Currently (as of Feb 2009), the team is working hard on LinuxMCE-0810-Alpha2.

The current alpha is available for download. Anyone wishing to do so, however, should understand that alpha-releases are a work in progress to be used by those who are willing to test a system and provide feedback to the team. It should not be used in an environment that you depend on to be reliable.

For more information, see the Alpha1 page at [[LinuxMCE-0810_alpha1]]

The instructions below are expected to remain the same for all alpha releases from Alpha2 onwards.

==Installation==
# Install Kubuntu Intrepid, update it and enable the restricted (video) drivers if needed. ([http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download download Kubuntu 8.10 release])
# Run aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade to get the latest Kubuntu updates.
# Grab the latest installer script from [http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz 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).

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

== Setup Diskless MD ==
# On core from a terminal run sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh
# Boot MD
# Rundiskless setup fails, but the device gets created
# Change md to i386 in webadmin -> rebuild image
# On the core
## Set a password for root on MD
###chroot /usr/pluto/diskless/<##>
### run passwd.... enter password for root
#On MD Switch to a terminal session
## Login to MD as root
## apt-get install nvividia-glx-177
#From core copy valid xorg.conf from etc/X11 to /usr/pluto/diskless/##/etc/X11
# Reboot MD. Now, the AV Wizard should come up
# After the AV Wizard it takes a longer time to launch devices. No not need to reboot.

=== Note ===
If you don't happen to have a running xorg.conf, copy over the existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.pluto-avwizard to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

You have to remove a single line RgbPath from the xorg.conf file, and change the line
driver nv

to
driver nvidia

== Known Problems ==
=== Upgrading pluto-storage-devices ===
If apt-get upgrade does cause problems with pluto-boot-scripts, do the following
dpkg -r --force-all pluto-storage-devices
apt-get install pluto-storage-devices
apt-get upgrade

=== VDR Installation ===
VDR does not yet install a working setup. Follow [[VDR Manual Install]] regarding configuration files.

=== VDR and sqlCVS Update ===
A sqlCVS update will reset the selection from VDR back to MythTV. Re-running the Setup wizard and re-selecting VDR rectifies this glitch.
