb drivers:
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/*
S2API
mkdir 3650 cd 3650 hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin cd s2-liplianin make make install

change CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m to CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=y
in
./3650/s2-liplianin/v4l/.config
Kernel versions earlier than „2.6.32-41-generic“ i used to install the dvb device like described here
Download and copy ngene to /lib/firmware (no idea if it is really needed)
wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_15.fw cp ngene_15.fw /lib/firmware/ wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_18.fw sudo cp ngene_18.fw /lib/firmware
