The Installation
LMCE 0810 beta2 Installation
- Followed the internet installation instructions located here
- Upon reboot, I temporarily hooked the monitor to VGA to go through AVWizard
- Chose DVI output, 1080p, 60 Hz, OpenGL with Alpha Blending, stereo sound, 100% volume, and hit I Agree
- Upon finishing the AVWizard, there was a grey screen with large text displaying each package that was installed
- This continued until it got to the Orbiter Regeneration
- After the orbiter regeneration, I had the infamous grey screen with a cursor
- I used Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to get to tty2, and logged in
- I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file as such:
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
- After rebooting, I was greeted with the Setup Wizard which stepped me through the rest of the install process
- That's it, after some more big text, MCE started up fine and I was greeted with some Flikr pictures
External Hard Drive
- After plugging in the external hard drive, I was asked if I wanted to use it.
- After selecting "use without modifying" the drive was set up by MCE
- I then went into the web admin > Files & Media > Media Files Sync
- 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
- Web Admin > Wizard > Devices> Media Directors
- At the bottom of the media director device settings, change the "Audio Settings" Drop-Down menu to "Multi-channel analog"
- Open terminal and run 'sudo alsamixer'
- In alsamixer, use the arrow keys and 'M' to unmute and adjust the volume of surround, center, and LFE (side if you have 7.1)
Auto-start KDE desktop behind MCE on boot
Edit /etc/init.d/linuxmce to contain
- StartService "KDE Desktop" "/usr/pluto/bin/Start_KDE.sh"
after starting the the other services (I don't know if it matters where this line goes in this script)
X10 interface and lighting setup
- Plugged in all of my X10 modules and gave them the unit codes described above
- Plugged in the CM11A controller and hooked it to the only serial port
- Followed the directions here.
- Reloaded the router and regenerated orbiter if it asked to
- Tested each module with the Lights > Floorplan button in MCE
