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

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

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

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/*

S2API

 mkdir 3650
 cd 3650
 hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
 cd s2-liplianin
 make
 make install

FIX 

 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)
