| == My 810 Install Instructions ==
| |
| | |
| The following are instructions for my hardware setup specifically, if you have hardware that deviates, some of the steps (ie sound card names, etc) may vary for you. (Upgrade process: 1 kernel 2 nvidia 3 alsa 4 v41)
| |
| | |
| 1. Install Kubuntu Desktop 810
| |
| | |
| 2. Upgrade Ubuntu to latest
| |
| sudo apt-get update
| |
| sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
| |
| | |
| At this point I also associate the graphics adapter to the nvidia driver as well (Hardware Drivers program in KDE).
| |
| | |
| I prefer using htop to view system stats:
| |
| sudo apt-get install htop
| |
| | |
| After this I reboot.
| |
| | |
| 3. Install OpenSSH for remote command line administration
| |
| sudo apt-get install openssh-server
| |
| | |
| 4. Install FreeNX for secure remote GUI administration from ubuntu help site: help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
| |
| | |
| 5. Install MCE v810 (taken out from the lmce alpha2 wiki page **NOTE** Fiire chief does not yet function on 810, please reference forum post forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8571.0 for latest details)
| |
| sudo su -
| |
| mkdir ~/downloads
| |
| cd ~/downloads
| |
| wget -c http:// deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
| |
| tar xvf new-installer-alpha-latest.tar.gz
| |
| cd new-installer
| |
| ./pre-install-from-repo.sh
| |
| ./mce-install.sh
| |
| ./post-install.sh
| |
| sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2 kubuntu-restricted-extras
| |
| reboot
| |
| | |
| ''' Decided not to perform - The following Steps have caused me issues ''' | |
| | |
| 1. Download and install latest nvidia drivers
| |
| cd ~/downloads
| |
| wget http:// us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.14/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run #remove the space between http:// and us.download
| |
| sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
| |
| sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run
| |
| sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
| |
| sudo reboot
| |
| | |
| 2. Download and install latest V4L drivers for PCHDTV 5500 card
| |
| sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers-`uname -r`
| |
| cd /usr/src
| |
| sudo hg clone http:// linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb #Due to wiki constraints I had to insert a space between http:// and linuxtv, close this space prior to running
| |
| cd v4l-dvb
| |
| sudo make
| |
| sudo make install
| |
| #Open permissions so myth can use the adapters
| |
| sudo chmod 775 /dev/video*
| |
| sudo chmod -R 775 /dev/dvb*
| |
| sudo chmod 775 /dev/vbi*
| |
| sudo chmod 775 /dev/dsp*
| |
| | |
| | |
| 3. Update to the latest alsa driver (1.20 as of this writing)
| |
| | |
| '''Easy Way:'''
| |
| | |
| If you have a login to the ubuntu forums, download and install latest install script from ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810
| |
| | |
| Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file to include the following at the end of the file:

| |
| | |
| sudo aptitude install build-essential libncurses-dev gettext xmlto xmltoman linux-headers-`uname -r`

| mkdir ~/downloads
| |
| cd ~/downloads
