Beginners Guide: Quick & Dirty
WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS Warning use of these instruction may harm your computer.

This guild assumes a stock as you can get, to fresh install as possible, configuration. With one core and at least one orbitor.
My goal here is to have a collection of useful hacks for the frustrated beginner intend as a quick and dirty guide to just getting LMCE to work damn it
- Orbiters - Humans best friend
- Whats the ip address of my orbiter:
stub - admin webpage guide stub - orbiter page
- Gaining root on an orbiter:
ssh 192.168.80.1
sudo su
ssh ipaddressoforbitor
- MythTV Work arounds
- Deinterlace filter Hell (a per orbiter hack):
Where OB# is the Orbiter number
ssh 192.168.80.1
sudo mv /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/pluto/bin/MythTV_Player /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/home/mythtv/MythTV_Player.bkup
sudo ln -s /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/bin/mythfrontend.real /usr/pluto/diskless/OB#/usr/pluto/bin/MythTV_Player
Now your settings wont get over written on next startup.
--Note: this worked last night but after "cleaning up" the basement and moving the core to its new home this morning, mythtv stop working:Benjaminbrown
- MythBackend Recorders (sound capture will not retain settings)
This has more to do with lmce setting the capture to the first mic it finds on start up.. So just forget about using the fancy internal cd input or, using the line in, and just plug the silly phono jack from the card to the mic. It will save you from to much nagging while still allowing you time to really fix it latter. stub - Link to real fix using alsaclt
