Revision as of 20:35, 15 June 2012

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


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

Should work in the new Snapshot 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


Broadcom BCM57765 ethernet tg3-driver install

Download Driver

[1]

Go to dir and install 

 cd tg3-3.116j/
 make
 make install


Edit /etc/network/interfaces, replace address and gateway with yours 

 iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.0.xx
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 192.168.0.xx
     pre-up sysctl -q -e -w  net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1

Restart Network 

 /etc/init.d/networking restart

or (this is recommended by Shell) 

 service networking top
 service networking start
 
 reboot

NOTE: Make sure you disabled DHCP in lmce-admin web interface if you are running LMCE behind a router which is already using DHCP


Public Key Error medibuntu

By making sure that the LinuxMCE is up to date i had trouble doing „apt-get update“.

Error 

 W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org lucid

Fix 

 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2EBC26B60C5A2783


Install TT-connect 3650 S2 DVB receiver

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/*

 mkdir 3650
 cd 3650

./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 Related Links

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1 options ngene one_adapter=0 When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot MythTV

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X Start mythtv-setup

sudo mythtv-setup I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot

Descripton

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

Solution

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...

killall mythbackend mythtvbackend


exit 0 Related Links

mythweb

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost" setenv db_name "mythconverg" setenv db_login "mythtv" setenv db_password "PASSWORD" Can't save settings

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows 

 max_input_vars = 15000;
 [suhosin]
 suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
 suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

CUPS and Airprint

Someone wrote a nice python script to generate a *.service file for avahi

Install required packages 

 sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cups

Download script using git 

 git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git

go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers 

 cd airport-generate/
 python airprint-generate.py
 Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

 cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf 

 sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Add this line 

 # CUPS AIRPRINT
 ServerAlias *

edit /etc/cups/printers.confa and comment out „AllowUser“ line. This allows every computer in the network to print! It was required for Airprint to work because of permission problems 

 #AllowUser USER

restart cups 

 sudo service cups restart
