- Please note that LinuxMCE-1204 is in a pre-alpha state but is now installable for testing purposes.
- By installing LinuxMCE-1204 you accept that you will experience system breakage from time to time as packages are updated and bugs are discovered/fixed, etc.
- If you install LinuxMCE-1204 be prepared to file bug reports in trac.
- Developers can only follow up when bugs are properly reported in trac.
- Please do not expect 'support' for running LinuxMCE-1204.
- If you install LinuxMCE-1204 you understand that you will have to troubleshoot any issues that arise and document them in a trac ticket.
- Once a ticket is filed please return to look at it every couple of days to see if a dev has any questions or needs more information.
- And... A big thank-you for testing!
- It is only through community testing and bug reporting that LinuxMCE will improve!
- Your thorough testing and documentation is really appreciated!
- join #linuxmce-devel on Freenode IRC.
Internet Installation
Installing LinuxMCE-1204 over the network is a fairly easy process that involves:
- Installing Kubuntu 12.04
- Updating Kubuntu 12.04
- Installing LinuxMCE-1204 on top of the updated Kubuntu 12.04
- Install Precise Pangolin desktop and update it. (download Kubuntu 12.04 desktop release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.04/release/kubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso Currently, only the 32bit version of LinuxMCE is available. Only download the i386 version of 12.04 Kubuntu, even if your system can support 64bit versions. Note: If Kubuntu asks whether you would like to install/activate 'Restricted Drivers' for your video card, ignore it and continue to step 2.
- Grab the latest installer script from our servers.
- Run the following (as root): mce-install.sh
- Reboot, wait for the activity to stop (see progress on console).
In other words, after installing Kubuntu run the following:
sudo -i apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade reboot # in case a new kernel was installed
Then after reboot:
sudo -i wget -q http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/new-installer/mce-install.sh && chmod +x mce-install.sh ./mce-install.sh reboot # (if it does not do it automatically)
If you have problems with any aspect of the system please log a trac ticket.
