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.
- Grab the latest installer script from 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), reinstall pluto-dcerouter and pluto-orbiter, then run the post-install.sh script again 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 ~~~).
General issues
Add software list
- The "Add Software" list is empty, this probably needs to be filled somewhere, see also "workarounds" below.
Junk in sources.list
- There are entries for old repositories that keep being added to the sources.list, needs further investigation.
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: tkmedia
Confirmed Working
- DVD identification - Ripping
- CD identification - Ripping
Confirmed by: tkmedia
To Do
- Fix bootscripts to not de-install pluto-dcerouter and pluto-orbiter on first boot.
- Patch latest version of lirc that comes with Intreped.
- 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!).
