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. (download [32bit i386 from kernel.org] , [choose a version/mirror])
- 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).
UPDATE: If you used the new-installer-006.tar.bz2 or earlier to install, please run the following command to resolve a slight misconfiguration:
sudo sed 's/[^#]*PK_Distro = [0-9]*/PK_Distro = 17/' -i /etc/pluto.conf

General issues
Add software list
- The "Add Software" list is empty, this probably needs to be filled somewhere.
Junk in sources.list
* There are entries for old repositories that keep being added to the sources.list, needs further investigation. works as of 007 posde
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
Black screen when media playing
When playing media with UI2 the screen turns black and the mouse cursor seems to not come up, however I noticed that if you press F7 and click on the screen the menu comes back up and the movie is then visible again.
