**19 Oct. 2009 - I've been fighting with a CM11A and two X10 appliance relays and I have come to the conclusion that X10 is old technology which should be taken out behind the shed and put down.  It looks like noise on my power lines is causing the appliance relays to turn 'ON' whenever they feel like.  LMCE is not the cause.  I'll need to try ZWave or Insteon some time I've got disposable cash.

*This map may seem rather complicated at first but is built this way out of necessity.  I had a pre-existing network which serves my parents and my wife and I.  The existing network had to remain stable throughout my learning curve with LMCE and could not be down for a 4 hour re-install, or more...  As I am able, and stability permits, I will migrate devices to the LMCE network.

*The Ubuntu NAS exists within both networks to serve files to PCs in the original network as well as the LMCE network, it's also my original Mythtv backend.

  • 1 GB RAM, 1GB LAN, Analog Audio, VGA - 800x600
  • Powered PC Speakers
  • LCD Monitor

Orbiters

Networking

  • Linksys WRT350N - DD-WRT v24preSP2
    • Internet Firewall
    • Asterisk 1.4 Server - SIP line (not yet controlled by LMCE)
  • Linksys PAP2T-NA ATA
  • 2 x D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Green switches

File Server

  • QNAP-410 TurboNAS
    • Marvell 800Mhz, 256MB RAM, 2x1GB LAN
  • 4x2TB SATA HDDs - RAID5
  • Debian running apt-cacher-ng.


Installation

Core

  • Disconnect all devices from the internal lmce network
  • Boot the Installation DVD and choose "Install LinuxMCE", follow the instructions.
  • Install apt-cacher-ng before installing LMCE from the desktop.
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher-ng_0.4-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i apt-cacher-ng_0.4-1_i386.deb

Update (create) /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy to point to the local apt-cacher-ng. The install scripts will alter this to "http://dcerouter:3142" when it finishes. This file is also automatically copied to MDs when they are created, which is handy. All upgrades will now be cached on the dcerouter and MDs will automatically use the cache. 

echo 'Acquire::http { Proxy "http://localhost:3142"; };' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy

Edit /etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf and set a proxy to another apt-cacher-ng repository (my QNAP NAS), if desired.

  • Continue Installing according to the DVD installation instructions for 0810 beta2, LinuxMCE-0810_beta.
  • Install libdvdcss
apt-get update
apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs
  • Configure the onboard wireless of the Zotac ION to be an Access Point.

WIP

  • Create the initial MD images
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh
  • Turn devices on/plug-in one by one
  1. QNAP-NAS
  2. EeeBox
  3. WebDT
  4. N800
  5. TabletPC1
  6. N900
  7. HDHomerun

MDs

  • Install libdvdcss & w32 codecs
apt-get update
apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs

Outstanding Issues I need to investigate as I have time

  • Proper (complete) device templates for TV, Receiver, PS3, Wii, 9242 PVR
  • UI2 on the EeeBox is elusive**Current driver causes segfault/cifs-vfs errors
    • Updated xorg and intel driver work great but mouse and keyboard events are not picked up by orbiter.
    • This has been pushed back to 1004 release, UI2 should work ootb with 1004 intel video drivers.
