The Installation

LMCE 0810 beta2 Installation

  1. Followed the internet installation instructions located here
  2. Upon reboot, I temporarily hooked the monitor to VGA to go through AVWizard
  3. Chose DVI output, 1080p, 60 Hz, OpenGL with Alpha Blending, stereo sound, 100% volume, and hit I Agree
  4. Upon finishing the AVWizard, there was a grey screen with large text displaying each package that was installed
  5. This continued until it got to the Orbiter Regeneration
  6. After the orbiter regeneration, I had the infamous grey screen with a cursor
  7. I used Alt-F2 to get to get to tty2, and logged in
  8. I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file as such:
/etc/network/interfaces
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.200.42
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       gateway 192.168.200.1
    auto eth0:1
    iface eth0:1 inet static
       address 192.168.80.1
       netmask 255.255.255.0
  1. After rebooting, I was greeted with the Setup Wizard which stepped me through the rest of the install process
  2. That's it, after some more big text, MCE started up fine and I was greeted with some Flikr pictures

External Hard Drive

  1. After plugging in the external hard drive, I was asked if I wanted to use it.
  2. After selecting "use without modifying" the drive was set up by MCE
  3. I then went into the web admin > Files & Media > Media Files Sync
  4. Navigated to the hard drive and resynchronized my Movies folder and Music Folder

Configure 5.1 Channel Sound

selecting stereo in the AVWizard does not enable multi-channel analog audio...this is how to fix it
