Dianemo S
Dianemo S10.10 is a paid for software product that enables you to have a Dianemo installation on almost any LinuxMCE compatible Core hardware that you already own. The software only product is supported via the LinuxMCE forum to keep its cost to a minimum. We cannot guarantee that all hardware will work with Dianemo S10.10 so there will be some restrictions as to which hardware you can install it on. One key restriction is that both for Hybrid NerveCentre's (Intel GPU's may work in UI1 only) and Media Managers we will only be supporting nVidia GPU's. Each installation will have a Dianemo installation ID and will be upgradable to future releases using a disc-less online update/upgrade procedure. You will get 12 month's of updates/upgrades included in your initial purchase cost and there will be an annual charge to continue to receive updates/upgrades for subsequent years. Updates will be released as and when we develop them and will be available at the same time as they are made available to our hardware products and OS upgrades will follow shortly after Ubuntu OS releases and dates. Any customer who does not sign-up for the paid for updates will not loose access to their system they will just not receive any updates/upgrades.
See the Dianemo Forum Thread for more information about pricing and the procedure for purchasing a license.
Installing Dianemo S10.10
Below are the simple steps needed to install Dianemo S10.10 on your existing LinuxMCE compatible hardware;
- Install 32bit Desktop edition Ubuntu 10.10 from a LiveCD
- When prompted to upgrade to 11.04 say NO.
- At this point you should have the dianemo-licence and dianemo-installer debs somewhere on the drive (via e-mail from CHT).
- Install the dianemo-temporary-licence deb first
- Install the dianemo-installer deb second
- Open a termnial
- Execute in terminal:
/usr/pluto/install/install-dianemo.sh
It will prompt you for your user password for sudo, to become root ie the user/password you created in the Ubuntu installer. Go make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, bake a few biscuits, that kind of thing!... while the installer does its thing.
The installer will download the debs and install them for you without asking any questions. After the system is installed, it will run Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh as well. If installation finishes successfully, reboot your system and Dianemo will start.
Dianemo Permanent License Key
Within 14 days of your Dianemo S10.10 installation contacting our servers you will receive another deb called 'Dianemo-license-nnnnnn' this should be copied to your NerveCentre and installed. This deb installs a securely signed file that completes your installation.
